| - Last night I met up with a friend of mine that I haven't seen for a few years. I let him decide where we should go and he took me to Julio's Barrio.
First of all, its location is prime. Right in the heart of Kensington, it's actually where the old Red Robin used to be. I have fond memories of the Red Robin, so clearly I was already partial to the location.
When we got inside a friendly server took us to a booth. I love booths, so you can imagine my delight.
Everyone gets chips & salsa to start, and they are VERY tasty. Had I not checked myself, I probably would have filled up on them and had no room left for dinner. But don't worry fellow Yelpers, I was on my best behaviour and only had a few :)
The first thing I noticed about Julio's menu is that it's VERY vegetarian-friendly! Nachos, Tacos, Burritos, OH MY! Plus Enchiladas, Chimichangas, Quesadillas....you get the point. I LOVE when restaurants have things for me to eat, I really do.
I ended up ordering the veggie Enchiladas and they were very tasty! Believe it or not, after inhaling chips, salsa and a full plate of veggie Enchiladas, I STILL had room for dessert. We split (uh, more like i ate 90% of it all on my own) the Mexican Fried Ice Cream. I love fried ice cream and I wasn't disappointed by their take on it.
I would recommend Julio's Barrio as a cool, hip Mexican hang out.
Make your way over and remember to have a Margarita for me when you do.
