Julio's Burritos Knickerbocker Road

The choice of eggs, bacon, sausage, guiso, barbacoa, potatoes and a host of other fillings folded inside a flour tortilla is a popular staple in Texas. In San Angelo they are known as breakfast burritos. However in Del Rio and elsewhere along the border, the same delicacy is called a breakfast taco. Whatever they should be called is incidental. The Knickerbocker location, and the expanded menu was an overwhelming success.

It has been so successful that Julio's also sells breakfast burritos direct to the public at its S. Chadbourne location as well. The menu is expanding. The Julio's Big and Juicy Home Style Burgers are now on sale for lunch at all locations. It is sold in a burger basket, complete with fries, all seasoned with the famous Julio's seasoning. 'We don't buy the patties, instead we make the patties out of fresh ground meat,� Jose explained. Complimented with fresh lettuce, tomato, and onions, the burger basket is a popular choice for today's patrons.

In 2006, Julio's expanded its restaurant business by adding a third location at 720 W. 29th St. in North San Angelo. Of course the business model is working, and that is the main reason for the expansion. However, Jose has another explanation to offer. Last year, his wife Brenda gave birth to their third child, Leeanna. 'Now that I have three children, I have one location for each,� Jose said laughing.

Jose still works closely with his brother Miguel in Del Rio. Down South, Julio's built a major manufacturing plant to handle the ever-growing list of wholesale accounts in South Texas and Houston. Miguel also borrowed a page out of Jose's book by opening a full service restaurant.

Looking toward the future, Jose remains focused on growth. The 1985 graduate of Del Rio High School is still young. Today, Julio's in San Angelo has 25 employees. In the future, Jose anticipates he will upgrade and add capacity to the factory here (and add more jobs). He is also anticipating opening a full service sit-down restaurant.

Jose's success, like his father's, is due to his adamant desire to provide his customers with friendly, courteous service and his products with the highest quality ingredients. Jose's wife Brenda helps with the business. They have three children, Jose Jr., Adriana, and Leeanna.

Julio's is open Monday through Friday 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. at all three locations. They serve breakfast and lunch 'to go.� In addition, Julio's Corn Chips are available on the chip aisle at all major supermarkets and convenience stores in the region. If you haven't already, make sure to try them with Julio's Salsa, hot or mild. They're delicious!
