I ordered an app and 2 “entrees” to go. It seems like a $17 meal would be more than an 8″ burrito with salsa, a small scoop of Mexican rice and sour cream. Used to get a nice side of refried beans and Mexican rice to go with the burrito. I love Julio’s, but I’m disappointed.

A trip to Montpelier gave us a chance to stop into Julio’s for lunch where we had the most amazing quesadillas & the absolutely most freshest salsa I’ve ever had in my life! Our waitress was super friendly, and helped make our visit wonderful!

I have loved this restaurant since I was a kid getting out of school and I still love it. I turn 51 this winter. I commonly go here for my birthday dinner with a friend or two. They have maintained quality service in Montpelier all of that time. They were able to accommodate us during Covid when no one else could. They remind me of The Royal Orchid in that way. They have earned being recognized as a quality Montpelier establishment in my opinion.

Really solid eatery with a ton of choices featuring lunch and daily specials.

Came in during the weekend with a party of four and sat immediately. Waitress gave my party an option of a table or booth without prompting.

Beverage options include full bar service with specialty cocktails, Coke products, and even some delicious Maine Root Rootbeer.

We started of with some guac and chips even getting to choose how many avocados used (for portion size).

I tried the chimichanga blanco special that was featured and was very delicious. Not a heavy fried feel to it with layers of spice and textures in every bite. The blanco cheese wasn’t just your run-of-the-mill canned/jarred cheese sauce you’d pick up from the store. It was obviously handcrafted and seasoned and really sent the whole dish to the next level.

One of the party members ordered the shrimp street tacos (3) and they said it’s practically what they always order because it’s soooo good.

Another party members ordered the fajitas and while you expect the traditional fare on a heated skillet, but the kitchen didn’t take that as a challenge and super heat the cast iron skillet hotter than the sun. So the accompanying veggies weren’t burnt and cinders still retaining a nice snap and crunch without diminishing the intended flavors.

The last party members really struggled to choose after seeing so many tempting dishes on the menu and went for the Julio’s Special. Featuring a bean burrito, cheese enchilada,enchiladas, ground beef crunchy corn taco, with a choice of beans. It did not disappoint and really a great offering giving you a taste of the varied offerings here at Julio’s.

The service was wonderful and really some of the best cantina/Americanized Mexican food that I’ve had the pleasure to enjoy. I can’t wait to make my way back time and time again to try everything Julio’s had to offer.

My husband and I ate here 21 years ago going through Montpelier and loved it. We happened to be going through the Vermont capital again and wondered if it was still as good.

It turned out that it was as good as our memories. Staff were pleasant, service was timely, and the meal was delicious. Hope it isn’t another 21 years until we get back here again.

I would say this is mine, my fiancé and son’s favorite place to enjoy great service, food, and atmosphere. The whole staff is incredibly welcoming and friendly! Definitely recommend to my friends and family. Also have to mention the strawberry daiquiri is a new favorite, was a perfect night! Thank you!

Arrived before a Sunday dinner “rush” and was met by welcoming staff. The menu was apparently new and the waitress couldn’t answer a couple of questions about it but it wasn’t a huge deal. What threw me off was the number of times a waitress went by and none of the cups on my table were getting refills. Flagging someone down for a water refill isn’t common but I attribute that to a fairly young or new staff.

The food was exactly what I wanted! Crunchy tacos and burritos made to order. The tacos are surprisingly expensive. Three crunchy tacos are basically the same price as a fully loaded burrito that has five times the amount of food inside. The chocolate toffee mouse cake was delicious – but had a negligible amount of toffee.

We enjoyed our delicious lunch at Julio’s Cantina! We started with chips and salsa. I do wish the chips would have been served warm because that just enhances the flavor! We ordered the chicken fajitas and the shrimp fajitas, both of which were excellent! We also ordered the mango margarita and the jalapeño margarita, which were very good!

Finally, a place that has Mexican food similar to real Mexican food. It is hard to find compared to the west coast authentic style Mexican cuisine. Well this for Vermont is it. Try their combos worth every penny. Their street tacos are mix and match and half the price compared to the horrible tasting place called Mad Taco down the street. This is my pick even over burlington area Mexican inspired places.
