Dona Julia Mexican Kitchen

I’m giving this place three starts to be fair since it was our second time here. Really wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. Now here we are: Cons: waited over and hour (For reference we order 2 chicken tacos, 1 order of tostadas, carne asada, flautas which was served still cold in the inside) Pros: Food and service was ok Won’t be returning here after today’s visit.

This is a restaurant with authentic Mexican food. It is in a strip mall and if not careful you can pass it. Service is friendly and efficient.

I was very disappointed ordering from here, especially with all of the great reviews. The food does NOT taste authentic. Mexican food always has flavor and seasoning and this was the blandest meal I have ever eaten. I ordered a chicken burrito and the only way I could describe it was grey. Even pouring verde sauce all over it didn’t help. The verde sauce was oily. I could see it pooling along the sides of the cup. The rice inside the burrito and served on the side was soggy. I gave up on the burrito and figured I would fill up on the chips and salsa that we ordered. The red “salsa“ (if you could even call it that) tasted like watered down tomato sauce from a can with table pepper on top for “seasoning “. Don’t let the little bit of cilantro fool you because I couldn’t even taste that. Cilantro is typically a stronger flavor and it was concerning that I couldn’t taste it. I also want to note that I’m pregnant and was starving by the time I ate and those two things usually make everything taste great. Only order from here if you enjoy bland food.

This is absolutely the best Mexican food in the area and the owner is so nice! He’s always in there engaging with his customers and I love to support someone who cares so much. Highly recommend!

I ordered the Nachos with Chicken on 10/23/22. The tortilla chips were stale and not crispy at all. I'm not sure if I would order from this restaurant again. However, it's always best to try it out for yourself and form your own opinion.
