Uncle Julio's Durham

Many thanks for their fast service, great staff and delicious food! that was my first visit to an oncle julio and I can say that I am back. I ordered the salmon and it was perfectly cooked. it has paired nicely with the Mexican rice and pinto beans. reviewing this review has already thought about the planning of my next visit.

I expected a bland company experience in the mall, what I experienced instead was delicious margaritas and fantastic garnel fajitas with homemade tortillas that were soft, thick and tasty. they could have used more choice of hot sauce, but no place is perfect.

The food was decent, nothing spectacular. I had the carnitas tacos, they could use a little more flavor. I loved loved the table side guacamole it was delicious

I came here on a whim because I’d gone to Southpoint so many times and walked past without going in. When we entered, we had to wait 15 minutes before we were seated even though there were plenty of tables open. We had two servers, which was confusing, and even drinks took maybe 10 minutes to come out. We both ordered chicken fajitas, and it took over 50 minutes for the food to be ready. We didn’t get cutlery either until after our food was served. The food itself was fine; the rice, beans, and chicken were flavorful. The shrimp in bacon was really good, and I drizzled the sauce on my chicken to make it even better. But after waiting so long, we both agreed we probably will not put this restaurant in our regular rotation.

So I have really mixed feelings about this place. My wife and I have been wanting to try this place out. However I am not sure we will come back. The food was really good. However everything else made it horrible. We had reservations but had to wait 15 minutes. Then it took an hour to get our food!!! The server’s area was disgusting.
