    We came for dinner, drinks, and the ocean view. The food, decor, drinks, and view met all my expectations and more. I'm really happy to see a tiki themed bar and restaurant in this area as a transplant from California. It reminded me strangely of a beachside bar/restaurant in San Diego. The decor was aesthically pleasing and loved the music while we dined. They also have firepits in front to enjoy on chillies summer nights. We ordered musubi, tacos, and sliders. All were very tasty. I think the chef makes his own version of spam, so be prepared for that, it is different, not as salty as the traditional spam. For cocktails, we tried two, and out of the two the rosemary gin cocktail was the best. The views of the ocean from here are to die for. Great spot for couples or girls night out.

    Just came for drinks and to check out the ambiance after hearing rave reviews and it did not disappoint! The decor is on point from wall paper down to the glassware. Staff was super friendly. The food looked really good and will have to come back again to try. For drinks we got the Your Thai (served in a pineapple glass) and Grey Gardens

    We went for cocktails Thursday night! It is part of a motel so you dont get lost! They are only open until 8pm so we only had time for one drink, but it was delicious! I got the mai tai and really enjoyed it. I can definitely see this being a great place during the day as they have gorgeous views of the water. Fun atmosphere!

    One of the coolest spots in southern Maine. Every visit to Lulu's has been awesome--my go-to in York! FOOD Eclectic, fresh & full of flavor - a creative menu this town needed SERVICE Friendly, helpful staff--shoutout to the awesome bartenders AMBIANCE Vibe is unmatched - Definitely the coolest spot in York (maybe all of southern Maine). Bonus - Live reggae band on Tuesdays

    So incredible!!! Amazing service, drinks, cutest fire places outside, and even had lots of vegan options!!

    Slightly more sober the morning after, Lulu's is another gem in York's crown. Outstanding tacos that I wish could have been sliced directly into my mouth. Loved the tuna crudo, and the drinks were perfectly powerful and delicious and creative. Coming back for fluffernutter pop tarts and ambrosia ASAP. Need a shirt!!!

    Such a cool new spot on the beach - view of the ocean is beautiful (get seats at the outward facing bar if you can). Food was delish & loved the menu's variety/uniqueness. Portions are on the smaller side so order a bunch to share!

When we're visiting the area for an extended period we usually get takeout from here. We haven't dined-in in a very a long time. Why four stars? We ordered from here twice during our recent visit. The first time was great. However, the second time we got takeout they forgot the verde sauce on my Husband's burrito, put my husband's queso order in a metal togo container like the one my burrito bowl came in. It was very soup and was a leaking mess by the time we got home. Not sure why it wasn't in a cup with a lid like the guac, and like it has been other times. Also, this second time I found myself chewing on a a large piece of chicken from my veggie burrito bowl - for someone who hasn't eaten animals in over two decades and had no intention of starting to do so, it was pretty awful. It was not yet crowded either time we ordered and was a weekday (around 5PM-ish). Given the first time we ordered was fine, we're thinking/hoping the missing verde sauce, soupy mis-packaged queso and chicken piece debacles were a reflection of an off evening in the kitchen. That said, next time we'll likely check our order before leaving with it.

    Service is nonexistent, food is worse than chipotle. How does food come from the kitchen already…read morecold? Plastic melamine plates. I hadn't been in years and now I remember why. Avoid.

You walk in and the vibe is fun, colorful, and eclectic. It reminded me of a classic Mexican restaurant with a tasteful, funky modern touch. My watermelon margarita was incredible and we got the salsa trio that had a good mix of spicy mango salsa, a mild but flavorful green salsa, and fresh pico de gallo style. The chips did taste homemade but if not still enjoyed the thicker corn style chip you don't usually find in restaurants! We each got 3 street tacos and all were great, even the sweet potato taco! The chicken was chopped a bit thick for street taco style but it was still great flavor, and rice was a bit salty but not unbearable.

We (parents and a toddler) arrived hungry after driving two hours and had a hard time getting his attention at times. We arrived before 6pm on a Friday but still there was a wait. Once we were seated, the server was pretty prompt and really friendly, though generally service was somewhat slow with a wait for food. We were waiting almost an hour for entrees and about to change our order to to-go because of stress with our exhausted toddler, but of course that's when the food arrived. We had to shovel it in and leave. The food was the most disappointing part. The chips are clearly not homemade. The salsa didn't have much flavor, and the guacamole was a huge letdown. It had a dull green color and very "slop" style texture (think sour cream texture, not chunky like real guac) that all pointed to store bought / not fresh. I had the chicken enchiladas, and the sides of rice (so salty) and beans (very soupy) brought down an already undesirable dish. The enchiladas were cooked nicely but far too cheesy. The green sauce was nearly tasteless, the red sauce is what made it all edible. Wouldn't ever really come back here. I wish I could say something more positive!

He has since reopened a new business in the same location he had a taco place. (Of course, more than just tacos.) I was really bummed when that closed, but so happy he reopened into something new. The burgers are top notch. They are really good quality. Everything is fresh and made to order. We had a couple of his "off the menu" burgers and they did not disappoint. We also had a burger from the regular menu. I saw a FB post recently stating he created a Mexican dish that was being offered that day. Seriously, take it day by day and never go in with an expectation of what you "think" you will be ordering. He's full of surprises and we have never been disappointed with any dishes at any of his many business locations.

So I looked them up and saw the adult happy meal on the menu and knew I had to try them. An hour and half drive was 100000% worth it!!! The entire building is small but feels very inviting and comfortable. The atmosphere is iconic with out of this world 90s cartoons painted on the walls. Even the bathroom had a touch of this nostalgia and whimsy (trust me look in the bathroom mirror for an amazing little touch). The staff were equally amazing and truly wonderful. I am currently pregnant and being very careful about what I eat so my husband asked the bartender/waiter if the feta is pasteurized. Most people would have simply said I don't know and moved on but this fellow went and asked the kitchen if the feta is pasteurized (it is). It's little things like that that make us want to go back. Now on to the star the food and drink! We had the soft pretzel which comes with beer cheese and stone ground honey mustard and the fried feta. The pretzel was great and the beer cheese was also great but the feta was indescribable. Every aspect of the feta was perfect and a true umami experience. I got the adult happy meal (a smash burger, chicken nuggets, and fries). It also comes with a toy which is just cherry on top status. The burger was fantastic BUT the fries and nuggets were crazy good. My husband got Flo's Double Burger and he had eaten half of it before I got mine out of the box. He would have eaten two of them if he wasn't so full! He also got the I gotta say... today was a good day sour ale. He loved it and enjoyed it enough we left with a four pack!

A basket of tortilla chips and salsa was brought and we ordered beverages. We sat and chatted for a couple of hours. The restaurant was mostly empty during our visit with a few lunch diners still in house who left during our stay. Once we had drinks, the bartender was not in sight. They did come by once to ask if we would like to order another beverage. Our pre-paid parking time was running out and we needed to run. Could not find our bartender. We sorted that out and were able to get back to our cars as the parking maid was making the rounds. Portsmouth does not mess around with paid parking! The interior is festive Mexican. Single bathrooms for Female, Male and family, so 3 total restrooms. Parking is paid city lots. Entrance is up a set of steps. Outdoor dining in a pedestrian area.

There were a couple of empty tables so not sure why we couldn't sit outside?? But she then says "oh, I found you a table!" lol Service took forever....soooooooo SLOW it was painful. It was busy & I saw @ least 3 servers and peeps running out food. Our waitress was very nice, Sophie but the wait for EVERYTHING was torture. Menus, silverware & chips and salsa did come out quickly but we weren't there to eat. Their salsa was horrible, it was sooo thin & tasted like a cheap spaghetti sauce or like a can of tomatoes puréed. Thumbs down for that. Our soft serve margaritas were super cute & colorful but also really, really small & for $13 not worth the $$$$. Those took forever to come out. She brought 2 out @ first & we had to wait for the machine to make more to get the other 2. It didn't taste like a margarita but tasted like an italian ice, a very sour one. This isn't on the menu, you have to ask for it. We ventured off to another Mexican bar to try their's out which was huge, creamy & tasted like a Margarita. We spent way more time in this place than we wanted to due to the very slow service. I doubt I will be back here to even try out their food, sorry guys......maybe inside the service may have been quicker?
