This was the worst experience I've ever had. I will say it was primarily created by the waitress. I was so upset by the time management came over, I didn't want to discuss anything. I just wanted my check and to leave. Let me preface this with, They did offer to comp it, but that wasn't my request. I had to ask the manager over five times for the check. This only increased my frustration as I'd already asked the waitress, supervisor, and a random waiter who was probably sent to smooth things over. The waitress didn't greet our table like she did all the others. She seemed rushed but only at our table. I watched her exchange pleasantries multiple times with other tables but not ours. We literally had five different people( I counted) to come to our table with different things...one with drinks, one with salsa, one with chips etc. . The drinks(flavored tea) were inconsistent. Waitress claims to have been making them herself and she was confused with why we had a problem with them. At one point my older son switched from a mango tea to a mango lemonade but he couldn't taste the mango and she took offense to that. Maybe because I had already let her know my appetizer wasn't right. My husband's raspberry tea looked the same as my toddler's mango tea on the refill; It was clearly a pinkish color the first glass. I was never asked if I wanted a refill. I was told our food was already in the window but the salmon "can't be rushed." It took an additional 7 minutes for us to receive our food. Keep in mind I put our food order in at the same time I put the appetizer in. The appetizer was received within 10 minutes (blanco queso missing the added beef as ordered) but they didn't bring any chips for it. The chips we had at that point was for the salsa which is not appealing in look but doesn't taste bad. I'm just not a fan. The guys liked it enough for one bowl to be half eaten. Another waitstaff member offered chips after our long awaited meal was being placed on the table. At this point, it's useless as the queso is cold and stiff. Two people that came in at the same time(my husband held the outside door and the other guy held the inside door) was finished with their meal and gone before we even received our food. A father and daughter that came in around 20 minutes after us had even received their meals before us. When the food did arrive it was cold as one would expect, as it had been sitting for over the 7 minutes that we were aware of. My toddler's "kidsadilla" was so cold when he tried to pick one slice up all the slices came up together. My food was literally room temp. Not slightly over or anything. My older kid's meal was also cold but my husband salmon that "couldn't be rush" was significantly over cooked. The combination of everything over that entire hour and to receive cold food is why we left without eating. I paid as some people think individuals only complain to get a free meal. It's a shame after years of hearing about this place and finally having a chance to be near one my excitement was quickly thwarted . Maybe your experience will better but I will not be returning.

One look at my fajita bowl and I knew that this isn’t typical Tex Mex. It tasted fresh and light and was just the right serving size. Service was friendly and attentive. I definitely recommend Uncle Julio’s.

Very popular place obviously, crowded and lots of family of very diverse dining parties, many with kids, and one large group there for what looked like an office event. They have automated text waiting list and needed that because of the line at this time of the year with all the holiday celebrations. Staff very busy but still pleasant and patient. New item Beef Barbacoa Fajitas was braised and a hit with wife today! Great taste and value for family dining!
