Julio’s Mexican Cantina

This restaurant arguably has THE best green sauce I have ever had in my life. If it wasn’t so far I would come here all the time! Their enchiladas are also the best and they have very good customer service. I just really like this restaurant and the atmosphere it provides!

Wonderful place. Great, accurate staff. Never had anything bad. Fried Avacado is amazzzing. Salsa is wonderful. Been going here for a few years. Never been unhappy. Usually we get our food to go, so that’s why accuracy is important.

What we had was pretty good. Didn’t like the waiter having conversations with the other employees while taking our order. Focus, Pinky, focus.
Would stop in again.

We have been going here for years! The staff is wonderful, and always very helpful. Margaritas are on point, always a great way to end the day! The patio has turf for the kids to enjoy on a beautiful day! Hands down our favorite Mexican place around!

Service was terrible … Food was terrible … Rita’s were terrible … Too gringo for me !!!

We were here tonight for a get-​together for the first time for me. We got there roughly about 6. We had a big table of 10 people. They first told us the wait was going to be 30 mins. We waited for 1 hour. While we were waiting for our table, we hung out at the bar while we waited for our table. And at the bar, the bartender didnt serve us until we had to get his attention. We had to keep asking about when our table was going to be ready. Finally sat down at 7. Ordering drinks and food was no problem. The food came promptly. The food was so so. But the service was not all that great or bad. Also it was hot in there. My experience was just so so. My time with my friends made up for the place. I don’t K ow if I would go back again unless I had to.

Good atmosphere. Nice and friendly service. Never had such speedy food before. Ordered and literally five minutes later we got our food. They were fantastic! Meat was savory and perfection. Margaritas were strong but definitely needed it after such a busy stressful workweek. Always a busy place but that’s good. Business is good bc they know how to do it. Would come back again definitely!

We’ve ate here many times and is always good!!! The price is reasonable also! Drinks are good and the chips are hot!!!

We were so excited to find a great mexican restaurant after we moved!

This food is decent, I wouldn’t usually go back but if it’s the only place in the area then I will go. The chicken fajitas are pretty good if you where looking to go there then I would get those.

Great Food and Margaritas. Ask for the margarita fresca (not on the menu). It’s way much better than the frozen

I’ve gone twice and I have to say they always take care of the customers. The staff is very friendly and tries to help eachother when they’re busy. The food is really good and is always hot when it leaves the kitchen. This is one of my favorite places to go!

I would put one star but the hostess agreed to partially fix the issue when asked. We were seated outside in the back corner, no big deal, except it smelled like sewage. We tried to push through it and hope it went away and ordered queso. The waitress took her time, came back twice without it, then finally showed up 10 min later with our queso. The entire time we’re breathing in the raw sewage smell. My husband politely went to the hostess stand to ask for a table inside. Her response to the sewage smell? «Oh it must be the kids in the kids zone running on the pipes.» Even better! After hearing that I certainly wouldn’t let my kids out there. We moved inside, waited forever for our food, and the food was just subpar at best. Overall, this was a bad experience. From smells, to slow wait staff, to kids playing on sewage pipes… there’s much better restaurant options out there… I wouldn’t recommend this one.

Great food and pretty good service. They don’t charge for every lil extra thing you ask for.

We love Julios — good food and nice people and a great happy hour! Personally I think it’s one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area.

Food was on the high-​medium price range for Mexican food. Fajita serving size for one really is only for one. Food was just so-​so. Chicken and tortillas tasted as though they could have been purchased at HEB. Service was slow but to be fair it was very very busy. Service staff were friendly though

Margaritas are on point I can usually on drink one jumbo! The food and service are always awesome!

My favorite Mexican Resturant hands down. Great staff. Great food. The only even comparable Resturant is Los cucos and it’s not as good. One tip– if you want extra sour cream, tortillas, or salsa– tell them when you put your order in if its busy. It gets kinda crazy and although they try to get it all it’s easy for them to forget if all the tables are full. Update: last few times it seems to be going down hill. Fingers crossed it’s temporary.

The fajita chicken tastes a lot like the prepackaged fajita chicken you get from the grocery store. The ground beef for the tacos is bland along with the rice. The lettuce on my tacos was still wet like they just washed it and there was little to no cheese on my tacos. Two stars only because the service was truly excellent.

After spending the afternoon at the Magnolia iSD FFA Livestock show, we went to Julio’s for dinner. First time from me.
The salsas were both great. The chips were light as a feather. Wonderful!
My son, his wife and their 15 year old son had the Fajitas for two with some left over.
I ordered the Chili Rellenos with ground beef. They were perfect. The Charro beans were some of the best I’ve eaten. My son didn’t eat his so I took them home with me. The corn tortillas were very light and were perfect with the beans
I’m 73 years old and have eaten a lot of Tex-​Mex. This was truly some of the finest I’ve had. Excellent service. Wonderful food. Outstanding! The only drawback is that I ate much, too much and am now miserable.
Julio’s is a long way (45 minutes) from my house, but they have a new customer.

We came for a late lunch on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant was busy. We were pleasantly surprised by the inside which was very nice. The food was excellent, and prices were fair. The only hang up we had was awful service. I had to get up and refill my own iced tea, and our waiter was rarely ever seen. We will try again, and hopefully wind up with better service.

In our family, we consider Mexican or Tex-​Mex as the sixth food group, so we loves us some Mexican food.
My wife and I rode past Julio’s while training for the MS150 and insisted we would make a point to check it out. We finally got to.
1^st the good… outside atmosphere is awesome. We picked a nice, low humidity evening in August and sat outside. The patio area is great. Good volume, not blaring, music playing some good Texas Country.
The requisite chips and salsa were good (spicy rojo & cool verde). Service was good, friendly and prompt.
I ordered a margarita that was large and made me give the keys to my wife. We ordered the fajita special with beef and shrimp. The amount of food was definitely enough. We both were able to wrap four fajita tacos a piece and still had food left over — so I’d call it a good value.
Now the bad… Our food came out surprisingly quick… unfortunately it was cold. The cast iron was warm but the food tepid, at best. Flavor was ok but not spectacular — the flavor of the shrimp in particular was «dirty.»
Maybe we caught the (bad) luck of the draw but I think the management and kitchen staff shoring these two issues up could make this a really great place.
Willing to return for a second chance.

Friendly service, clean restaurant, but oddly quiet with no music playing while we were there. The owner arrived as we were leaving and turned it on.
We split the chicken fajitas for two. I asked for corn tortillas and hubby got flour — and the tortillas arrived in the same container. Darn. Cross contamination for this gluten free girl…
The chicken was flavorful, the salsas were delicious, and the staff was attentive. I was impressed with the portion sizes — we had skipped lunch that day and there was more than enough to fill us up. Looking forward to going back and trying something else!

This place is on the out shirt of Tomball. It’s packed with cars and looks busy. We decided to stop by and see what this place is about. Like other reviewers stated, it’s like other Mexican Cantina. Nothing to awe about. The staffs are friendly and food are decent. Chips and dips are better at other places. We ordered margaritas, chicken tortillas soup, street tacos, and fajitas. The soup is good but on a warm side. Fajitas were brought out sizzling and it too was warm. The street tacos could be better. Overall, it’s a decent place if it’s the only restaurant outside of town or you live close by the area and save a drive to the city for food.

The best Mexican in Northwest Houston area. Between Tomball and Cypress Fairbanks. This is not your strip mall restaurant and definitely has a great relaxed atmosphere.
My favorite is their Chili Relleno, beef with Chili Sause instead of their ranchero sauce.
Sides of Mexican rice ams refried beans completes the dinner plate.
Their frozen margaritas are good with extra anjeo floated on top.
This is a great place with great Mexican and tex-​mex.
