"The service! The food! The owner Claudia! There is not much more I can say about this place. Local, friendly, high quality, and an atmosphere with little competition. Having been in Austin for 10 years, it shocks me that I have not been here sooner. New owners took over a long established Mexican spot 2 years ago and have made it even better. I cannot wait to go back for mole enchiladas or fish fridays. Try the green chicken enchiladas, the pozole soup, rotisserie chicken, or beef quesadilla."

"Delicious food and even more incredible hospitality at Julio’s. The enchilada and fajita plate is one of the best dishes in Austin and I say that as a 15 year resident here. The owner and staff is so inviting and friendly, it’s easy to see why so many locals are regulars."

"Stopped in here for lunch while I was out making work calls. When I walked in I was immediately acknowledged with a warm smile. They were so nice and accommodating asking if I’d had ever been in before, explaining to order at the cash register etc. I started with chips and salsa which were obviously made there and amazing! Then had the enchilada plate. Everything was awesome! I will keep this on my radar when in the area!"

"I practically come to this place almost every day, and the food always feels like it was made by my mom — truly homemade, comforting, and consistently delicious every single time. I absolutely love their chicken mole Mondays, the flautas, the nachos with ground beef, the margaritas, the queso with chips, the pozole, and the chicken soup. Even the rice has a unique, incredible flavor. Honestly, I love everything about this place. The food, the consistency, and the home-style taste make it a spot I always look forward to coming back to. Highly recommended! And I forget the actitudes from all of the staff Staring from the owner cashier Sofi or Blanca Or Sheiyo"

"Julio’s is an absolute gem. You can feel the history the moment you walk in. A 40+ year, family-run, generational business that truly gets it right. The staff was incredibly friendly, the restaurant was spotless, and the food was some of the most authentic and best-tasting Mexican food we’ve had. We met Claudia, the owner, and she was so kind and welcoming. You can tell this place is run with real care and pride. My wife, myself, and our baby daughter all loved it. Zero reservations, zero complaints. Local, authentic, and done right. We will absolutely be back soon."
