Julia's Mesquite Mexican Grill

The food here is FANTASTIC. I personally ordered the pollo asado and it was a very nice blend with the sautéed vegetables and cheese. We had a huge party of almost 20 people and yet the waiters got everyone's drink out very quickly and the food followed not even ten minutes later. Staff was very friendly. The place was vibrant and welcoming. Perfect for a mexican restaurant. Although, the outside could use some glamor.

We stopped in for lunch while in town visiting friends for a wedding. This place is really nice inside, lots of bright decor and art. Parking was a breeze and we were seated immediately. The service was good and really fast. I ordered a frozen strawberry margarita and it was pretty much just juice, there was very minimal tequila for the price tag of $17. Honestly, everything was a bit pricey. For food, I ordered the mango salmon and mashed potatoes. It was pretty good until about half way through I noticed a dead fly laying face up on my plate. It was pretty bad and the fly didn 't just happen to land there it was in the sauce under the salmon. I let our server know and he let his manager know. Not one person apologized or even seemed to care that I had an entire dead fly in my food. The manager just said they 'd send another one and it may take a while . I ended up telling my server I didn 't want it anymore and just don 't worry about it. He didn 't understand me and they still brought out a new plate. I was with a party of 9 and by the time it came out everyone was done eating. We asked to have it removed from the bill and they did remove it then. But we shouldn 't have had to ask. Also, my meal price on the menu was $17 and on the receipt it was $19. So that was odd. Before I noticed the fly, my meal was good. But after that it was downhill. I hope things improve at this spot. Seems like it could be a nice place overall.

Dropped in with the family for lunch and had a great time. Parking was easy, quickly seated, and the food came out quick and to order.

Wow- just wow. Look at the response the hostess just gave me on Yelp two months later. However, I just spoke with the manager by phone, and he informed me that this hostess quit rather than be fired that night after he had a conversation with her about her attitude. I appreciate the manager's professionalism.

Great food and great service! I love their location in Monticello too, both have great management!
