    Welcoming service, excellent food and margaritas, welcomed the dog on the patio. Great people watching. Awesome noisy trains :)

    Casa de Julia is a Mexican restaurant with a bar for watching sporting events. Like most Mexican restaurants in the area, English is a bit limited here. I ordered to go and got the fish taco, lengua taco, and al pastor tostada. The fish taco was huge! However the taste was average. I enjoyed the lengua taco which tastes great with a little bit of the hot green sauce. The tostada was average.

    Soo... this is called the house of Julia really nice back story and whatnot. The restaurant itself is really cute and has a really pretty theme going on. :( I love my Mexican food but I didn't understand how this restaurant is so "welcoming" and they do the complete opposite. The food was mid. It was good but nothing that I'll crave again from here and miss except the Flan it was really good and fluffy. I also asked for no jalapeños on the nachos and they put hella of them. If it was packed it would have been understandable because I know the cooks have a lot of pressure but like it wasn't. I did like that they give you chicharrones instead of nachos. That is so cute, fresh and delicious and then with the Valentina uff. The waitress was nice she is new and just started working there not long. However, I did not feel comfortable as she was just looking at us eat and made me feel like they put something in my food or something. Like when Mr. Krabs & SpongeBob gave the "health inspector" that patty iykyk. The bill came (not cheap cuz everyone knows Mexican food is not cheap) and then the waitress comes and tells us we can't have outside drinks and that each water we bought has a $2.00 fee. We were like the only family and then 2 couples. I will not accept that they couldn't tell us before and we could have easily left or bought water from there. This has never happened and we eat out ALL the time. Anyways we asked to speak to the manager and basically the owner came and he said that the waitress is new so it was a mistake she didn't tell us before. Well if this was my restaurant and I had that policy I would set the waitress aside and tell her kindly that outside drinks are not permitted and there is a fee for EVERY bottle. And then I would tell her to remind the customers and that this was on the restaurant's part and that next time this happens there will be a charge. Unfortunately and gladly this is not my restaurant and the owner expected us to pay. While he was b***tching about this there was a drunk guy and he was hella wasted and was trying to pull the juice machine and it was almost going to fall I told the owner like umm hello the machine and he quickly went and stopped him. In the end we did not pay the fee and he was pretty cool and chill I just don't appreciate that type of service at all. We could have easily been regulars there but instead nope. I just felt not welcomed in that "home". So no thank you. But enjoy my cute pics.

    After a couple of visits, I can highly recommend Casa de Julia. The food is tasty, and the service is both friendly and efficient. At our last visit, my husband had the beef enchiladas in red sauce, which he described as the perfect blend of spice and savory. I had the lengua en salsa verde. The lengua was incredibly tender, and the sauce was amazing. I tend to judge Mexican restaurants by their rice and beans -- Casa de Julia did not disappoint! Strangely, the in-house and take-out menus are different.

    My dinner, delicious

    Customer service was great and the food was delicious,owner was very nice to me and my company,and tge train experience was cool when it goes thu it shakes the building, almost like your in a movie, great food and good customer service

    I came here for the first time last week after reading a couple of posts on yelp and realizing this was a New Mexican restaurant that had opened up in the woodside area. I am glad I came to visit as I had such a fun time here, between the friendly bartender and dining locals. The bar area is spacious and has huge flat screen TVs with sports playing, they have an interesting selection of beers (they do not have their liquor license yet), such as the strawberry cider I had which was DELICIOUS. I have only tried their fish tacos thus far but I was really impressed; the portions were huge for the price and it tasted great! Huge chunk of fried white fish, shredded lettuce and sauce on warm soft tortillas with a glass of strawberry cider was the best decision I made that day.

    I recently went to the grand opening of Casa de Julia, and it was a great ambience. I felt welcomed by the decorations and colors of the Mexican flag on the decorations. It was a warm and inviting atmosphere. Everyone felt like family. The owner came to speak to us and spoke about his hometown in Puebla, Mexico and was just super friendly. We had ordered the fish tacos, the chicken tostadas, cemita, and also the mole. The best thing on the menu was probably the mole and the fish tacos. Yum! I enjoyed the spicy tang of the sauce of fish tacos. I also thought the mole had a smoky and complex texture. I really loved the prices and felt this would be a great place for happy hour or grab a meal after work. I liked the pina colada and the sangria. It was a decent place to bring the family even the kids. I would definitely recommend to those who are looking for an authentic cuisine in the neighborhood.

It reminds me a time in the neighborhood when Irish folks were the majority and when times were so much more simple. This pub is low key, rarely crowded, somewhat easy to miss, and extremely local. The place reminds me a ton of the Courtyard Ale House in Sunnyside, from the exterior to the darkly lit interior with an intimate bar setup. They too had an outdoor setup during the pandemic. The bartenders are friendly enough and the clientele is a lot of older folks that drink alone. There are some TVs, which are as small as the pub itself. The drink selection is pretty basic with some bottled beer and some limited taps. Whether it's a glass of Stella or a pint of Guinness, it's what most of the place is often drinking. There are some TVs playing sports and no food that I'm aware of. The plus side is that the drinks are going to be affordable and there is vibe is the least pretentious in the area. If one is looking for a simple ambiance with a little sports and a lot of local vibes, The Dugout completely fits the bill. Indulge in the personalities and have a pint while playing something from their jukebox. If one is lucky, it might just be on a night where there's a little live music.

Came here for a little small belated birthday dinner for a friend and we had a very nice time. We each just had a dish since we knew the portions are BIG. The menu is extensive and there was a lot to choose from. They even offer some Mexican and Italian dish options. I had the Grilled Skirt Steak (Monterey), which was SO BIG I had leftover for lunch the next day. :) the meat was pretty tender and juicy. The dish came with tostones (big) and rice. We were also served salads to start. What stands out a lot is the amazing service here. They are so polite, friendly, patient and helpful. The restaurant definitely seemed staffed properly which I suppose was a good thing because as the night progressed, the place filled up (for a Thursday night). My friends had the salmon and the Chicken Franchise. I took off just one star because they ended up charging my friends twice (but rectified the mistake), hopefully her funds will sort out. They also charge extra if you want to make any side substitutions... which isn't kind of crappy. The place is also beautifully decorated and spacious. Will def be back very soon! Next time we'll partake in an adult beverage maybe :)

I've experienced and enjoyed Colombian cuisine before, but unfortunately, I was not a big fan of the food at Barriles. We were with my brother, and the three of us shared the Ceviche Mixto, the Picada La Jefa, and Parrillada Barriles. The Picado La Jefa was the best in terms of flavor, due primarily to the sauce and guacamole. The Parrillada Barriles was surprisingly disappointing, despite the "wow" factor of the portion size. Everything on the platter was so overcooked and dry, and everything also lacked seasoning. It was almost inedible, but we took the leftovers home in the hopes of being able to repurpose them somehow since the dish cost $50. The ceviche was prepared in a traditional red sauce, which I had never had before. The texture of the seafood was decent, but I didn't care for the sauce. It tasted oddly sweet to me. Overall, I would not eat here again but would return for drinks.
