My 100% go to for Mexican food in Nashville. Service is excellent. Food is great and the prices are wonderful!

Don Julio is a local Mexican spot with two locations, one in Whites Creek and the other, which is this location, in Madison. This location sits directly on Gallatin Pike in a small mixed-use/two story plaza located across from the Planet Fitness. We popped in on a Friday evening around 8:30 PM and to our surprise we were the only table other than a few patrons at the bar. This made us a tad nervous, which turned out to be unfounded when the crowds started descending on the place shortly after 9pm. As noted, while the bar may not be big, it is fully loaded so of course we got a couple of beers and a house cocktail with our dinner. I went with a sweet tea as well, which was never empty as they checked on us pretty regularly...actually our server and the apparent Manager stopped by. Food was solid, we went with a house burrito and a combination platter. Burrito was packed with all the goods and smothered in cheese, while the combination was everything expected and even came with a little taco holder! One thing I did notice and really appreciated was the authentic preparation of the ground beef, which consisted of differing spices and veggies. Gave it that extra texture and taste. Parking can be tough if you come at the wrong time as it is pretty limited. Overall, solid spot with good service and tasty food! read more

The food and atmosphere is ALWAYS on point! I've been going religiously for about 2 years and plan to continue! Love me some Don Julio's

So I have to say when I pulled in I was a bit alarmed. It wasn't the big box Don Julio I was expecting. I was pleasantly surprised. Top shelf margarita is AMAZING!! Def a must. The chips and salsa were top notch and the nachos supreme were really good! I recommend the shrimp taco - great flavor!! Our server did a grest job. We actually paid and ordered twice!!! I would come again. read more

Checked this place out this weekend and it was hit or miss when it came to the menu items. To start, we got the salsa and cheese dip. The salsa was a little bland and the cheese dip was bland and watery. We asked for hot sauce to add to the salsa and those were delicious! We then got the chicken fajitas, veggie enchiladas, and beef tacos. The fajitas were delicious and they gave plenty of veggies to go with the meat! The veggie enchiladas and beef tacos were good but nothing to write home about. I do want to call out the service, which was 10/10! Our waitress checked on us throughout dinner and made sure we had everything we needed! read more

Came here on a weekend evening, got the special plate with burrito, enchilada, and chile relleno; burrito and enchilada came with ground beef. Lots of food for $9 pre-tax! Wow. Also comes with chips and salsa. Flavors were alright, not super impressed by it. No vegetables in sight. Service was slow, had to wait a while to ask for the check. A bit dark inside, pretty decor, has live TVs. read more

Good, authentic Mexican food! The staff are super nice as well. Fajitas and the house margarita are both great. read more

Absolute best Mexican restaurant I've ever been too. Second to none. Service was absolutely amazing, food came out very quickly, and tasted amazing. Will definitely be back next time I'm in Nashville. Jazline was amazing! read more

I came here on a Monday afternoon. It wasn't too busy. The menu was extensive with plenty of selections. I ordered a burrito and during the wait I snacked on chips and salsa. Nothing stood out about the salsa while wishing it was fantastic. My burrito arrived with a layer of cheese sauce on top. I indulged in my burrito hoping it to be reminiscent of a tex mex burrito or even better. I was disappointed again due to false expectations and it is my own fault. The burrito lacked the highly savory and flavorful meat I am used to along with cheesy goodness. The food here was decent, just not great. read more

What a great find! The building is modest but don't let that stop you from coming in. The food is amazing and the service is welcoming and genuinely friendly. We started with the chips - which were freshly cooked in the store - and salsa (homemade and FRESH). We moved on to a cheese quesadilla which was hands down, the most delicious cheese quesadilla I ever ate. I'll be dreaming about this! Dinner was a bowl of 7 mares soup, which was so loaded with seafood I could barely make it through half of the cauldron sized bowl. It was delicious, and 100% pescatarian. My better half had the shrimp and swai fajitas. They were seasoned perfectly and so, so, so good. The bill for everything (including an iced tea) was $45 before tip which was more than fair. I'm so glad we found this place. read more

Deliccccious authentic food. Not going to lie were a bit of food snobs - just go and trust me. It's amazing.

They have really good food and service, if you are looking for a family place where to eat this is the one.

Very good food, great service, good prices. We were visiting friends and stopped for a late lunch. Everyone was very happy with their meals. Only thing that could have gone better was they were out of Chile Relleno. The waitress was very attentive. The food was served hot and plentiful. The salsa and chips were also very plentiful. read more

Love this pace. Food: their Margaritas are the bomb. The Don Julio fajitas were delicious. It come with tortillas, rice and beans. The guacamole was nasty. I wouldn't even call it guac, tasted like some fake stuff you would get at the gas station. Just skip the guac. The chips and salsa were ok. Service: our server was sweet and very friendly. Environment: the ambience was chill. I appreciate the social distancing guidelines given the current times. read more

Don Julio Mexican Restaurant - Don Julio Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Madison, Tennessee

Unassuming, solid Mexican restaurant. -12 oz. margaritas are only $2.99 (always, it seems) -food prices are comparable to most Mexican restaurants east of downtown Nashville -interior felt generally clean and cohesive -not high-class, but not divey -chips were tasty and fresh -salsa was good... a little spicier than most house salsas around town Our experience was generally good. Staff were friendly. Our only qualms has to do with the fajitas tasting a bit charred. Solid value. We'd try again if in the area. read more

Stopped by Don Julio's for a light dinner. We had the house margaritas ($2.99) and they were yummy. Chips and salsa were complimentary and they were good. We added guacamole to the appetizer and it was really fresh and chunky. We tried four tacos and shared: carnitas, pollo, carne asada and al pastor (my favorite). The tacos were fresh and delicious. The servers were so nice and friendly. They answered our questions and made some recommendations. We did not stay long, but we enjoyed our visit very much. read more

Been going to Don Julio's for YEARS!! You go in for the low priced margaritas and you stay for the authentic freshly prepared Mexican dishes. Locally owned and a great family atmosphere! Highly recommend, either location read more

Food was just ok. We have had better. Service was great. Margaritas were subpar. Owner was engaged. We enjoyed the hike in the wall look.

First time we've stopped in to try this location. The parking is limited, so when we were hungry and the parking lot was somewhat empty - we decided to give it a try. Glasses used to serve drinks are nice, staff are mostly friendly and the salsa was good. We got a chicken taco salad and steak burrito. The food was good but not great. It lacked the spice you expect with Mexican food. The verde sauce on the burrito was outstanding! That is the only recommendation I would pass along. read more

The food was amazing- especially the chili rellanos- YUM. Large serving for the price. Service was fast and friendly. We can't wait to try something else on the menu. read more

Don Julio Mexican Restaurant - Regular beef tacos - Mexican Near Me - Madison, Tennessee

Still my favorite Mexican pick up spot in Madison. When they don't have a product, they call to change your order. Veggies and meat are always so fresh. Queso on point. Portions on point. And their rice with a bit of carrot and onion is the best. read more

Wonderful!! Great service, great food (we had fajitas and burritos), menu was pretty deep and service pretty fast. Choice of frozen or rocks with Daquiris and margaritas! I had a strawberry marg on the rocks. Really good, not too strong tho so if that's a problem for you ya might have to speak up? Idk if anyone ever expects a strawberry anything to be strong... Lost a star solely on location; they are in a strip mall so not the prettiest spot, and the outdoor seating is in the parking lot - But! they fenced it in and have umbrellas so you kinda forget where you are because yum. Wrap it up? Great food and drink, I'd go once a week, just not for an anniversary. Give it a try! read more

There are a lot of good Mexican restaurants in this area but Don Julio is the worst I've been to. Everything from the chips and salsa to rice and beans was bland. I had a burrito and enchilada combination plate and I could barely cut through either of them something weird about the tortillas. I asked for a side of pickled jalapeños and if I had been blindfolded I wouldn't even know they were peppers. The waitress was very nice no problem there. The prices were average but considering the quality of the food overpriced. I've been to every Mexican restaurant around here and they're all better than Don Julio. read more

Don Julio is our weekly go to for the best Mexican Food in Nashville. Whether you are in the mood for traditional Mexican food and margaritas, homemade soups, or the best wings in town, you can not go with anything on their menu. All of their desserts are a must try as well! Their portions of food and prices are way better than any other Mexican restaurant in the area. Definitely worth checking out this local place. read more

Ate here on my lunch break today and had a great experience. I came in around 12:20, and there was only one person working up front. As soon as I sat down, it became very busy. The one server (I saw, anyway) was taking care of people at the bar and two tables including my own but was doing a wonderful job with little to no help. Another server soon walked in and immediately started helping out the other server with his tables. His name wasn't on the check so he wasn't going to be getting the tip, but he still waited on me as if I was tipping him. He offered me a to-go box and drink and genuinely wanted me to have a good experience. Only reason I am giving 4 stars is because my chips were cold, and I wasn't a fan of the cheese dip. I would definitely come back, however, if I'm in the area! read more

I'm not sure how this place is so highly rated. The food was absolutely gross. The rice and beans were flavorless. The meat inside the burrito and enchilada was like terrible meat spaghetti sauce. It was such a weird flavor combo. The waitress was nice enough I guess. Won't ever return. Disgusting. read more

No wine, unbelievable. I've never seen a restaurant that carried liquor and not wine. I won't be back.

A best kept little secret. The food is good and the staff is friendly. The drink are delicious!!!

We just moved to the area and we're looking for a new Mexican restaurant and we found it. The service was super friendly and came back every 10 minutes or so to check on drinks and make sure everything was okay. The salsa that came with the chips is the best restaurant salsa I've had. It was chunky and had actual flavor. It was served chilled with fresh warm chips. Whenever I got to a Mexican restaurant for the first time I always pick a safe option like a chimichanga. It was absolutely delicious and they cooked the peppers and onions into it. I'll definitely be going back. read more

And the food is consistently good, the staff and service have always been great, and it's a great place to have a quiet, dinner and conversation read more

Food is delicious and the price is incredible. Had the queso with chorizo to start with the complimentary chips and salsa and it was tasty. Tried the chorizo taco and the Al pastor taco and finished with the don julio chicken + chorizo & the shredded chicken chimichanga. Everything exceeded expectations. Service is quick & everyone is extremely friendly. 10/10 read more
