Worst Mexican I've had in a long time. Staff was ok and food was below average and it was very noisy. I think my kids were the loudest though. However, we had a good time ate what we were served and left. read more

Great place! We stopped for lunch while driving through the area. Very warm and welcoming. The chips were hot and fresh. The chicken tamale was really good--came with a flavorful Chile sauce and melted cheese on top. Chicken soft taco and fajitas were also meaty and nice. It was a very comfortable and enjoyable place. read more

This restaurant was great! We thought the food was excellent and can't wait to return to try out some more menu items. Since New Kent county has a shortage of restaurants, this restaurant was a surprise and a great find. Highly recommend this place ! read more

This is not real Mexican food. If you want extremely generic food containing flavorless rice, beans, meat and cheese this is the place for you. The service was shoddy at best. read more

Worst food and service I've ever experienced, waited 45 minutes to get out check after asking several waiters ...

We were here Sat., 05-10-2014, My family loves Mexican food and we live in New Kent so we finally decided to try this restaurant, Service was very slow, we were never asked if we needed anything or is everything okay or even "How was everything" on the way out as we paid. We had to track our server down every time we needed a refill or anything.. The food was just average. Unfortunately this will be our first and our last visit. read more

Stopped in after work, on a Friday, had the chicken 57. Great food, good atmosphere and outstanding wait staff. Reasonable prices too! Added benefit it's right next to the ABC store! read more

My wife loves Mexican food. There are several restaurants around the east end of richmond we used to visit with one in particular being her favorite. Even after moving 35 minutes from that area, we would still drive there because no other place in the area was as good. Once the TexMex restaurant previoulsly at this location became Julio's, we were done making those trips. Food is always good, never have a long wait, and its much closer than driving to Richmond from Charles City County. I recommend the Burrito Julio's. You'll have dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow. read more

The food is great and service is good. It's nice to have a good Mexican restaurant here in New Kent. The Taco Tuesday special is nice too, it's $1 hard tacos all day every Tuesday. read more

Have been to this restaurant now a handful of times. Food is consistently good and so is the service. This is now our "go-to" for Mexican food on this side of town. Prices are what you'd expect. The only downside is the parking lot, which can be hard to maneuver when it's crowded. read more

A nice surprise! Great food, pleasant surroundings, excellent service, reasonable prices. We enjoyed the beef chimichangas and fajitas texanas. Large portions, very tasty! Will certainly be back to try more items on the large menu. read more

I actually believe this business should get negative stars for the service that I just received last evening. We took the exit off of 64, to go to Bojangles. The sign coming off of 64 had us going the wrong way. So, we looked and saw Julio's. We are big fans of Mexican, so we said let's give it a try. When we got there, we were seated right away. It took them about 7-8 minutes before a young guy brought a basket of chips, salsa, and white sauce. The white sauce was so watered down that it tasted nasty. Finally, about 5 minutes after the chips arrived, the waittress showed up. She had been back at the kitchen area talking with the other waitresses and kitchen staff. We asked for our drinks, ordered dinner and 4-5 minutes later, she brought the drinks. I told her that the white sauce tasted like it was watered down and and that it was horrible. She said, "well, they just pour it out of a big jug in the kitchen". I sort of expected to hear something like, "I will advise the manager", or "would you like to speak to the manager". I asked her to bring some cheese sauce instead. She brought the cheese sauce back in a moment. When she brought the cheese sauce, we asked for silverware and napkins (never brought before then). She said, "oh yeah, I'll be right back". The cheese sauce was so runny, that it wouldn't stick to the chips. It just ran right off. Of course, she didn't bring the silverware back right away, so no napkins to wipe our mouths with. She was, once again, standing back at the kitchen talking to the other restaurant associates. So, when they started to bring out the dinners, she stopped half way through the restaurant and went back towards the kitchen to get our silverware and napkins. I told her that she should really "wait" on her customers instead of standing back at the kitchen talking to her friends. I also told her about the cheese dip. She said, "Oh well". I asked to speak to someone. She sent the maitre de over to the table. I asked if he was the manager. He said that his brother was the manager. He asked me what the problem was. I started to tell hiim about the white sauce that we had earlier. He pointed out that there was cheese sauce on the table. I said, "yes, I'm talking about the white sauce that we had "earlier". He again said, "do you mean the cheese sauce?" I then asked to speak to his brother, the manager. He then told me that he wasn't there. He said that he could be there in about 30 minutes, if I wanted to wait. I asked to speak to the manager on duty. He told me that was his mother, but I can only speak to her if I could speak Spanish, because she doesn't speak English. I told him that obviously, he didn't understand English either. He may speak it, but that sure as hell doesn't mean that he understands. I also pointed out that the cheese sauce was watered down also. He said, "it's supposed to be like that". 54 years old and I've eaten in hundreds of Mexican restaurants. Sure, when it first comes out, it is a little thin, but typically it thickens within a few minutes. This was 5-6 minutes later and it was still water and getting cold. I couldn't take it anymore. I just got up and left. Worst, worst, worst service and white sauce and cheese sauce ever in any Mexican restaurant that I've ever been in. I should have seen the signs. When we pulled up, there weren't many cars in the parking lot. Now, I know why. Save yourself from this place. Horrible service. We found Bojangles and had a decent dinner, after all. read more

The food is always pretty good at Julio's but the service is HORRIBLE!! I live 2 miles from the restaurant and choose to drive 10 miles in the opposite direction for Mexican food because the people are SO rude at Julio's!! read more

Food was ice...not luke warm..ice..order was 1/2 right....never again...even Ray Charles could tell difference between chicken and beef...save your $$$ read more

Service friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was cheery. The lunch menu was blander than a typical Mexican restaurant.

We were on a road trip with a dog and baby, so we needed a place we could sit outside with the dog. We found this place which has a small patio, and I am glad we did! Wait staff was friendly and attentive. The lunch menu was a very good value. I got the carnitas plate which were actually some of the best I've had, and I eat alot of Mexican. We will definitely stop here again next time we are passing through! read more

The food was not the best. The people that worked there was not so friendly. I even got sick after eating there.

Chicken dish was so dry could beat. Checked on plate showed woman at counter could not even tear it apart . Pork shops so over cooked and dry . Waiter not very. Attentive read more

Here we are at Julios and the service is just like it always is....poor poor poor. We eat here often because the food is decent and we live close but everytime we come here the service is terrible. Tonight we stood at the hosted desk forever before anyone would seat us. Then we were seated and after ten minutes our drink order was finally taken. When I advised the server we had been seated for ten minutes she stated "that's because the restaurant is full" I stated it is not full as there are more empty seats then full seats. There are currently 8 tables seated!! She offered no apology for the wait just some lame excuse that wasn't even accurate. Like I said earlier this is typical of Julios. I will echo an earlier review and agree that the hand painted chairs are beautiful after all there are currently plenty of empty ones for me to admire. read more

My wife and I live in New Kent and were glad to see a Mexican "joint" replace the previous failure in same location. We have been quite a few times and overall our experiences have been enjoyable. If you do go be sure and grab a punch card that will get you a free dinner after several visits! Also, if you like salsa with a kick ask for some of the "spicy" version! read more

I live in the county and have seen this place change hands and change names too many times to count. However this latest incarnation seems to be the best thus far. Don't let the neon orange exterior scare you, the food is absolutely wonderful! I love the vegetarian fajitas as it includes broccoli and squash along with your typical onion,peppers,and mushrooms. We stopped in for Taco Tuesday last night and were treated to fresh beef tacos that were perfectly seasoned and so tasty. I will continue to sing the praises for this restaurant in hopes that they stay around! read more
