    Consistently good Mexican food, great service, and a nice bar setup serving executive frozen Margaritas.

    So this was interesting one. We took a big group up to Joe Wheeler to look around the park and…read morewere hungry for lunch before we went home. One in our party had been here before and recommended we stop here. This is a restaurant serving both Mexican and Japanese food, though I wouldn't call it fusion. Both are fairly Americanized Mexican and Japanese dishes (think chicken and cheese on rice, and hibachi with all manner of meats and "yum yum" sauce), but it's a large menu and it had something for everyone, so it was a good fit for our quite large group. We arrived not long after opening and so they were able to seat us without any trouble -- I believe there were 11 of us total. The restaurant is large and was somewhat dimly lit but inviting enough. The bathroom was tidy despite being a little stinky. There's a large bar toward the back and it looked like there was space for dancing or musical acts. Service was efficient and friendly and patient with several party members' special requests. They also handled our many separate checks with skill. Chips and salsa came right out. The salsa was actually a highlight for me; it was surprisingly tasty and flavorful with a tiny bit of heat. Better than the average Americanized Mexican food salsa. We got a mix of items, though I think we leaned more heavily Mexican dishes. I got the Pollo Lucy off their relatively affordable lunch special menu. It's your standard chicken, cheese dip, and rice, with bonus salsa verde offered in a small squirt bottle. Although this isn't my preferred "style" of Mexican food, this was fairly good for what it was, particularly the chicken. It had a pleasant texture and was well cooked and seasoned. The rice, unfortunately, was overcooked and quite mushy and flavorless. Fortunately, that's where the copious amount of cheese dip comes in handy, lol. I liked the salsa verde and shared it with another dining companion who needed a little more umph in the taco salad she ordered. No one really raved about the food but no one really complained, either, hence the so so rating. I do appreciate the accommodations they made to ensure the two younger kids in our party would have something they liked to eat (making a plain bean burrito, serving plain cheese dip over rice, etc). That was really nice of them. Again, not really my preferred "style" of Mexican OR Japanese food for that matter, but solid enough, especially given the relative dearth of options in the area.

    We stopped by here on whim because we were interested to see one restaurant serving Mexican and…read moreJapanese food. We weren't disappointed. The food was really good and the service was awesome. They brought chips and salsa to the table as most Mexican restaurants do. There weren't any Japanese appetizers but they do serve Japanese entrees. I had the Chili Relleno with rice and beans. My husband had the mixed vegetable Teriyaki. Both entrees were very good. Service was quick and the staff were very friendly. I would definitely eat here again

    After a brief visit to the area, I checked out Yelp to find a new restaurant to try besides the…read moreusual fast food choices. Yelp did not disappoint with Julia's. Upon arrival, I marveled at the beautiful decor and how fast we were greeted and seated. Our server Joshua, was attentive and quickly placed our drink orders. The complimentary salsa was some of the best I've had. The salsa was chilled perfectly and very fresh. The veggies were perfectly chopped and crunchy just how I like it. My virgin daiquiri was great as well and was very eye-pleasing. After placing our food order, it did not take long to come out. Both of us agreed that our food was pretty good overall. My friend wasn't overly impressed. He said it wasn't anything to write home about. My quesadilla was a little...watery...not sure if it was from the meat or the veggies. I've had better to be honest. But overall, I would definitely visit here again to try another dish. If you're in the area, check out Julia's Mexican Restaurant.

    We really enjoyed our early dinner at Julia's. We ordered margaritas and Modelo for drinks and my…read morebeer came in a fun glass boot. The mains were Hawaiian Chicken, Enchiladas and Twin Burritos. Huge portions and delicious. Service is perfect and atmosphere is groovy, with low-lighting and artistic touches everywhere. We will go back soon. Broad selection on the menu makes us excited to try new dishes.
