Such a nice atmosphere food was good and the dessert was awesome!!! I liked the tortilla machine making fresh tortillas. The waiter was nice he could have checked on the table more often but overall I’ll be coming back. Only negative is the valet parking we literally parked our own car in the lot 20ft from the restaurant and were charged $12 to park.

Augustin is the best!! I came in for a quick bite during happy hour – I only had a little bit of time and he was super attentive and went out of his way to get everything bagged up for me. The hosts were friendly too and accommodating as I came alone and asked to sit outside. The deals for happy hour are great, $5 for a frozen Swirl which is my favorite!! First time at this location and I’ll definitely be back for Augustin!! <3

I waited about 40 minutes to get my order taken for food. I got my drinks ordered 10 minutes after I sat. They haven’t apologized for having us wait for this long. I understand this place gets busy, but it never notified us of anything. I would appreciate it if I cared for. However, I noticed a server, Lorenzo, was very kind enough to ensure my table was satisfied. I saw he was always helping around by cleaning the empty tables and checking up on customers. His customer service is a 10/10.

Visited Uncle Julio’s with minimal expectations, overall was content with the experience. With your traditional “Tex-Mex” menu, the Chicken Fajitas are well seasoned and juicy ! Their Margaritas are salty & sweet, but not overwhelming. Surprisingly, their chips & salsa are great ! During a Friday lunch dine-in, the staff was nice and attentive. Atmosphere was enjoyable as well, with top 10 Reggaeton Music playing in the background. You’d expect some Mexican Music ? Also just to note, if you get fajitas they come with flour tortillas. If would be great if they offer the option to choose from Flour & Corn.

We had the table side Guacamole (customized Guac) special in which they will make the Guacamole in front of you. It was the best Guacamole for me. The service was very nice. Our waiters was all nice and attentive. They make their own tacos. They have a taco machine and you will be able to see how they make. It was sp entertaining to watch them make food.

Walked in, waited to be seated, and observed Mexican authenticity. I had the Carne asada well done, steak was tender, not chewy, and presention was eye-catching. My wife had the chicken breast tender, not dry. My daughter had the kid meal beef taco. All in all, we had a pleasant time there.

We love this place, but tonight we had our 1st off meal. I got the Jalisco fajitas. It’s $31.00 plus meal. The veggies were all onions. Maybe 2 slivers of red peppers. The salsa tonight was so hot I couldn’t enjoy it. I asked for a new one just in case I got the spicy one but no way too spicy. My husband got a chicken quesadilla. He liked it a lot. Just one thing they put red cabbage on the plate. It looked very nice but it bled out on the quesadilla so the bottom was all red and cabbage tasting. Our waitress was wonderful very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back. We still left full, just not as good as it has been.

Dined here for a birthday celebration recently. It’s overpriced, mediocre Mexican food. If you’re like me and live in an authentic Hispanic neighborhood, i.e. Pilsen, Hermosa, etc, you will find that there are plenty of great, authentically Mexican restaurant for better prices. The atmosphere is nice, this location stays crowded and the swirl drink my friend enjoys is a keeper. Not a bad place, just not my choice for Mexican fare.
