Really solid eatery with a ton of choices featuring lunch and daily specials.

Came in during the weekend with a party of four and sat immediately. Waitress gave my party an option of a table or booth without prompting.

Beverage options include full bar service with specialty cocktails, Coke products, and even some delicious Maine Root Rootbeer.

We started of with some guac and chips even getting to choose how many avocados...

A trip to Montpelier gave us a chance to stop into Julio's for lunch where we had the most amazing quesadillas & the absolutely most freshest salsa I've ever had in my life! Our waitress was super friendly, and helped make our visit wonderful!
