Tuco and Blondie




The red neon sign reads "Mexifun" on the wall and reflects the 4 Star Restaurant Group’s philosophy for their new restaurant, while a soft-serve ice cream machine near the front window reiterates it. There's a hodge-podge of Mexican references inside: a luchador, a "Good, The Bad, The Ugly" poster and even a Virgin Mary covering one of the restaurant’s exposed brick walls. The opposite wall features a more vibrant side with a colorful mural.


There are 250 seats and the space spans 6,000-square feet, including the insides and a large outdoor patio. The designers from Grip and SPACE Architects + Planners have gone for more of a pop-art feel that’s welcoming to the families that roll with their strollers down Southport.

Tuco & Blondie, 3358 N. Southport Ave, open 11 a.m. to midnight on weekdays; 10 a.m. to midnight on weekends. Weekend brunch service starts immediately and goes from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
