Julio's Cafe has been serving Hyde Park since 1983, making it one of the longer-running Mexican restaurants in Austin. Owner Claudia has become a fixture in her own right, with regulars crediting her presence as part of what keeps them coming back.
The kitchen turns out homemade chips and salsas alongside enchiladas and fajitas that have built a following among an established regular crowd. Service leans warm and welcoming, the kind that comes from decades of repeat faces in the dining room.
Julio's Cafe has a spot on the Eater 38, recognition that lines up with its standing as a neighborhood staple.
