We went to Uncle Julio’s for dinner while in town. The food was great with a fun atmosphere, but the people were the best part of the experience. The server was super friendly and attentive, and we had two managers and another server stop by to check to see how we were enjoying our experience. They asked about food allergies up front while taking our order which I really appreciated and they were happy to accommodate special requests and substitutions. The food was delicious and the margaritas were top notch! If I were to come back to Orlando, I would definitely plan to eat here again.

Took my wife and two young girls here for Cinco De Mayo. We really enjoyed it. My wife and I shared the jilasco fajitas and my daughter got kids meals which were surprisingly big. I have to say the star of the show was the dessert. We got the chocolate piñata and it did not disappoint. The house made whip cream is outstanding and the churros to go with it were my favorite.
Overall a very nice place and the staff were very patient and helpful with my kids.

Where do I begin. We had a reservation. Came on time, but still waited one hour for food. Food arrived cold, and the waiter forgot half of my husband's order, which left the food even more cold, waiting for him to get the remainder he forgot and tried to put it on us. Once the food arrived, it did not look good. I am not sure how they got 4 stars at all. Taco shells were extremely hard. They claimed they were busy, but we could look around and see that they were not. Lots of movement from staff, but nothing was happening. They kept giving up chips to fill up on for the wait, but that got old very quick. If you are ready to eat right away, this is not the place. Even after seated, you will still wait 1 hr minimum. The manager gave us the food free,but I wasn't planning to pay for cold food anyway soooo....yeah. overall, there are many other restaurants in the area. I'd stay clear of this one if you can't help it. They ruined my husband birthday.

Hands down best fajita spot in the country. We always have a great experience and tasty food. We ordered the chicken fajitas for 2 and couldn't have been happier. They way they cook the chicken is insane maybe it's marinade not sure but I usually prefer their chicken to their steak it's that good. The home made tortillas melt in your mouth. The service was also phenomenal!

If you're in Orlando for a quick weekend trip and looking for lunch or dinner I recommend checking out Uncle Julio's at least once. The complimentary chips and salsa are some of the best and my favorite. The service is spot on, the available of seating is really nice too - big restaurant both indoors and outdoor seating. I went during the week and it was low volume of people inside the restaurant which made it even more relaxing. I can definitely see this spot being packed on weekends and possibly nights. If you're not coming for food, I'd recommend this spot to try out some of the refreshing cocktails they offer. Nice spot next to icon park with plenty of parking around the surrounding area available.
