Everything is good! My fave is the tiera de mar, 6 oz tail with your choice of chicken or steak fajitas ; rice & beans; guacamole & pico de gallo!!! The lobster melts in your mouth the steak is tenderUpvoted Mar 11
Melody LeggeJanuary 6, 2016The swirl was delightful! Margarita and sangria. So good. I've been told it's what they are known for. The fajita quesadillas were very good. Tender and savory steak. I'd go back.
Sarah SocialMarch 4, 2015The "mandatory" valet parking was a little strange considering they park your car in the same lot... But the food was superb - I recommend the taco salad
Bill PeelerMay 12, 2017What you have to realize going in to Julio's is that everything is scratchmade on site. EVERYTHING. Get the fajitas and get the guac. This place does not disappoint.- L KAugust 9, 2014Amazing handmade at-your-table guacamole, and fresh baked flour tortillas. Fajitas are just steak and onion, but still tasty. Get the chopped chicken tacos...big portion.
Surprisingly their tableside guacamole is really good! But the carts don't cone on the patio, so don't be surprised when its just dropped off at your table.
Le Grande Swirl is the drink to get. Always a good meal and festive place for birthdays.
Justin MartiniMarch 3, 2013Ask for Mario, great bartender. Margaritas on the pricey side, but only a buck or two more for premiums. Great beeritas and micheladas
Brittany NicoleJanuary 30, 2015Atmosphere is awesome, food is awesome x 2, and the margaritas are awesome x 637252773. Highly recommend
A Swirl is a must and I have yet to try something I didn't like! The enchiladas are my fav. Great experience every time.
Brandon ShookFebruary 28, 2014Large, open spaces for large parties. Delicious margaritas, including their own Julio's Gold special on the rocks.
Dana JensenNovember 27, 2014The chips and salsa were EXCELLENT, enchiladas were pretty good, and the margarita/sangria swirl was enh. The waiter called my boyfriend a girl and never apologized even after he realized he did it :/
Nuri PazolSeptember 3, 2019I don’t care if you have a gluten allergy or if corn is more authentic: get the flour tortillas. YUM.
Yolanda Turnage-SonubiJune 1, 2015Fajitas are awesome!! And the swirl was on point; it's half lime margarita & half sangria!!
Phillip EllingerJune 8, 2014The beef fajitas are the best thing on the menu. Next to the margaritas of course
I only come here for steak fajitas. You will not regret it.
Hanna MarieJune 2, 2012Try and sit outside! Plenty of shade and fans for a lovely spring/summer fun dining experience!
JamieMay 16, 2011Make sure to tell the server if it's your first time there. They'll give you free sopapillas for dessert! Yum!
Nilednam TraMarch 2, 2014Kids can request a dough ball from the tortilla machine to play with. No, seriously.
Ryan SApril 13, 2013I usually try something a little more exotic but the beef tacos here are very good.
- Best chips and queso in Chicago. Also, the frozen margaritas with sangria in them a good.
YvetteAugust 23, 2011Know it sounds crazy, but they have some of the best ribs in the city, don't forget to have a swirl!
Jennifer BobergJanuary 11, 2015Ask for Mario or Adeel at the bar. They make the best Silver Margaritas!
Love the grilled fish tacos! Must have is the swirl!!!
Sit on the patio, drink "the swirl" & enjoy good company over chips & queso
the lunch menu during the week is your best bet. order the el dorado...the soft tortillas are the best. they also have a delicious passionfruit margarita.
Ashley MattisJune 14, 2011Carne asada is great. If you want sour cream & cheese, it's enough for two people to share.
Garlanda Freeze-PuzioJune 13, 2013Order anything that gets ya the homemade tortilla's #keepingitsimple
- Ben ALWAYS gets the Guadalajara. Shrimp wrapped in jalapeño bacon. I like carne asada, fajitas and shrimp quesadilla: we'd & sat only.
DeeniAugust 29, 2012Good food-but none is spicy or authentic mexican. It is more a tex-mex restaurant
Will LonghiniDecember 5, 2011Try and park somewhere else and walk. The lot is $3 valet for lunch, probably more during dinner.
Amari OhSoPrettyDecember 2, 2012Cool food. Killer Margaritas is a better restaurant for a better price though
