    Loved it here! Went for a girls brunch and there was a live mariachi playing music the entire time. They were fun and full of entertainment because there was a few birthdays! Service was friendly! Food was delish and so were the drinks! Cute spot , park in garage right across the street for ease of convenience! I would love to try during dinner! I've also seen on TikTok that they have events on Saturday nights. Sounds fun!

    We were sat across from the bar area, which was perfect for quick refills on our beautiful handcrafted cocktails. Meal was thoroughly enjoyed, and as you can see from the photos, presented in great detail. Friday was DJ night playing 90's music, which happens to be our favorite era. Fun spot, with options you will not find at any other Mexican food spot.

    The food is delicious and the drinks are delicious. The place is super cute and the service was top notch. The ladies were super kind and attentive. I'll be going back soon!

    I'll start with the positive: the food is very good, flavorful and beautifully presented. The ambiance is awesome and makes it a great spot for a date night. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. Our waiter was rude, our water glasses were consistently empty, and she didn't check on us. When we asked questions about the menu, she responded with a blank expression and offered little help. We made our reservation specifically for the live saxophone music, but when we arrived, there was none. When we asked about it, we were told the musician was running late and would arrive later. We waited until the time we were given, but they never showed up. This was incredibly disappointing, as live music was the main reason we made the reservation. Our waiter never mentioned anything about it, only the hostess informed us, which we appreciated. She also kindly refilled our water. Additionally, when we made the reservation, it stated that CityScape parking would be validated. I handed our ticket to the waitress, and she was gone for about five minutes before returning it and saying it had been validated. However, when we went to leave, we found out it had not been validated, and we had to pay for parking. Overall, the experience was very disappointing. Because of the poor service, lack of communication about the live music (despite it being advertised), and the parking issue, I would not return.

    I'd like to start with the ambiance. We visited on a "Sabor and Sax" night, it was a very pleasant evening. The service was excellent the staff was attentive, and our waiter Alexa made sure we had everything we needed and checked in often to see how we were doing. If I could rate this place on service and ambiance alone, it would be 5 stars without a doubt. I always like to be honest in my reviews, so here's my take on the food: it was decent. However, I feel the menu and pricing could use some improvement. The birria tacos, for example, were good but nothing special--and I know I can find similar ones elsewhere for a lower price. The ceviche tasted fresh and flavorful, though the portion size felt small. I am not sure they have it as a main dish or appetizer. On the brighter side, the drinks were excellent; I really can't complain there. We also tried a complimentary chocolate cake, and it was moist and delicious. Overall, I would definitely come back for the atmosphere, live music, and drinks. I just hope to see more "finger foods" added to the menu to better match the lively, social vibe of sharing a good time with friends or loved ones.

    Not the best tostada I had

    The food was not what I expected. I ordered the tostada de chicharrón because it looked amazing, but instead of chicharrón, it was topped with carne asada. While the presentation was beautiful, the dish itself was disappointing. I also asked for salsa, but the server never came back with it. On top of that, our group was charged for an extra drink that no one ordered, and it was still left on our bill. The bathroom was not very clean, and the area outside the restaurant felt a bit sketchy, which made the overall experience less enjoyable. Unfortunately, between the incorrect dish, poor service, and billing mistake, I don't see myself returning.

    Last minute choice to dine before the James Taylor concert at the Footprint. Incredibly close to the Center and a great choice for Mexican top shelf food. It was Cinco de May night and totally booked but managed to snag a table at the bar. Alyssa was a super friendly bartender that was quick to serve us and enjoyable to watch. Dinner was very scrumptious and a first for my friend who is more of a meat and potatoes type of guy. He ventured into the menu choosing the tacos. He loved them! I, in the other hand went for the rice and pork highly recommended by Alyssa. Can't go wrong with a rec from the staff! Highly recommend this intimate spot located on Jefferson. BTW, the Marg looked amazing although we chose an excellent white wine. Cheers!

    What amazing customer service from even before you walk through the doors! I called ahead to ask about recommendations for parking since it can be quite the headache in this part of town. Jared and Celene were both SO incredibly sweet and joyful! She gave me several suggestions including options for at least partially validated parking at the nearby CVS and Fryes parking lots! So thankful for them! Joined a foodie group to enjoy this establishment this evening and Casa De Julia did not disappoint! I ordered the Caesar salad - so delicious! I also ordered the Tacos Julia with steak. The steak was tasty but the tacos lacked a bit of flavor. I added salt, pepper, and lemon juice which helped. I found the cheese melted on took away from the enjoyable taste and texture of the tortilla. So I'd say FIVE stars for service but food was a bit pricey and not as flavorful as I wanted and parking is very expensive in the area. Parking and purchasing at CVS definitely helped offset the cost as it covered 2 hours but their customer service at CVS wasn't very friendly so that made it a bit awkward. Definitely recommend popping in here at least for apps when in the area.

    Decided to have lunch here as my friends mentioned they had their anniversary dinner here and it was superb. Take note that reserving through opentable they need $$ to reserve to make sure you don't dip. I called for my reservation and was seated right away for 4 people at 2:30pm. It was a Saturday and it seemed like they were short staffed but our waiter was super nice. It did just take long for our drinks to come but they were delicious. One of us though did not get a drink as the waiter forgot but did tell us honestly he did forget and would take it off the bill. Then forgot to take it off the bill but when pointed, he did remove it. The overall ambiance was super cool. It was upscale Mexican but still nicely casual. The lunch menu was limited unlike the dinner menu that I saw my friend send me when he went. The food is pricier but it is delicious. I didn't get to take a photo of all the drinks and food but loved my Caesar salad so there's that! It's a nice spot, would love to see what kind of happy hour they'd do. Also their website is not working so that kind of sucks. All in all, the experience was ok so I give it a 4 stars cause the food was good but the service was slow.

    Came here after finding this place online. Online says happy hour Monday thru Friday from 2-5. When we arrived we were immediately taken to a table because it was completely empty. We asked about happy hour and were instantly told, ooooo we need to change that. Happy hour is only Monday thru Thursday. They not only need to update their website but also their door. As someone visiting from out of town, this was def a waste. And to me, I feel like it should have still be honored because it's being advertised in 2 places. So 1 star but really no stars.

    3 Mini Quesabirria tacos.

    The good...pozole was very nice, although not sure how I feel about chopped lettuce rather than cabbage. Also, no radish? Probably the meatiest pozole I've ever eaten. Quesobirria tacos as appetizers were good but pretty small. The not so good...the NOISE and VOLUME. There was a DJ inside and the volume was ridiculous to us. People yelling across tables to be heard. We requested to sit outside...and it was still waaaay too loud with the speakers out there. There's no way we'd go back to CdJ without an option to sit somewhere away from the GIANT CONCERT WALL OF SOUND, like sitting right in front of the speakers at a show. Hopefully you can tell it wasn't about WHAT they were playing but HOW LOUD. We wouldn't recommend for couples or anyone that doesn't want to feel like they're at the club. Food? Good. Place? Cute. Environment? Uninviting unless you wanna go home with hearing loss.

    Muy bueno el ambiente, la comida y el servicio! Mi comida favorita son las enchiladas de mole con pollo y la noche de despecho!

    Birthday brunch! Party of five, Reservations were made same day. We felt like celebrities being the only ones in the restaurant. Aguachiles appetizer was delicious and presentation 100%. Veggie omelette was cooked to perfection. Chilaquiles had the right amount of crunch and flavor. Wagyu Burger 10/10 with no flavor missed. Overall, a very chic birthday brunch. The only take away was the small table plate of chips could have a better presentation of chips and salsa and the amount. Salsa was too yummy for a small plate of chips.

From the great wood grain basement dark ambience to to the raw, regular bar, and multiple sit-down options, we have tried it all. The allure of trying to find a place down in a basement where you have to find the right elevator was pretty bad ass. The hosts along with the waitresses and bar tenders are always welcoming and knowledgeable about their food and drink. I also think it is cool that you can get lockers to store your expensive liquor for return trips. We often come here for drinks and oysters, because my wife loves oysters and they have a wide range of options that aren't exactly cheap, but don't break the bank for freshness and taste. I only really mark down the rating because the menu has been stale over the years and they used to offer elk that is no longer available. Now call that pretentions or snooty, but I think they could use some unique options to keep the experience moving each time you come in. Also, I feel a restaurant of this caliber should be evolving to match their cool vibe and unique experience. I usually get the Wren house beer but feel the beer optiosn are limiting I also feel like some of their cocktails are overpriced, but they are unique compared to other places, so maybe I am just cheap. So really this rating should be more a 4.5. What really brings you back is the cool art on the wall with a Theodore Roosevelt slant and cool sitting areas like a sofa setting in what looks like it would be his old school library. Don't get me wrong everything I have eaten here has been good, but nothing hearkens back like that elk. This place makes for an amazing tinder date if you are willing to drop that cash and make that impression, come here then hop on over to Valley bar and she will think you are magician of illusive locations if she hasn't already been there.

This is very cool joint with a dark feel too it. They have a basement bar which we ventured into and they also have an upstairs bar as well, so you can fit a lot of drunk People in there. It also features a lot of great art that fits really highlights the Mexican bar vibe. The waitress/bar tender/ agave expert was very welcoming and know a lot about their tequilas and mescal option. I love me some smokey mescal, I dont remember thet name of the drink but it had some kind of elote triple sec or something like that along with Mescal and it was quite tasty. Trust me I was in no state to remember ingredients but this is from my foggy memory. I also got a pick of the cool ice blocks that has an Agave inlay that they put in the tumbler with your drink. I will definitely be going back for their wide Mescal and tequila options. I didn't see food in the bar, but they have a food truck out front that smelled amazing, but sometimes I simply dont want to eat when there are plenty of drinks to be had. They do have Esquites, Tacos, Quesadillas, Mini Chimis, and loaded fries. I will have to do another review on the food when I am not out being a borracho. They do take reservations and host private parties which would make for one raucous Christmas party if you don't work at a Christ loving conservative company like me. You can also order bottles of mescal and pick it up on location which is pretty awesome as especially after trying out the selection. Happy hour is every weekday that they are open to try out some of their cocktails. This is a great option to impress your tinder date if you are a lush like me pr want to show of your sophisticated drinker side.

    Located in Downtown Phoenix, the parking situation is a little hairy. There is paid parking nearby,…read morebut it definitely is better to come a little earlier to scope out the parking situation and get that sorted before your reservation. My party and I had a reservation on a Saturday night at 9pm (when it's 13 people, what can you do). What kind of sucked though (and mainly why I'm deducting a star) is that we did wait an additional half hour to be seated after our reservation time. Our theory is that they didn't think the entire party would actually arrive, and they were not ready to accommodate us. To be fair, the restaurant IS on the smaller side, but there was 0 communication during that half hour on what was going on... which isn't really good for us either. We got the original set, and this somewhat confused me as well. The food was really good, and was definitely a restaurant that I'd go to for the experience, but for some reason some of the meats were doubled while others weren't. The double portions were really nice since our party was so large, we needed to split the food between 4 different grills (so each table got 2 grills each, feeding 6-7 people in total or 3-4 people per grill), but then we had to share the portions where we only got one serving. It wasn't bad, but to me, didn't make sense. The food was really good though; I didn't care too much about the soup, but the green sauce was SO good. Mixing a little with the soup was incredible. I thought the beef and pork were really good. I personally left the restaurant full, but many others in my party did not. I think it's a really good amount of food for 2 people, but when you push to 3+, you probably do not want to come hungry. Also--the live music at Pemberton next door is SO LOUD, you're going to be shouting at your table the entire night when you sit outside. I think I would come back if I wanted to show this place to someone who didn't live here, but it isn't on the top of my list for when I'm trying to eat out, but I will definitely consider this for special date night occasions. It is extremely expensive for what it is though. For $70+ you risk the chance of leaving not full which SUCKS.
