Quecho

"We wanted to eat at classic American diner places at Julian and get pie later. Since there was over 1 hour wait time, we decided to come to Quecho and discovered that everything we ate was amazing!!! Both vegetarian and chicken dishes were tasty and filling. Portion sizes were also generous. I would totally recommend eating at Quecho :)"

"Small spot in the heart of Julian with only about 22 seats indoors but lots more outdoor seating available when the weather cooperates. Straightforward menu done well which is much better than a huge menu full of average options. The Pollo Enchilada special is great. Others in the party enjoyed the chicken burrito bowl, a bean and cheese burrito and chicken tacos. Highly recommend."

"We ran across this mexican place by accident. It's on a back street so you kind have to look for it. The margaritas are some of the best we've ever had. We ordered the seven taco lunch as well as a large order of guacamole. I was a bit surprised how tiny the tacos were even though they are street tacos. You'll see by my photo what I mean."

"We were looking forward to dining at Quecho as they received awesome Google reviews and thankfully, by the time we arrived there wasn’t a wait. The ambiance was relaxed and the AC worked well which we appreciated on such a hot day. Our waitress was also incredibly nice and welcoming. We ordered the chef’s taco plate which consisted of two carnitas, pollo and carne asada tacos. Sadly, the carnitas and pollo were dry and bland. The carne asada had a little flavor, but there were unchewable pieces. The spicy salsa was delicious though. It helped add the clearly lacking flavor. We also ordered Mr. Manitas’ famous nachos and the best part of this dish were the chips. They were crunchy and salty. The carne asada on this plate had less flavor, but they were at least tender and tasted fresher. The cheese was too strong and the salsa had no depth. Overall, another disappointing dish. My daughter ordered their bean and cheese burrito and sadly, this too, was insipid. Luckily, their rice was decent enough that my daughter ate that instead. For dessert, we tried to order a Julian apple pie, but they were sold out. What?! We are in Julian, known for apple pies and there is literally, an apple pie shop down the street. It seems like it should be the one dessert, well stocked. I also ordered their classic margarita and it was just alright. It was a little sweeter than I preferred. We spent, with tip $92.72. Their prices were quite reasonable, but unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend the food."

"Just off the main road, so you won’t see it if you don’t turn up into the neighborhood. Friendly staff. Lots of outdoor dining perfect for a nice day. When they say the molcajete is enough to feed 2 people, they aren’t kidding. The dish itself could use a little work as there wasn’t much depth of flavor. If it wasn’t for the spicy salsa we got on the side, then it would’ve been too bland for my preference. Washing it down with a locally brewed jalapeño beer was fantastic."
