Went to the Julio's chip factory. The tacos were big. They were good, but nothing special. Each taco was served with a handful of Julio's chips on the plate. I love those! I would go back if I was in Del Rio. read more

Service was good. Restrooms were very gross. Food was mid, would not go back though. Salsa was good

Stopped by on my way out of visiting Del Rio to get some chips. I had never tried the jalapeño and queso chips, wow so good! Original seasoned chips always good. They will box up a big order and very reasonable price. read more

Good food and prices. Huge portions. They make their own chips and salsa that sells at grocery stores.

I picked up a bag of these awesome chicharrones (pork rinds) off the shelf at Walmart and they were amazing. Crispy, airy, tasty with just a little bit of zing to them. The bag is dated and yes, they were fresh. This was great and completely fitting into my keto diet. Yum! [Review 16004 overall - 192 in Texas - 1509 of 2021.] read more

The food was pretty good no got the carne asada tacos- chips and salsa was pretty good. One of the better places we've been here in Del Rio.

Ordered a bacon and egg plate, with eggs over medium. Before my food came, I was informed that "the eggs and bacon were mixed together". I acceded. What I wound up with was an "IKEA breakfast taco"! A pile of scrambled eggs (with bacon mixed in) a group of potatoes, a stack of beans, a mess of crunchy bacon chunks, and two tortillas. As is Julio's normal practice none of it - except the tortillas - was really hot. I built a single taco. By the time I got it done, everything was cold. I ate the DIY taco and then proceeded to choke down the rest. Cold eggs, cold bacon, cold beans, cold potatoes. The good thing was, it made the mediocre coffee taste better. (But not enough for a second cup.) Why do I keep doing this to myself? read more

If it wasn't for their mass distribution of chips to grocery stores across the state I would have no clue about this place at all. I recommend trying their various flavors of chips for sure. I stopped in to try out their $15.99 Ribeye.... well... let's just say I can see why their chips are in stores, and not their steaks! If you are wanting mexican food to eat, there are much better options in the area. If you love chips and salsa for your meal... then yes this is your spot! read more

Julio's - Advertising Steak - Tex-Mex Near Me - Del Rio, Texas

This review is for my most recent visit to Julio's during a visit to Del Rio, trying to cure my husband's craving for tacos. We made it in before the lunch crowd, and were taken care of by a helpful, friendly young lady at the counter who answered my husband's questions about the different tacos he was interested in trying. My husband ordered three tacos to go, chicken fajita, guisado and brisket. Each plate came with a side of Julio's Corn Chips and small portion of salsa. The tacos came just as he requested, with the chicken fajita being his favorite. For someone not familiar with guisado, he was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the ground beef and cheese. The brisket taco was a bit underwhelming. The tacos came in flour tortillas in case you're expecting hard shell tacos. The Julio's Corn Chips have been a family favorite for years but it's nice to know the food they offer is good too. read more

Do you LOVE Julio's Corn Chips like we do? If so; get in hee to taste that delicious seasoning on the corn shell of a hard taco!! Yummy! I had the Mexican Plate; 3 enchiladas (I chose 2 chicken and 1 beef), a crispy taco (I picked beef), and excellent beans & rice. My son Pancho loved the Tampiqueno Plate, because it pretty much had one of everything! No alcohol, serve yourself soft-drinks. Order at the counter, pick a table, and they bring the food to your table. Buy a bag of Julio's Corn Chips while you are here! read more

In town on business. Best food I have had so far. Chips are good, but the salsa is SALTY AF. order a plate and was satisfied. This place could use some cleaning, but over all not bad. 7/10. 06/24/2022 3pm read more

This is the place where they make those phenomenal chips sold at Wal-Mart, H-E-B and your other fine retailers..... it's a full fledged restaurant with dining room and a drive thru and all. But omg... the kind of service that makes you feel like you're a terrible person for even coming to bother them wanting things! How dare you !? Like, seriously, the service was so rude. The food was good. Not something I'd clamor on about or tell other people to try. I was just so put off by the attitudes of the people there that I didn't even want to eat. read more

We ate here first after moving to Del Rio. It's a colorful, fun, and clean restaurant with good food and great service.

Small place. Order out the counter and then they bring it to your table. I read the reviews, so I knew to ask for Chips and Salsa. SO glad we did. I LOVED the chips (MSG and all). I bought a bag (and some salsa) to take with us on our journey to the Chili Cook-off in Terlingua. I also bought some cinnamon chips, but we didn't like those as much. The food was good, everyone in my party enjoyed their meal. read more

I wasn't planning on stopping in to eat here but I'm glad my husband made the choice for us. It is a cozy dining room where you can choose your own seats. To start off with you get FREE Julio's chips and salsa and free drink refills. The chips did. not disappoint... I had way too many but it was worth it. Husband had the tacos tapatíos and they were AMAZING... I ate most of them and I'm glad he was willing to share. I'm so glad we chose Julio's and you can buy fresh chips and salsa in the same place. read more

The enchiladas were good. The taste is different than most places I've had it at! (Pass on the cheese enchilada though, I thought the chicken and beef were much better) Saw reviews of the chips and salsa and had to buy some but they were a bit underwhelming... More like 2 stars - I would not enthusiastically go find it at the local heb. The "standard" mild salsa was watery and tasted like tomato sauce with some salt. The chips were okay, with seasoning that's not very evenly coated. read more

Fantastic chips and salsa, of course. But sadly, I'd skip on the restaurant. The food was mediocre Tex-mex food. We'll continue to buy the chips but won't dine at the establishment. read more

It had been a while since I had eaten here so I decided to give it another chance. Big mistake. Food is terrible. Everything was way too salty. The guisado is supposedly the best in Del Rio. Absolutely not. Probably the worst guisado I have ever eaten. The portions are big but I feel they are big so the customer can overlook the quality of the food. Julio's needs to stick to making chips and salsa.. read more

Yes and I got food poisoning from that place, I had diarrhea for 3 days now . Breakfast Burritos read more

I totally forgot that Del Rio was the home of Julio's Chips y Salsa. When I found out there was a little restaurant attached to the factory I said SIGN ME UP! We went for breakfast a little after 8. We were the only ones there. It stated to pick up around 9. There were also several call in orders while we were there. Walk in and order at the counter. Then sit at a table of your choice. The server said the tacos were big, so I ordered one...it's easy to order another if I needed more! Call me lame, but I ordered bean and cheese add jalapeños. It was delish!! M ordered two tacos: opas smoked sausage & salsa and the barbacoa. He said one would have been enough for him. (We have been better about our portions and haven't been eating as much soooo.....) Our plates came with Julio's Chips. The server also brought us some chips and salsa before our meal came out. She was really nice and welcoming. I asked about the chips and she explained what all could be purchased and the differences. We explained we weren't from around here. She offered to let us taste some of the other chips and salsas not sold in stores. I also confirmed in the conversation that the chips were being made right there in that building. SO COOL!!! (You can also see the trucks getting loaded up for distribution in the back.) While we were there I observed different happenings. If you want coffee they have a few coffee mugs if you don't want a styrofoam cup. That was a nice offering in my opinion. I overheard a possible reservation for later...maybe the evening they get busy (Saturday night?!?). Not a great deal of seating. There is enclosed patio seating but I did not check it out. Realized when left that there's a drive through. (Not what we wanted, but if you are looking for that...now you know!) I liked being able to buy chips, salsa and other Julio's items there as well....especially the items not sold in store like the Freakin Hot Chips. YUM!! Overall it's pretty cool. We enjoy eating local when we travel and this really hit everything we were looking for. Tacos were awesome. Chips and Salsa you could taste the freshness. Service was friendly & informative. Environment was nostalgic. It was for sure a smart choice to make a stop here before heading out of town. read more

Sorry if this is too long but i have to put my honest review. My family and I were very hungry so we came here to eat lunch. We're not from around the area so we decided to pick the nearest restaurant. We entered and it was a bit filthy and the pictures on the menu didn't look all that appetizing . When we finished ordering, we sat down and the food didn't take too long to bring to the table. When i started eating, the food was rather cold and kind of soggy as if it was out for a long time. The milanesa was really the only fresh and good tasting thing that we ordered out of 6 dishes. read more

Excellent food! The service was fast and the waitress was super friendly. The restaurant was clean.

Huge delicious portions! Order at the counter and then get seated. Friendly staff. You won't leave hungry.

I have friends from Del Rio, and friends who now live in Del Rio who have told me this place was just 'Meh'. I decided to try for myself since I do enjoy Julio's Chips every once in a blue moon. We were kind of in a hurry and just wanted a sample of what the restaurant had to offer. First of all we had great difficulty trying to find the place. Highway 90 EAST going toward Laughlin AFB and NOT toward the lake. Ok, so apparently part of the family was having lunch there because all these Mexicans kept coming in and they all knew each other and all the workers. A good portion of them ordered hamburgers wtf! Lol! That is the first sign (if you're at a mex/tex-mex place and brown people are ordering burgers) to gtfo as quickly as you can. We had the super pericos w/beef fajita meat. They were ok, but it all tasted like Julio's Chips seasoning.......:/ read more

I was excited to come to a border town for work. I was thinking the food must be good, but I've been disappointed twice now. Julio's is alright, but it's not impressive at all. I get better Mexican food in the piedmont of North Carolina than I do in Del Rio Texas. Overall Julio's is alright. read more

If you would like to wait 30 minutes for cold food and horrible customer service, Julios is the place to go. Not only did I wait that long for a simple order but they decorated my plate with onions even though I specifically asked for no onions. read more

The food was good, not great, but the value was outstanding. Their homemade corn tortilla chips have a unique spicing, wisely kept subtle. Still, a solid choice if you're hungry and don't want to spend too much. read more

I would not waste my time ordering anything other than a bag sealed full of chips. Going to the drive-through getting your plate and it was all soggy taco very disgusting read more

This place has been a staple in our family for more than twenty years! I recently went back for lunch and it was as good as ever! Small, quaint, and family-owned, Julio's offers a very good menu and any option is stellar. However, Julio's is known for their signature corn chips - the finest I've ever tasted! The seasoning is fantastic and I always grab several bags for friends and family. Definitely worth the trip, if not for the chips alone! read more

We love Julio's Tortilla Chips, so when we heard they had a restaurant we knew we had to go. It didn't disappoint. Traditional Tex-Mex but with Julio's seasoning and chips. My favorite was the crunchy taco. It's shell was covered in the Julio's seasoning like it was a big Julio's chip. Same thing with the chalupa. The enchiladas was the least favorite thing I got. But that might have been because they couldn't find a way to use a Julio's chip in making it. The drink choices are a little lacking. And the bathroom is a single unisex room, so there can be a wait if there's a crowd. But on the whole we loved our experience. And you will too. read more

Driving by this place we saw all the cars in the parking lot. We figured that it must be good. Ordering at a counter and food bought to the table. The staff was very nice and the menu on the wall. My husband ordered the enchilada platter and I ordered two tacos and nachos. The order was so large. Tacos are huge. If I would've known they were that large we would've shared. The chips were very tasty and we purchased them to take home. If you're hungry eat at julios. read more

Fantastic chips!!! Decent salsa. Just ok food. We asked if they could make our tacos with corn tortillas instead of flour and they still served them with flour. Guisado is a safe choice. read more

I'm perplexed at the mediocrity of many of this town's Mexican restaurants (though maybe I just haven't looked hard enough), given our proximity to the border. While Julio's isn't head and shoulders better than some of these other restaurants, some small differences make it noteworthy. Most importantly, they make their own tortillas from scratch, as in, they grind their own corn. In fact, their primary business is their corn chips, which are sold in all of the supermarkets in Del Rio and as far away as San Antonio. Their trademark is the seasoning they put on the chips, which makes them more like a Dorito than a traditional tortilla chip. People either love the seasoning or hate it, but personally I think it works well with their salsa, though I do wish it was possible to buy the chips without the seasoning. You would think that because they're pumping out so many of these chips, they could afford to give them away as free appetizers before the meal, like so many other Mexican restaurants, but they instead charge a couple of bucks for them while you wait. It's not a dealbreaker, but interesting nonetheless. The restaurant isn't very big - more of a dining room, really - with a handful of tables in the front of the factory. The meals were fairly cheap, though I found the food to be on par with most other Mexican cuisine in town. I feel the refried beans to be noteworthy, as they include a fair amount of jalapeno which gives them a satisfying bite. The dining room doubles as a store, where you can buy giant bags of their chips at a wholesale price. Given how brittle these chips are, however, I wouldn't recommend it, as the bigger the bag produces the larger amount of crumbled chips at the bottom. I like Julio's because they're amongst the only real Del Rio businesses, and I like to support the local economy. The fact that the chips and salsa are pretty good doesn't hurt, either. When newcomers ask where to go for some good Mexican, Julio's is often an answer they're likely to receive. read more
