The is a great Tex-Mex restaurant! First of all, they serve Puffy tacos, in the San Antonio style. Few restaurants can prepare these the proper way. There is great QC, AND management, here. Julio's wife, Elena, stopped by the table and checked in the food. She also told us of a wrestling event that was coming up on May 1. She was SO pleasant. Our server, Freddy, got the order in perfectly, even though there were 7 of us. The prices were reasonable. The food again was spot on. We WILL return! BTW, the watermelon margarita was wonderful!

In Texas - the Tex-Mex competition is fierce. Everyone has a favorite. This place just bumped my previous favorite from its perch and became current favorite. 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! read more

Julio's Mexican Grill - Queso Flameado - Mexican Near Me - Spring, Texas

Julio's Mexican Grill - A Solid Tex-Mex Spot in the Houston Area Overall Rating: 4.5/5 Julio's Mexican Grill (with popular locations in Magnolia and Spring, Texas) is one of those reliable neighborhood Tex-Mex joints that hits the spot when you're craving bold flavors, generous portions, and that classic sizzling fajita vibe. It's not trying to reinvent the wheel--it's straightforward, fresh, and consistently delicious, with a menu rooted in authentic touches from regions like Michoacan and Yucatan. The atmosphere is casual and family-friendly, service is usually quick and welcoming, and the margaritas (especially the swirls or specialty ones like the Voodoo) are a standout--strong, tasty, and perfect for washing down the heat. I recently stopped in for a quick lunch and went straight for their Supreme Fajita Chicken Nachos (you can often upgrade the standard Supreme Nachos to fajita chicken for a small upcharge). If you're a nacho lover like me, these are an absolute winner. The base starts with thick, sturdy corn tortilla chips that hold up beautifully under the mountain of toppings--no soggy disasters here. They're layered with creamy refried beans, a blanket of melted Monterey Jack (or cheddar blend), and tender, juicy grilled fajita chicken that's perfectly seasoned with that smoky char from the grill. Then come the classics: fresh lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños for a kick, a dollop of cool sour cream, and creamy guacamole on the side. Sometimes you'll get grilled onions and peppers mixed in if it's a true fajita-style upgrade, adding that extra sizzle and sweetness. What elevates these nachos to "supreme" status is the balance--everything is fresh and plentiful without feeling greasy or overwhelming. The chicken is the star: moist, flavorful, and not dried out like you get at some chains. The cheese pulls in all the right ways, and the portion is huge (easily shareable or a full meal on its own). Paired with their house salsa (mild or hot--go hot if you dare) and queso for dipping, it's pure comfort food bliss. At around $12-15 depending on the upgrade, it's a steal. Minor nitpick: On busier nights, the kitchen can get slammed, so the chips might cool off a bit by the time they hit the table if you're not diving in immediately. But that's rare, and the flavors more than make up for it. If you're in the Magnolia/Spring/The Woodlands area, Julio's is worth a visit (or delivery--they nail takeout too). The fajitas are legendary, the tortillas are homemade heaven, but those Supreme Fajita Chicken Nachos? They're my new go-to order. Highly recommend--your taste buds will thank you! read more

Stopped by here to try out the viral soft serve margaritas & man that margarita did not disappoint! I got the swirl option and it was delicious. You can definitely taste the alcohol immediately. For my meal, I got the botana platter which came with a bunch of different appetizers. Everything was delicious for the most part. I feel like the flautas and some other things could've had more flavor though. The ambiance is nice & service was just okay. Kinda was slow bc I had to wait a little while for my check but overall, I'd come back again. Especially for the margaritas. read more

I had a good experience at Julio's Mexican grill. The food was good and the lunch specials were great! I got a lot of food for the price I stopped by Julio's on a weekday for lunch. I'm lucky I got there a bit early because it got packed quick!! Although I see why - the lunch deal was great. I got a chimichanga. It was so much food!! The flavor was ok, pretty one note, but that's what I ordered :) I liked the refried beans and chips + salsa. No complaints from me. Service was a bit slow - however our server noted that they were a bit understaffed. Bathroom and interior were all clean and nice. Plenty of parking Overall, good experience, no complaints read more

The food was delicious! I ordered the Mahi Mahi tacos and they were on point. My spouse ordered the tamales and there was nothing left on his plate. From the outside it looks small, but much bigger inside. Clean restrooms and friendly staff. However our waiter took a bit of time to take our order and it wasn't busy. However overall great food and would recommend if you're craving Mexican food! read more

I visited this mini chain during happy hour which goes til 7 fridays and all day Mon-Thurs and took advantage of a house large margarita just 6.99. As far as location, I've never even seen this restaurant before driving down Rayford because it's hidden at the back corner of a shopping center far from the street. This particular location receives the highest yelp rating of the 3 locations, currently 4.2. Some items you don't see regularly on other tex mex restaurant menus include carne asada fries and several chicken dishes including chicken fried chicken. For food though, the ground beef puffy tacos were recommended so I tried that. Chips and salsa - red is served hot and its good. Green is cool and refreshing. Margarita - a lime margarita that is pretty strong. Puffy tacos - these were pretty good and served on a stainless steel taco tray. The tortillas are homemade and it is of course served with rice and beans. I only ate some of the beans. I'm just not a big Mexican rice eater unless it's homemade and made perfectly. The beans were decent. I was taking a while to eat my tacos, and kept seeing people order a frozen strawberry maragrita (since I was sitting at the bar) and decided to go ahead and order one, but on the rocks. The strawberry puree was pretty good and overall this was pretty good for being a flavored on the rocks margarita. Overall, this is a decent place to grab happy hour. It's more family owned atmosphere than a large chain with fancy decor and architectural features. This location is just 1-2 tenant spaces within a strip center with brick accent wall in the bar area but colorful walls everywhere else. Apparently every 4th Thursday they have Loteria in the evening, so something to check out if you like winning prizes. read more

First time coming here and it was solid. I would highly recommend the flautas, they were delicious. Tacos and quesadillas were good as well. The only downside was the rice. It did not represent authentic Spanish rice or red rice to me. Services was good, friendly, and timely. I would recommend. read more

Yassss! Finally found a decent Mexican restaurant in The W and Spring area. I had to pick up my orfer and to my surprise when I got home, I said jackpot!!! I found the spot! My burrito looked so good and huge. It had enchilada sauce, burrito and it was enormous. Just like how we like it back home in CA. I will definitely go back for more and to try other things.

Julio's Mexican Grill - Supreme chicken burrito! - Mexican Near Me - Spring, Texas

Decided to try more Mexican food tonight because well one can never get enough queso. Started with the large chili con queso with chorizo. Very cheesy. Not a lot of chorizo but enough. Chips that came with it were kinda chewy. But the complementary chips and salsa that come before the meal were crispy at least. Got the supreme ground beef burrito and the ground beef enchiladas which both tasted pretty identical except one had flour tortilla and the other corn. Same sauce on top etc. Obviously we should've thought harder about mixing it up a little. They were both ok. For desert we had to try the fried ice cream. Was pretty good. I don't think they deep fry the ice cream in batter like other places. It seemed to just be rolled in corn flakes and came in a deep fried sugar sprinkled cup. We saw a birthday and looks like the staff will dress up in Mario and Luigi outfits and come to your table to sing happy birthday. Pretty hilarious. Oh they have a kids menu and it says kids eat free sundays (see pic) read more

We went to this place after a soccer game so it was a party of 13! Took over an hour to get our food! Wouldn't say much about this since it was a lot of us but other people would get there and get their food super fast! Like really fast! But hey it's ok no biggie! Big party I understand. The service was good! Our server was on his A game! ! -We had a cheese ball jalapeño stuffed with shrimp! It was good it needs more shrimp - my son liked the torta de fajita - my enchilada expert my daughter didn't like them she didn't finish them- I wasn't a fan of them either- green enchiladas 3/10 Carne asada fries- 7/10 they were good! But please don't add lettuce- lettuce does not go in pico! Lettuce doesn't go in carne asada fries! Tacos de birria 2/10: the consume was not good! The tacos were not good at all! The meat needs to be better quality- carne de deshebrada is not for birria!!! The service was really good and everyone was nice! The reason for the 3 stars not 2 is because of the drinks !! The drinks were good !! This place is a 2.5/5 read more

To much fun tonight (Thursday) at Julio's! Playing bingo with old TV shows and music. It was lots of fun. Enjoyable sitting at the bar.

Great food and drinks! The service was excellent along with their fresh margaritas! Great outdoor seating.

I stopped here for a quick meal with my daughter. As you can see, we only ordered 3 items which totaled $18.37 and I left an even $4 tip. However, as you can see once I checked my transactions, they had changed my tip and my total was $37.07. I called back 2 days later and the same person who waited on us, answered the phone. She obviously remembered me and says it wasn't on purpose, it was an accident. I guess it's easy to add an extra $14.70 tip to the even $4 I left. I informed her I wanted to speak to the general manager, and she provided me the phone number. I will not be returning to this location at all, the service was ok but the fact that they are so untrust worthy has ruined any chance for me going back. Plus, the outside and the restrooms needed a hard clean. Check your final receipt read more

Recently tried the Spring location, and not long after got to try this Woodlands location. I was super happy because this location has Mole enchiladas on their menu. Anytime I can find these I have to order them. Of course we had to start with margaritas and I got a frozen peach margarita that came with a gummy worm in it. Not sure if that's always how they serve them, but I thought it was cute. We ordered Queso to start with as well which was extremely thick and a little hard to stir up before serving. The flavor was good though. We also tried some type of stuffed shrimp jalapeno appetizer that was good, but each one is massive and just 99% cheese with a piece of shrimp and a sliver of jalapeno. The mole enchiladas were the star of the show and were super delicious and filling. I will definitely be back for these!! read more

Highly recommend the Baja fish tacos. The corn tortillas made in house have great texture and are served HOT.

The food was really good but it took them almost an hour to get it ready from the time we ordered. The folks we were with kept insisting that this had never happened before, but it did on the Friday night when we were there. There were no apologies and no offer of a discount. Nothing from the management to indicate that this was not business as usual. We spent $110 for 4 adults and 2 kids. He food was good but the slow service ruined the night. read more

The Mexican pizza is good. And the cheese dip. The service was good too. The chicken fajitas were moist and delicious.

So this has become our go to location for Tex-Mex because of the consistency and quality of the food. Traditional items are great. Go for the spicy queso and a beer if not in mood for a big meal. read more

Excellent food and service! Will be recommending this place to all my friends and family

Love this place since before it expanded. Fried avocado with extra protein or Birria is my favorite.

I've never had a bad meal here. My favorite item is the Mexican Pizza & every taco on the menu lol. Drinks are amazing. I love the Prickly Pear margarita. We probably come here to eat at least 3-4 times a month. Service is amazing. Love the birthday celebration. The restaurant instantly lights up. Can't say 1 bad thing. read more

Julios is our comfort zone for great Mexican food. The Sawdust location is kind of small and hidden, but definitely not a secret and they've expanded enough that we can usually get a table pretty quickly. The food is consistent and we have lots of delicious favorites. Nothing I love more than an impulsive visit to Julios early in the evening to get a happy hour house margarita that's simple, cheap and delicious (plenty of more elevated options from the bar) and a plate of food that never disappoints. read more

Curiosity brought us here, and from exterior view it appeared as if it was a small taqueria. Once in, it was a good size restaurant with centralized full bar with multiple tele's for news and sports. Was not crowded between lunch and dinner hours, whatever you cal that time. Service was good and ambiance was pleasant. May be this establishment is family friendly, definitely good for medium sized friendly gatherings. Had extensive menu with average prices compared to similar restaurants. Depending on your palate, for us it was too bland and were missing seasonings. Ample parking within shopping center. read more

Finally got to try beef birria tacos! They offer them only on the weekends. I went on a Sunday during lunch time and it was packed so plan accordingly. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side but they also have outside seating. I got chips and salsa to munch on while my entree arrived. The tacos themselves are griddled corn tortillas stuffed with shredded seasoned beef and cheese. They have onions, cilantro, and avocado on the side if you wanted to top them yourself. The broth (consumé) is the liquid that the beef was cooked in, super rich and flavored with spices it was delicious to dip for each bit of my taco. I will love to get these again. Although the staff is quite nice and polite, they are a little understaffed for a lunch rush so be prepared to wait a little for your food. read more

Julio's Mexican Grill - Birria Beef Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Spring, Texas

Our friends recommended coming here for dinner - we'd never been! They have an awesome happy hour from 4-7PM and have a casual environment that is accommodating for families. Our waitress made some great recommendations - we tried the supreme burrito, El tampiqueno combination plate, and the birria tacos. First of all... the chips and salsa that you get in the beginning are hard to stop eating - their salsa is top notch. So when we got our food we were blown away by the portion size. We probably didn't need all the food we ordered between two adults and two kids. The birri taco were my favorite - so flavorful and juicy. The toppings were super fresh and the tortilla was very tasty. The supreme burrito had everything you could want and it had delicious queso on top and the chicken was not dry! Not to mention we had a jumbo margarita that was a reasonable price. I forgot my to-go box and came back to get it - the staff saved it in the kitchen for us in case we came back for it - super nice! Give this place some love - they deserve it. With good service, good food, good drinks, and a great happy and decent prices... why wouldn't you come here? read more
