    Our server was so kind and did a great job. Unfortunately this place fell really flat for me and my boyfriend. We made a dinner reservation and ended up just skipping dinner altogether and splitting some tacos after being sat. The restaurant was pretty empty for a Saturday night and I didn’t feel excited by any part of the experience. I hate to bash something I got for free but the chocolate cake they brought me because I had birthday listed on my reservation was barely edible and so dry. The tacos were boring and nothing noteworthy. My boyfriend isn’t picky at all but thought his simple mojito tasted off. My margarita was decent but again, nothing special. Centrico down the street has much better food and vibes for a lower price. I will say the saxophone player at the beginning was a nice touch, but later when they played music they kept skipping tracks/changing the song halfway through which i don’t think I’ve ever noticed in a restaurant before.

    The restaurant had nice ambience and good music. There was only 2 tables including us and it took a while to get menus, forever for our drink and our food. The service was terrible and there were 5 servers including bartender and hostess were standing around talking and not checking on us. The food was good. I will not be going back.

    Made my friend’s birthday celebration so memorable! Our server Marcos was amazing! Loved the birthday specific note on the table. Everything! It was also our first time at the restaurant. We will definitely be back. Appreciated the trendy atmosphere that didn’t come with pretentiousness that other venues typically carry.

    Whoever reads this don’t get me wrong ok. Alright, so as everyone by now knows the inflation and plus the fact your down town Phoenix things may get a little pricy… not being Jewish here but some of the food at this restaurant is a joke. If your Mexican u would know, but if you try an Elote (corn on a stick) dashed with mayo, cheese, chilli powder and everything else a street vendor would sell for about $3-$5, and this restaurant charges $15 for something that simple just doesn’t make any sense, the presentation is nice but the price and the food portion just doesn’t make any sense. Additionally, drinks… so I gotta say their specialty cocktails are great, but again after eating I walked across the street, there’s tons of bars that could make a similar drink for way less than $15. The fact this place is Mexican I didn’t see any Mexicans, too… which now I know why. Casa de Julia is not worth the price, this is not like Toca Madera in Scottsdale and should re-evaluate their prices.

    Only complaint was that the sides with the whole fish were rich and so was the fish. The waiter recommended a side of chimichuri which really helped to lift the meal.
