Julia's Méxican Restaurant

A gem in the rough of Salt Lake.

Whoever knew about this tiny little secret mom-and-pop Mexican restaurant -and did NOT share- should be hung from their toes and made to snuff the delicious, homestyle, very authentic Mexican food and not be allowed to eat any.

The location.

The tiny restaurant is about the size of my bedroom, painted in bright colors and loaded with positive energy. The owners- a husband and wife team who work very well together create the most amazing deliciousness in traditional dishes. It's not finesse or aesthetics for which you come here to eat these dishes; it is the relaxing "I just walked into Abuela's dining room and we are about to eat...a LOT" feeling and atmosphere.

We found this place by accident, too, searching for another Mexican restaurant. We won't be searching anymore.

The service.

The order was taken swiftly by the smiling and very friendly wife, who was so sweet! She knew I did not speak Spanish well, but waited patiently and when I switched to English she was so shy, but still got our order correct. Perfect in fact.

The husband delivered our food as if we were the most important people in the world, making us feel special. And, something that surprised me, his etiquette: as if we were in a fine dining restaurant, never once did he reach over our food or get into our personal space. He was polite, fast, quiet and respectful. To all the diners.

The food.

Try...everything. It is all good. We had the asada burrito and enchiladas. My enchiladas came with 2 eggs over-easy. Just like the first restaurant in which I first ordered Mexican. The plate was literally LARGER THAN MY FRIEND'S WAIST!!!

And, it smelled so delicious, tasting even better.

Results:

This is a repeat for sure, it's the first one I am going to say deserves to be ritual. And ritual is shall become once I take my entire team from work here. Can't wait!

Suggestion:

COME HUNGRY!

The customer service is great, they have authentic mexican food, it's soo delicious. Love this place!

Very yummy homestyle Mexican food! Great service! I recommend the smoothered burrito or green pozole!
