The best authentic Mexican food and definitely made with love as advertised. The place is cute as can be, clean, places to eat inside and out, friendly service, made fresh, fresh ingredients. Looking forward to more meals here.

MY ONLY REGRET IS I ONLY HAVE 5 STARS TO GIVE. We have eaten all over the keys and this is one of the few places we would repeat in a heartbeat. We came from Texas so our expectations for Mexican food is very high and holy guacamole this place was so flavorful. The sign says “made with love” and abuelita behind the grill definitely put extra love in our food. Doesn’t matter what you get, it’s delicious.

**A MUST if you’re in the Keys and craving amazing, authentic Mexican food!** We stumbled upon Julie’s while traveling to Key West and needed a spot for dinner. The glowing reviews caught our eye, so we decided to stop — and we’re so glad we did. The food was absolutely incredible. My daughter said she wished she could give them 16 stars! I had the Garlic Shrimp and told my husband it was one of those dishes you think about long after the meal is over. My son had the chicken gordita, and my daughter had the steak tostada — everyone devoured their food. If you’re anywhere near this place, go. You won’t be disappointed!

We were on our way to Key West and stopped at Julie’s Kitchen because we were hungry and looking for something vegetarian — and we’re so glad we did! We had the Tacos Autenticos Supremos (with corn tortilla, beans, lettuce, queso fresco, sour cream), the Gorditas (stuffed corn tortilla with refried beans, lettuce, queso fresco, sour cream), and the Sopes (fried corn tortilla topped with the same delicious mix). Everything was super fresh and full of flavor — especially the green habanero salsa, which was an absolute highlight. The combination of beans, lime, creamy sour cream and cheese was just perfect. You can really taste the homemade quality. A spontaneous stop that turned into one of our favorite food experiences — highly recommended!

Food delicious, fresh and affordable. I had a Plato Armado and this came with corn tortillas hot soft and tasty . Great place for a quick pick and go or dine in. Very satisfied Highly recommend it

One of the best restaurants we visited while on vacation. Everyone was pleasant and patient with explaining the menu as my kids are selective eaters. Great customer service was displayed, and it did not take our food long to receive. I wish there was one in Georgia . Thank you for the great service!

I went to try the torta oaxaquena which was really good, big portion and packed with flavor. Also they had Mexican apple soda which is one of my favorites. The rest is decorated with pictures from Julie’s family and important details about her life which made this restaurant really unique and meaningful. I would love to try more of the menu items hope I can go back!
