Came here for lunch and had a great experience. The restaurant is beautiful with a nice atmosphere and was busy the whole time we were there. The staff were attentive despite how busy it was. The food was delicious — the beef in my dish was especially tender and perfectly cooked. A great spot to visit with family or a group of friends.

First time at uncle julios and it was a wonderful experience the atmosphere mimicked that of a South American home with warm lighting and bricked structure, it was well spaced out per table and service was amazing. I had the tomattio enchiladas and they were fresh and delicious i also had a strawberry basil lemonade that was well flavored but also not overly sweet. Would highly recommend.

Overall - good service and food.
2 suggestions for management -
(a) reduce the amount of tortilla chips placed on the table as most tables around us did not finish the giant bowl of chips - replenish if needed to prevent unnecessary food waste.
(b) clean the air vents please, the dust bunnies were ready to jump down to the tables.
