Julio’s Corner

Widely celebrated as one of Aruba’s most authentic “hidden gems,” Julio’s Corner is a legendary food truck tucked away in a surprising location—the parking lot of a bowling alley in Noord. This vibrant mobile kitchen is a masterclass in Venezuelan street food, offering a high-energy, late-night sanctuary for those seeking bold, zesty flavors away from the polished resort strips. Known for its “huge portions” and rich, traditional recipes, Julio’s has earned a cult following among locals and savvy travelers who appreciate the craft of a perfectly grilled Pepito or a loaded Patacón.
The atmosphere isquintessential island street-food: casual, bustling, and unpretentious. While the setting is a simple parking lot, the service provided by Julio and his team is remarkably attentive, often utilizing buzzers so guests can wait comfortably in their cars during peak hours. Whether you are finishing a late shift or craving a post-party feast, Julio’s Corner provides a “soulful” culinary experience that captures the true flavor of the Caribbean-Venezuelan fusion that defines much of Aruba’s street-side dining.
