    Tl;dr: Decent food for the price, menu selection is good, service is fast, water is crisp and they have free WiFi! I always look into supporting local restaurants and businesses whenever I visit a place I haven't been before so with that said, take my review with a grain of salt. The good: Decent amount of servings for the price, bang for your buck type of thing, most of the customers were asking for to go boxes. The place is big with plenty of tables and seats, good for big groups. Our server was very pleasant. Their menu is extensive, lots to choose from. Their water is seriously crisp tasting. Parking lot has ample parking. Some would argue that it's pricey but for its location logistically, it's justifiable. The not so good: Our food tasted like watered down Mexican food, not enough seasoning on anything, the rice, beans and meat all tasted like they were made to season it by your own self. It was actually a little hilarious since I'm guessing they are trying to cater to tourists/out of towners, it's a safe bet to under-season the food than have too much. The lack of cilantro on anything is a great indication of that. Again, the food isn't terrible. However, as I was about to finish my beans and rice, I tasted soap from one of the edges of my plate. They need to reevaluate their cleaning agents since a few moments after that plate taste mystery, the smell of the cleaning agent used to clean the tables on the other room emanated in the entire diner area. It looks like they're using scented Clorox in a spray bottle, like the ones you buy from Target (they have those in the restrooms too). It's great to have a well sanitized dining area but the smell was off putting and overpowering. Both restrooms have A LOT of signs/reminders on its walls to keep it clean but there were no hand soap and the other one was out of toilet paper. They both looked and smelled clean though. Will I visit again? The short list of restaurant options will most likely not make me consider coming back here if I was traveling solo or with my partner. But, if I am with a big group, sure. Like I said, the food isn't that bad and the place is good for big groups especially if yours is a mix of picky eaters and no frills individuals.

    After a morning of hiking in Burney, my friends and I came to Julio's for a lunch and it really hit the spot. I got the shredded beef enchilada lunch special which came with the rice and beans as well. I wasn't expecting much, but it was delicious, and really stacks up to other Mexican restaurants I've been to. I was also impressed by the number of options on the menu. It was so hard to choose what I wanted! The waiters were really nice. They did take longer at times, but nothing too long. I would definitely recommend this spot for those visiting Burney.

    This is their version of a spinach omelette. Menu had no mention of red sauce.

    We searched for a place with breakfast, not easy to find one. Sadly many places have closed for various reasons. 2 stars because, though my breakfast was not edible, the basic 2 egg breakfast others had was fine. Service was poor.. once plates were brought, you won't see them again . I ordered a spinach omelette. Menu listed.. eggs, spinach, peppers, onions & cheese. What I got was eggs, filled with peppers, onion, and very little spinach. On top of the eggs was cheese and the omelette drenched in red sauce, assuming salsa. I asked 3 times.. this is spinach omelette? It sounded like he said Spanish, which is what it looked like. He assured me it was spinach. Told him the menu didn't list salsa poured all over it . I was told it's spinach and away he went. We never saw another server again! I couldn't eat it as the salsa looked like it was 1/2 grease and my omelette was floating in it I had a slice of toast. I did re-check the menu....no mention of salsa or sauce. Basic breakfast of bacon & eggs is fine. Best to order Mexican food or prepare for your order to become a Mexican dish. Upon leaving, we saw our waitress out back washing her car ‍

    Overall, the experience here was nice. The food was very good and delicious. The wait time was a bit longer than expected, but okay. The staff weren't exactly friendly but not exactly unfriendly. We were glad to find this place to eat regardless. There weren't many open places for sit down open on a Monday, and this place was still likely the best option in town (that wasn't burgers, Subway, or pizza). We might still try it again if we're in the area again.

    After trying Chile Relleno, Chorizo and Eggs, Enchiladas, etc. I had a yearning for good Carnitas, so a trip to Julio's was needed. Lunch special Carnitas Burrito was excellent as expected. Came with a large plate full of ho hum beans and rice.

    I've learned to not trust Yelp for business info, but then again, sometimes a business's website is…read morewrong too. We wanted to make reservations for dinner on a Thursday but no one answered the phone. We decided to head over to the restaurant a few minutes before we planned to dine with friends only to discover they weren't open and a hand lettered writing on the door said they were closed Thursdays and Sundays. We did return the next evening, now knowing that they would be open on Friday. The restaurant shares an entryway with a popular bar. It was amusing watching people enter the main door and then turn one way or the other to enter a business, only to realize they want the other door. I saw a few families with little kids start towards the bar and then turn to the restaurant. Groups in motorcycle jackets did the reverse. A signboard at the entrance to the restaurant invites customers to choose a table and then help themselves to chips and salsa. My husband and I split an entrée and it was more then enough for the both of us. Portion sizes are generous. The food was very good. Much better than Casa Ramos or Puerto Vallarta. If you want Mexican food in Mount Shasta, stay away from those chains and go to La Perla for a much better meal at reasonable prices to boot. We enjoyed the background music, with songs from the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Paul Simon, The Proclaimers.

    Walking in the place was quiet and clean. We immediately got chips and salsa, and I ordered guac on…read morethe side. The guac was okay it just tasted like avocado so we put a little bit of salt and lime. The carne asada tacos were cooked perfect! Our server was really nice and sweet. Had a great time!
