    Stopped in for lunch with my vision after watching some soccer. Our waitress Rebecca was phenomenal. So patient,approachable and attentive. I ordered the taco salad with stew chicken out was so fresh and I love the taco bowl it was crispy. My cousin got the chicken enchiladas with poblano sauce. We started with the pineapple margarita but something about it was just off so we sent it back and got the straw margarita which was refreshing and delicious. I usually love margarita on the rocks and I love pineapple but that drink was salty and not sweet it almost felt like the pineapple juice used was bad. Decent location decent parking and good service.

    Would return 2 o'clock on Friday (happy hour is from 2-5) Willy was our server- he was very good. We both order the sampler ($18) It comes with 2 chicken quesadillas slices (good, seasoned) 2 steak fajita nachos 2 taquitos 2 southwest egg rolls cut in 1/2 (4 pieces) I wouldn't have to have the sampler again, but it was good. We had the queso loco ($13) I wouldn't have to have to have it again, but if the table ordered, that would be fine. The caddy margarita frozen is better than on the rocs (stronger). I had both. They were $6.88 on Happy Hour. Strawberry sparkler with Prosecco ($15-17 range). It's good, as well. Guacamole HITS - and the green sauce they bring that may be also guacamole based. The salsa was good as well.

    Update 12-11-2023 I'm a man of second chances and with that being said, so I decided to dine in at Gringos to try the Pollo El Dorado! OMG that dish was outstanding!! My order was accurately taken by Romeo which provided marvelous customer service! The chicken was very tender and the chipotle cream sauce stunning! I hate that this is only on their menu for a short time (leaves on 12/31/2023) I will be visiting them again before this dish leaves! Pollo El Dorado consists of Chipotle cream sauce sautéed with sausage, spinach, mushrooms & avocado, atop a grilled chicken breast - served with pico de gallo

    Borracho beans. Only filled cup less than 1/2 way and there were very few beans.

    I guess the biggest mistake I made was ordering at a time when my pick up time (3:54pm) was close to a shift change. My order was a Zapata dinner and queso. The biggest disappointment was the boracho beans. It was more like a soup where I struggled to even find beans. I think it had 5-6. The container was less than 1/2 full to begin with...What a joke. While I understand with inflation the prices have gone up, I don't think I would pay another $26.35 for this meal again. It wasn't worth driving for. Giving 2 bags of chips doesn't fool me.

    Hot curbside order. Shrimp empanadas were great. Fajitas were very good also, and they did not cost nearly as much as Papacitos.

I gave it a try by getting a mixed plate with different items so I could try a little bit of everything. My dad got the same thing but a this different mixed plate and we agreed to share and taste each others food. The cheese enchiladas were good. They're made with chili gravy. The chicken flauta was good. I wasn't a fan of the beans and rice nor the Chile Relleno. The cheese is just shredded mozzarella basically not the actual cheesy find in a Chile Relleno. The stuffed avocado was too fried for me and way too much cheese. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas and the restrooms are super clean, which is always a plus for any restaurant. Unfortunately, we had some issues with our server, lots of miscommunication and a huge language barrier. In the end, I'm starting to wonder if he was just new because he didn't even know how to operate his own payment system. Unfortunately, I won't be returning, but I know a lot of people like this food and restaurant based on other ratings so I say try it for yourself.

TLDR: Thar food, those ritas. This place has become my most recent go-to when that little voice says - "pssst....Dave....Dave....i know you hear me....you want fajitas." Admittedly, I hear that voice a lot. In any case, I usually order the fajitas. They give you a decent quantity that tastes great. The meet is tender and flavorful and those tortillas had me at hello. I love this stuff! My son elects to go for the cheese enchiladas. I don't have to ask him how much he likes them because is a super picky eater and this is the one place where he actually cleans his plate. The margaritas are solid as well and when you glance around the restaurant, you'll see them on most tables. This place is a well oiled machine. There are plenty of staff and they all work unison to bring drinks / chips / salsa / refills / orders / food -- and that food usually comes out before I can feel guilty for eating chips, salsa, and queso. I found this trick that works for me. Since I 100% of the time feel guilty for leaving the place feeling so full, I started parking on the other end of the parking lot. This allows my to burn off 2.7 calories of the food that just ate so I feel 2.7 percent less guilty. On a serious note - this place is the real deal. While some of my previous favorites have either closed down or gone downhill a bit - Julio's has remained strong. ¡Salud!
