I understand that this location was incredibly busy when we went, but it took a half hour for our drinks to arrive. I ordered a... margarita with a salt rim and this is what I was served. We had to ask twice for water, which arrived after we started eating.My quesadilla was cold, but my boyfriend liked his dish. We then waited another half hour after eating for our waitress to pickup our credit card and check. Overall, not a great experience here and based on other locations of this restaurant, we won’tbe going back. Read more

This restaurant had a bit of a wait which turned out great because we had to sit at the bar and met Zach. He made us feel so... welcome and really made a boring night out actually fun. Great personality, quick and professional service. I’m ready to comeback and hang with my buddy Zach at the bar. It was my first time here and he definitely left a lasting impression. Read more

The food here is just alright. This isn't the best Uncle Julio's by a long shot. Bad acoustics, so when it gets crowded, it's... really loud. The decor is all mismatched. Different flooring, different wallpapers, random paintings and mirrors all over. Forthe food... The chips were half acceptable, half stale. Enchiladas were on the bland side, the chicken honestly didn't lookfully cooked. Chicken bowl has mushy rice, barely any chicken, and only a tiny spoonful of guacamole. Our margarita was saltedon only one side....? Strange. The food and service are still fast, and the location is convenient. But there's somethingreally wrong here, it's better to try some local food instead. Read more

My friend loves the Mexican food and this one is in out neighborhood which seems popular. We were very excited about trying... it. first we walked in the restaurant. The host brought us to a table in a very crowded area. I would understand if we have nomore table options. But there were plenty tables next to the window. And when I asked to sit by the window where have threeempty tables, she said no we can’t get those seats without any reasons. Not reserved or anything. I don’t what was goingon… 15 mins later there were two couple got the tables next to the window …. Second the server was pretty good. We like theservice. But the tortillas tasted not very fresh and the fish taco had a bit strong spice on it. Other than that it’s okay. Read more

Only two other tables, but still a long wait on drinks, refills, and food even with lots of staff. Had to remind server about... drink order. Asked for a refill on tea and salsa and I guess we irked the server because he was very unpleasant the rest of ourmeal. Food was mediocre at best. Disappointed after hearing so many great things. Fish tacos were dry, rice was bland, I'd liketo taste more than just cheese when eating the enchiladas. Salsa was good. Read more
