About Julians Tamales / tacos

Julians Tamales / tacos has been a family favorite for decades, serving up delicious meals. The enchilada mole sauce is a must-try, if you can get the recipe! While the food is usually fresh and tasty, some recent experiences left customers disappointed. Soggy potato tacos, bland steak and egg burritos with too many beans, and small portions of meat in dishes like pozole and Caldo de res were some of the issues faced. Surprisingly, they don't offer chicken taquitos, despite having other chicken dishes on the menu. Despite these setbacks, the restaurant still offers a variety of good, fresh options that keep customers coming back. Everyone can have an off day, after all. Customers especially enjoy the salsa, which is very spicy and considered the best they've ever had, often purchased to go with chips. The machaca breakfast burritos are highly praised, with pinto beans added, making them one of the best around. The tostada is also a favorite, and the food overall is seen as just pure goodness.
