I drove from Coral Springs (1.5 hours) trusting the reviews and I can say this place DID NOT disappoint. I am very pleased with the food, service, drinks and atmosphere. Quick service, DELICIOUS food, great Margaritas. I definitely recommend this authentic Mexican spot. I will definitely make the drive again just to eat there. 10/10
My favorite taqueria ever!! ( As a classically trained chef, I feel my opinion matters more) I've been going there for 7 years and always walk out, thankful this place exists. It's a Taqueria, not a tex- Mex restaurant, so please don't leave reviews saying they should serve this and that. The love and passion that is put into every dish is makes me happy, a professional will judge a restaurant on there sauces, if they take pride in there sauces they will care pride in the rest of there dishes.the sauces at San juilan, ohhh the sauces!!, I can tell are cooked for hours with delicate love and care. Also, there are reviews here saying the margarita is not good, my friends, you must not be used to fresh squeezed fruit and tequila. Because that's what a margarita from Mother Earth should be!, not full of preservatives and dyes.San Julian, I will continue to be a fan and yell your name loud and proud, as the BEST!
The hype for this place is well deserved! The tacos here are delicious and we recommend you get the steak or Al pastor tacos because they have amazing flavor. All tacos are 3 dollars each and everything else is relatively inexpensive. The horchata here is cheap but tasty and they have a decent beer and margarita selection. Highly recommend this spot for authentic tacos and great vibes.
Visiting Naples, Fl and I wanted authentic Mexican Food;,checked the area and found this place!!! OMG this is the real deal. I love Mexican food and had tried it many times in trips to different places in Mexico. Everything we ordered was delicious! The Queso Birrias tacos , fresh guacamole and queso were the BEST!!! Definitely it is real Mexican cuisine! Kudos to the chef’s!!! Next time in town I will definitely returned.
Some of the best, if not the best, tacos in Naples. The taste and quality of food is outstanding. However, realistic expectations are required for the interior. It is a small (almost tiny) restaurant. There are only a few small tables. There is a constant stream of people lined up for takeout food and they could be standing close to your table if you decide to eat in. Most of the customers appeared to be ordering food to go. The place was non-stop when we were there during lunch. This is a great sign on the quality and authenticity of the food. There are a few additional tables outside. Parking options aren't huge, but adequate. It is a 'must stop' if you are looking for authentic tacos with high quality ingredients in Naples.
Best tacos in all of Naples. We're from the north so everytime we come to Naples we've tried to hunt down the best tacos after trying numerous place this is the best hands down. Now been coming here 6 years straight. If you're hungry for tacos check em out!
Fantastic, real Mexican food. The flour and corn tortillas were delicious. The salsas at the table were great (chipotle sauce was super Smokey and had nice heat, Tomatillo was great too). Horchata was So good. Definitely coming back.
Simple. Authentic. Awesome. I love the quesadilla- it's like a flour tortilla taco crisped on the grill. Guac is great. Queso dip is divine: white cheese and chilis. Fresh and flavorful pico de gallo rounded out a wonderful chips and dip trio. Cold beer and Mexican sodas available. Best in Naples!!
