  Tacos del Julio is my favorite sit down taco spot.  I avoided this place for years because their storefront looks really Tex Mex.  Not only do they not serve Tex Mex but they actually serve my favorite style of Mexican food, Norteña.  I searched for so long for a place like this!  My go to is the Tacos Especiales de Trompo.  Delicious.  A taco is not a taco without queso fresco, avocado and grilled onions and Tacos del Julio knows this.  I'm not a fan of caldo but the Caldo Tlalpeño here is awesome.  It has the right amount of spice and such good flavor.  The Taquitos al Vapor, the Enchiladas del Julio.  And on and on.  The service is great and the staff is friendly.  I have even had an event catered by them and they were super helpful.  I'm only sorry I judged this delicious book by its misleading cover and didn't try it sooner.

  This was a great yelp find for a fun dinner - especially since I was craving Mexican food. The salsa wasn't my favorite and wasn't too flavorful. It almost tasted like a soup base. The salsa was not included and was an extra charge unlike most Mexican restaurants. The queso... way better than I was expecting. I will 100% order the queso again and not the salsa.
  The flautas were perfectly crispy and topped with sour cream, green sauce, and queso fresco. AMAZING!!! So much food for your buck. I was going to have the daily special, but you can't say no to flautas!
  Our waitress was very attentive and helped us with the menu as far as what to order (but she didn't prepare us for how large the salsa and queso were) leftovers were great!

  Stopped here to check it out. Friendly staff and a focused menu. I had the burrito which was more like a giant taco. It was just a foldeded flour tortilla not rolled like you would normally see.  It was filled with to the top and somewhat difficult to manage. The flavor was ok but missing something.  
  
  The biggest issue I had was the lack of chips.  I was hoping for the common basket of chips to accompany my meal. They did not offer or bring any. I did see they had some on the menu for $5.50.  Instead of chips I did get diced onions, cilantro, beans, and lime. These toppings are supplied to every table to dress your tacos.  While this was nice it was not quite what I was expecting or hoping for.
  
  My bill was around $12 for a soda and the burrito. While the quality was adiquet I feel it was a touch to much.
  
  I would give this place 3.5 stars but will edge to 3.
  I would recommend, if you are looking to a more traditional taco experience. I will probley not return.

  I absolutely love this place!!  They have the best Charro beans which are complementary with your meals and also included with online orders-delivery.  I ordered through DoorDash; Food was piping hot and they were sure to provide the cilantro/onion/lime/salsa sides with freshly sautéed jalapeños/onion mix!!  Everything was meticulously and expertly packaged.
  
  Their corn tortillas are sooo good and you can tell that they are homemade.  I have tried their tacos, caldos, tortas and more.  I've never been let down.
  
  Customer service is amazing and sincerely pleasurable.  The staff believes in the place and is interested in its success.  I know a lot of people complain that they do not offer free chips and salsa (which is what is normally offered at a Tex-Mex restaurant)
  
  This is definitely authentic mex-mex food.  This is my go-to Restaurant when I'm craving Mexican food.  If you know how authentic Mexican food is supposed to taste; come to this place!!
