First time here while walking around Icon Park. Although the service was slow, the experience and food were excellent. We sat outside. The queso was amazing with fresh chips and I loved the crispy pulled chicken tacos!! We also had the enchiladas. 1 cheese and onion and 1 ground beef. The sauce has minced beef in it. Never had anything like that before but I really liked it. The food really hit the spot for cheesy saucy mexican.

The service was great. Drinks were fresh and cold! We got the taco bar and it was more than enough for 4 people served on a really cool turn table with all the toppings. Our server brought us both corn and their homemade flour tortillas. Everything was delicious!

This establishment is a great place to dine. It is well-suited for date nights or large groups and is also kid-friendly. The food was delicious. I ordered the chicken and steak fajita, and the steak was remarkably tender , making it the best fajita I have had to date. All the ingredients tasted fresh. Additionally, its location is ideal for taking a stroll around the area and exploring the surrounding vendors and stores. Prices are average ranging from 15 to 45 dollars a person.

What a wonderful dinner with amazing service! Elizabeth ( Lizz ) was such a great server, it’s been awhile since we have had service like that. The taco bar was delicious, so much food for such a great price. Highly recommend visiting for a meal and ask for Lizz!

I had an incredible dining experience here and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing server, Gaby. From the moment we were seated, she was friendly, attentive, and made us feel completely welcome. She knew the menu inside and out, offered great recommendations (the nacho things were to die for ) and checked in often without ever being intrusive. Our drinks were never empty! Service like this is rare—genuine, thoughtful, and professional. Gaby truly elevated our night out, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Made a reservation but showed up on taco Tuesday and we had the place to ourselves mostly! Love the taco tuesday spinning tray ! and omg that chocolate pinata was the bomb! JEFF our waiter was AMAZING. Great experience. AND have helped us out with garbage bags to make makeshift ponchos since it was pouring when we left.

We were so happy to have the chance to visit Uncle Julio’s in Orlando! first steak fajitas are an absolute favorite—perfectly seasoned, sizzling hot, and packed with flavor. Not to mention the chocolate pinata dessert, which was such a fun and delicious experience! The service was excellent, and the atmosphere made our visit even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!
