Julius — Restaurant in Erie

Located in one of Erie's historic buildings, Julius is a fantastic addition to the fine dining checklist. My wife and I were married in the Maennerchor Club years before Mr. Reyes began offering this exquisite Mexican experience. We were excited to return and reminisce about the old style structure and historic experience we had during our wedding planning stages. Along with a handful of both small and large plates, Julio Reyes' dinner specials will keep your tastebuds entertained and provides a reason to return often. Don't let it fool you though, a small plate is definitely more than an appetizer and very sharable. A table of four could easily order them all and share for a great meal!

Having the Tostadillas before this meal made it tough to finish. Not to mention all meals are served with a simple cup of homemade soup. If you have enough room, you might try the Flan or Plantains for a sweet treat. Mr. Reyes personally greeted and served us.

Including the Mojito, probably the best I've tasted- freshest ingredients and...

Julius is a gem in Erie. Do not miss a chance for a meal here. The cuisine is central and southern Mexican. Oaxacan mole sauce, but with a different twist. We each had versions.

Cilantro and seasonal peppers gave it a different look. We had shrimp appetizers, served in a garlic butter/oil, but the oil was not overwhelming, allowing the shrimp to come through with the seasonings. We tried both house margaritas, sharing of course, and enjoyed them. They differed only in the tequila, and one was slightly more sour. Loved the food and...
