Tucked in a nondescript plaza, this Mexican joint offers none of the bells and whistles you find from other Tex-mex style eateries. It's very open inside. Lots of TVs on the walls. The music was apparently coming from a DJ while we were there on a Saturday night but I didn't even know he was there until we left for the evening. I ordered the carnitas fajitas. Those were some of the best carnitas I've ever had. Seriously. So juicy and tender. They fell apart on my fork. That was definitely the star of the show. The rice and beans accompanying my fajitas were just ok, nothing special. I was a bit disappointed that my fajitas didn't come with guacamole, so I had to order and pay for a side, but at least they gave me a decent amount. The fajitas themselves were a pretty big portion too. My husband ordered a burrito. He said it was yummy but nothing overly special to rave about. The margaritas were tasty although not very strong. I liked that they had an entire section on the menu for spicy margaritas, my favorite. Get the jalapeño marg; you won't be disappointed. Our waitress was very nice and attentive without being overbearing. Food came out fast, almost too fast! It was all very fresh and hot.

Ember was our server and she was so attentive and friendly! They have such a nice selection of drinks that come in such cute cups. They have a wide selection of food items, my party got an array of everything and no complaints! We cam on a Saturday night and they had music playing.

Delicious as always. Every time I return I'm impressed by how fast they get the food out, Stephanie our server was very sweet and helpful. I tried the chicken, steak, shrimp Fajitas this time and they were so good. Well seasoned and served hot. Calm Sunday night and welcoming as always.

My first time in Orlando and I was taken here. Talk about a nice clean restaurant! Stephanie was so sweet and made a perfect recommendation for my first experience. She smiled and was very enthusiastic! I had the sopes with beef and one Birria taco. Talk about the perfect combo! The portions are big. The others in my group couldn't finish. I was so happy. I'd definitely come back! Thanks Stephanie for making our group feel welcomed! You're a gem there!

We've been enjoying Don Julio's the last couple times we've been since we found it. The service is great and I have loved the food. The only negative was the music volume. The music volume tripped my watch's volume alert at more than 80dB. The previous two visits weren't this loud. Ember who was our server was great. She ensured our drinks were topped up and that we didn't run out of chips. She made a great recommendation for my meal... the Milenesa Maya(spelling?) was delicious. She even tried to get the DJ to lower the volume. But the DJ kept creeping the volume back up through the meal. I would recommend this place for the food, but do keep in mind it might be loud.
