Me & Julio is located in Fitchburg, just south of Madison. It’s a short drive from places like the University of Wisconsin, the Alliant Energy Center, and the state Capitol. It’s also close to several Madison-area lodging properties.
The business became a big hit. It has a happy hour that’s popular with locals workers who need to unwind after a long day in the office. It’s also a lively spot on game day.
On warm days, the restaurant’s outdoor patio is the perfect place relax with friends. The restaurant has a small but nice beer selection and some fantastic margaritas. Order a traditional or one of their awesome specialty options, like lemon basil.
If you’re feeling like something with a little spice, Me & Julio has you covered. Enjoy some sizzling fajitas, savor a plate of delicious enchiladas, or enjoy a spicy selection of tacos and quesadillas.
But maybe you’re hungry for something a little further north of the border. No problem. Order the Ellsworth cheese curds and the classic fish fry, served with tartar sauce, coleslaw, and French fries. It’s awesome!
If you’re in Minnesota, there’s a second Me & Julio’s location in Hastings. Learn more about this great restaurant on the Me & Julio website. While there’s plenty of parking at Me & Julio, you may want to ride your bike there – it’s in the middle of a bicycling paradise.
