Julio Taqueria is widely celebrated as a vibrant destination offering delicious, high-quality Mexican cuisine in a lively and colorful atmosphere. Many diners appreciate the entirely gluten-free menu, which provides a safe and inclusive dining experience for those with celiac disease or dietary restrictions. The diverse selection of flavorful dishes, including standout tacos, quesadillas, and popular churros, is frequently paired with excellent house-made sauces and inventive cocktails. While some visitors note that the venue can become loud and portion sizes may feel small relative to the price, the majority praise the friendly, attentive service and the overall welcoming environment that makes it a favorite spot for locals and travelers alike.
One of the best meals I've ever had, service was excellent & it's such a cool space. We had great chips & guacamole, & our food came super quickly. We enjoyed amazing queso birria & tacos al pastor. We had to try the churros too since they can be hard to find GF- they were fantastic!
First time customers but will definitely be back. Annabelle (young lady who served us) was absolutely great. We had a blast with her, she was fun, smilling the whole time & was really paying attention to us the whole time. We didn't really for our food as she was always there. She explained the menu clearly. The food was absolutely delicious, they proclaim "mexican inspired cuisine" & they definitely live up to it. The food was fresh, hot & was cooked with attention. The churros were absolutely delicious, we almost reordered for the road back home. We took a margarita julio, guacomole dip, sikil pak dip, tacos de birria, churros, corona, poblano & quesa birria. I usually have a big appetite but was full when we came out. It was light but still saturating. Did I mention Annabelle's great service? Awsome she is definitely enjoying her job & it shows 10/10 great service & food. Will recommend to others.

C'est toujours tellement bon & c'est tellement un soulagement de manger sans gluten sans me préoccuper de la contamination. C'est notre endroit à mon amie & moi pour notre rencontre annuelle &, non, on ne partage pas les churros. Chacune son bol!
Amazing gluten free experience though you wouldn't even know it. Most Mexican food is GF anyway but Julio Taqueria is just GF, good food. My wife got the lunch special which included a taco dish (3 tacos), a side of guac with some chips & a fresca drink. She got carnitas tacos which were just right but the sauces are game changers. That orange habanero is just insanely delicious & hot 🔥! I got the Al pastor which were also really good - the pineapple balanced the heat beautifully. The chips were thick & crisp & the guac was perfect. She got the Jamaica drink though we're not sure what it was exactly, it tasted kind of cherry & was really tasty. So my wife has been GF for about 19 years now but she wasn't super adventurous before so she'd never had a churro. We ordered the churros. We loved the churros. There's a decent number of them in the bowl for $8 & they definitely need the dulce de leche to cut the greasiness. Total with tax & tip was just over $50 which, let's face it, isn't bad for 2024. Especially when you're basically guaranteed a safe GF meal. Highly recommend this place! Oh, btw, we parked on the street nearby in the 1h free parking spot & were out before the time was up. See you on the road!
Resto sans gluten yayyy Le cocktail (marg. Julio) était vraiment très très bon. L'ambiance (vers 14h) était ehhh correct, je suis sûr que l'ambiance est excellente le soir par contre. La guacamole & les corn chips étaient super bons. J'ai commandé les tacos birria, la portion était parfaite & c'était plutôt bon, mais ça aurait pu être mieux (manquait un peu de goût). Le service était vraiment bon, serveurs/serveuses très agréables :) Churros sans gluten ont fait ma journée. Par contre, c'est $$$ (compréhensible vu le sans-gluten, mais quand même.... ça ne le valait pas totalement)
If you like tacos, this is your spot. We ordered takeout but we definitely regret not eating here. It's a swanky little spot-modern, artsy, cool vibe. We had the birria tacos, house-made guacamole & chips & churros. The birria dip with the tacos was just what we needed. Those churros were perfection with a house made sauce that just topped it off. Great little area with other unique shops & restaurants as well. Loved this spot! Highly recommended. No reactions either. As stated in the menu everything here is gluten free with the except or some beer on tap.
