"Tuco and Blondie is a family-friendly spot that elevates Mexican-style staples to modern Chicagoan sensibilities. The colorful spot adds an egg white to its classic drink for a refreshing twist available by the glass or pitcher. Add on some flavor with options including avocado and prickly pear or cool off with a frozen version." - Samantha Nelson, Eater Staff
"What sets Tuco and Blondie’s margaritas apart is simple: egg white. The margaritas at this Lincoln Park Mexican spot have a unique foaminess folded in with the usual tart and sweet flavors, all for just $10. For something stronger, get the Grande Margarita which comes with an inverted Coronarita thrown into it. The beer makes this larger drink perfect for an afternoon of sipping as you try to improve your Vitamin D levels on their cute patio. But if it randomly rains (because that’s how Chicago works) their interior full of neon lights and colorful seating captures the summery atmosphere while keeping you dry." - john ringor, veda kilaru
"Tuco & Blondie attracts a diverse crowd including margarita sippers and those who yearn for the type of Mexican restaurants that were popular in the ‘80s." - Naomi Waxman
"Tuco and Blondie is a spacious Lincoln Park spot with and a bright, colorful interior that always feel like summer—the perfect environment not only for a casual meal of Mexican dishes like tacos and burritos, but also for just hanging out and drinking some refreshing margaritas. Classic margaritas here are just $10 and have a pleasant foaminess mixed with the usual tart and sweet flavors because of the addition of egg white. For something a little boozier, get the Grande Margarita which comes garnished with a cute inverted 7oz Coronita bottle that looks like it came from a six pack that was blasted by a shrink ray. photo credit: Christina Slaton" - John Ringor
"The Cadillac Margarita is the way to go at this bold, neon-filled Mexican restaurant. With lime, agave, and Grand Marnier, it’ll be like summer never left. Try it with a chile con queso and thank us later." - Vox Creative
