I love to come here with friends and family! They have 50¢ wings on Monday and Thursday. Plus other specials thru the week. Try the mango habanero, not too hot but tons of flavor! Delicious egg rolls too! They have a lot of good beer on tap plus VERY affordable prices it. Including the 32oz beers! Also have nice specialty drinks tha the girls love too! Definitely a place you must stop if your in the abingdon area!

Ordered grilled chicken nachos to go, asked for the toppings on the side do the chips don’t get soggy. The guy at the register clearly didn’t want to be there. Rude with great attitude. We let it slide and tipped him anyways. Came home to find nachos chips and chicken. No salsa, no cheese, no guacamole, no sour cream, no lettuce, no tomatoes. I want my $14.75 back.

We had been eyeing this place for a while and decided to stop by and try it out, first i want to say the quesabirra tacos were AMAZING probably some of the closest I’ve had to the good stuff in Florida. Full of flavor, heavy on the portions, cheese was super melty and had that cheese pull everyone is after nowadays. Highly recommended those. Secondly the other dishes were decent but we all agreed that all the dishes except for the birra were very overcooked. Which i would rather them be overdone compared to underdone. Corn ribs were good but i wish there was more topping on them as some of the ones on the bottom were lacking the cotija cheese and cilantro. Fish tacos were not my favorite i probably should have read the item description better as I expected a grilled fish but it was breaded, even with the coleslaw and mango dressing i still felt they were very bland. Guac and queso were very flavorful though! Food came out in a timely manner and was hot, service was good, my friend mentioned the coconut margarita was delicious, only giving 3 stars on food because 3 out of 6 items were overcooked. We will be back but we will probably stick to the birra and cocktails next time!

Food was really good and tastes super fresh. Atmosphere was awesome with cool decor. Bar area was really nice with huge TVs for watching the game. Right next door to the cinemall movie theater so we got a bite to eat and went over to watch a movie. This was our first time there and we will be back!

Really enjoyed my first meal at Papa Julio’s! They have already worked out the kinks and this new restaurant is on point. There is something for everyone with burgers, pasta, Mexican food, steak, ribs, fish, pork chops, chicken, and even a kids menu. Full bar, average prices, and excellent service. If you were waiting to hear how it was, your wait is over.
Please give me a “like” if my review helped.

I usually don’t write reviews for local restaurants unless they were really good, as I know how hard it is to keep one going in Abingdon, having seen some great places close in the last year. I’m making an exception for Papa Julio’s. I’ve lived and worked in Mexico, and went to college in Texas. The food here was truly awful from start to finish, and was Mexican food in name only. The chips were fried in a rancid tasting oil and we couldn’t eat very many due to the off taste. The salsa was inoffensive but not great. The guacamole was slightly gray and some of the worst I’ve ever had – watery, too much onion, unripe tomatoes, no garlic, etc. Guacamole isn’t hard to make and it’s table stakes for a Mexican restaurant to have good, fresh made, guacamole. The queso was probably from a can and you can get better at the grocery store. But the chicken fajitas, wow, just terrible. It wasn’t even fresh chicken and was basically a breast filet that had been previously frozen or even some kind of premade fajita chicken. It was cold and dry when it came out, and there was no marinade or flavor whatsoever. The veggies were over oily and barely seasoned, and again had the same rancid oil taste as the chips. They didn’t bring out any tortillas either which is necessary for fajitas. The carne asada was better than the other dishes, but one of the people in our group felt sick after eating it. If you want a margarita or a beer before the movies it’s probably fine, but the food was pretty inedible, and nothing close to Mexican food.

We got started with the Julio’s Sampler and cheese dip for appetizers. I got the Tropical Burrito. My wife got Pablano ACP. All of the food was very delicious and presented very well.
Karaoke in the background with sports on the big screens. We had an amazing time, and we definitely will return!

Another visit 10/25: much improved, but it was early lunch and quiet. Chilie relleno with steak/black beans and rice was excellent. Service was excellent too.
Very sports bar atmosphere. Poblano soup was really good but too much. Wife liked lettuce wraps. Service was good.

If you live here in Abington, VA or are traveling thru, you have got to stop and eat here!! From the atmosphere, the free salsa bar, the kind-prompt service, to the diverse tasty menu, there is something for everyone! As an added touch, the menu has pictures of most everything they serve, and the food came out exactly as pictured, as well as tasted amazing!!! We had the Rice & Beans bowl with steak/chicken/shrimp along with the Papa Julio’s Feast of three seafoods. Aaah-mazing!!! They even knew to bring corn tacos for my Celiac diseased husband (gluten free) without a request, because they heard us talking about his Celiac needs!! Thank you for a nice dinner for two weary travelers! (It’s about <1 mile off interstate by the movie theaters)
