Julio’s has some of the best flavors in town, but I had a bit of a struggle with the temperature this time. My fideos were served pretty cold, and the tacos went cold way faster than I expected.
That being said, the food itself is delicious and super rich in flavor. The real stars of the show? The flan and the coffee. Seriously, they take the crown! I’ll definitely be back for that dessert combo alone—hopefully with a hotter main course next time.”

It’s a nice place but seems like the food doesn’t match the decor. Service was good, no problems there. Horchata tasted like milk with cinnamon…no pulp at all from the rice and seems store bought. Pricing was fair but the food reminded me of Covid. Very little taste and dry. Chile rellenos were from a frozen box and the sauce was straight tomato sauce. No spice no flavor on any of the food. Menu needs to be beefed up as well…very small selection.

We had an amazing experience! Oscar provided outstanding customer service from start to finish. He was very attentive, interactive with our group, and made us feel completely welcome. He was fast, efficient, and handled everything so smoothly.
Honestly, we’ll definitely be returning specifically because of the exceptional service he provided. On top of that, the food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor, and the drinks were just as great.
Highly recommend asking for Oscar — he truly made our visit memorable!

I’d want to thank Adrian for going above and beyond to ensure that our dinner experience was exceptional. Their sincere welcome and excellent service made all the difference. Our server was just fantastic. They made excellent suggestions, and quick! He engaged with each and everyone of us, and talked to my special needs brother with so much patience, and that’s one thing not a lot of servers provide. I highly recommend asking for him when you come dine in at Julio’s. P.s the food was great and the drinks as well!

Horrible! Horrible! Buffet now ends at 12pm. We were not informed while we waited or sat down. We sat at 1202pm, no food, no plates. Was told buffet closed in 10 minutes! Just horrible experince. Manager never came to talk to us. Server was trying to be helpful. All signage still says buffet ends at 1pm.

The food wasn’t good. Steak fajitas looked like inexpensive meat which was not cheap on the menu. The shredded beef crunchy tacos were filled with basically just cheese and lettuce. Thought the food would be better based on the restaurant atmosphere. We will be going back to the better Mexican restaurants.

This is my first time visiting this Julios. My mom had mentioned how the food and service are excellent, so I decided to give it a try. I must say, she was spot on. I had the flautas nortenas, the portions are extremely filling, I ended up bringing some home for leftovers. The tostadas they serve before the meal are warm and very tasty. The salsa has a great kick to it, and will not disappoint if you enjoy spicy. Jaed provided excellent service and was very friendly. I will definitely be back!

Good food, good people. We’ve gone to this restaurant a couple of times. The first time, the food was ok, maybe it was what we ordered. The second time we went the food was good. Last time we went for the buffet, it was really good, they had a lot of options, from eggs, guisado, tamales, pozole, menudo, plus more! It was delicious, the price was a little high, I think my hubby paid $50 for the two of us. It does get packed in the weekend for the buffet though.

This location is very very nice. I do like hacienda style look on the inside. We had Jamaica and limonada for our drinks. The Jamaica was delicious, not too sweet. The Mexican plate was very filling and delicous. The carnitas were a 9.5/10, crispy and tender. They were not dry at all. The salsa was not spicy at all, that’s the only thing I did not like the salsa was a 3.5/10. I want salsa to be semi spicy. This tasted like tomato sauce.

Food & service was outstanding! Party of 6 during brunch hours. Only 1 person decided to get a brunch buffet. There is not too much to pick from, that’s why the rest of the table decided to go with a menu item.I had crispy tacos, shredded beef. Overall, it was a great restaurant with delicious food.
