    Patience...  Good food takes time!!
    Kenn B.

    To start, the horchata is fresh, creamy, cold and delicious! My three tacos. Pollo, Asada & Al Pastor were very tasty. Small, but packed with flavor. Greasy, but imo, fat is flavor!! Their caliente salsa can come up a notch too. I'll try a platter of something next time.

    I stumbled upon this restaurant while searching for Mexican options in the Wimauma/Ruskin area. I arrived at the location on a Thursday evening. The restaurant is more of a store front with a few tables situated under a large carport. It looks dated however, these are normally the hidden gems. I ordered a shrimp burrito ($11.50) and a large cup of ceviche ($15). I previously lived in Panama and ceviche is one of my favorite foods. So I was excited to try the dish. Sadly, the ceviche was not edible. It tasted as if it was spoiled. I have tried various versions of ceviche however, I have never had ceviche minced in such a manner. The burrito was flavorless (no seasoning at all) and the shrimps were extremely small. The best part of the meal was the hot sauce.

    Referred by a coworker, I had to try Don Julio's. So far I've been twice and placed the same order; 4 Chicken tacos. They hit the spot so perfectly on lunch break at work, friendly staff, very reasonable on pricing, and fully loaded tacos packed with flavor! Go give them a try if you haven't already, it'll easily become a local favorite.

    Disappointed the food wasn't great. Steak was dry and very salty from the taco to the burrito. I dont recommend the steak, and Nacho didn't have any seasoning. I spent over $80, and I'm not happy.

    Vibrant! This place is so visually appealing! It's got panache-inside and out. If we really do eat…read morewith our eyes first, the appetizers start at the curb (and continue in the entry hall-stop and check out the wall art on the way). Truly-it's a feast for the senses-all the colorful lamps, the background music, the accent lighting and wall quotes, even the menus: super colorful and stylish. I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon around 1:30, for a late lunch after morning errands. I was hoping to find a new hangout for Saturday nights with friends. This place is large-so many booths and tables-and a separate bar area with tall stools. It's somewhat dim inside, even with all the windows, which just adds to the ambiance. It's also very clean and well staffed. Service was quick and efficient--complimentary chips and salsa arrived in a flash-and I truly appreciate my server telling me the margarita at the bottom of the list was $40. (None of the cocktails have prices listed in the menu, as of May 2026). I wanted to order a couple of things, since I'd been trying to get here for so long. I ordered queso fundido, expecting it to be cheese dip with a bit or chorizo. It was actually the other way around: chorizo with a spoonful of cheese on top. It was surprising-very filling and tasty enough-and I liked that it came with three flour tortillas. But I don't think I'll get it again. Don't let that deter you, though. It's just my preference. It's made well and presented nicely, like everything here. Give it a whirl! I also ordered enchiladas Suizas. They came with a small guacamole salad and beans, which I swapped out for rice. This dish was really tasty and a generous portion-so much chicken in the enchiladas-super filling but not heavy at all. I was full from the appetizer, so I had lots of leftovers. They reheated beautifully. I would definitely order this again. But it's a big and intriguing menu. I have lots more exploring to do! This location has several sister restaurants, in places like Lakeland and Zephyrhills. This one is right off I-75 and really easy to access. There's lots of parking and I think they have mariachis, certain nights. I will definitely be back-sooner rather than later-and get more details. Cheers!

I said I…read morewould never go back after my second visit because of how tasteless the food is and how expensive it is for cheap products they use to make the food. Because it was Easter and my wife wanted Mexican food, I figured after a year since my last visit to this restaurant they may have gotten better. I was actually worse. The FREE chips and salsa were terrible. Chips were hard and old tasting and the salsa was watery and tasteless. I think I found one onion piece in the tomato soup they call salsa. Let's start with the service. Mr. No personality, what do you want, why are you asking me questions about the menu truly just seemed annoyed that my wife had a question before we ordered. I had the combo fajita with steak and chicken. My with had the Carne Asada tacos. The tacos had no flavor at all. Just tasted liked chopped up pork with a lot of onions and cilantro on top had no spices no seasoning. As for my fajitas, they to were lacking flavor and the portion for what they charge was shameful I had a big plate of onions with a couple of minced up pieces of chicken and steak scattered throughout it. Both our dishes were served with refried beans and rice and even that tasted like they forgot to season it or just chose not to season it. Truly never returning to this place. It sucks!!!!!!! Should have driven the extra 15 minutes to some of the places that have good reviews on Yelp.

The foods will be forever etched in my mind - cheap, fast, authentic and delicious - pull in and pull out in a matter of moments, English isn't the first language however do not dismay - just point and try to pronounce. Two sides of flattened white silty sandy parking which is torture in the high heat, better than black asphalt I suppose, but there's a large awning to sit under much unlike other taco spots along SR674. Menudo is heavy on homny, so I tend to order that delectable hangover helper elsewhere. The carne asada burritos are awesome - big on beef and fresh cut toppings of celantro and onion. All tacos are terrific at about two dollars and fifty cents a piece, maybe three - all incased in 4-5 inch double corn tortillas, four bites and your done. I've always departed full but not with that heavy stuffed feeling which is the world's worst feeling in the summer sun - my days of attacking meals with reckless abandon like everyday is Thanksgiving are all but over anyway - just a few nibbles, these handy hand foods are perfectly suited for me.

They're packed with flavor, cooked just right, and somehow hit that perfect balance of fresh and satisfying. Pair that with their rice and refried beans, which are way better than your typical "side dish afterthought" and it turns into one of those meals you think about later in the day. I've also had their birria tacos, and those deserve their own moment. Rich, flavorful, and the kind of messy that's 100% worth it. You know it's good when you stop talking mid-bite just to focus. My wife is just as loyal to her favorites, the sopes and tostadas. She swears by them, and after trying a bite (or a few... for research purposes), I get it. They're loaded, fresh, and clearly made with love. Overall, this is one of those spots where everything just works. Great food, consistent quality, and the kind of place you end up recommending to friends without even thinking about it.
