“Some of the most amazing and accommodating staff in the Columbia area. The staff here at Uncle Julio’s go above and beyond when it comes to your evening out and family’s needs. I personally highly recommend dining here. Beautiful and quiet patio area for you to sit. Indoor seating is just as authentic as well. All food is made from scratch, fresh daily. Table-side guacamole is an experience you must indulge in especially for you avocado lovers! Not to mention their chocolate piñata that is perfect for any occasions! So interactive and delicious. 10/10! Don’t just take my word for it but go try it out for yourself, you won’t be disappointed. Last but not least you can set up rewards with them and earn so many things through their points system! 😊“

“DMV Taqueria food truck is highly recommended! It’s smart to call in your order as they’ve grown in popularity as the word’s gotten out. My neighbor loves their chicken quesadillas. My favorite is the shrimp quesadillas, but honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of the menu items. I understand the churros are a favorite too, though I’ve not personally tried them. The drive home is brutal. The food smells so amazing, I can’t park the car fast enough. 5⭐️“

“Overall a good choice in the area! Good homemade chips, very tasty and surprisingly spicy salsa. The California burrito was delicious and full of flavor. No flavor in the guac unfortunately. The spicy margarita was lacking any spiciness and a little watered down but not bad. Happy hour margs are limited to a single flavor each day.“

Pupusas

“I can still taste the papusas as I write this; I want itto be fresh in my face as I review!

I walked in last weekend and had the best steak tacos I've had in the area. I was looking for a place to sit and wait, this was not it. No dine-in here, take out and delivery only, but it's so good! It's hidden behind the the police station of the long Reach Village Center.

Tonight, I used store front delivery to feed my family. It got here so fast, but I was not given an option online to tip. Hopefully, you have some cash.

The papusas are out of this world! I only wished they hadn't been delivered stacked on top of each other. It was a mushy, hot mess of heaven!

Chicken quesadillas and chicken tacos were good. But, don't be like me and wolf down the first taco before you realize the slaw was in a baggie on the side. Steak tacos were 'write home to momma' good, chicken tacos were legit, but dry without the slaw. The crunchy banana chips in the slaw were interesting and something I really appreciated.

I want to eat here every day 😋“

“Seriously exceptional Taco Bell location. I order here a lot. They are so friendly, the environment is always clean, the food is always hot, my order is always right. Picking up online orders in the drive-thru at this location is also very easy. And it doesn't matter if it's breakfast, midday, super late, the staff is always sweet, they're always doing their best, quality is always on point. I never have to ask for napkins or anything that should be included for what I ordered. Y'all do such a great job. Thank you for being there (especially when it's late, in a semi food-desert, and hot, affordable food is needed). Don't work too hard!“
