I love Julios too!!!!!! The best mexican food around. Free chips and salsa and the Chicken Mini Chimis are to die for. Definitely a must if you haven't tried it. P.s. writing a bad review about the restaurant for being a dumbass and parking in the parking lot to go out clubbing, resulting in getting towed, isn't the restaurants fault. Follow the parking rules!! read more

Very good service ! The guys were awesome very patient & recommended a few of their fav items Free chips & salsa is always a bonus. $2.50 all day happy hour margaritas is a nice touch. The mild salsa is tasty but the hot is a little to hot and bland I mixed the two and it was just right. I'll be back read more

Always have enjoyed my meals and service here. Nothing to rant or rave about but everything is pretty on point at this Mexican restaurant. Pros - Decent food - Quick service - Good portions - Free chips and salsa Cons - Not the greatest customer service - Crowded inside seating read more

I was waiting in a long line for a concert and was feeling antsy. I wandered into Julio's Too looking for a bathroom, but I was distracted by all the delicious smells. I couldn't resist so I ordered one soft beef taco. It was only $3 and they also gave me a free bag of fresh piping hot chips and asked me what type of salsa I wanted. They loaded my bag with 3 cups of mild salsa, chips, and the beef taco. I lived in San Diego for 4 years and found the quality to be pretty authentic. It also helped make the line go faster as I munched away on my feastings. read more

I was bummed when they closed the original Julio's on Indian School. Anyway, I finally went in here recently to discover it's not just take out - they actually have tables and lower prices - awesome Mexican food! read more

I was mildly okay with Julios because it was cheap and it never made extravagant claims to being very good. It's greasy, overly-cheesed "Mexican" food that's bad for you. Sometimes that's what you want... the large, lousy portions for not much money with shredded bits of iceberg lettuce. Make no mistake, it's not good, but sometimes we all have our guilty pleasures and sub-adequate Mexican food happens to be one of mine sometimes--usually when I'm hungover or something. Last time I went there, I popped open a little salsa container for the chips and, Jesus Christ, it was a solidified gelatinous cube. It wasn't frozen, either. It was gelatin. It was this... ugh. It was denser than Jell-O, too, you could slice it with a plastic knife and it would continue standing on its own. And that's when I realized that what I was eating wasn't just bad food that's fun to treat yourself too every couple of months or a few times a year, I was eating a pile of failure. The novelty was gone. It's all fun and games until you see that salsa. It's like having fun drinking in a dirty dive bar, then you fall down on a pile of broken glass. The fun's over... clean up the glass, guys. Start making fucking salsa in a food processor and take some goddamn pride in what you do. read more

The food is GREAT, in my experience. I'm sure, you'll agree, that FOUL MOUTHED ..... reviewer Collin S. .......IS A WANNABE RAPER. Checkout the Language in this review, and all of his reviews. Glad your wheels were towed. read more

All time favorite Mexican restaurant. I can't believe I have never reviewed it. I've even hooked all my co-workers on the place, not to mention many friends. Everything here is pretty fantastic. My favorites are the beef tacos, Mexican pizza with machacha beef, pollo magnifico, enchiladas, mini chimis, spinach queso. The list goes on and on. And the staff there is amazing. I've rarely had items missing from my orders because they go to such great lengths to make sure it's right. There is no where in the area that does Mexican the way they do Mexican. It's why they are the best and everyone loves them. read more

Great selection, portion size and price. And the food can't be beat. This place's heritage is the original Garcia's, then the large Julio's on Indian School and now just Julio's Too. We have enjoyed their food for over 30 years. read more

I ask what there isn't to like about this particular Julio's Too? For my entire adolescence I searched and searched for a tex-mex style restaurant in my hometown area... but alas found nothing. It wasn't until aught nine that I discovered this magnificent shrine to tasteful eats. Family owned and operated, Julio's provides a warm and friendly environment for the casual diner. The menu is simple yet diverse with plate combinations and creations that are not so easy to find in the sonoran style valley. Looking for recommendation? Try the Green Chile Relleno plate with a side of love from full timer Steve Rosa. Want a burrito, well they come in size BIG at Julio's and full of all kinds of fresh ingredients. Need I mention how delicious the FREE chips and salsa are with every meal purchased? And with a handful of good friends the restaurant can quickly turn into a wonderfully amusing adventure into the land great food. All in all, I highly recommend stopping by and not just getting a meal, but maybe making a friend or two at the four stool bar section... I know I have! xo, Josie read more

I have been going here to eat since the late 90's. It is a great family restaurant. Not much has changed in there since the 90's, but the food is consistent and the staff is friendly. read more

I've been looking for a casual, but quality Mexican food restaurant to order takeout from that is as good as the Carambas I used to live by. And I think I found it! The other night, we ordered dinner to go from here and I was pleasantly surprised. The Mini Chimis with Jalapeno cream cheese were just what I was hoping for. Can't wait to try more things here! read more

How is it that I am the first to review this place? It is a classic, and it is always busy! Go figure? Julio's Too is the take-out version of it's big brother Julio G's, the menus are the same but the prices are sure not! Julio's Too is very reasonably priced, and offers the same quality of food as the main restaurant. The lunch specials are amazing, with most being around just $6.00!! They too have my beloved Jalapeno Cream Cheese, and I usually end up ordering a half-pint to take home with me. I love the flautas, green chile burritos, shredded beef tacos and the mini chimis. Their salsa is very addicting, I just wish that they gave you more with your take-out order. The only flaw I find with Julio's Too is the beans. I am a bean connoisseur, and their beans just do not quite stack up to the others out there. They are just lacking that special something. When I have a craving for Mexican food, I usually lean towards Julio's because it is close to home, fast and cheap, but sometimes when I am really in the mood for some good beans, I have to go somewhere else with better beans! But even with the questionable beans, I am still there quite frequently. read more

I'm from Texas, so I'm used to Tex-Mex, and this was a little different, mostly in a good way. I had a combo to try some different things. 1) Beef taco - fantastic, the taco shell was fresh and the beef was delicious 2) Red beef tamale - the biggest tamale I have ever seen. Maybe too big, as the beef flavor was lost 3) Bean burrito - fairly plain, beans and some cheese in a tortilla, no sauce or anything. The rice and beans were good, and the side of guac I got tasted just like I make at home, so I was happy with it. The margarita was also decent, nothing fancy but tasty and with a salted cup - not frozen junk out of a machine, but freshly made. Unfortunately the salsa didn't impress me, but I think that is because I'm used to a thicker salsa. It was runny with some chili seeds that gave a little kick, but not a lot of flavor. I'd go back though, I think I'd try a chimi or more tacos next time. read more

Omg. Thee best Mexican food I've had since I've been here. So glad we stopped in. HUGE portions I was so sad to let it go.. very friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. I'm just ecstatic.. again, I'm so glad we came here. read more

Julio's Too - Steak Fajita Salad, Mini Chimichangas - Mexican Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Best green corn tamales around. Great for takeout - small indoor and patio seating for dining in. Super casual ambiance, fantastic lunch specials, extremely good food and beyond reasonable prices. Fresh hot chips are always included with your order and beer/margaritas are available here as well. I understand they do a large amount of catering and have always wowed customers with exceptional service. This location had been in the heart of Old Town for as long as I can recall and I've never been disappointed. A must for anyone in the area. read more

Yummy, yummy, yummy! I had crispy, greasy, packed with meat tacos just like I like `em. The beans and rice were great and the chips are the thinnest, most crispy delights I've had in a long time! The staff was super nice too. This place is super casual and good. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite - wanted some crispy shredded beef tacos. Something simple. This place is super simple. It's what you think of when you think quick and cheap Mexican food. It's not going to knock your socks off but it will satisfy your craving. Also they have great drink prices. They even have white claws. read more

Lately they have really been falling apart. My office is around the corner, so I used to order from Julio's once a week. The food was always tasty and fresh. But now there is a new manager, he is rude, never smiles, never looks you in the eye and the food has really gone down hill. My last lunch actually gave me the runs. Too bad, now I have to find another place for my Mexican lunches. read more

This is one of those places where you go by default. It's late. Or it's lunch. Nothing is nearby. Very few things are open. Julio's is right there. It's cheap. Why the hell not? This place is pretty damn solid. It's unhealthy. It's delicious. It's the perfect "after party" food. Catch my drift? Service can be a little slow, but whatevs. read more

Food was ok, nothing really exciting about this place. The local neighbors seem to really like it. It wasn't authentic enough like it seemed. Prices were great just not impressed with the food. read more

Wow! What a gem! So glad I found it. Incredible service and the lunch specials are easily 2 meals. Chips and salsa were great and the value is second to none. I'll be back. read more

I've been an on and off patron of this establishment for a few years now. It became a family tradition to order take-out for get togethers. Never eaten at this location, just take-out. I usually stuck with a beef chimi and was pretty satisfied. It comes with rice and beans, plus you get the chips and salsa, so I feel that the price is a fairly decent value. This past week we went on a Julio's kick so I tried something new. First, the green chili pork chimi. Yum! Instantly replaced the beef in my mind. Tonight, I tried the pollo magnifico.... Wow. How did I never look at this section on the menu? Loved it. Basically a fundido chimi, lives up to its name! Also, the nachos supreme were quite yummy but got pretty soggy in the take-out container. read more

I can confidently say that you can ignore every review about Julio's Too that isn't 5 stars. We got the spinach con queso and mini chimichangas as an appetizer to start based on reviews. They were delicious and I couldn't finish my meal because I couldn't stop eating the apps. This in no way takes away from how good my main meal was - I got the seafood enchiladas and they were incredible. Overall one of the best Mexican places in Scottsdale and we'll definitely be back. read more

This place fails. Just totally fails. I was forced to eat here one night even though all I wanted was a delicious burrito from one of the -erto's, Betos, or Fiesta Burrito. But no, I was coerced into coming here because they're "open late" and my friend swore up down and backwards that it was "amazing". I really should have known better because her favorite Mexican place is Arriba-really?! I feel bad for her, because there's so much great Mexican food in this town! OK, so they decided to extend their hours, but you know what? THEY CUT THEIR MENU TO FIVE ITEMS AFTER 1 AM! Not cool. Pro: The golf cart that drove us here from Dos Gringos...apparently it's a club shuttle, but has "Julio's Too" written all over it, and the guy driving it said he's work for them for 10 years and that the owner of the golf shuttle also owns Julio's Too. This driver claimed everything here was "delicious" but couldn't be specific about any item. Hmmmm, I wonder if that's because... Con: THE FOOD SUCKED. It was just plain bad. I mean, I eat from some grimy burrito places, and their food is AMAZING compared to the stuff they're passing off as food here. Maybe it's because we went late, but either way I decided to play it safe and order a bean and cheese burrito that I could barely eat five bites of before completely giving up on it. Others in my party ordered the carne asada burrito (oh, I should mention that I was the only sober one here-everyone in my party was absolutely sloshed), and most of them ate all of it, but later told me how bad it was and what a bad idea it was to eat it. They said they would have much rather gone to a good place (which I agreed with!), and collectively we all agreed never to come here again. Next time you see the Julio's Too shuttle driver pass by, ask him for a ride to the nearest GOOD Mexican place! Or even the philly cheesesteak place near the bars which is decent. Just stay away from this place. read more

Last time I was in Scottsdale was December and I really didn't have a chance to try a good local spot. This time I made sure to do just that. Based solely on Yelp reviewers we decided to try this place. Even though its a mexican eatery, something about it seemed different. It was. I had the Lunch Pollo Magnifico that was recommended by the nice lady taking orders. I was hesitant because of the jalapeño sour cream they put on it. I was wrong and that ended up being the piece that brought everything together. This fried burrito was amazing! I'm normally not a fan of chicken in burritos because it always seems dry to me. Not here. The chicken was seasoned and very tender. If you are in the area and you are able to find a parking spot in their tiny lot, I would recommend stopping here. One star removed due to the mild salsa tasting like it came from a jar (not from new york city...) read more

On a temporary job in old town Scottsdale and cannot stop eating here for lunch. Everything I've tried is awesome!! Plus they have $2.50 margaritas all day!! As long as I don't have to get back to work. This is a must if your in old town. read more

Thanks, Yelpers, for reaquainting me with this establishment.! This is really good TexMex, very inexpensive, and you get tons of food for very little money. I had the 2 item combo with a shredded beef taco (big, wonderful and filling) but didn't stop there, and ate the beef burrito too (oink, I am) ...and I managed to consume enough rice and beans and chips to blow myself into the next county (ok, I'll stop there)... Good food, great prices, and it's casual and quick. Loved it! read more

This is our go to lunch spot when I visit my sister. It is one of the best fast mexican food places around. They have great salsa, queso, and chips. Try: - Queso - Spinach Enchiladas - Tacos The inside is kinda small but they have a good sized patio to sit outside. read more

Went here because of the "shop small" AmEx event. I love texmex food so I have been curious, but I don't think I will be back. Texmex is greasy, but when you eat part of your food and the one inch void in the container is filled with a clear liquid (oil) you lose your appetite. Besides the food seemed like one step above Mexican day at school. The snowbirds seem to love this place, but there are other options that involve less of a wait and less lubricant. read more

Good, close to work, and cheap! I'd recommend if you're in the area for a quick lunch. It's tight quarters inside the restaurant so I find takeout to be the best (work is close so it's easy to eat in the office). Overall, I'd definitely recommend. I've only ordered lunch which is very reasonably priced and very, very filling! read more

Julio's is my go to place for Mexican when I'm Scottsdale. I've never had any issues but the past 2 times I've called in an order and told the time it would be ready it's been a horrible experience. The 1st we had to wait at least 30 minutes past the pick up time and was late getting back to work. Today we waited at least 15 minutes past the pick up time. When speaking to the staff we were degraded and told to call earlier next time. Thing is we did!! Our pick up time was WAY before any lunch rush. The staff didn't seem to give a $&/! that we waited for our food long after it was due. We don't think it was even started until after we showed up. Even tho their food is excellent, I'm not sure if I will come back. read more

Seems a bit overhyped in this bar filled neighborhood. Perhaps the constant infusion of alcohol in the patrons helps skew the ratings? Not sure... In any case everything we tried here was over fried and just tasted like fryer oil with indistinct flavored fillings. The tamals were covered with a pound of melted cheddar but were extremely dry, sweet and with little filling to be found. Not really worth the time. read more

Gross. The spanish rice is gross - bland with what appears to be canned mixed vegetables in it. The ground beef in their beef taco salad is like finally ground cat meat = low quality. Just low quality food that most white people, who are none the wiser as to what comprises good Mexican/Tex Mex food, will eat. Today I found bug legs in my salad lettuce...later after I had left the restaurant and was munching on leftovers. Prices are reasonable and food is served quickly. The tall dark stocky dude that is always in there when I come in on weekdays during is not personable and kind of a an ass. read more

I'm not sure why this place doesn't have 5 stars???!!! The Mini Chimis are wonderful with the cream cheese Jalapeno dip. Tacos are always right on. And who can resist the $2.50 Margaritas??? Staff is always helpful. Only thing I would change is the staff should check on you if you need more chips and salsa :) read more

This place is great! Couldn't believe the amount of food for the price. The green chili pork was amazing and the fajita burrito was bomb. Wish I lived closer so I could come more often. I will probably be back in the morning for a breakfast burrito! read more

Me and my man went in after we rented this place across the street and as soon as we walked in it was like walking into a Mexican market/restaurant and we talked to the guy at the counter for a few about the history of the place and told us what was good on the menu. When we dove into our food we were thinking this is real authentic Mexican food, it was so good! It also was pretty cheap for the quality. Would definitely recommend. read more
