“ THIS IS NOT A MEXICAN RESTAURANT! IF YOU WANT MEXICAN FOOD, GO TO PUERTO NUEVO (RIGHT DOWN THE STREET) This place is great! So many people don’t do their research before they go and complain that they went to a steak house and thought they were at a Mexican restaurant. Not the restaurants fault, that would be on you. This place is a great steak house, extremely reasonably priced, best service (Miguel was our server, what a pro!). The atmosphere is also very cool and relaxing. ”
“ Loved it! We did the scorpion shots, a couple long islands, coconut shrimp is the app, burrito tropical and lobster pasta. Everything was excellent! Service was fantastic and we will be back! ”
“ Food was really good and tastes super fresh. Atmosphere was awesome with cool decor. Bar area was really nice with huge TVs for watching the game. Right next door to the cinemall movie theater so we got a bite to eat and went over to watch a movie. This was our first time there and we will be back! ”
“ Enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere! Enjoyed the salsa, cheese dip, enchiladas and rice bowl. Grandkids enjoyed the slushie that came with the kids meal. ”
“ Quesabirrias were the best I’ve had! Great service- prompt and courteous. Drinks were great and immediate. Sunday lunch for 4 was more economical than most similar locations. Great overall experience! ”
“ Really enjoyed my first meal at Papa Julio's! They have already worked out the kinks and this new restaurant is on point. There is something for everyone with burgers, pasta, Mexican food, steak, ribs, fish, pork chops, chicken, and even a kids menu. Full bar, average prices, and excellent service. If you were waiting to hear how it was, your wait is over. Please give me a "like" if my review helped. ”
“ If you live here in Abington, VA or are traveling thru, you have got to stop and eat here!! From the atmosphere, the free salsa bar, the kind-prompt service, to the diverse tasty menu, there is something for everyone! As an added touch, the menu has pictures of most everything they serve, and the food came out exactly as pictured, as well as tasted amazing!!! We had the Rice & Beans bowl with steak/chicken/shrimp along with the Papa Julio’s Feast of three seafoods. Aaah-mazing!!! They even knew to bring corn tacos for my Celiac diseased husband (gluten free) without a request, because they heard us talking about his Celiac needs!! Thank you for a nice dinner for two weary travelers! (It’s about 1 mile off interstate by the movie theaters) ”
“ Thinking this was going to be a regular ol Mexican restaurant I figured I’d give it a try. Boy was I wrong. Walking in it seemed sophisticated, the decor was amazing and the staff was wonderful. Kinda of a high end Mexican/american menu offering a full bar and many options of drinks and food. I really enjoyed this place allot. Would definitely recommend. ”
