This attention to detail shines through in every aspect, from the beautifully presented dishes to the warm hospitality of the waitstaff.
As a food reviewer, I was particularly excited to try the highly recommended New Orleans Steak. It did not disappoint. The steak, accompanied by perfectly seasoned potatoes and fresh vegetables, showcased a mastery of flavors. The sauce was deliciously rich while allowing the natural quality of the meat to shine through. Each bite was a reminder of why Santa Julia is so highly regarded among both locals and tourists alike.
Another standout was the Azteca soup—a comforting delight that exemplifies the heart of Mexican cuisine. Both rich and flavorful, it serves as the perfect start to any meal. For a touch of indulgence, I couldn't resist trying the homemade cheesecake. It was the perfect way to end the meal, rich yet light, and simply divine.

“ Delicious food and exceptional service. If I could give more stars, I would. Reasonable prices, especially for the quality of the food and service. Possibly convenient for tourists who don't speak Spanish: some of the waiters speak decent English and are very happy to speak English with customers. Menus are also available in both English and Spanish. For people not staying in the hotel: the restaurant ted inside the hotel courtyard and can be aed through the entrance of the Mision San Jose Hotel. ”
“ The New Orleans Steak was as good as it gets. It sauce was superb. The potatoes accompanying it had the right amount salt, cream, butter, etc. Its vegetables were healthy and perfectly cooked. The Azteca soup was perfect. The service is as good as it gets. Claudio did an outstanding job. The tequila and club soda came in separate containers and poured to verify their origins. Great attention to detail all around. My wife was equally impressed. ”
“ Just the best guacamole i had in Mexico lately. Place is so cute. A bit too cold for me inside so i sat outside. ”
“ It is a very nice Restaurant that ilcan be entered via Mission Sant Jose Hotel. They have a very charming and caring service. ”
“ Cooking was fresh with a good quality. The rib eye, Tamales and cheese cake(handmade) were delicious! Cheap price in relation to places with much more tourism, menu card is in spanish and english, waiters are extremely friendly (: ”
“ Exceptional service, very tasty food, for reasonable if not even cheap prices for the quality received. In addition, because it is so hidden in a hotel, not many people were there, which is in this case no quality criterion. So don't give up to early, just walk into the hotel at the street. I had the salmon with walnut crust, which was outstanding and I can highly recommend it, especially because I'm not a big fish fan, but loved the combination and taste. ”
“ This is absolutely our favorite restaurant in Chiapas! The restaurant is accessed through Hotel Mision San Jose. It’s a hidden gem! The steaks are superb, cooked to perfection each time and each version has its own unique flavor - New Orleans, queso azul etc. I’m pretty sure every dish at this restaurant is tasty and delicious. We also tried the Italian salad - with goats cheese, pear slices, caramelized nuts and balsamic dressing - delicious. And the coconut shrimp with orange sauce! And the service - especially from the hostess and meseras is the best - friendly, efficient and professional. Everything is clean and we keep returning! ”
