My wife and I absolutely love this place and at this point, it's safely in our regular rotation. I usually go straight for the shrimp tacos, and they never disappoint. They're packed with flavor, cooked just right, and somehow hit that perfect balance of fresh and satisfying. Pair that with their rice and refried beans, which are way better than your typical "side dish afterthought" and it turns into one of those meals you think about later in the day. I've also had their birria tacos, and those deserve their own moment. Rich, flavorful, and the kind of messy that's 100% worth it. You know it's good when you stop talking mid-bite just to focus. My wife is just as loyal to her favorites, the sopes and tostadas. She swears by them, and after trying a bite (or a few... for research purposes), I get it. They're loaded, fresh, and clearly made with love. Overall, this is one of those spots where everything just works. Great food, consistent quality, and the kind of place you end up recommending to friends without even thinking about it. Highly recommend, we genuinely love this place and will definitely keep going back. read more

One of the best taco trucks around the area hands down! The birria tacos are amazing and so flavorful. And shoutout to the verde sauce. The thing I absolutely love about this place is even if it's early in the morning, they are already open and ready to serve some tacos! read more

pulled up 5 minutes b4 close.. walked up to the window to order and was told "we are closed" you close at 9pm not 8:55pm... bad business when u are supposed to serve the community... ill never come back.. read more

I really like the food from here! I always enjoy the carne asada tacos they're super tender and flavorful and you have the option of traditional onion and cilantro tacos or "everything" which comes with lettuce, tomatoes and a few other toppings. I prefer my tacos with just onion and cilantro but cool to know there's more options if you like other toppings! Their sopa de res is also really delicious. I always love buying it when I'm feeling sick because it always comes out piping hot and it just has a really comforting home cooked flavor to it. Lastly I've tried the sopes from here and they were also pretty good! They lacked a little something for me and I'm not sure what it was but still this place has pretty solid flavors! The people here are always nice and depending on how busy they are food comes out relatively quick! read more

The service is really quick considering the food is delicious. I can't help but crave their shrimp tacos!!! It's your typical food truck at a gas station but elevated with covered seating and nice tables ! I forgot to take photos but I'll post update because we will be returning. read more

Been coming here since 2019 and without a second guess, they make the best authentic tacos in the area! Undisputed among all the new and old taco restaurants around. They recently upgraded their food truck, so I'm glad our business is helping them grow. You can never go wrong with fresh, real deal tacos read more

I ordered the stake tacos, the meat tasted like it was cooked the day before and was way overcooked and very dry It had absoloutly no flavor whatsoever. What is most disturbing to me was that I asked if the stake was cooked fresh this morning and the young man said it was. I will have to reconsider before returning to this establishment again. I have been coming here for years I have to say the consistency is not what it has been in the past. read more

Came here because we saw it had good reviews-- but honestly whoever says these tacos are good has clearly never had good tacos before. Lengua was very bland, tasted as if it was just boiled. Al pastor was very gritty and tasted more like a boiled chorizo than al pastor. Wouldn't recommend it. Not worth the $35 we spent. read more

Two stars because the guy taking our order was really nice. Other than that, not sure how they've received four stars here. I ordered a gordita, taco and nachos. They were out of Al Pastor, which they told me 5 minutes after ordering so I ended up getting the carnitas. No picture because I took the food to go and by the time I opened the package the food was not presentable. Anyway, there was no flavor whatsoever in the meat. They put lettuce and tomatoes in the Mexican tacos, just so you're aware. This was unexpected as I thought I was getting an authentic taco with only onions and cilantro. This made the taco very soggy. The gordita would have been good if the meat had any flavor at all. The nachos were a good size and were ok. Overall, would not return. read more

Absolutely delicious. There isn't a single thing they serve that isn't just great. The service is wonderful and quick. Try the tacos, nachos, tostadas, chimichangas... Hell, just come! read more

I enjoyed the carne asada tostadas with some homemade hot sauce and a Mexican coke. The ambiance was nice since it was a cold/windy day and it is located near other food trucks. I got good service, it is a typical food truck; you order and they call you when your food is ready. I found the food tasty and very fresh. read more

Taqueria Don Julios - Carne asada tostadas - Mexican Near Me - Riverview, Florida

I've been coming to this food truck for years and up until last month it was the best taco truck around. I'm not sure what changed but ever since they extended their hours, their food has gone to shit. Too many times I've been given COLD food. Refrigerated cold type food. This tells me nothing is fresh and has been microwaved the whole time. Their portions have also gotten cheap. When you take a bite of your food and have to spit it out that means it's time to stop going here and find a new taco spot. Anyone have recommendations? read more

It's a cute little food truck tacos place. I like coming here for authentic tacos especially Tuesdays. They have an amazing tacos Tuesday deal which includes 3 tacos, rice and beans, and drink for $9.00. I highly recommend the green salsa on top of the tacos. I also recommend trying their horchata! read more

*WARNING* DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS BOGUS ESTABLISHMENT! VERY RUDE EMPLOYEE! OFFERED NO HELP! I ordered 2 orders of steak tacos and had uber eats pick up my order. When we opened the steak was missing!! I paid $47.77 and they did not offer any help, no compensation and denied the order was even made. Accusing the Uber eats delivery person instead. What a load of crap! Will never come back here again! From other reviews I just read. This is a scam they are running. Charging you money for wrong orders and expect you to be okay with it. HOW ARE YOU STILL OPEN?????? read more

it's a stationary truck restaurant, therefore I'm not not expecting much but I got a lot, food is really great never had a disappointment and it's the most authentic Menudo I've ever ever had......... with bones in it we had Carne Asada, two Barbacoa tacos and of course Menudo. read more

Nom nom nom this place is great. The food is always hot and fresh, the taste is their and portion size is more than Loli's. You definitely get your money's worth here. The service is fast but even still sense cooked fresh you have to wait... I call ahead most of the time and pick up and go but i have also sat outside and ate. The tables are clean and the fans with the canopy give you relief from the heat. 9/10 would recommend. Like stated twice before this food is made fresh so don't order if your in a rush, this isn't fast food place. read more

I try to stop in whenever in the neighborhood for lunch Great food, authentic, good portions, covered dining area with clean tables & service with a smile... I'm a taco addict and try them just about everywhere I go and Don Julio's has some of the better steak tacos in the area. SRV read more

Food was great for taco Tuesday Order was made quickly and the associates were nice. The outdoor mini patio was perfect for rain coverage & those not in a rush. It's a good food truck so you get a convenient outdoor vibe and parking near by. read more

Pretty fire chicken quesadilla is gas. Good service. Just the right amount of messy that I want my taco food truck to be

I usually come here all the time... please bring back the old staff. The young girl at the register is rude and in a rush to do what? I'm not sure.. She hurried me out of a line that had no wait, got my order wrong, and then was hostile with me when I asked to have a side of tortillas. I told her never mind, her attitude was horrible, took my soggy tacos and left.. read more

I ordered 3 barbacoa, 3 lengua, and 4 asada. The meat from the asada tacos tasted disgusting. I am a chef and I wouldn't recommend this place I ended up throwing out the asada tacos. I feel sick now and will not visit this establishment ever again. This is not the first time that they served me this weird meat, I gave them another shot thinking it was a one time thing. I was very mistakened. The oil in which the jalapeños and onions were fried in tasted like it was weeks old. Salsa was weird too, very watered down I don't know what happened with this food a couple of weeks ago it was fine. They requested that I take the tacos that I threw out in the garbage instead of just crediting me for the 4 that were crappy. read more

Looking for something cheap and fast? This is your go-to. All of their meals are around $10 and the portion sizes are huge! Each order also comes with 3 of their house-made salsas - which are delicious. The food is OK, but super convenient spot for a quick lunch or dinner. read more

This place is conveniently located at the Marathon convenience store in Riverview. There is a covered table area with fans blowing. The prices are comparable with $8.99 combos that include your favorite Mexican specialty with rice and beans. The is also a choice of at least six types of meat. The food was decent. I have had the Al pastor pork tacos at several authentic restaurants in the area and this one was the least flavorful. The rice and beans were average. The green sauce definitely gave the food better flavor. The service was prompt and the food was presented well. This is not my first choice for authentic Mexican food. read more

Nothing to write home about. My husband and I went for lunch expecting great things as they are typically busy over the lunch hour. It was obvious that everything was made from scratch, but every dish just seemed to be lacking flavor. I had the shrimp soup and one shrimp taco. My husband had two carnitas tacos and two carnitas gorditas with a rice water. The shrimp soup was fine; a little spicy (which was the best part). The shrimp taco was bland, and the carnitas was bland as well. The rice water had a slightly grainy texture (which is normal), but the flavor was awesome. I had never tried it before, and it reminded me of chai. All in all, the food was fine, but not good enough for us to return. read more

Order was incorrect and was told when i was getting ready to pay. They substitute different meat and it was so salty I couldn't finish my meal. The steak was over seasoned and who puts lettuce on a traditional taco? read more

Prison Mike can stomach it :-) Not bad, but definitely not that good. It's somewhat authentic, and the taco that I had was overfilled with the Al Pastor sauce and overpowered the taco too much for me. Usualmente el taco del Pastor is not used with carnitas but with steak so with the carnitas it had a bit of an odd feeling for me. If you're really hungry you'll eat it, if not Oscars Tacos definitely were better read more

We love coming to this hidden gem in Riverview recommended by a friend! Nothing like a family owned and operated food truck 5 minutes from home that's delicious at the same time! Food: authentic! Our favorite are their tacos, made on either corn or flour tortillas and all the toppings. The shrimp soup is STELLAR! Fresh veggies and tons of large shrimp with tortillas and fresh cilantro and lemon, BOOM! Homemade guacamole is an added bonus too! Prices: inexpensive! Tacos are around $2 and the soup is under $10 for a large portion! Service: so friendly! We come here at least once a week - and when we see tons of locals there with us it reminds us why we keep coming back! read more
