Uncle Julio’s once was my favorite restaurant for it’s convenient location, beautiful view outside, friendly service and delicious food. However, I was disappointed this time.It was a Monday noon. There was only 3 or 4 tables of guests. The restaurant looked very dark - a feeling of dirty. The surface of our table was sticky. We had to wiped it using our own cleaning tissue. It was a very unpleasant feeling, especially during the pandemic. And, the outdoor seating was closed.The staff looked very friendly. But he kept prompting us to order more and more. It gave me a uncomfortable feeling.The portion of food was large. There was nowhere to put more plates but our orders were still coming out of kitchen - for the best taste/flavor of food, we didn’t expect to take home so much leftover.The food was ok. Especially, the guacamole was still my favorite.Anyway, I may not go there for a while.

We went to celebrate my grandson’s birthday, he loved the piñata ! Food as usual was great, service that day was not excellent but acceptable, drinks decent

Good food, great service, very busy restaurant. If going on a Sunday it’s best to go in before 1230 if you don’t want to wait. Their food was very fresh and tasty. The salsa tasted different than the usual Mexican Salsa which I didn’t think I liked at first but after eating a couple more bites it was actually very good. I would also highly recommend the fajitas and strawberry lemonade.

You can never go wrong with enchiladas. They were very delicious and flavorful. I will definitely be going back.

Deliciosa comida mexicana, super recomendado, I love this places all food is super delicious ?..

The service was good but the food was not. The grilled chicken in the fajitas and the enchiladas was extremely dry and bitter, it had a strange odor as well. The rice was dry as well and the non-alcoholic specialty drinks were watered down. The best thing on this menu was the Honey Chipotle Grilled Salmon. The price of the food was extremely inflated for the the quality and flavor of the food.

Great place to have fun with friends

What a great experience! Great place and environment. Amazing service and awesome food. 100% recommended.

We went to celebrate my daughter birthday of many restaurant we chose this uncle Julio but it was crazy we did reservations on line and only allowed 12 people them when we got there we need extra table and the manager was no polite he told me rude way you should call the restaurant. I keep my words because just to see a manager given a bad customer service but I was so happy there was a nice lady there that she understands she was so nice with customer the lady should be a manger not that unprofessional manager with rude customer service.This was my first time and will be my last time to go there to celebrate birthdays. I have been other restaurant and they do very good on birthdays gathering. This restaurant doesn’t not care or sing happy birthday for their customers like other restaurants. And because all this the food got me sickness.

Other than the floors being a little slippery, the food is great. I love the selection of tequilas. If you are concerned about crowds, arrive before 6pm.
