You can find it situated in the parking lot of the plaza at the intersection of Montlieu and Lexington/Greensboro most days (Sundays are the exception). The very succinct menu consists of three flavors of tacos, three flavors of tortas, and four flavors of agua fresca. Tacos run $2 apiece and are authentic-style, served up with onions, cilantro, lime, cucumber, and a spicy green salsa. The "chili pork" are pastor, and while you can find better in the area, Julio's version is still fairly flavorful. You also can't go wrong with the "sausage," which are chorizo. The proprietor (presumably Julio) is always polite, and he turns around orders very quickly. The next time a taco craving hits, don't sleep on Tacos Julio.

The soaps are always very fresh and flavorful as they are made to order. The service was very friendly both times. The prices are also extremely reasonable.

Happy eating!

It's a free standing building with a menu on the outside. There are drive through windows on each side of the building. Food: I got the grilled asada tacos 3/$8. The salsa was great: green is mild enough for kids and the red is hot enough for me. The pepper that came with it was fire and made me glad I ordered the Horchata. Minus one star because the meat could be seasoned a little better. Almost had a boiled taste to it. I'll definitely back and try the pastor tacos.

My wife and I went with a friend of the family and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the restaurant…read more The vibe felt very much like a chain restaurant vibe, but the food tasted authentic. The restaurant itself was really clean despite the lunch rush just having gone through. So we were really impressed with the tables being kept up after the lunch rush and the chairs were comfortable as well. The prices are fair especially with how good the food is. Even our family friend who is notoriously picky was impressed by the food. One downside was that it was difficult to understand the lady behind the counter however we were able to order by pointing to what we wanted. One of the meals we got we aren't sure exactly what it was, as we pointed to something someone else had gotten. Our friend got the chicken quesadilla and she said it was really good. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the guacamole. It was a bit thin and bland. We went based on a recommendation of a coworker who said they had three tacos for $9.99 as part of a meal and they said they were so good and it was a really great value which is why we went there. We definitely weren't disappointed and plan on returning.

My friend and fellow Yelp Elite Squad Member Lauren M. recommended California Burritos during a…read morerecent visit with her in High Point, NC this month. Lauren's opinions on dining come highly recommended, but I did not realize that what she was saying about this eatery was no exaggeration. This place is ridiculously delightful. It has a fun themed atmosphere centered around their efficient counter service. Their prices are justified for the quality of food they serve. They feature a Cali-Mex menu with a range from the familiar to the new and exciting. I ordered a favorite of mine, the Chori-Steak, which had grilled steak and chorizo (Mexican sausage) with queso on top. It was served with yellow rice, guacamole, and 3 tortillas. While you can find this dish in a lot of Mexican restaurants, theirs is superb. My meal was delicious, but my wife's was mind blowing. She ordered their signature dish, the California Burrito. It was stuffed with steak, cheese, Pico de Gallo, guacamole, sour cream, and fries. As much as I love potatoes in many different forms, I thought the fries would be an unnecessary filler. Boy was I wrong! The fries add a well-seasoned flavor and texture to the burrito. I am ordering this for myself the next time I am there. I recommend listening to my friend Lauren M. and trying California Burritos the next time you are in High Point.

The menu is not especially broad, about what you'd expect with this type of spot! I ordered the Pozole Rojo and 2 Chorizo Tacos. My order was quickly done, no more than 10 minutes. The tacos were not topped when I got them, the meat was in warm tortillas and the chopped onion, lime, and cilantro were in a separate area. I applied the toppings, added lime juice and some of several salsas completed the item. These are good tacos and there is plenty of chorizo in them. I would order tacos here again if in the area, but it is not a destination spot. The Pozole Rojo was not really good. It was greasy, under seasoned, and had a bitter after taste. Definitely not a reorder item. Ambiance - 2 Food - 3 Service - 4 Value - 3 ( applied to tacos only)

The tacos, 2 Chorizo & 2 Campechano (4 for $8.99)were more than a little disappointing - both meats were over cooked and dry; the Campechano was a strange mixture and lacked the traditional Chicharrones and the beef, whatever cut it was, was anything but tender and flavorful. The Milanese de Pollo ($11.99) was rather nice ( though there is little in the cutlet that shouts Mexican) but if what I received was 1/2 chicken, it was indeed a very small bird. And the side of beans was all liquid, not a single bean to be found. Would not return here, especially with Tacos Casa Miguel just a bit up the road! Ambiance - 2 Food -2 Service - 4 Value - 2

We were part of a larger party of couples, approximately 12-14 people in total. Space was reserved in advance on the covered patio which was ready early for the party and the staff was happy to seat us and get drinks started. Overall the restaurant was very clean as well as the restrooms. The reason for 3-stars is I rate Mexican restaurants on three main dishes which should always be outstanding; Al Pastor, Carnitas, and sizzling Fajitas. If there is a failure with any ONE of these menu items the highest rating I can give is 3-stars! For starters the salsa was bland no taste, no hint of cilantro or spice. Some previous reviews mentioned the chips were thin, I didn't find that to be the case during my visit. They were fresh and warm. The fajitas were great, probably some of the best we've had in years. They were well seasoned and the steak & chicken was very tender. The veggies still had some crunch and weren't overcooked. However, there was no guacamole and a small squirt of sour cream. The rice didn't have any flavor on it, no salt..nothing!, But the beans were nicely seasoned and we were glad the beans didn't have cheese on them. However, we had to request the flour tortillas several times. The Carnitas were tender but had absolutely no flavor or seasoning whatsoever. They were just chunks of fried pork tips in grease, probably fried in vegetable oil not the traditional lard and obviously not with sour orange and seasonings. There wasn't a grilled jalapeño or even any pico de gallo on the side, they were very disappointing. We couldn't find Al Pastor anywhere on the menu. And speaking of the menu it was very large with way too many items. You can't possibly do all of these items justice. I recommend they scale the menu down and do a superb job on the customer "favorites" while offering seasonal items for a limited time.
