Reviews for Papa Julio's Mexican Grill and Bar in Seneca, SC

VERY beautiful inside, great lighting, adequate and ample seating, (careful with the chairs some of them were on their last... leg) Service was friendly and fast, our drinks were always filled and our food came out the way we had requested it fine. Foodwas good, the plates they serve dinner on are monstrous so be mindful of that if you're ordering as a large group for atable. On the way to the restrooms you'll see a wondeful opportunity to pose from a picture with angel wings on the wall. Thehallway to the restrooms was almost my favorite part of dinning in. Talk about spooky and pretty. The women's restroom has twoseparate stalls- the handicap toilet was not flushing, beautiful spooky wallpaper though. It's nice to see good restaurantscome to the area. You can tell the owners and managers are passionate, organized, and good at their jobs. We will definitely beback and will bring our friends and families along next time! Read more

This place was definitely hoppin? when we arrived. It didn?t start well while we waited for the hostess to get off her mobile... phone (she was giggling at the messages she was receiving and we saw her do this many times). However, once seated, things gotbetter. Our server was prompt, courteous and attentive. The initial chips and salsa were delivered almost instantly. Our mealswere very tasty and the portions were plentiful. We would definitely return when in the area, but next time I might politely askthe hostess to find mother time or place to use her phone. She changed a 5 star experience into 4 stars. Read more

The chips and salsa were pretty good. I had cheese enchiladas which were also decent. Rice and beans were pretty good. Husband... had a beef quesadilla which was weird and had ground beef instead of steak or beef strips. He couldn?t eat it. Oysters weredecent too. Service was fine. I?d go back. Read more

Went for lunch and really enjoyed our meal. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and indoor and outdoor seating in downtown... Seneca. The stater chips and salsa were excellent and you get salsa and bean dip. We had the steak Mexican tacos and the lunchportion fried shrimp. Both were delicious. And you can see from the pictures you get a very large portion of shrimp. Even thoughthe prices are just a bit higher than similar restaurants in the area I think the quality of the food and downtown atmospherejustify that. Will definitely be going back in the future.

Papa J's was staffed up and ready to handle a big crowd for Jazz on the Alley Thursday night! Chorizo, Al Pastor, and Carnitas... tacos were good! Read more

Came here Saturday night for a pre-Mother's Day celebration and it was amazing! We made reservations in advance just in case.... When we came in we got to choose the style of table we wanted so we chose the high top since my nieces love that style of tableso much. Our server was awesome. He made sure everyone was taken care of and was happy with our meals. My niece ordered aveggie meal and it didn't say on the menu that they covered it with a red sauce. When it came out she was not too happy with itso they took it back and remade her one with no issue. All of our specialty drinks were great and the food was even better. Theatmosphere and decor are also on point. A very great place to check out if you haven't already. We'll definitely be returning Read more

This place was slammed. Standing room only. Constant flow of people in and out. But the service was still good. Margaritas were... great. Chicken fajitas were outstanding. The best I have had in a long time. I definitely plan to go back, but not on a Thursdaynight. Read more

Very small menu everything was child-sized Margaritas were in sippy cup. Overpriced 4 left hungry bill was a hundred bucks.... Decorah was real nice but the sound was so loud in there you couldn't even hear yourself think cannot have a conversationwithout having to yell I was so glad I left my hearing aids at home. Shout out to Taco riendo best Mexican food out there theyknow quality when they see it and quantity. When I order a large queso I expect a large queso not a little petri dish. Updateupdate update Mexicans took over fantastic menu great drinks large orders of food Read more
