    This was my first visit here. They have quite a few items on the menu that I'll have to try. They had lunch specials that were $7.75 for a couple of entrees and beans and rice; which is pretty incredible in 2024. The enchiladas were small, and I'm not sure if they were small because of the lunch specials or not. The chips and salsa were really good. The salsa wasn't too spicy. I got a beef taco and a chicken enchilada. The food was pretty good. The beef was seasoned very nicely. It was more authentic than some other local ish places, which is really nice. The whole meal was under $10 and was a great value; which seals the deal for the 5th star. I'll be returning here to try other dishes.

    Don Julios is the best. Fulton needed a GOOD restaurant and there could not have been a better choice than Don Julio's. Javi, Clemencia and the entire staff are very attentive to their guests. Such a friendly atmosphere. You will always see Javi going from table to table to greet/check on their guests. Their Taco salads are delish, as well as their steak fajita quesadillas/steak burrito dinner. Can't forget the salsa, queso and blended Margaritas. YUMMM!!!! Head to Don Julio's for lunch or dinner. You won't be disappointed.

    Wonderful new restaurant. It's good to see how busy it was. Food is amazing, the service was great, and the owner even kept coming around to make sure everything was okay. Marko's Burrito was delicious and had a good amount of heat . Wife had tamales, 3 different levels of heat to them all were delicious. We will definitely be back. It's worth the trip if you're out of town.

    This place was amazing! The staff checked in with us many times through our dinner. The food was so good. Chicken and steak were cooked perfectly and tender. The portions were huge. Best Mexican in Fulton, IL!

    Fun new Mexican restaurant in Fulton. Seat yourself and be ready for some great food and drinks. Service was great as well, we never had a dry drink and the chips flowed in nicely. We had the Molcajete which was fantastic and sooo much food, we brought home plenty of leftovers. The queso with chorizo did not disappoint and was not too spicy for anyone at our table. The blended lime margarita was amazing and huge!
