" I recently had dinner at Uncle Julio's and was and it was overall a pleasant experience. Our entrees were brought out quickly, which I appreciated as I was quite hungry. The fish tacos were flavorful and quite filling. The ambiance was festive, perfect for a night out. Unfortunately, the service lagged a bit when we needed refills, but we did enjoy our meal. Would love to come back and try something else on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just had dinner at Uncle Julio's, and it was overall a great choice! Start with the chips and salsa—so crispy and delightful. I chose the veggie enchiladas, which were wonderful but could have used a bit more seasoning. The waiter was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The only downside was that the restaurant was quite busy, making it a little too noisy for my taste. Overall, a solid restaurant for a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Uncle Julio's recently after hearing so many good things, and while I was optimistic, I left feeling a bit let down. The atmosphere was nice and lively, which I liked, but my fish tacos were rather bland and didn’t impress me at all. I appreciate the effort the staff made, but the timing felt off—there were too many delays. Perhaps it was just an off night for them. I might consider trying again in the future, but it didn't leave the best impression this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Uncle Julio's has always been a family favorite, but this particular visit didn't quite live up to the usual standards. The food was nice, but I could tell that they had cut back on some of the ingredients, which made the dishes seem less impressive than I remember. Also, the service was a bit hit or miss; it took a while for someone to come over and take our order, though they were friendly when they did arrive. My daughter enjoyed her birthday dessert, but due to the slow pacing, we left feeling a little rushed. I hope they uptick their game in the future because we do enjoy the atmosphere and potential of this restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a fun night out, this is the place to be! The vibrant decor and festive music really set the mood. I decided to try the fajitas, which were sizzling when they arrived at our table. They were tasty but not very spicy. One great thing is the portion size—enough for leftovers, which is always a plus. The service was friendly, although they seemed a bit overwhelmed that night. All things considered, it was a good experience overall, and I'd love to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Uncle Julio's last night for dinner. The first impression was lovely—the atmosphere is lively and welcoming. I had the mixed fajitas, and they came out sizzling and hot. The flavor was good, but I wouldn't classify it as 'authentic'—definitely more Tex-Mex. Service was friendly, albeit a bit slow at times. While it wasn't the best experience for truly authentic cuisine, I still appreciated the good vibes and tasty food overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" A solid meal at Uncle Julio's for sure! The portions were generous, and the food was pretty good—my chicken fajitas had a generous portion of chicken, and they were grilled just right. The atmosphere was nice, with a lively crowd. The service, however, was quite delayed, with our drinks taking longer than expected. Still, I'd say the food made up for it, and I'd consider returning.
