    Al pastor tostada
    Anna L.

    Casa de Julia is a Mexican restaurant with a bar for watching sporting events. Like most Mexican restaurants in the area, English is a bit limited here. I ordered to go and got the fish taco, lengua taco, and al pastor tostada. The fish taco was huge! However the taste was average. I enjoyed the lengua taco which tastes great with a little bit of the hot green sauce. The tostada was average.

    Soo... this is called the house of Julia really nice back story and whatnot. The restaurant itself is really cute and has a really pretty theme going on. :( I love my Mexican food but I didn't understand how this restaurant is so "welcoming" and they do the complete opposite. The food was mid. It was good but nothing that I'll crave again from here and miss except the Flan it was really good and fluffy. I also asked for no jalapeños on the nachos and they put hella of them. If it was packed it would have been understandable because I know the cooks have a lot of pressure but like it wasn't. I did like that they give you chicharrones instead of nachos. That is so cute, fresh and delicious and then with the Valentina uff. The waitress was nice she is new and just started working there not long. However, I did not feel comfortable as she was just looking at us eat and made me feel like they put something in my food or something. Like when Mr. Krabs & SpongeBob gave the "health inspector" that patty iykyk. The bill came (not cheap cuz everyone knows Mexican food is not cheap) and then the waitress comes and tells us we can't have outside drinks and that each water we bought has a $2.00 fee. We were like the only family and then 2 couples. I will not accept that they couldn't tell us before and we could have easily left or bought water from there. This has never happened and we eat out ALL the time. Anyways we asked to speak to the manager and basically the owner came and he said that the waitress is new so it was a mistake she didn't tell us before. Well if this was my restaurant and I had that policy I would set the waitress aside and tell her kindly that outside drinks are not permitted and there is a fee for EVERY bottle. And then I would tell her to remind the customers and that this was on the restaurant's part and that next time this happens there will be a charge. Unfortunately and gladly this is not my restaurant and the owner expected us to pay. While he was b***tching about this there was a drunk guy and he was hella wasted and was trying to pull the juice machine and it was almost going to fall I told the owner like umm hello the machine and he quickly went and stopped him. In the end we did not pay the fee and he was pretty cool and chill I just don't appreciate that type of service at all. We could have easily been regulars there but instead nope. I just felt not welcomed in that "home". So no thank you. But enjoy my cute pics.

    After a couple of visits, I can highly recommend Casa de Julia. The food is tasty, and the service is both friendly and efficient. At our last visit, my husband had the beef enchiladas in red sauce, which he described as the perfect blend of spice and savory. I had the lengua en salsa verde. The lengua was incredibly tender, and the sauce was amazing. I tend to judge Mexican restaurants by their rice and beans -- Casa de Julia did not disappoint! Strangely, the in-house and take-out menus are different.

    My dinner, delicious

    Customer service was great and the food was delicious,owner was very nice to me and my company,and tge train experience was cool when it goes thu it shakes the building, almost like your in a movie, great food and good customer service

    I came here for the first time last week after reading a couple of posts on yelp and realizing this was a New Mexican restaurant that had opened up in the woodside area. I am glad I came to visit as I had such a fun time here, between the friendly bartender and dining locals. The bar area is spacious and has huge flat screen TVs with sports playing, they have an interesting selection of beers (they do not have their liquor license yet), such as the strawberry cider I had which was DELICIOUS. I have only tried their fish tacos thus far but I was really impressed; the portions were huge for the price and it tasted great! Huge chunk of fried white fish, shredded lettuce and sauce on warm soft tortillas with a glass of strawberry cider was the best decision I made that day.

    I recently went to the grand opening of Casa de Julia, and it was a great ambience. I felt welcomed by the decorations and colors of the Mexican flag on the decorations. It was a warm and inviting atmosphere. Everyone felt like family. The owner came to speak to us and spoke about his hometown in Puebla, Mexico and was just super friendly. We had ordered the fish tacos, the chicken tostadas, cemita, and also the mole. The best thing on the menu was probably the mole and the fish tacos. Yum! I enjoyed the spicy tang of the sauce of fish tacos. I also thought the mole had a smoky and complex texture. I really loved the prices and felt this would be a great place for happy hour or grab a meal after work. I liked the pina colada and the sangria. It was a decent place to bring the family even the kids. I would definitely recommend to those who are looking for an authentic cuisine in the neighborhood.

The menu is entirely in Spanish but the waiters can help if needed. We ordered the Gobernador taco, a half dozen shrimp, the regular guacamole and the aguachiles verdes. The Gobernador was a large size - really more like a mini quesadilla than a taco in my mind. It was flavorful and filled with seafood. The half dozen shrimp were cooked well, but a little hard and messy to peel. The guac was good, a little oily but tasty. The aguachiles were really good but borderline too spicy for me. The spice continued to build as I ate them and it did feel less enjoyable but it was good to start. My main grievance with this restaurant was how loud it was. I was yelling and struggling to hear what my friend or the waiter said, but the food was delicious. Maybe if it were less crowded it would be ok, but definitely not a great atmosphere for having a conversation.

I ordered Carne Asada ,Medium . Which I never received, it wasn't like it was busy or anything. Server never once came to our table asking if anything was ok . I just waited patiently for my meal . After her Meal was finished she flagged down the server and asked where is my meal . She then apologized stating she forgot to put my order in .. I was upset after she walks by our table all night seeing me sitting there with no dinner. A good server would ask how is everything, but no not once . I said then cancel the order but my partner insisted I eat , but then after I decided to have it bagged to go . I had lost my appetite. I asked for the check with the server apologizing, I said it's ok but the restaurant should at lest comp the my girlfriend her one cocktail . But that didn't even happen.. The food looked great as far as I could tell , owner was sitting at the front of the Restaurant, didn't ask tables at anytime if customers are happy with their food and service. I don't get it I he noticed me sitting there with an empty table and a coke . I don't think Food or Location is the problem, it's missing customer service, and wait staff should be trained properly. My food is still in the fridge , lost my desire to try . Place wasn't even busy . I am giving 3 stars just for the chef , wasn't her fault. Table service and management 0 stars .

Once again, I achieved mediocre results at the city's only option for this messy, delicious torta of epic ambitions. The sandwich itself, however, is done wonderfully, with the right sloppy texture to the filling that you hope for. Of course, the appropriate chilaquiles verdes are employed. (A note of caution for vegetarians: it automatically is served with a chicken milanesa, so ask them to remove it if you have restrictions.) The sopes we tried were a bit bland, but that's just more reason to stick to the specialty here. The bread for the cemitas and tortas is also baked in house.

They make really tasty Cemitas, tacos, tostadas, quesadillas, etc. in-house (even baking the bread for their sandwiches and making their own potato chips), and they provide hearty portions for a reasonable price. I hope they are successful because they're a welcome addition to the neighborhood, and especially that particular block of 69th street. My husband loved their Cubana Cemita, which was massive, and I really enjoyed the pollo quesadilla, which came with rice and salad on the side. I look forward to trying other dishes soon.
