    Ambiance was amazing and service was communicative and speedy. The prices are right for the portions of the food, especially the appetizers. Would come here again!

    Owner Cisco w my mom getting a thumbs up on their fajitas!
    Lollie R.

    The food was excellent as always I actually had a chance to try the portobello fajitas and they did not disappoint. My mom had the "real" fajitas - beef & told me several times how she has been telling everyone that these are the ABSOLUTE BEST FAJITAS ever!!! The service was just as wonderful - we sat over by the bar w Marce as our server. He was great, but we also had multiple other people check in on us. Huge kudos on the service! Also had a chance to see the owner Cisco & chat w the trainer Aliana. Great evening! Always wonderful when mom is

    8 oz beef fajitas

    We went for 1/2 off fajitas on Thursday evening. I ordered mine medium rare. When they came out there was no sizzling hot plate and mine was cooked rare. Granted, I would rather have it under cooked than over so I did not send them back. The flavor was good but the green bell pepper flavor was a little over powering. I ordered a Grey Goose martini and was charged 15.99 plus a 3.99 adder. I'm accustomed to Woodlands pricing but that was an over the top cost. The redeeming factor in my visit was the good service.

    I'm not sure how anyone eats a full meal here without being rolled out of the place. We wondered why everyone was leaving with to-go bags. The riddle was solved when we received our meal- the portions are HUGE! In addition to the portion size, the restaurant has a lot of personality! With witty sayings on the wall, and creative decor, the vibe feels inviting. We tried the spicy pineapple margarita, cucumber mint margarita, poblano queso blanco, taco salad, beef and chicken fajitas, and the tres leches trio. Of those mentioned, the cucumber mint margarita was refreshing, followed by the chicken offered in the fajita chicken. Unfortunately, the tortillas did not feel made in house and the poblano queso blanco had a pudding/baked Brie texture. Offered with chicharron, we instead chose tortilla chips, so it's possible the dish is improved when eaten as intended. Apart from the food, it seems like they're still getting in the flow of things, training and working on offering that 5 star service (lots of mixups and waiting in our service). Give them a little time, I'm sure they'll get there!

    Churros

    My family and I came here after church for Sunday Brunch, and one thing is clear: this place leans heavily into the "TEX" side of Tex-Mex. The portions were generous, and we really enjoyed the Flauta Tower--it was definitely the highlight of our meal. The tacos were also tasty, but there's room for improvement in the little details that elevate a dish. One thing we all noticed was the absence of limes, which are essential for Tex-Mex dishes, especially tacos. Small touches like a lime wedge could have elevated most of the dishes tbh. Another miss was the lack of spicy options. When I asked for something to add some heat to my tacos, the only option was Cholula--no spicy salsa or peppers, which seemed odd for a Tex-Mex restaurant. For dessert, we ordered the churros, but they fell short of expectations. While the churros themselves were decent, the chocolate sauce was disappointing--it had the consistency of water. As for the service, our server was friendly but seemed a bit forgetful, making multiple trips back and forth to fulfill our requests. While the service wasn't bad, it felt like the staff might still be getting the hang of things. Overall, this place has potential. It's new, seems to be ironing out the kinks. With a few additions/adjustment like limes and offering more spice options--it could become a solid Tex-Mex go-to.

    Mexican taco pizza
    Shanna P.

    Wow! We absolutely loved our experience at Nacho Padres. I know there's no kid menu on the actual menu, but they do have one (includes tenders if you have a kid that needs that). I ordered the Mexican taco pizza and it was the best thing I have ever ordered. Not a joke. It's gigantic. The beef was not ground beef it was wonderful. The margarita flight was also divine. Our server was personable, attentive, and kind. She didn't skip a single beat. We didn't want for anything at a table of 5 and my mother in law is incredibly picky. Somehow she was wooed. 10 outta 10 would recommend again and again. I'll be back and I'm SO looking forward to it.

    Spicy Jalapeño Margarita and the Renfro Margarita

    We started off having the Padres Nachos, which was amazing. We went on a Thursday, so the nachos were on HH and so were the margaritas. The food was super quick and the service was excellent. By the time, I finished the appetizer, I was full. The shrimp tacos came, and they did not disappoint! I got the tacos with charro beans. Great place for good Tex mex food!

    Very flavorful and tasty! Service-10 Ambiance-9 Food-7 Only because everything was spicy to me! Otherwise it's delicious--very good guacamole & chips ! I'd go back again but I'll order the fajitas --the chicken enchiladas were delicious but too spicy! Gave to sister! Ribs were tasty too

    Average or below on the fajita flavor. Not impressed. At half price fajitas, still not something I'll do again.

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!
