Julius was very rude. We went for a drink and music and he didn't want us sitting with our friends because we were not eating. Drink was 10 dollars, no ice. Music was good but will never go

Thought to give this place a try mainly due to the jazz quartet that was playing there…Very nice historic building, which is being well-maintainedNot much of a menu , portions are very small.Once the server provided the order, she never check to see how the meal was, or if needed another drink …I would go there again and just have drinks and listen to the music, but definitely not to order a dinner

I rented the Ballroom for a galaaffair. Julio could not have been more helpful. He was so easy & professional, the food was attractively set up & was delicious! I HIGHLY RECOMMED JULIUS at Maennerchor Plaza as a fabulous venue for any Event! We went for dinner on several occasions, and always left satisfied. Julio offers Jazz in the Pub on Fri & Sat nights with $10 small plates! This is a relaxing way to spend an evening!

We had an Event in the Ballroom on Friday. Julio could not have been more helpful, very easy to work with. He had wonderful suggestions, too. The atmosphere was fabulous, we hired Ed Koscelek for uplights to create an even more beautiful ambience for our 200 attendees. The food was delicious and the service excellent! HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Thank you, Julio and Staff! We appreciate ALL that you did to make our evening the best!

We had brunch today (prix fixe menu) and it was the best we've had in Erie. Spectacular food in taste and quality. The service was friendly, attentive, and yet not overbearing. Just right. The atmosphere is unique - with much of the grand old Mannerchor still in evidence. Yet it didn't feel at all musty or faded. It's a piece of preserved history in all its glory and shame. (The bar still has the German phrase "Ladies are not served at the counter." But a welcome sign has replaced the word not.) If you're looking for a first class brunch in Erie in Mexico City style, look no further. Julius is a gem in the Gem City!

If you find yourself in Erie and looking for someplace special to eat, think of Julius—it is certainly one of the best, if not THE best, Mexican food north of the border. The food is fresh, well spiced, prepared with great care. Every dish was exceptional! Don’t miss it!

Julio is an amazing owner. He spends time to get to know each patron and then remembers you on your next visit. His food is delicious and authentic and a lot of care and time goes into what is made. You will not find a taco here, but if that is what you want go to a more Americanized casual fast food restaurant.
Located in one of Erie's historic buildings, Julius is a fantastic addition to the fine dining checklist. My wife and I were married in the Maennerchor Club years before Mr. Reyes began offering this exquisite Mexican experience. We were excited to return and reminisce about the old style structure and historic experience we had during our wedding planning stages. Along with a handful of both small and large plates, Julio Reyes' dinner specials will keep your tastebuds entertained and provides a reason to return often. Don't let it fool you though, a small plate is definitely more than an appetizer and very sharable. A table of four could easily order them all and share for a great meal! This visit we enjoyed Julio's take on tenderloin, one with a tomatillo and chili pepper salsa, the other with a peanut sesame Adobe sauce. Having the Tostadillas before this meal made it tough to finish. Not to mention all meals are served with a simple cup of homemade soup. If you have enough room, you might try the Flan or Plantains for a sweet treat. Mr. Reyes personally greeted and served us. Talk about a man who takes pride in what he's doing and wants to bring artistic cuisine back to the heart of Erie. Fantastic on all levels! Including the Mojito, probably the best I've tasted- freshest ingredients and finest quality.Vegetarian options: They offer a Mexican style vegetable plate of seasonal veggies.Parking: Ample parking lot and handicap 1st floor access off of 16th.Wheelchair accessibility: This is 1st floor, no stairs.

I enjoyed a quiet get together with friends at Julius's a couple weeks ago. It's was a delightful experience. The restaurant is beautiful and the food was delicious. Highly recommend.
