As I was driving to DMV, I just passed Chipotle and located across from Comfort Inn is a restaurant a little hidden back called Don Julio Tequilas. As you walked in, the restaurant is clean, moderate music playing, bar on left and dining room on the right. There were 5 items: 1) Queso Dip 2) Wings 3) Pork Carnitas 4) Mexican City Tacos 5) Pollo Yucatán. The queso dip was delicious and smooth. The wings come in three flavors and eight pieces in which I chose buffalo. They were very tender, juicy and delicious. The two entrees - pork carnitas and pollo yucatan were delicious too. Unfortunately the Mexican City tacos fell flat for me. Though the three street tacos has 3 variety of protein: grilled steak, chicken and carnitas topped with cilantro and onions, served with charro beans and fluffy rice. All of protein was bland, the charro beans were soupy but after adding the queso dip to the tacos, they were tasty. The server named Jeremy was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. I would make another visit to try other items on their menu. read more

Every single time, they exceed my expectations. Whenever I come here, I'm treated like family. The service is fantastic and we're always looked after. The food is phenomenal and the prices are very reasonable considering the quality and generous serving sizes. I absolutely love it here and will continue to come back. read more

We really were in the mood for Mexican - traveling so relying on signs etc. We thought we were going to another restaurant, but noticed this and pulled in. Wayne was in the mood for a margarita-and was not disappointed. Chips and salsa were just right, and we ordered some guacamole. I went for a burrito cali - chicken, rice, beans all delish! Wayne had a burrito fajita with really awesome, tender steak. Servers were also great, we sat at the bar and had a great time. read more

First of all the atmosphere is awesome. Very clean and inviting. The staff is friendly and professional. The service was top notch! Our server was attentive and friendly. Now, about the food. It was great. I had the steak and it was perfect. Tender and very tasty. My wife had the crab enchiladas and loved it. The servings are huge and very filling. We're already looking forward to coming back next year when we are back in town. Thank you Don Julio Tequilas! read more

The only thing consistent is the inconsistency of service and quality. Not sure how likely I am to return again, and would not recommend for any reason outside of convenience and cost. I've been a repeat taco tuesday customer for a few weeks, and while sometimes it's a reasonable dinner at an affordable price, others have been less bang for the buck so to speak. The last few times I've been here, either the complementary salsa or white sauce, and once even the chips entirely were said to have been 86'ed for the day, which is no big deal for a last call late night service, but a slow 6pm sit down is mildly annoying. However when baskets and cups start flowing out of the kitchen to other tables 10-15 minutes later without being offered, it's even more so. Tacos quality are usually representative of the price, affordable and decent enough, however sometimes they are more bland and watery, some other times more dry and oddly seasoned with a heavy handed amount of clove/cinnamon type spice. Simply inconsistent. Soft drinks are not consistently and regularly priced week to week, sodas can be flat and heavily syrupy some nights and bright and bubbly others. Consistently inconsistent. The service is lacking as well, after sending items back to the kitchen for being lower than normal quality (hard shells completely soaked through and falling apart) or as ordered (no lettuce is not an overly demanding request), no re-fire was offered, no removal from bill, just a "sorry about that, here's your check." Perhaps the bartenders are more attentive, maybe the drinks are strong enough to make one not care about the small things, maybe I unintentionally did something to be labeled a disliked customer, but for the next few weeks at least, I'll certainly be spending my taco tuesdays elsewhere. read more

Terrible service. Stood there for 10 minutes in the front and nobody came to seat us. Half of the restaurant was open and not a single worker in sight. Bad ambiance and couldn't even try the food. read more

This was my first time here and not my last! I love this place the music the food and the margaritas were fire! I ordered a 44oz frozen mango strawberry margarita and they did not disappoint. The flautas were crispy the chips were fresh and the service was great! Thank you for making the trip worth it:) read more

Make sure you check your bills before you pay! They are a bunch of SCAMMERS...I ordered A La Carte - 2 chicken quesadillas, 1 chicken enchilada, and a side of rice. Total should have been $14.04 for my meal. They decided to charge me for a Combo 1 item meal (which is supposed to come with rice AND beans) for $12.99...AND they charged for 2 à la carte quesadillas with an up charge for grilled chicken, which nobody mentioned. That totaled $9.99....so my "à la carte" meal that should have been $14.04, was instead $22.98....we didn't realize til we had already paid and left. CHECK YOUR BILLS! read more

Food is best in the Burg! Street tacos, enchiladas and beef hard tacos were fantastic, as was the beans and perfect rice. The warm tortilla chips were good, the salsa was ok til I added hot sauce. We went for lunch and their specials make the whole experience very affordable. We will definitely be back! Sorry forgot to take photos but the food presentation made it look even better read more

Finest Mexican food and fancy drinks I've had in many years I must say and we tried 4 different items. Everything was served hot and was very flavorful. Staff was very attentive and even offered tasting samples of their high end drinks. Next time I pass through this area I will make it a point to eat at Don Julio's restaurant!! read more

the servers were attentive the food was bomb, although the chips could be thinner and they ran out of white sauce, the margs were 10000/10 w the paletas the music was a vibe too read more

The chips tasted like rancid cooking oil. The margaritas had little tequila if any. Service was extremely slow (server was either new or under the influence of something. Food was good besides the chips. Ambiance was fine. read more

This place was beautiful & authentically decorated. The margaritas were great, esp. the jalapeño ones and the food was delicious & very reasonably priced. Our bartender/waiter, DannyBoy, was the best! read more

Always get something different each time I come here and it never disappoints! The entire staff always makes sure everything is good.

This place is family owned and they invested a lot of themselves in the decor; especially the custom paint work and little murals on the chairs & booths. Our server, Diana, was terrific and made our visit very nice. She was very complementary and took great care of us. The food was delicious especially the white salsa dip for the chips. It's their own special recipe. The food was prepared correctly and everything we had was delicious. Definitely give this place a visit and ask for Diana. She is amazing! read more

It was good. The food was good. Ambiance was ok. Service was good. Salsa is very spicy, chips were good

Last visit, in both senses of the word, was miserable. The server was great. However , after the initial greeting it took a good long while to get the usual chips and salsa. When they arrived, the chips were cold and stale. At this point, with no order being taken yet, we elected to leave. If it was this bad, no sense ordering food and risking further disappointment. An earlier by visit wasn't this bad but by no means was it remarkable. There is PLENTY of better Mexican food near this place, so explore other options before dining here. read more

Food was delicious! Try the raspberry hot sauce!! It's so good ! Good service and great food!

Wasn't expecting much stop for an overnight rest during a long road trip because it was next to the hotel we stopped at and didn't want to get back in car. Ambiance nice - the place was cheerfully dressed for Christmas. Wait staff very nice very polite. It seems like the staff helps each other out which I always like. Food very reasonable priced and tasty! Steak was a little on the fatty side but had a great taste to it. Enjoyed our meal. Portions big - bigger than expected for the price. Good meal after a long day of driving. Would def go again when in the area. read more

It's unfortunate when the Taco Bell crowd goes to a great Mexican restaurant like this and misunderstands or doesn't appreciate what they're getting. This is very authentic Mexican food and spices served by a family that obviously cares about the quality of what they serve. And the margaritas are delicious too! lol. But seriously, you can't go wrong if you want authentic Mexican food at nd not just another Taco Bell. read more

Service was five stars!!! They were so friendly and attentive!! The margarita was so fresh and looked like a vacation. We had a fajita quesadilla- DELICIOUS!! Highly recommend read more

Food was cold and servers took too long and barely checked the table. even a glass of water was something that seemed to take too long. the ambiance was nice, something you normally see in Mexican restaurants. I just am disappointed in the fact that I went there twice and had a bad experience both times. read more

The vinyl on the seat was peeling and cracked. The chips had a strange chemical taste. The food was bland and not impressive.

We went exploring for a Mexican Restaurant that we'd never visited. What drew us to this one were the festive bunting flags hanging from the outside! We stepped out of the car and were greeted with loud festive Mexican music playing which made it feel like a party! The staff were amazingly friendly and the owner stopped by and chatted with us, even making us a special jalapeno skinny margarita for two. The chips were hot, airy and crispy perfection and the salsa was fantastic! The hot Spinach Queso dip was to die for! (I waited until the servers were out of sight before scraping up the last bit with a spoon and eating it by itself!). The lunch special Fajitas were a surprisingly large portion for such a low price, and the Chili Rellanos were heavenly. The only thing that raised my eyebrows was the 'convenience fee' of nearly $3 listed underneath my margarita on the bill. Still not quite sure why that was there. For the fun atmosphere, friendly staff (our server was a sweetheart!) and diverse menu, we'll definitely be going back! For their sake, I wish the restaurant were visible from the main drag - but please seek it out.. it's totally worth it! read more

This place is awesome and the food has great flavor. I've been here twice with my family and we all enjoyed the food and the service.

if you want a great restaurant to go don is the place to go really good drinks and food was great and when you go ask for Danny he was an amazing sever he got a few tricks up his sleeve!!! read more

Ordered steak fajita and some other entrees. It was cold and we did not receive tortillas for the fajitas. Called them up and they asked if I would like to drive there to pick some up. I replied of course not you have ruined my dinner. I deserve a refund. read more

Food was great so was ambiance. Kids loved the virgin daiquiris with lights!! Authentic Mexican food.

I have NEVER had Mexican food I couldn't eat, until today. This was the worst Mexican Food I have ever had. Whatever spice they use in their meats and food in general, maybe ginger, is horrible. I took three bites of my meal and requested my check and left. I wouldn't recommend Don Julio's restraint in Fredericksburg, Va. to anyone. Additionally, I ordered a beer and told my server I wouldn't order my food until after I drank it. Different servers/staff came by my table no fewer than 8 times asking me if I wanted to place my order, to the point that I got annoyed! Terrible food and service, it's a NOGO for me! save your money and go and get something you can eat like Taco Bell. joking on the Taco Bell comment. read more

I have been here at least a dozen times since they opened. The food and the service is always excellent. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

I just wanted to tell you about my experience....So it was my boyfriend's and I anniversary, and we originally decided to go to the Mexican restaurant where we had our first date, but this place was closer to home after a long day's work.... Well, we walk in and stand at the door for a good 15 minutes waiting for someone to acknowledge us (the restaurant is empty). Finally, we are seated... We sit there another 15 minutes before the server comes to the table. He asked for our drink order (he speaks no English), which is fine, but how is he supposed to understand us? My boyfriend orders a margarita, and I order a soda. A young girl comes back to the table and says We don't have a bartender, and we don't know how to make drinks... so I say, well, can you just pour a shot of something? She says No... oooook... So, we order our food ...my boyfriend orders a chicken chimichanga ... and I order Texana con pollo, which is basically cheesy rice with chicken steak and shrimp on top ... the server brings our food. My boyfriend's food is wrong. It's not chicken... It's definitely beef ... My food is wrong ... I got a burrito with sliced cheese on top that looked like it has been thrown in the microwave. YUCK ... I tried to be polite as possible and tell them it was wrong ...They didn't act phased or concerned .. So, I tried to make the best of it and eat it anyway... My plate didn't have any cheesy rice, which was supposed to come with my meal ...so I asked for some ... and was charged for it .. So, when it came time to leave and pay, I asked the young lady if she could take it off the bill because it was supposed to come with the meal .. she said she couldn't do that because there was no manager there... So, at this point, I'm irritated. My food is disgusting. I didn't eat any of it .. and now I'm going to pay extra for something that was included in my meal... I said I'm not paying for the rice, and she rudely says you don't have to pay for anything and rips up the receipt .... I do not recommend this place highly unprofessional ... Elcharro was wayyyy better!! Thanks for ruining what was supposed to be a special moment!!!! read more

I love the lunch specials. The staff and ambiance are always great. You can never go wrong.
