My wife and I along with her sister and cousin and two young boys in tow came here to eat lunch this past Saturday. My wife and I had been by here, but the name when first constructed was Red River Cantina. The next time it looked like it was sitting idle and then the next time it had changed name's to Casa Julia! We lived in League City a couple of years ago and we knew Red River was really good and had been meaning to stop and never did. Her sister and cousin had stopped here a few weeks ago and said that the food was fabulous!! So we made plans to ask get together and come back. I'm glad we joined them!!! It was the Saturday before Christmas and I really thought it would be packed with everyone out shopping, but it really wasn't, or just didn't look like it. The inside is really big and had ample room! We were promptly seated and our waiter whose name was Brandon quickly came and introduced himself and got our drink orders. We looked over the menus and everything really sounded good!!! I ordered Sweet Tea with lemon, my wife and her sister both ordered the Margarita Flight with 4 different flavors to try from. My wife's cousin ordered Margarita and I went ahead and added a Jalapeno Margarita to my drink order. Brandon came back out with Tea's, water, and Cokes for the two boys and brought out 3 baskets of chips with bowls of Red Salsa for everyone. We asked for some of their Green Salsa also! I can tell you right now that their Red Salsa is fantastic!!! It had a smoky flavor and you can tell that the peppers were roasted very well! Probably some of the best Salsa I've had and I've had a lot! Brandon came back with the Margaritas for everyone and took our dinner orders, we passed on any Appetizers, but they all looked good too! I ordered the Barbacoa Taco dinner that comes with two Big Barbacoa Tacos with your choice of flour or corn tortillas. I ordered the flour tortillas and it also came with rice and refried or Barracho beans. I got the refried. My wife ordered the Chely plate that is a Nacho and Carbon enchilada combo with Chile con queso Sour cream, pico, and rice and beans, Her cousin and sister all ordered the same. Our 8 year old son got the cheeseburger with rice and beans??? My wife's sister's son had chicken nuggets with rice and beans. Brandon got our orders turned in and came back out and refilled our chips and salsa bowls. My Jalapeno Margarita was really good and spicy! My wife's flight of Margaritas came with a Watermelon Margarita, Jalapeno and Cucumber Margarita, Mango and Chamoy Margarita, and a House Margarita. She liked the Watermelon Margarita most out of them all! He sister liked all the Margaritas in her flight, while their cousin said her Mango and Chamoy Margarita was really good! Brandon came out a short time later with our entrees. My Barbacoa Tacos were really good!!! Plenty big with nice filling and Onions and Cilantro to go in them. Just really good flavored barbacoa too!!! My wife and the rest agreed that everything on they're Chely Plates was just plain delicious!!! The atmosphere throughout is just plain relaxing, nothing is rushed and I can't say enough about our waiter who kept tabs on our large bunch and was extremely nice, very courteous, and very accommodating. He really did a great job while juggling other tables at the same time. The ambience is also very nice. The decorations throughout really for nicely with Casa Julia's Tex-Mex theme! Really nice tiles throughout on the floors and walls. There is a seating area outside the entrance with fountains to pitch pennies in. All in all Great Food, Great Service, and a great atmosphere!!! read more
