The restaurant itself is a big space. Host was friendly and sat me immediately. The chips tasted store-bought, and both salsas were complete flops – one oily and both missing any heat whatsoever. We ordered quite a few different things. We ordered the table side guacamole. But witnessing them reuse the guacamole spatulas without washing between tables was a major turn-off, had we known that we wouldn't have ordered the guacamole. Our first table was so crooked/wobbly drinks were spilling so they finally switched us to another table. We got 2 tortilla soups but got one at a time and the first one got spilled all over the plate. The carnitas tacos were pretty good but nothing special. The pechuga de pollo was enough for two. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, great choice for sharing. I did get a pomegranate margarita that was really good. It was refreshing and not overly sweet. The wait staff seemed perpetually busy elsewhere, forcing us to constantly flag them down just to clear dirty dishes, the staff was very friendly though. I just think there are better Mexican places to go for good Mexican, especially for the price.

I went to Uncle Julio’s on June 9th 2023 at 9:00pm , I went in to dine in but sat there for 40 minutes with no service only chips and water.. NO WAITER STOPPED TO ASK ME IF I NEEDED SERVICE OR IF SOMEONE HAD TAKEN MY ORDER… THE PICTURE ATTACHED IS A GROUP OF CAUCASIAN MEN (about 6-8) THAT CAME IN AND GOT CHIPS, WATER, AND THEIR ORDERS TAKEN AFTER THEY GOT THEIR WATER POURED NO LONGER THAN 5 MINUTES!! I HAD TO ASK A WAITER TO GIVE ME A WAITER BUT BY THAT TIME IT WAS ALREADY 40 MINUTES!! THE WAITER THAT I REQUESTED TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE I WAS ON A FACETIME CALL THAT THEY DIDN'T WANNA BOTHER ME BUT I HAVE NEVER HAD THAT PROBLEM AT A RESTAURANT EVER!! THEY DIDN'T EVEN COME BACK TO SEE IF I WAS STILL ON THE PHONE CALL OR NOT SINCE THAT WAS THEIR REASONING ON NOT SERVING ME.. I SPOKE TO THE MANAGER AND SHE SAID THEY WERE CONFUSED ON WHO MY WAITER WAS SO WITH THAT BEING SAID EITHER THE WAITER OR THE MANAGER WAS TELLING A LIE.. I WILL NOT BE GOING BACK TO THIS RESTAURANT AND SPENDING A PENNY.. THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST SERVICES THAT I HAVE EVER CAME ACROSS.. THIS WAS MY FIRST AND LAST TIME GOING TO THIS RESTAURANT…

The host and our server were great. The food on the other hand was beyond terrible. The chicken was gummy, pink, and bubbly. The chicken looked boiled instead of grilled. Chicken fajitas aren’t supposed to looked like the attached photo. The manager was somewhat understanding but I think just overall the food was terrible. They did change the menu recently obviously it showed because the food was not worth eating nor paying for. Also was told soggy skin on grilled chicken fajitas was “normal”…Even the spicy margarita we ordered today compared to a couple months ago was a total 180. The drink looked like they just threw it together, presentation was awful. They are also putting coleslaw on everything which makes zero sense and just adds to the already awful food. Would not recommend coming here unless it’s a last resort and you didn’t have any other option.
