Friendly, attentive staff. Attractive decor. Decent chips and salsa. I ordered unsweetened tea and quesabirrias. The price was decent and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I ate here passing through and I'd likely choose it by default next time.

Food was delicious!!! They even served salsa and house chips right away, and who can turn that down? So yummy. Went here for lunch with some coworkers. I ordered the Santa Fe salad and it was nothing short of scrumptious! Everything was super fresh and each bite was better than the next. They had so many options on the menu and I'm dying to go back so I can try some more things! The inside was very well decorated and truly gave it a Mexican ambiance and very traditional vibes. Service was prompt and helpful as well. Greeted immediately and sat right away. Absolutely loved it!

(4.5 stars)We ended up at Don Julio after an Easter zoo visit because it was open and supposedly offered elote. Housed in a strip mall, it doesn't look like much from the outside. Inside is another story. There's some well-appointed wall art, a surprising amount of space, and a comfortably casual vibe. Don Julio's menu helps it stand apart from the multitude of Mexican eateries in the area. It includes not only elote but several items not widely available elsewhere such as potato shrimp enchiladas and mango ribs. Of course, you can find the usual suspects (burritos, tacos, quesadillas, etc.) here as well. From vegetarian options to seafood dishes to a molcajete (sizzling meat bowl), Don Julio has something for everyone.My wife and I split an elote starter and went with a vegetable quesadilla and a seafood stuffed poblano, respectively. The food came out astonishingly fast, and it looked and smelled great. While the poblano dish featured a sauce that was milder than expected, the pepper itself delivered a bit of heat, and the shrimp were large and well-cooked. The quesadilla paired well with a smoky chipotle sauce, and the elote satisfied a craving. The chips and salsa may have been fairly pedestrian, but everything else was quite good. In addition to the aforementioned speedy service, Don Elote boasts surprisingly reasonable prices. The lunch specials are a steal, but even seafood entrees won't run higher than mid-teens. Don Julio's location makes it easy to overlook, but its food, value, and service are too good to pass up. It's a great option for a post-zoo lunch.

After a day at the North Carolina Zoo we were looking for a place to eat. Don Julio's popped up during my Yelp search so we decided to give it a shot.Now don't let the nondescript exterior fool you, this place is excellent inside. The interior was immaculate top to bottom. Booth, table, or bar seating. Friendly, attentive staff.The food you ask? Delicious, or should I say delicioso. The burrito/enchilada combo plate I had was satisfyingly scrumptious. My wife had the two enchilada plate and was equally impressed.My visit made me wish Don Julio's Cocina was in my neck of the woods. I'm definitely returning here to eat the next time I'm in town.

The service was great! I was with a party of 16 and we were sat, greeted and served drinks very quickly. I ordered the carnitas street tacos and my boyfriend ordered shrimp, cheese, and rice. My tacos were great! The meat was tender and the sauce was delicious. My boyfriend loved his meal however, the portion was very small. I would definitely recommend coming here!

Don Julios is a step above the rest, with a wide variety of delicious dishes to choose from. Service is always good. I love the colorful decor with the sugar skulls and tequila bottles. Definitely a must try if you're in the Asheboro area.

Food was excellent and was served quickly. Absolutely delicious and I will return. Only reason I give it a 4 star rating is for the loud music and noisy atmosphere, I prefer to be able to conduct a conversation with my guests but found it hard to do at this establishment.
