We went to Don Julio's Authentic Mexican Cuisine in Lutz to satisfy our craving for Mexican food,…read moreand overall, the food was really good. We ordered the Burrito Don Julio, which came with steak, beans, melted cheese, and Mexican rice, along with chips, pico de gallo, and sour cream. We also tried the molcajete, which came with shrimp, chicken, and steak. Both dishes were flavorful and enjoyable, and we would definitely order the food again. We also ordered the Mexican Manhattan made with Don Julio. Unfortunately, it wasn't very impressive, especially considering the price point. The biggest downside was the service. The restaurant was busy but not packed, yet service was pretty slow, and we had a hard time getting drink refills.

They make their own sauce (none of the commercially produced stuff) and to my husband that is the key to a good Mexican restaurant. The staff was friendly and helpful and the seating area was clean. It's small place, great for a peaceful meal. The food is priced right and the portions are good. We have been in the area for 2 years looking for a place that makes their own sauce and this is the first we have found. Hard to believe with so many options around so few take the time to do this. Thank you Cielito Linda, we will be back!

I was looking forward to an authentic Mexican cuisine experience, but I was pretty disappointed by…read morethe food and service and will not be back in the future. Our server, although nice, disappeared throughout our meal so we spent the first hour without ordering anything because he was nowhere to be found. Throughout the meal, this was the same and he not once came to check on us (mind you we stayed here for the duration of happy hour), so even though we wanted other items it was impossible to order them. The queso did was super bland, no flavor to it or spice that I was expecting. The quesadilla was more-so comparable to a lightly pressed soft taco, no crunch or cheesiness that comes from your typical quesadilla. It was not even pre-cut and the taste was disappointing. The saving grace were the happy hour drinks which we found to be tasty. We ordered the Paloma, which tasted like a spritz with a dash of tequila, and a large pitcher of the strawberry margaritas which was great and definitely had us tipsy.

Chuy's has officially become part of our Silver Springs tradition. Whenever we're heading back…read morehome to Tampa after spending the day floating down the river in Ocala, if we're coming this way, we get excited knowing we can stop at Chuy's for some food and drinks before finishing the drive home. Yes, Chuy's is a chain, but if you're thinking typical chain-restaurant Tex-Mex, I personally think it's much better than that. I almost ALWAYS order the King's Memorial combo because for around $18, the amount of food you get is ridiculous--in the best way. You get a crispy taco, three enchiladas (cheese, beef AND chicken), Mexican rice and refried beans, plus crispy chips underneath the taco covered in that creamy queso. It hits the spot every single time, and I ALWAYS have leftovers. Little piece of advice: EAT THE TACO FIRST. Crispy tacos deserve to be enjoyed fresh and crunchy. They are not tomorrow's problem. My friend usually gets one of the burrito combos, which comes with a HUGE burrito, Mexican rice and black beans. She loves hers and usually ends up taking leftovers home too. I've also sampled enough food from other people's plates over the years to say I haven't really found anything here that I dislike. The fajitas are delicious, the margaritas are decent, and the prices are reasonable for the portions. Now let's talk about those complimentary chips and dips. We call the creamy one the "crack sauce." If you know, YOU KNOW. It comes out with the chips and salsa, and we literally have to make ourselves stop eating the chips because we want to save some of that creamy sauce for our actual meals. On our most recent visit, we sat on the bar side and had Ian taking care of us. He was friendly, respectful, quick with everything and checked in to make sure we were good. He even brought us some extra dipping sauce, which absolutely earned him bonus points with us. His name also happened to stick with me for a personal reason, so I definitely wanted to make sure he got his shout-out. The restaurant itself is super cute inside, and although we usually gravitate toward the bar side, the entire place has a fun atmosphere. Our service over multiple visits has consistently been good--20%-tip-worthy good--and the staff is usually pleasant and helpful. There are A LOT of restaurants to choose from in this area, especially if you're already over here shopping, so I know picking somewhere can get overwhelming. But if you like Tex-Mex and you've driven past Chuy's thinking, "Hmm... I wonder if that place is any good?" I definitely recommend stopping in at least once. If you hate it, I'm sorry. If you love it... you're welcome. We'll absolutely be back the next time our Silver Springs adventures bring us through Lutz!

I got a beef burrito this time with the queso on top. It was delicious. We sat at the bar so the service was great. I believe it was Ian's first day by himself and he did a good job. He made me a really nice raspberry margarita on the rocks. This is definitely my favorite Tex-Mex place to come to.

There are times that the meat portions end up being cut short. The price for the food is way too high to be skimping on the meat. With the price being $16 for three quesabirria tacos, it's ridiculous to be skimping on the meat portions. Overall, the food was very good but they either need to lower their prices or give more meat. The plaza is very busy so it may be hard to find parking at times, and the service is very fast.
