Oh my gosh amazing food and drinks, HUGE portions , and really good prices! I loved the sangria and fish tacos , and my husband loved the steak fajitas . Oh and the black beans are the best. Yay!
Fajitas were good, especially the home-made tortillas . The spicy salsa was also excellent. Even though I'm lactose intolerant, I HIGHLY recommend the chile con queso :). Andrew is a great waiter !
Julio's is a well oiled machine. Great chips and salsa to start. Thin delicious chips and smokey, slightly spicy salsa . Homemade Tortillas make every meal amazing, but I recommend steak tacos !
Incredible chips and salsa . Guacamole is out of this world. Queso is superb! Our favorite restaurant !
???? Love this place! Que rico es la salsa ! Fajitas are epic! Great service and food! 10+++!
I think this place is pretty good and I like the food. I pass by often and there is always activity, especially happy hour . Overall, a good value for money and worth checking out. Better than others.
Try the new menu item Honey BBQ Chicken Fajitas — the bacon adds a lot to this dish!
The chicken fajitas are amazing. The salsa is different but good. Would love to try the chocolate piñata for dessert !
Get The Swirl to drink! If you are in the mood for a huge dish, go with the steak fajitas .
The single portion of guacamole is big enough to keep you going with those chips …
The bartender was awesome. Will definitely be back for the service ????; drinks and food
Try the the mini-cajetas, the perfect size for a dessert and delicious!
Try the quail . No seriously, those tiny birds are delicious. Tried 'em on a dare...and have been hooked ever since!
Excellent shrimp and lobster soup and very delicious Juanita's platter
Fajitas are always great. Fried coconut ice cream is a favorite
Steak fajitas are the best!! Ribs are great too. Can't go wrong here.
Their chips and dip is always good! You get a lot of food.
Fajitas for one can easily feed two. Also, try the Swirl - you won't regret it!
The fajitas are awesome, but I also really like the veggie quesadillas
Best Tex-Mex food! Cheese dip is good. LOVE their salsa !!!!
The margarita swirl(i think thats what theyre called) are awesome, minus the fact they have everclear in it.
Great place, very busy in the evening. If you don't want the wait, the deliver !
Try the Chicken Quesadilla - You can get this with Shredded chicken(dark meat) or fajita style chicken (white meat).
TexMex combo platter is good and a lot of food.
Outside seating is great when the weather is nice #captobvious
Fajitas no question. Chicken is grilled to perfection and the sour cream is unreal
Great service... This is Tex-mex!!!! People who are afraid of good Tex-mex... Shame on you.
Great drinks and friendly staff .
Get the tropical swirl meltdown with some fajitas (Guadalajara is my fave). So good!!!
For the best time... Go see Everett at the bar . He's the man!
The reverse swirl is legendary...order it!
The sauces were a little spicier than usual. Be sure to ask before you order.
Reverse Swirl is the BEST choice for Happy Hour !! Plus their addictive chips & dip & it's a party!! :-D
Great food! Better margaritas . Awesome waiters
Brisket Tacos are AMAZING here!!
The mojitos are lacking real crushed mint . They're just simple syrup . :-/. The vegetable fajitas were sizable and tasty! Say it's your first time and you get free desert !
The mango margarita was just the right amount of sweet.
The free chips and salsa go great with a Negra Modelo or a Tecate !
If you order something that comes with beans replace the pinto beans with black beans . They are delicious!
Fish tacos are covered up to hide their lack of flavor. While the carne asada stole the show!
Get the reverse swirl - it is not on the menu , but it's amazing!!!
Tex-Mex food. They have frog legs too. It smells better than it tastes.
Must get the Pineapple Bacon Guacamole , absolutely amazing!
Ditto to Lori's tip - definitely get the spicy/hot salsa - far superior to their 'regular' (which is already pretty darn good).
Salsa is out of this world.
Get the queso fundido with chorizo . The beers here are surprisingly expensive . Margaritas are $8.50.
The faijtas and the frozen margarita/sangria swirls are amazing. Also try the guacamole .
Great food but never going there on a Friday night packed and long wait
Make reservations 30 minutes ahead of time on a busy Bethesda night!
Get a Tropical Swirl Meltdown.It.Is.Amazing! Also ask for MARIO.he is a FANTASTIC waiter !
The staff here is awesome - so friendly and the always remember my order. The 80s music is also a cool throw back. - Jeff Wilson
everything i've tried on the menu here has impressed me... and of course the sangrias are so deelish - Sheri
Fajita Burrito with Barbaquo meat is excellent. Much better without beans. More tips & pics at www.nomnomboris.com - NOM NOM Boris
Lemon blossom was delicious! Perfect balance between sweet and tart- melts in your mouth! A definite must- try! - Micalla Hootstein ????
Expert Noah is awesome! Super helpful, crazy knowledgeable and a pleasure to do biz with. - Meryl Todd
Buckets of beer and awesome bar food. Their patio is a MUST in the summer. - Allyson Hartten
