Wow! First I'd like to start by saying that this has been the BEST customer service I've experienced since being in the city. From the hostess, to the management and any staff member that came by to check on us. The main dining room where we sat was relatively empty, with families coming in and out. The music was at the right volume (very upbeat and energetic), it added to the amazing ambiance and view. The bar area was empty but inviting. For starters, we got the flamed cheese and added chorizo, with flour tortillas! We ended up ordering extra tortillas and the snack was phenomenal. It was a great choice and came out extra hot!!! The entrees were a large serving, I got the Chicken Enchiladas with rice and much sauce. I was full so I was unable to finish the meal but it was prepared well for take-out. The mango and strawberry sweet iced tea were great beverages for this meal. We missed happy hour but we will definitely be back to experience that as well as their Saturday morning brunch!

I decided to go the other day because the happy hour appetizer menu caught my attention. I posted a photo of the menu so you can check it out. Please note: they are always changing this and the food items here are new. I wanted the chicken wings and they were good, crispy, and came with ranch and buffalo sauce. I still want to try the elote and tostadas and dip. I also had lunch, the Flautas Oaxaqueñas with charros beans, they were okay. The chicken is always flavorless and if you get the meat, it will be overcooked. The charro beans were delicious. So they no longer have the chimichangas on the menu, but you can ask for it and they will make it for you. read more

First time at Julio's. I had the chicken enchiladas with mole and I have to say the mole was some of the best I've ever had. Incredible flavor with a hint of sweetness and cinnamon. Super rich and full of flavors that make you close your eyes as you contemplate the dozens of ingredients that went into this culinary explosion. I'd highly recommend Julio's to anyone. They have three locations around El Paso with a diverse menu including tacos, enchiladas, soups, steak, and seafood. Check them out when you are in town. read more

Julio's Mexican Food - Chicken enchiladas with mole - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Great Mexican restaurant. I have also been to the one on the west side. Both are great. But very different. Our waitress tonight was very attentive and accommodating. The live Mexican music was also very nice. The singer has an excellent voice. read more

I love their mole enchiladas imagine my dismay when I was told they ran out of mole. :( I shared nachos with my wife and everyone else placed their orders. My grandson order was brought in approximately 15 minutes however the rest of us (6 people) waited over 45 minutes to receive our order. My shared nachos consisted of a large amount of chips with a dollop of beef thrown in the middle of the chips and cheese poured over the beef ($16.99). No beans! My 9 yr old grandson can make much better. Never again will I visit. read more

Start with ambience, the musician was way too LOUD!!! Small room, microphone and speakers pointing right at our table. We could not talk or hear the waitress. Next service, meal came with salad which we never got, our qso came with corn tortillas, we wanted flour but were never asked and she didnt come back to check on us. My red enchilada, cheese wasnt even melted, cold. Sad really, used to be one of my favorite places to eat, dont think i will be going back. read more

We spent 2 months in El Paso caring for a sick family member and of all of the places we ate at while there, this was the top Mexican food place we had. The food was amazing! They say you eat with your eyes 1st and the presentation did not disappoint!!! It's a clean and inviting place! We were warmly greeted as we walked in the door and they took exceptional care of us throughout the entire meal. This is a definite MUST HAVE AGAIN place to eat! If you haven't been...GO! read more

It took us one hour to get our food. One lady ordered shrimp cocktail. I feel it was her order that held up our food.

1 Star - Disappointing All Around We visited Julio's Mexican Restaurant in Horizon City, and I ordered the Poblano Mole Chicken -- $20 for what turned out to be plain boiled chicken covered in a sauce that looked and tasted awful. It came with a tiny scoop of rice and beans. For the price, I expected much better quality and flavor. There were only six of us at the table, yet the server automatically added an 18% gratuity, which should only apply to parties of eight or more -- and even then, it's usually 15%, not 18%. When we went to pay, they tacked on another 3.5% just for using a credit card. To top it off, they charged for drink refills. Between the nickel-and-diming, mediocre food, and inflated prices, this was one of the least satisfying dining experiences I've had in Horizon. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Food in general my daughter got food poisoning we were not impressed too expensive for the tope of food

One of my all time favorites an El Paso staple always GREAT food and service must go to place, food selection is GREAT and service is always very good read more

The manager there does not take accountability and deducts it from the servers tip. I would like to speak to her boss as she still has not corrected the fees charged to my card. read more

Consistency. This people has been in business since the 1940s. The food is very good. On weekends they have a "Mexican breakfast buffet" with menudo, chilaquiles, enchiladas, barbacoa, chicharrón, etc... delicious. The customer service is good as well. If you need a room for a party, you can reserve a room with a buffet for your guests, convenient. read more

Great spot for authentic Mexican food. Atmosphere is great, service was wonderful, food was yummy and reasonably priced, drinks such as coffee and tea a bit on the high side at almost $4, other than that enjoyed Julio's very much. read more

I'm back, and Julio's is as good as ever! I wanted to write an update so that I could give Kudos to our server Carlos. The man was friendly, happy and it would not have been possible to provide better service. It is awesome to see someone so enjoy their job. Thank you Carlos! Oh and yes, and I did have the Mexican plate. And ask for onions on the Enchiladas and Spanish (Tomato) sauce on the Chile Relleno. They make the best I've ever had! If I had my choice of one meal for the rest of my life, this would be it! read more

One of the best places to eat Mexican food. Try the mole enchiladas which are out of this world

My favorite place to have dinner in El Paso, I come every time we're in El Paso! The Chabela margarita is excellent - the salsas are varying degrees of hot so something for everyone. The street tacos are excellent, my absolute favorite! My husband loves the pork tips, gets them every time. We took both of our babies this time so I ordered them a guacamole and flour tortillas - big hit! read more

I have loved going to Julio's for years! The ambiance is nice and fun. Their chili rellenos is always fantastic as well as their enchiladas, which is why I like to order both of them on a platter. Their drinks are really impressive too read more

I ordered a buffet style meal for coworkers today. It sounds like the food was good, and I received a lot of confirmatory calls ahead of time from Julio's staff, which I appreciated, but they forgot the all-important TORTILLAS for the fajitas. They were quick to bring them, but since we were hosting another group, it was an embarrassing point to be without tortillas for the first 20 minutes of lunch. Still willing to try it again! read more

Used to be good, but cooking quality has declined. Other locations are better. Frozen chimichangas, talpeno soup with no flavor, are examples of the decline. Other locations don't have this issue. read more

It's been years since I've been to Julio's. Visiting my family from El Paso they wanted to eat here so we all hopped in the car and came. They had a small buffet was that was pretty good. The had a spread of breakfast and lunch at the time we'd gone. The food was pretty good. They had enchiladas, eggs with chorizo, pancakes, mole, menudo, fruit, even cereal. The only thing I didn't like was it was all self serving so you basically served yourself. There was a woman standing behind the buffet table and as I was getting myself some menudo, she grabbed the ladle rudely and said "let me help you" and grabbed my bowl and started pouring the menudo overflowing the bowl with kind of irked me cuz I didn't want that much. Other than that the rest of the staff were friendly and we had a good brunch overall. read more

We actually came across Julio's while looking for a piña colada in El Paso, and I am so glad we decided to stay for dinner! I started with a piña colada (of course), which turned out to be perfectly creamy & delicious. We will for sure be back for another one. The waiter brought out chips & salsa which is always a huge plus. For my entree I ordered the beef enchiladas with green sauce and really enjoyed it. I felt like the beef itself was about average but loved the green sauce on top. My boyfriend ordered the beef fajita tacos, which I also tried. I thought the beef in these was very tasty and well-seasoned, but we wished there was a bit more meat in each taco. The prices here were super reasonable and our waiter was very friendly. I recommend trying Julio's if you haven't already! read more

Great food Great service Folks were awesome Had the combination plate. I highly recommend it. Others had the margaritas and raved about them. read more

The tacos were very greasy, so I didn't enjoy them at all. They're one of the few things on the menu that might be gluten free. I was very disappointed that a popular El Paso restaurant had such marginal food and almost no gluten free options. read more

Great time! We came during lunch and were able to be seated right away (group of 10). The ambiance was great and the staff was awesome. The salsa was perfect!! (Not spicy). All of our food came out quick and was hot. I personally had the cheese red enchiladas and they were perfect Zero complaints! Deff will be back! read more

This is in El Paso institution! And a favorite spot whenever I'm in town visiting family. The food is delicious and the staff is attentive but not overbearing. I ordered the Julio special which is includes a sample of the popular or main entrées. The plate arrives piping hot, the portions are plentiful and the price is right. Julio's is my go to place for good Mexican food excellent for family gathering. read more

Julio's Mexican Food - Julio's Special - a sampler of key entrees - taco, enchilada, Chile relleno, rice, guacamole and refried beans. - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

This review is for Eastlake. Negative word of mouth but gave them a try. Regret it! Food was not edible, missing items, and guacamole for flautas was brown. Food does not have flavor or spice. Disappointed. Other locations are great but despite the beautiful location, this site is not good. read more

The service was poor and they dropped my enchiladas in front of me Never coming here again read more

This place has been there for us for great take out during this covid season. This well we tried dine in. The food was good, especially the tortilla soup!! The Mexican plate was tasty. The quesadillas aren't anything special, but they are hot and fresh. The service was fair even though the dining room was very slow, due to social distancing. I am so pleased they were open and ready to serve us. If you aren't ready to dine in, try their take out, they meet you at your car! read more

Julio's Mexican Food - Tortilla soup and quesadillas - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Amazing, legendary food, ambiance, and service! I had the Mexican plate and it was fabulous! Many typical Mexican plates do not come with a heaping spoonful of guacamole, but this one does and it was superb! The manager came by to check on us and the waiter was an old PRO, Mario, our favorite waiter! I noticed that the managers are going around checking on diners more often to make sure everything is good, and that is wonderful, I love it! The tostadas were better than ever before, and the salsa at the table was fresh and so delicious! This iconic and legendary restaurant is always a joy to visit! read more

Nice family place, servers were very nice, good ambiance, quiet and pleasant. Food came out hot, Mexican plate had a generous scoop of guacamole, good salsa. Regular margarita also generous and tasty although not strong if that's your goal. Food was good, I didn't care for the enchilada sauce but my husband loved it, I thought the chile relleno was soggy and the breading flat from sitting too long but my husband loved it because it and his whole meal wasn't spicy. I like spicy and fresh made, but my expectations are always low for chile rellenos, as they're trouble to make. All in all, good food, prices decent, nice place with friendly staff, clean restrooms and that always makes me feel the restaurant is cared for. I'd return here. read more

This place used to be amazing. They have updated the look it's very nice. But the food!! Yuck!! Lemonada was so tart!! I ordered their nachos, no jalapeños, the sour cream looked like cottage cheese, the beans had no flavor and they were loaded with beans. No chips. My hubby had the costillas, the meat was greasy. I never got a refill on my water. I gotta say I was so disappointed. Will not go again. Better off at the lunch box. read more

I'd been here before once and was very impressed, today was mediocre to say the least. Ordered Tlalpeño cup of soup and it was good in flavor but was warm not hot, I personally like soup hot. Additionally the cup of soup for $4+ is quite steep for the size of the cup of soup. Ordered flautas ( I was able to do 1/2 norteñas and 1/2 oaxaca) I'm glad I was able to do both at no extra charge. The green chicken enchiladas were not impressive whatsoever, their menu says this is their best selling dish and I'm wondering why?! The shrimp cocktail was nothing to rave about, I've had and seen better cocktails in town and definitely wouldn't order personally. Their horchata tastes from a packet there is no creamy rich flavor present and zero cinnamon. I can't imagine it's freshly made. However their limonada mineral is superb!!! I was very disappointed with the check and their mess of explaining and leaving the customer still responsible. Let me explain... We wanted to swap beans for fries on the enchilada plate, we were still charged for a side of fries $3.00. Additionally the shrimp cocktail comes with a soup or salad - our server told us the Tlalpeño soup could be used as the soup, never did he say it came with an up charge of $2.00. Mind you none of this was disclosed while ordering but rather at the end, the menu also doesn't reflect this. These "surprises" is what turns me away from restaurants, it's bad practice in my opinion. Train your staff or disclose on your menu...or both! Server said the manager the charges were correct, and I'm sure they were they were just never disclosed to where the customer can opt for something else. I brought my cousin since he'd never come here before, he said that he wouldn't come back and after this experience, neither would I. read more

Julio's is on the El Paso margarita trail so it is a must stop for anyone visiting or being visited. Our group of four stopped in to check out the drinks and a few appetizers. We were not disappointed. We enjoyed the house nachos with sauce washed down with margaritas. The menu was real Mexican although we did not stay for dinner. Service at the bar was superb and our drinks delicious. read more
