This local Mexican restaurant has been around for decades and it's a popular place for locals and visitors alike, since it's on the main road and on the way to South Padre Island. We decided to give it a try on a Friday since now they are open Thursday and Friday until 8p.m. instead of closing at 4p.m. I got the entomatadas plate with rice and beans and the overall flavor was pretty good. My husband got the fish plate that comes with salad and French fries. Depending on how much fish they have on any given day, they have an all you can eat fish deal. Our server Erika was friendly and helpful. Julia the owner was around and took a few minutes to talk to us. We went pretty early, 4p.m., so there weren't that many people there but as we were leaving, more people were starting to come in. The atmosphere is somewhat quiet and everything looked clean. Too bad they don't currently have a liquor license and they ran out of flan, which I wanted to try.

Julia's has been serving the highest quality food at the peak of freshness since the beginning. I first met Julia when I was working for the county and I have to tell you, it's the best of the best. Even now, even though I do not live near by I make it a point to stop in for her delicious food.

Good sized portion of homestyle cooking, great service, and fair prices. Daily specials are great options. Wide selection on the menu. I dined with a large group. Our orders were spot on and delivered in a timely fashion. Just be forewarned that they add an extra charge to use a credit card, so be prepared to pay cash or use a debit card if you don't like paying extra fees.

We are from Houston and we had a Lunch and Learn in the area. Another restaurant fell thru so Julia's saved the day! The food taste like my abuela cooked it. Food with a Hug. I did a TikTok for them because the service was Outstanding! Next time I'm in town I'm coming to sit down and eat. @terryboothang on TikTok in case you want to see video.

My wife and I each ordered a chicken enchilada, a chicken entomatada, and a chicken enmolada. If you prefer a mole sauce, I'd recommend the chicken enmolada. If you order a tomato sauce, go with the entomatada. The chicken enchiladas were excellent. The chicken entomatadas were outstanding, even better than the enchiladas. My favorite, though, was the chicken enmoladas. My wife preferred the chicken entomatadas. I can see why Julia's is famous for their enchiladas.

Service was very fast. Staff were attentive. My husband had the grilled tilapia with shrimp as it was Friday during Lent and I had Fajita enchiladas chicken. Both of us enjoyed our meals. We were visiting but I think everyone else were locals.
Excellent customer service a little
