Don Julio Mexican Restaurant

About

Don Julio Mexican Restaurant sits in the Capital Boulevard shopping corridor in Wake Forest, with a full Mexican menu and a bar that people go out of their way for. The margaritas get most of the credit.

It works for a weeknight dinner and for a birthday table just as well. Diners rate it 4.5 stars across nearly 1,200 Google reviews, and the fresh watermelon margarita comes up again and again in what they write. The bar keeps a long margarita list, and it explains why a lot of the tables are full.
