1. Ordering was super difficult. Their UberEats didn’t worked; I called to order and they wouldn’t take an order over the phone; and I went in to the restaurant and they wouldn’t take a takeout order in person either. Only online, which isn’t accessible to everyone.2. Their menu was inconsistent between the takeout menu in the restaurant, their online ordering menu, and the UberEats menu.3. They didn’t include any chips (usually free and included).4. They don’t have street tacos (only hard shell tacos), or common taco flavors (e.g. carne asada).Overall, not great as a first time customer.

What happened to you Julio's? Small portions, lackluster food, high prices. If you're going to charge for just a side of chips and salsa, perhaps add more than 2 tablespoons of salsa. If you're going offer fish tacos with cilantro lime slaw, don't throw fried fish with lettuce in a wrap and call it good. If we order lemonade, please tell us it's just sour mix and water from your tequila bar. Staff was friendly but very overwhelmed.

Flat iron fajitas were wonderful! Red sangria and guac too, all delicious. So glad business is booming!

I had been to Jolio's a number of years ago and loved it, which is why I decided to celebrate my 70th birthday there. Everyone at the table felt the food quality had declined from previous experiences there. Myself, I had the street tacos and frankly had better off a food truck. Perhaps they are still in recovery after the July flooding and have not gotten their MOJO back yet!

The margaritas are tini and limp. The chips are stale and came with no more than 3 spoon-fulls of watery salsa. I don't eat dairy or eat meat, so I asked if the chimichangas could be made vegan. The waitress failed to warn me that I was going to be served 99.5% soggy, fishy, cubed, boiled squash and one small piece of onion wrapped in a very small tortilla. I think they use boxed rice. The atmosphere felt uncomfortable and depressing. I had to pull over on my way home because I felt sick, still do.Overall unimpressed and will not be returning. Do not recommend.

Food was pretty good. Service was poor. Server blamed bartender for not pouring a drink that we saw sit for 10 minutes. We were served a drink with a severely chipped glass that would have cut a mouth. How it made it to us is beyond me.

The food is not that great. If you order anything make sure you ask if there is an upcharge. They charged us almost $5 for cheese on a chimichanga and didn't bother to tell us. When we asked about it they said there is no sause on the Chimichanga. For the price we should have gotten sause and they definitely should have told us it was an extra $5 for the sause.

I ordered the classic chicken tacos, and as gross as they are, I would have rather had Taco Bell tacos, more favor for the dollar. The classic chicken taco meal comes with three tacos in a gravy dish(if you get soft shells). I got through one and a half and couldn't finish. Sour cream and their house salsa couldn't save these. That's bad, since I love tacos, I mean everybody loves tacos, but I LOVE tacos. Lucky my girlfriend couldn't finish her fish tacos and gave me one. It wasn't bad for a simple fish stick in a shell, something you can make at home for a fraction of the price. They also do not have a military discount, so don't bother driving the hour that I did to get there unless you're going to Mad Taco around the corner.

Prices went up and value went down. The waiter wasn’t attentive, even though it’s a small dining area. Save your money and make a larger burrito at home!

Great tasting cocktails, and pretty authentic Mexican cuisine. When they say it's spicy, believe them!
