Beef Fajitas for One - Served with rice, beans, and Flour Tortillas - 3ct.
Sharonda D.

Great service once again. You can't go wrong at this establishment. It's fun and exciting and the food is always served sizzling hot! Special thanks to our server Eddie for going above and beyond to make sure my family and I were comfortable, happy, and satisfied! He was down-to-earth, funny, and very professional. The place was surprisingly not crowded when we arrived on a Saturday evening around 5:00 pm. We were a party of six, there was no wait time, and we were seated right away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The hostess was friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere was calm and chill which is uncommon for this restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Maybe the weather scared a lot of people from being out and about because it was pretty dead inside. However, towards the end of our visit, loads of other guests began to slowly fill up the place. Overall, my family and I enjoyed our visit to the fullest. The food is good and enjoyable. It's not overly amazing or anything, but it's definitely good enough to enjoy. The customer service is always on point, the servers are always friendly and welcoming but Eddie is the best server by far. From my experience with him, it's easy to see that he knows what he's doing. He never missed a beat making sure we had everything we needed, making light conversations with us, checking on us periodically, and even offering to take a few group photos of our group. I highly recommend this establishment for anyone who enjoys delicious Mexican food and Margaritas. There's plenty of parking but can get overcrowded at times. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining area has two parts with one being the main dining area near the entrance and the other part is on the other side of the main dining area separated by a wall. This area is sometimes reserved for private parties which can make the seat availability limited.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, there's also outside dining which is nice for good weather days.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Chili Relleno
Mike C.

I was originally driving to the area for BBQ but when I arrived the place was closed. Oh well I went to Yelp to see what is close by and found Julio's. I remember I dined there years ago but really couldn't remember much about the food but since BBQ was off the table I thought dome Tex Mex sounded good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a very beautiful fall day so I opted to sit on the huge covered patio as did most everyone else dinning there that day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My server was friendly and attentive. They brought two salsas out, a green salsa and what seemed to be a roasted red salsa. The green was very good but the red had a strange flavor that I just couldn't figure out. I stuck with the green. I ordered the Chili Relleno with ground beef from the lunch menu, it came with guacamole, a queso puff and rice and beans...$13.99. It was all very good and I would definitely order it again. I do look forward to returning to try the fajitas. If your up in that are pay them a visit.

The food was so good and authentic. Service was great. Food came out from the kitchen quick and everything was piping hot. Our server was very attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside on the patio and we loved it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They even have a little play area for the kids.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So that's always a plus. Our kids loved the food.

The food was amazing and the service was excellent and quick! Drinks were refilled without asking. The red salsa was served warm and had a fantastic flavor. The green salsa was also very delicious with just enough spice. Highly recommend! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great lunch and not too crowded or too pricey.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Large portions with plenty left over to take home. We will definitely be back!!

We're new to the area and keep trying different places. Martha's had our business tonight,…read moreespecially because we needed an outdoor heated patio to enjoy with our dog, Sadie. :) Service was great. Very friendly! Margaritas were large, but using Grand Marnier (instead of Cointreau) made them a little sweet for my taste. My chicken was grilled but a little overcooked. Still, it was pretty good tasting. Hubby's Tacos al Carbon was delicious. Great marinade! Tip: If you like mole, but don't want enchiladas, just ask them to sub Mole for the sauce on any of the chicken plates. I had a side and it was delicious! If I could give it 3.5 stars, I would. For the most part, it met my expectations, just a few things keep me from giving them 4. But - we will be back. :)

Place comes with complimentary chips and hot sauce. I got the small con queso, and the cheese was really good, it was a little watery, but it was still really good. I ordered the pollo del monte, and I must say, this was really good. The chicken breast was nice and thick! This comes with charro beans, which I was shocked how good they were. I was able to eat them straight from the dish. The staff was very polite and always checking on me at the table. I wish they had horchata available, but they don't. I'd come back and try out their fajitas next time!

We were immediately greeted by Koya, our server, who was in training - took our drinks and meal orders. He was soon accompanied by Jolie who was watching and mentoring him. Wonderful of management to provide that support to newbies! Both had a great personality - truly enjoyed visiting with them and particularly spending quite a bit of time with Jolie, who was very solicitous and eager to please - she and Koya came by regularly to check on us, a very homey touch! Jolie is a people-person for sure! Ordered Sangria/Marg, La Granada, and Mango-Tango - drinks arrived promptly and were great - very good value for money! Food consisting of Mazatlan Plate Combo Fajitas (Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp, beef, chicken, ribs, sausage, and usual sides), and Veggie Los Cabos (Stuffed Green Pepper with Cheese Enchilada, Poblano Cream, Avocado, Pico de Gallo) arrived quickly. Ordered the Street Taco Sauce as well to go with the complimentary Chips and Salsa - house salsas were on point, but the Street Taco Sauce kicked the experience up a good notch - spicy but not overwhelmingly so! Good stuff - chips were not at all greasy. The food was flavorful and Fajitas for one were more than sufficient for two. Overall cost was $90 (3 persons) including cost of the Street Taco Sauce, Fresh Jalapeños, 18% tip and taxes. The best part of the visit was the hospitable service and friendly engagements with Jolie and Kayo. Barring a couple of missteps (including a wrong order keyed in and charged on the bill), which were immediately corrected, the overall experience was great. Definitely planning a return visit!

Service was fantastic/friendly, with the owner and server stopping by frequently to check on us or just have a friendly chat.

Sizzling, flavorful, tender meat, fantastic blistered Jalapeños (Toreados), and grilled onions, served with four tortillas. Quantities were ample and the complimentary chips, Salsa (2 kinds), and Queso (2 kinds) were warm and tasty! The whole meal set us back $82, including taxes and tip.

The man runs his restaurant with heart, hustle, and pure passion. Every detail -- from the way the margaritas are mixed to how the seafood is seasoned -- carries his touch. We had the crab legs, shrimp boil, potatoes, and corn, and wow... flavor on another level. And those margaritas?
