So this was our first time here. Food was authentic. However, it was the little things. We asked for a small guac which for 7 dollars was tiny but we went with it. Fajitas did not come with guac. Fajita steak was done well and i was not asked how i wanted it and it was not sizzling which led me to believe it was already made. We asked what type of tequila as we like to taste and were told "all of them". Maybe create a tequila flight on menu or list your tequilas somewhere. I don't remember the name of all tequilas but a list with pricing could help sell more. Especially when the server couldn't name one. They should offer to make a meal out of some of their "appetizer" options. My husband got the burrito but we had to pay extra for rice separate and refried beans separately. Felt a little nickel and dimed... Our server did her best, overall it was a good experience. Not sure if we would go back.

Busy for a good reason! Yum! Table service can be slow with the busy takeout needs. Drinks and food are spot on! We will return!

Don Julio's never disappoints. Just yesterday we (a party of 21) had a great time and enjoyed the ambiance as well as the meals. Food portions are great. Tastes great. The service is always pleasant and polite. Very attentive. One of Tampa's gems for sure.

Don Julios staff did a fabulous job with our birthday party. They had a beautiful table set up for 16. Our wait staff was excellent. She was very attentive. She also organized a sing along Happy Birthday for my dads 92nd birthday and all thexwait staff plus a guitarist serenaded him with a candle lit birthday cake. She was incredible. I highly recommend events at Don Julios. It us our favorite restaurant!

First visit and we loved it. Our server, Camilla, was a sweetheart, very attentive to our needs. The food was so good, best Mexican we have had in awhile. And they make a really good margarita. We will add them to our favorites list!

It was brunch time, and there was barely anyone in the restaurant. The music was incredibly loud and despite it being a large restaurant, they put the very few people all together. There were three staff who hung out at a table. Food was very mediocre but the chips and salsa were good except they serve the salsa in a small bowl that you can’t get your chip into.
