The food was great. The two different salsas were good. We loved the green salsa. The service was great. We stopped in happy Hour and drank a few margaritas. They were priced well and strong. Our serving was also really good. Everyone there was awesome. We will go back when we are in Houston. read more

Julia's Mexican Grill - 4 mini tacos - Mexican Near Me - Humble, Texas

We ordered the Tampeqűeña steak plate (2 adult plates) with 1 enchilada, rice and beans. I asked for medium well on both plates . We also ordered churros with cajeta sauce to be picked up by me. ---- I'm beyond disgusted with the quality of the so called " steak"! 1. It did not have any grain , the meat consistency was soft and very blended / strangely a texture that my brother and had NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE IN OUR LIVES! I was HORRIBLE, the meat had very high ridges and then flatter ones ! My so called "steak looked like the animal had toenails/ claws on the end of one longer extension of the "meat"! My brother has just had emergency heart surgery and was finally able to eat , so he was craving a steak and enchiladas ! He actually got sick at his stomach and when I saw the " claws " , I dumped both of our orders in the garbage! I had planned on going back to the restaurant for a refund and report this STRANGE MEAT , but I couldn't leave my brother alone because he can barely walk and he got even worse when he got sick from the food poisoning!!!! Julia's Grill is not what they once were! NEVER EVER AGAIN WILL I DINE OR OTHER FROM THEM ! The churros were hard and greasy . The cook looked like a high school kid working for the summer, so he overcooked the " MYSTERY MEAT " I'm afraid to actually know what they substituted for beef ! I wish I had taken photo of the " foot with claws at the end of my " mystery meat" and the price was $5.50 more per plate than the menu says and they didn't even mention it as I ordered on the phone ! Disgusting food! Waste of money and health implications! Just a shame NO NO NO NO NOT A GOOD CHOICE AT ALL ! read more

Found this spot in the way home one day. I really like the interior, it was very festive and had bar seating, outdoor seating and a family area. The waitress was really nice and the food came out really fast. I had the verde enchiladas. The food was good but I feel like it was missing something. I ended up putting a lot of salsa on mine. I am not sure what was missing but it was a little under seasoned for me. The margarita was really good and for $5 happy hour, you can't beat it. read more

Beef Fajitas! Just had a beef fajitas chimichanga here. The meat was so good. Really flavorful and tender. Next time I'm straight up getting the fajitas. Delicious! read more

We were on the hunt for some food that was affordable and delicious. Thankfully, we found Julia's. The ambiance was relatively quiet and intimate. The service was also great. We had a server who was on top of it and others jumped in without asking if they saw us lacking anything. In addition, we were introduced to a wonderful new type of slaw that I would recommend: jicama and radish. Ask them about it! It's wonderfully subtle and refreshing and just a great accent given the Texas heat. We were not able to get to dessert because our eyes were bigger than our stomachs but, best believe, the Tres Leches will be sampled on the next visit. read more

When i walked in it took like 5 mins to get a table and the food came out good but the customer service was bad

Really affordable and yummy! The margs are good, the quesadillas are really good. A great neighborhood spot.

I found this spot on my lunch break and decided to give it a try. I ordered a frozen house margarita and the chicken fajita nachos. I was not a fan of the nachos. The cheese they used on top was not melted and cold. The margarita, I would rate a 3/10 read more

Julia's Mexican Grill - Chicken fajita nachos - Mexican Near Me - Humble, Texas

I ordered online the deluxe Nachos, I get there & the bar tender doesn't say a word to me when I greet her nor said anything when I said what I arrived for. This is what I picked up & they gave me an extra bag of chips like I would even need the chips. I bring this back in for a refund & the waitress was like "this is a large, a large is 12 chips" ma'am just give me my refund I'm not about to play with yall this food is old, wasn't even warm & the portion was for a child & the Horta was watered down. I don't recommend coming here it's upsetting seeing dine in customers getting a full plate & a hot plate, but I get this. read more

Good Mexican food ... awesome service .. small place but it has everything I'd look for in a restaurant

Cute restaurant with excellent food and service, and I don't remember when we last went out for dinner and drinks and paid as reasonable a price. The zucchini and squash enchiladas and tacos were to die for. Can't wait to try to try other menu items! read more

Nice little hidden gem. Lived here for going on 3 years, have to say it was good and the service is great. Big screen tv and lots of tv's.

We love going to Julia's either as a couple or with a large group. This is a family owned restaurant and you can definitely tell with the welcoming atmosphere. Things I love to order: Fish or shrimp tacos, fajitas (beef, chicken or carnitas), Tampiquena Steak, bacon wrapped shrimp or chicken and of course the queso and guacamole. The margaritas are some of the best in the area, not overly sweet or tart. I prefer to actually taste some of the alcohol in my drink to know that I'm getting a good drink and these definitely pass for me! If you can't decide on a drink, ask them for a suggestion! We've found some great versions of margaritas that way. read more

I love Mexican food but this place is far from Mexican I'm positive it is Spanish style food but not authentic Mexican. The service was ok. The place seems like a nice place and location but food is not what's advertised. Hot sauce is nasty and if you ask for another one they will bring it but you will be charged for it and it was horrible as well ‍. Place is way over priced my bill at longhorn steak house was $40 less than this place. Last time coming here. read more

We love Julia's - a great neighborhood restaurant- we go at least once a week! Love the employees!

Fovorite local Mexican food! Great service, friendly atmosphere and a great patio for afternoon margaritas. The fajitas are fresh and hot, the margaritas are potent. read more

I love the Caldo de Rey!!! The Pina Colada is sooo good and the food has a great taste. My daughter found this spot and I love it!!!

came in here after chili's had a long wait time. nice place. wait time was long, especially considering we were the only ones there. waiter did pretty good! food was good in flavor; however, i would've liked to see a little more. i ordered a parrilla for 1 and expected more vegetables and not so much onion. prices were lower than other mexican places so maybe it balances out? not sure if i'd come back read more

Julia's Mexican Grill - parrillada para 1, chicken fajita - Mexican Near Me - Humble, Texas

Managers are very rude to people of color. Fajitas look like they are seasoned with just salt and pepper and the food isn't that flavor , it's actually really bland for a high price , I do not recommend. read more

I love this place! The food is always good, margaritas are delicious and strong, and I just love Salma! She is amazing... She knows what we want and has our drinks ready for us as we sit down. She's literally one of the best servers I've ever had. The whole team is amazing and treat you like you're part of their family... From the front desk to Mr. Angel... He always makes sure to come over to say hi and chat with us; Its almost as if were having dinner over at a family member's instead of eating at a restaurant. I recommend the blue margarita and tilapia filet or any of the quesadillas yuuum! read more

Definitely a good find in Humble and new spot for Mexican food when in the area. When we walked in the place wasn't busy. What stood out most was their red chairs and booth, I liked it gave it a cool feel. Hostess and wait staff were friendly attentive. Ordered two tacos one soft ranchero chicken and the other ground beef hard taco. I must say I can see myself getting addicted to the soft tacos! Ranchero chicken was so flavorful, tender, and moist. Added some fresh chopped jalapeños to it delish! The only downside was tortilla....great freshly made but should double it when serving the Ranchero chicken tacos! read more

Julia's Mexican Grill - I can very easily get addicted to their chicken soft taco - Mexican Near Me - Humble, Texas

Never tried this restaurant despite trying almost all the Mexican restaurants in this area. And I was always kind of disappointed in the selection with the others. My husband and I decided to stop by this one on a Saturday night. Service was impeccable. Our waiter was very attentive and super nice. Our drinks were amazing. Food was so delicious and fresh. I think we found our new spot. read more

I love coming to this restaurant!! They are so friendly and the service is outstanding and the food comes quickly and it is well served and delicious. The drinks are great! Prices are excellent. read more

I am so sad to see how much people dislike this place. I usually use Yelp to gauge all my eating experiences, but living so close to this place I decided to ignore warnings and try it out. Julia's is simplistic with decorating, but its clean and quiet and I don't go to Mexican joints for their interiors I go for food. I have eaten here three times now and I am impressed with their consistency. I would not describe this as Tex-Mex. Their flavors are unique and lend more to a Cali style Mexican. The charro beans are yummy, and I have ordered them as my meal before. The fajitas have awesome flavoring, my favorite are the Princesa ones with the lemon and cilantro. And wow the veggies cooked along with the meat are so good I have considered just ordering as a vegetarian fajita meal. Service is kind and quick and always aiming to please. So while I am sad people have rated Julia's so poorly I am glad I found this little gem. If you want a loud restaurant who decorates over the top tacky, with the usual greasy Tex-Mex stick with Mi Rancho, I will keep Julia's all to myself. read more

I honestly believe that a good number of bad reviews stem from something not being the way someone had something at another establishment, in another country, or when they had it cooked in their homes as kids. I believe that you have to try the place more than once and try more than one thing. That's just me! This was my take when I read the reviews while in the parking lot of this place. We'd passed this place for weeks and I finally decided that we were going to try it out, this past Sunday. It looked quite clean and there were a fair amount of patrons. I carefully checked the menu for what is in each dish that I might order, because I don't do "guac" and I don't do sour cream (and I don't care that anyone cares that I don't care for them). our waiter came by and he seemed like a cool dude. I ordered a burrito, which came with rice and beans (as stated at the top of the menu page) and kindly asked that no beans be put inside of my burrito and if they could spare me the "guac" and sour cream. There was no mention of them, but MOST Mexican restaurants throw them on the plate somewhere. [NOTE: I HATE IT WHEN RESTAURANTS DO NOT LIST EVERYTHING THAT IS INCLUDED IN A DISH IN THE DESCRIPTION OF SAID DISH!!! IT IS JUST PLAIN IRRESPONSIBLE AND STUPID.] After about 15 minutes the food comes out and there is rice, but in the place where beans are supposed to be (because there are no beans on the plate...does not beans in my burrito mean no beans on my plate?!) there is a chunky cole-slaw concoction bleeding this white liquid under the burrito. (I don't do cole-slaw and it did not list this on the menu.) I asked the server what it was and she explained that it was, indeed, a Latin inspired cole-slaw. The waiter came over and I expressed to him that the menu did not include this in the dish's description and he countered with a very hearty, "Yes, it did." So, I kindly asked him to allow me to reference the menu. He walked over to the front desk and as he was walking back, reading he menu, I could see him whack himself in the head with it. He came over and just said, "You're right, it doesn't say it." He asked if I wanted him to take it back (DUHH!). I asked if he could have the cook make me a new one without the slaw and he proceeded to ask, in a rather crappy tone, "What?! Are you alergic to it?!" I had to hold my composure, as my significant other told him "Yes," in order to get him to just do his freakin' job! Another 15 minutes pass and I get my dish, still with no beans to go with my rice. No use in sparring over some mashed up "free-holies" - Also, the tortilla that made up my burrito did not taste or feel home made, even it it was. It was hard to cut and lacked all the things associated with a home made tortilla. I'll try them again, but on this trip, they get three out of five from me. *Oh, and the salsa is served cold here. Just an FYI from someone who enjoys a warm salsa. The chips take more home made than most places, so that's a plus. read more

We ordered the chicken fajitas and chicken enchiladas; The chicken was tasty but it only comes with onions no green peppers. The rice, pico de gallo and fried beans looked old. The chicken enchiladas with green salsa were delicious so was the Mexican cole slaw that came with the plate. Overall an ok experience not the best not the worst. read more

2 times a Month we order from Julia's as takeout for our family. Always at least $70 each time. Today when our $75 order was picked up it was missing our taco order in the bag. Now we live 15min away from the restaurant so take into consideration the time it took to get there come home and go back. When I arrived the manager was agitated he asked me "what do you want for free?" I just wanted my order but without me telling him what was missing he went back into the kitchen and put the tacos into a bag. THESE TACOS ARE "DEAD". My cousin owns a restaurant he would never serve his customers something that lingered in the window and became soggy and "Dead". This is bad news Julia's you lost a potential life customer. There are 3 popular Mexican restaurants in walking distance of your location. Yours is the "Mom & Pop" of the group and I've always preferred the local businesses over the rest. I don't suspect you are doing as well as you once were considering the new restaurants moving into the area and depleting your customer base so I'm not sure if losing my business is worth it to you or not but it's definitely gone. I will be taking my business to Mi Rancho, Los Cucos, or El Refu from now on. read more

Julia's Mexican Grill - Died in the window and served them anyway! - Mexican Near Me - Humble, Texas

Margaritas are too sweet, queso is greasy. The bartender David is overly physical. Concerning for so many young bus girls.

Disgusting.... Place is a cheap knockoff of a Mexican restaurant. Decor is very texmex and very short of being any kind of authentic. Food was waaaaay overpriced and had no flavor at all. My table way sticky and the service was way past poor. Everything tasted like it was out of can, no homemade tortillas... Right out of a bag. They are building a los cucos in the same area, I really hope they close this sad excuse for a Mexican restaurant down. read more

Julia's Mexican Grill - Cheap looking - Mexican Near Me - Humble, Texas

Unfortunately I had a bad experience here. It started off well since the margs were good, queso and salsa was on point but the service was a bit off. The beans tasted terrible as well as the rice and chicken fajitas. My friend ordered beans as well and had the same complaint. The corn tortillas were delicious but with the food and service being way below average, I had to give it two stars. read more

Ok food here is amazing. Nowhere in the area that I know of serves caldo. So when wife is sick craving caldo (married Mexican) I know where to go. I am not a fan of corn tortillas but these rocked. They were hand made. Honestly I was close to giving 4 stars because our waiter wasn't the best but that was the only bad part of our dining experience and you can't knock a business for one workers bad day. read more

I was skeptical. These suburban 'Mexican' restaurants are usually casa-ole-ish at best. However, Julia's actually tasted good and authentic! Dined here for lunch. $8.95 for a nice portion of fajitas for one. Same price for beef/chicken/combo, which is rare. Came with rice, beans, all the toppings including sour cream and cheese ( most places charge extra) AND tortillas. Excellent meal and sizable portion. Although it was down time, after lunch rush, our server was a little short of attentiveness. All in all tasted great, and I'm sure service is usually better. Will def try again. Drink and entree prices looked very reasonable. read more

Was excited to have a new option on the Fall Creek side of the beltway. Initially tried it the first weekend they were open. Atmosphere The decor is VERY simplistic and has a long way to go...almost like they do not intend to be there long. Hopefully not foreshadowing... Service The waiter was prompt and overall delivered a pleasent dining experience. Food We had mixed fajitas and while the quality of the meat seemed very good and tender booth the chicken and beef was very bland. Overall We have since returned and it appears not much has changed. I have spoken with friends and neighbors who have the same opinions on the food and lack of atmosphere. Could do a great business if someone could get to the owner/manager and provide some constructive criticism. Could be a weekly dining spot but until something changes I will continue to drive further for more flavor and atmosphere. read more
