Save your taste buds and eat someplace else.

I rarely write negative reviews, especially for vegan experiences, but this place was not worth going to. I’m really surprised to see all the positive reviews. They definitely get some points for having a separate vegan menu, but I feel like having vegan options should be standard nowadays, not something to be lauded for. We started off with guacamole and chips and salsa and an order of beans and rice. Big points to them for not having chicken broth in their rice nor lard in their beans, and those dishes were fine, if plain. The guacamole and pico de gallo were awful, and you could tell that they were not made in the restaurant, but came in packaging from a warehouse. The guacamole tasted more like preservatives than avocados. 😝

I think most people come here to drink and the food is a second thought so they don’t need to make the quality very high. The appetizers were so bad that we didn’t order anything else and left soon after paying. One other reviewer mentioned that it was noisy here, and to me that’s an understatement. It felt like a huge party zone with food thrown in as an afterthought. There are so many amazing restaurants in the city; I would highly recommend passing on this one. 

Pros: Fresh chips, Friendly staff

Cons: Extremely noisy, Gross food, Heavy drinking culture

Love the vegan options!

Mexican with a separate vegan menu! I’ve loved everything I’ve tried. It is very loud though.

Good food, great atmosphere amazing patio

Julios in the summer is the place to be on 82nd avenue. It’s just as good in the dead of winter, but the party pouring out onto the sidewalk feel is in full effect when the sun is out. Always packed full of friends, family and folks out having a great time. This Mexican mainstay in Edmonton, has clearly marked vegan options which are plentiful and really good.

If you like tequila and mezcal, Julios will offer something you like.

Great staff, and the place feels welcoming to everyone.

Pros: Clearly marked vegan menu, Lots of vegan options , Great patio

Vegan options

There are quite a few vegan options available, but there is definitely way better vegan food elsewhere in Edmonton. Its an option if you are going with non-vegans.

Pros: Nice atmosphere

Cons: Food isn't the best

Fun venue and lots of options.

There is a separate menu with a lot of options available. Everything tasted great and the open air style venue was really fun.

Giant Vegan Burrito

Ask for the vegan menu! They have a separate sheet with all the vegan options listed. I ordered the burrito which was served with refried beans, Mexican rice, and corn salad. (As listed on the menu which is also available online on their website by the way.) It was absolutely delicious, I could eat here every day. And I love tequila so.

Pros: Fun atmosphere

Cons: No vegan desserts.
