What skpe dislikes about Julio's:
Not a good experience this time. Too loud with no TV or music just loud chatter. Dishes have changed and my order was just ‘eh’ condiments were too spicy to enjoy, yet we were charged almost $5 for each item (even just plain beandip, salsa, sour cream). The skinny margarita was also not tasty not sure why?! Our waitress was friendly, but the kitchen was severely lacking tonight. Wonder if they were short staffed? Too... View all feedback.

Food was way overpriced and not good. Charged extra for using credit card. Asked if could substitute meat for avocado and was charged $4 for avocado. At time of paying, was told no substitutes. Had the burrito and it was very dry. The rice, beans and meat didn’t have flavor and hard to eat because it was so dry. Won’t be going back.

I always feel like a family friend when eating here. The food is freshly prepared and the margaritas are excellent.

This is a spacious Mexican restaurant with all the familiar dishes that you expect of cuisine from south of the border. They have a good selection of beer. The waitress dissuaded me from trying any of the draft ones and instead recommended one, Victoria, in a bottle. It was a new one for me, and I approve of it. It is from the province of Oaxaca. When I was there, the place was relatively empty, despite being a Saturday. Background music played. The food portion was ample and the price reasonable. Service was relatively quick. The place looked clean and walls had artifacts and hue that emphasized a Mexican ambience.

Food was ok, but it was definitely overpriced for what I got. Would not go back.

Julio's Mexican restaurant presents a complex picture, reflecting a blend of experiences from diners. While some guests praise the fresh, scratch-made dishes and authentic flavors reminiscent of Mexico City cuisine, others express disappointment over service delays and rising prices. Complaints include long wait times, bland rice, and unremarkable dishes, leaving some patrons questioning the restaurant’s value. Despite inconsistent experiences, the friendly staff and potential for high-quality cuisine have led others to remain hopeful. As it navigates these challenges, Julio's continues to be a destination worth considering for lovers of genuine Mexican food.

My sister is a huge fan of tacos, and she claims that Julio's serves the best tacos she's ever tasted!

The food is absolutely delicious, so the poor service hardly matters! Be sure to order a Mojito or two... or three!

The fajitas were pretty good and came out sizzling. The restaurant was very crowded and a bit loud, but the food was still top notch at least! Vegetarian options: I had vegetarian fajitas

Was on a road trip and pleasantly surprised at the quality and freshness of the food at Julio’s. Service was very friendly and did a phone order for pick up. Was in need of some beans and rice (and cheese quesadilla) for my kid and a vegetarian burrito for myself. Julio’s delivered in every way. Ask for a fajita veggies on your burrito! Vegetarian options: They can make many items vegetarian easily. Just asked. Parking: Lot right next to restaurant Kid-friendliness: Booths are always great for my little kids. Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level with indoor and outdoor eating spaces access

However, the service left much to be desired. When we arrived, about five or six tables were occupied, while the rest of the restaurant was empty. The waitress cleaned two booths and offered us a choice, so we settled in. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a significant delay between ordering, receiving our meals, and getting the check, even considering how busy things became. We waited quite a while for our water to be refilled, and my husband didn’t receive his beans with the burrito. I couldn’t help but notice other tables getting their food and checks promptly, while one family sat with empty water glasses and tortilla chips, patiently waiting for their meal. Despite the service hiccups, we will definitely return. The fresh ingredients and delicious food are well worth it. I understand that busy nights can be challenging for a restaurant, so we are willing to give it another shot.

Julio's is an outstanding restaurant that offers freshly prepared, scratch-made dishes. It resembles the gourmet farm-to-table restaurants of Mexico City, offering a completely different experience from the typical Americanized Mexican food. One of my personal favorites is the rice and black beans, which are made simply yet bursting with natural flavors. The sauces and marinades enhance the ingredients rather than overpower them. The staff is incredibly kind and friendly. Having worked and traveled in Mexico and lived in Southern California, I've had my fair share of different styles of Mexican cuisine, which can vary greatly by region. Bothell is truly fortunate to have a restaurant of Julio's caliber.

This was my third time dining at Julio's, and Saturday night was quite busy. I had to wait 30 minutes for a table, but the staff worked incredibly hard to accommodate everyone. Since it was my birthday, they went out of their way to make it special for me. The margaritas were fantastic, and the food is truly the best Mexican cuisine I've had anywhere. I’ve lived in the South and have tried Mexican food in Mexico and six other states, but nothing compares to Julio's. I highly recommend this place!

The food is amazing! I'd never had fajitas with steak that practically melts in your mouth, until now. Absolute perfection! 10/10 would recommend, 10/10 will be back!

Absolutely my favorite Mexican restaurant in my area. Everything they make is fresh, rich in flavor, and an absolute delight. Best of all, they are willing to make their enchiladas suizas with corn tortillas for those of us with wheat allergies or Celiac. We've been customers for years and have tried at least half the menu, and even remember some dishes no longer on the menu. Bring the horchata back, Sylvia and Julio! <3

I visited Julio's yesterday after spending time with our son who lives nearby. We were in the mood for Mexican cuisine and decided to give this place a shot since it had a solid rating of 4 stars.

I stopped by this restaurant to celebrate a dear friend's farewell, another friend's birthday, and the retirement of another. It was a busy evening filled with festivities. The food was excellent, and overall, it was a wonderful experience.
