Uncle Julio's

A great time making memories. Original plan was to hit the yard house but the wait was crazy. Not much better here but we opted the lesser. Our waiter Joe was awesome. I like when someone doesn't need to go over friendly and is a model of efficiency. He was Johnny on the Spot all night. We started with queso bierra and had fajitas for mains. Awesome on all accounts and the house made tortillas were spectacular. The place has a great look and relatively open kitchen. Great time and grateful to the team here.

I stopped in Sunday night without a reservation at first the hostess seem irritated that I didn't have a reservation, and since I was dining alone, wanted to put me at the bar. I hate eating at the bar and said I would prefer a table and again she seemed a little flustered by that, but did eventually seat me out a table.I ordered the enchilada combo with the cheese and onion and ground beef enchilada and asked for their mild sauce. The sauce seemed to overpower the flavor of everything else in the enchilada. I really couldn't taste the cheese or the ground beef. I could see it there, but couldn't really taste it however, the enchiladas were hot and fresh . The beans however, came like they were had been pre-served earlier in the evening and I've been sitting in under a heat lamp as they were only lukewarm.I thought the price was reasonable

Food was really good but that was the only thing positiveWaited 30 minutes before we had to tell someone that the sodas didn't come to the table Waited nearly an hour for food although the restaurant was close to empty when we first arrivedAsked for sour cream to use with my enchiladas 20 minutes ago. Just showed up but I'm done eating. Son in law ordered another drink for my daughter. It never came. Had to get up and ask for a manager to tell them Terrible, terrible service. And, if you look at my reviews you can see that I almost give everybody great reviews. For me to review a restaurant poorly means they were really bad.I'm sad that I had to write this review.

Cannot recommend. Ordered the 'spicy pina'Margarita, which allegedly had muddled pineapple and jalapeño - but there was not even a hint of Chile heat. The drink also was watery. The salsa that came out with the chips likewise didn't have any spiciness whatsoever.Given those factors, I was not willing to gamble on getting a bland entree - I paid for the drink and left.

Walked right in on a Thursday night and was served right away. To start, we got the chips and salsa delivered and ordered a beer and a Paloma. Spicy salsa was delicious but the chips given were all broken like we got the bottom of the batch. Beer was cold but the Paloma was way too sweet for my liking. For our entrees, my spouse got the barbacoa fajitas and I got the steak fajita bowl. The fajitas were good but my steak bowl barely had any good pieces of steak. We left hungry after spending $68.

Came back for the amazing fire roasted salsa!It was pretty busy when we got here.The restaurant was bustling with activity!Bad idea to come to I drive on a Friday night though.... The server was extremely friendly and took fast care of us, but it took over an hour for the food to come to the table.My guest got the Baja fish tacos and I got the shrimp and crab enchiladas.

Uncle Julio's used to be our favorite Mexican restaurant in Orlando until this last visit yesterday. Apparently they have made lots of changes to the menu removing some staple food items. They removed Chile con Queso from the menu and replaced it with Queso Blanco. Uncle Julio's was the only restaurant in town with proper Queso, now they are just like every other Mexican restaurant in town. Queso Blanco is bland and has a much different consistency that the proper yellowish orange Chili con Queso. Additionally, my Mom has a few staples that she likes to order at proper Mexican restaurants and she wanted a Chile Relleno. Well, this also was not an option. They talked her into ordering what they say was similar which turned out to be what appeared to be a small chili chimichanga, supposedly with cheese sauce but it was just melted shredded cheese on top. Not at all close to what she wanted. Another family member ordered chicken and steak fajitas and the chicken had skin on it. I've never ever seen chicken fajitas with the skin on it. One member of our party wanted to order vegetable fajitas (grilled vegetables) and was told that they don't have that anymore too. How hard is it to grill some vegetables up?Uncle Julio's is where we go when we want great Mexican food and when we are celebrating something like we were yesterday. This restaurant is an hour from our house with traffic which hasn't been a problem to get great food that we love...with these changes in the menu and removal of our favorite items unique to Uncle Julio's in Orlando, I don't know if we need to make that drive through heavy traffic to experience. This makes us sad.

Visited this place after a Yelp Event and was seated promptly on a Saturday afternoon.I ordered the chicken tacos and fish tacos. Both were well-seasoned and flavorful, I really enjoyed them. However, there was a noticeable taste of canola oil on the chips and the hard shells of the tacos.I was told by others that the fish tacos were large portions for the price, but the flavor wasn't the most outstanding.The strawberry lemonade was delicious and tasted very fresh.It's a bit of a shame they don't offer elote corn on their menu, as I would have loved to try that. Overall, it's a decent spot with good food, but the oil flavor in some of the items was a bit of a turn-off.* The music choice was pretty good as well, a lot of classic Spanish songs.

First, this restaurant is beautiful. I love the decor and having plenty of space at the table.The food was delicious! I wish this place was closer to me, but we'll be back for sure. The guacamole is prepared fresh at your table and was delicious. The chips are freshly made as well and they're thin and crispy. Some of the best I've ever had, frankly. The seasoning on the fajitas was very good but did not overpower the meat. That happens often in other places. This was done just right. The corn tortillas are amazing as well!The staff was friendly, welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable. I have a gluten analogy so it's important to me to have a staff that knows what they're doing. A+.!

This is THE best restaurant I like 3 hours away and I come whenever I can. The food is amazing I have NEVER been dissapointed this restaurant constantly exceeds my expectations and when I went for my birthday recently I had the best service very nice and charasmatic servers. The ambiance is also amazing and I am excited for my next visit.
