Stopped by Uncle Julio’s in Columbia and went with the chicken quesadilla. Simple choice, but they executed it right. The chicken was seasoned well, tender, and not dry which already puts them ahead of a lot of places pretending to be Mexican-inspired. The cheese was melted perfectly, not greasy, and the tortilla had a nice crisp without falling apart halfway through.
Portion size was solid, filling without being ridiculous. Everything came out hot and fresh, and the flavors were balanced instead of salty for no reason. Service was attentive and smooth, and the atmosphere was lively without being overwhelming.
Overall, a reliable spot when you want something familiar done properly. I’d definitely come back to work my way through more of the menu.

Uncle Julio’s had average food, but the service was absolutely impeccable. The staff were attentive and our waitress Nicauris friendly from start to finish, and the lively atmosphere made the whole experience enjoyable. A great spot if you’re looking for good vibes and excellent service.

We’ve been to Uncle Julio’s about four different times now, and every single visit the tortilla maker has NOT been working. One of the main reasons we come here is for the fresh tortillas, and it’s extremely disappointing that such a big part of the experience is always “out of order.”
At this point it feels like they just don’t care to fix it. For a restaurant that promotes fresh, handmade tortillas, it’s unacceptable that it’s been broken every time we’ve come.
We keep giving this place another chance, but nothing changes. Definitely not the experience you expect from a restaurant like this. We’re really disappointed.

This restaurant is pretty good. The staff is very friendly and food was delicious. This spot is perfect for a family gathering, date night or just stop by for happy hour. I would definitely recommend it to anyone:)

Table-side guac was delicious and worth the money. The salsa and skinny margarita were good. However, I wasn’t impressed by the shrimp fajitas. I have never been served it with butter before, so that was a first. There were barely any peppers (literally one red pepper slice and one green pepper slice) and lots of onions. I have had better beans and rice elsewhere.
