We went to Casa de Julia to celebrate my friend’s engagement and had such a great time! The place was fancy, the dinner was delicious, and there was a lot of fun entertainment. They even had karaoke night, which made the night even better. Definitely recommend!

This place was amazing. Everything from atmosphere, cocktails, entrees , and dessert! It doesn’t show up on Google when I search top rated restaurants so I’m glad that I stumbled upon it. I can’t wait to go back and try more dishes.

I loved everything about this place. It felt like being back home in Mexico. Food was amazing, I had the Pozole, best I’ve tried in Phoenix. Drinks were great and the Despechadas night was amazing. DJ and host did a great job with the music selection and so did the singer that night. Our waitress Claudia was great, they said our food and drinks would take long but they were actually out pretty fast. Thank you Casa de Julia for bringing the Mexico party environment to Phoenix.

Delicious food with authentic modern Mexican cuisine flavors, great “Sason” in every dish very tasteful, I order the Mole enchiladas with chicken and my wife got the grilled octopus, they were big portions. Service was great we made a reservation, and our spot was ready when we arrived, they had live music (saxophone) witch added a special touch for this evening. We will definitely return for more.

Such an amazing karaoke dinner experience! The food was delicious, the drinks were on point, and the atmosphere was so much fun. The song selection had something for everyone and the crowd made it even better. The staff was friendly, organized, and kept the night running smoothly. Perfect place for a fun night out — we’ll definitely be back!

If you’re looking for a place where the food is top-tier and the atmosphere is even better, this is it! Usually, restaurants with great music sacrifice the quality of the kitchen, but not here. The food was incredible, but the real highlight was the playlist/live setup. I spent half the night eating and the other half singing my heart out. It’s impossible to stay in your seat when the energy is this good. 10/10—my voice is gone, but my stomach is full and happy! Our server Heli was the BEST!

What a delicious and elevated Mexican culinary experience! To start, the bartenders were very knowledgeable and pointed us in the right direction of which cocktails best suited our preferences. The drinks were creative, gorgeous, and delicious!
For food, we had the pork belly on guacamole appetizer, grilled octopus, and braised short rib with a side of corn. Everything was so well executed – the octopus was prepared to the perfect texture, the short rib melted in your mouth, and the accompanying sauces brightened each bite. Between the two main courses, my husband and I could not decide which one we loved more.
My only regret was not getting dessert! Next time, though 🙂

I was very excited to try here and unfortunately I was severely disappointed.
The atmosphere is amazing but the service was lacking. They didn’t know the spirits at the bar and seemed confused on the menu .
The food looked decent but the ceviche was still raw and shrimp was just above gelatinous. The ribs were sinewy and full of cartilage. The short rib was tough.
I took clients there due to the high rating and had to apologize to them for the subpar meals.
I know they are new, but I would wait to go there.
With such a small menu, you would think they would perform well
They didn’t and I was very underwhelmed.
It ruined the kickoff of the business trip.

This is a small restaurant in downtown Phoenix. I went there because I heard they make great drinks. While I was there also tried their food, I had their short rib mole, which was delicious! They had some unique drinks which were also very good, not overly sweet and very visually appealing I went on Friday evening with a couple of friends and sat at the bar. They had several gluten-free options and I decided on the Short Rib mole, which had a little bit of a kick to it and it was delicious! At that time there wasn’t many people there, so I can’t speak for the atmosphere much but I like the decor and we had a good time!

I was excited to try this place since I’ve seen it on social media. My friends and I decided to give it a try on girls night. We went for restaurant week recently and ordered the three course meals. We ordered 3 appetizers which was the queso asado, the chicharrón, & the aguachile. We couldn’t decide on which one was better! The entrees we ordered were the asado de puerco, enchiladas, and the chicken mole. These were disappointing and almost inedible. The asado de puerco was tolerable and so were the enchiladas, but the mole was honestly one of the worst things I’ve ever attempted to eat! We ordered a few drinks and they were amazing and strong as they should be. For dessert we all had the tres leches cake and it was delicious! The atmosphere was beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. The service was okay, they did serve two of the entrees first and the mole took forever to come. The wait staff was very nice and had great drink recommendations. We agreed to return for drinks and appetizers but we will be avoiding the entrees. We spent almost $300 for all 3 of us.
