I ordered the shrimp tacos. They took about 10 minutes. They were delicious. Unfortunately not as flavorful and spicy as my first visit. But I love that the ingredients always taste fresh. It comes with fresh limes and two sauces. -Customer Service was good. -This is a food truck outside of a gas station, so parking is very limited. I was able to find street parking. -There a few tables outdoors to dine at. -Prices are great! $14 for three tacos. I'm excited to return and try their churros. I hope you enjoy!

Stopped in for an early dinner at Uncle Julio's, conveniently located on the upper level of The…read moreMall in Columbia, where parking is plentiful and free. The space is expansive, with a variety of seating options that can accommodate everything from casual meetups to larger groups. The décor leans into dark wood tones accented by vibrant, colorful artwork, giving it a warm yet lively atmosphere. Service was a standout--our server was upbeat, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful when it came to navigating the menu. The kitchen emphasizes fresh ingredients, with house-made tortillas and many items prepared from scratch, which is always a plus. We started with their complimentary house-made tortilla chips and salsa, a solid way to kick things off while waiting for our entrées. Our table ordered a mix: taco salad, seasoned ground beef tacos (kept simple by request), Baja fish tacos, and chicken quesadillas. Portions were generous across the board, and everything arrived well-prepared and satisfying--definitely enough for leftovers. If you're in the mood for approachable, comfort-style Mexican fare, Uncle Julio's delivers a dependable and enjoyable dining experience.

The parking lot is small, and there's no sauce stand--which is probably my only downside. Because of the holiday, the wait was about 30 minutes for four tacos, which was a bit longer than I would've liked. That said, it was worth it. Taqueria Los Primos has always been my go-to spot and, up until now, the best tacos I've had in Maryland--but Los Perez takes the top spot for me. I was a little thrown off seeing the hot sauce come in a plastic packet, but it was actually super fire. I'd come back here all the time. This place could easily hold its own against some of the best Mexican spots in Los Angeles. Highly, highly recommend if you haven't been yet.

We did pickup from the restaurant, calling the order in ahead was straightforward, and it was ready within 15 minutes. The ambiance of the restaurant is very special, beautifully decorated, with plenty of seating. Would definitely go again!

I ordered a frozen margarita, unfortunately there was way too much sour mix for my tastes and I couldn't drink it. We ordered the chicken quesadilla, kids mozzarella sticks with fries, and carnitas tacos. The quesadilla was humongous with a generous helping of chicken. The mozzarella sticks and fries were perfectly crisp and tasty. The carnitas were soaked in a tomatillo sauce and were divine complimented by the fresh avocado. The tacos were served with refried beans and rice, not were underwhelming. The rice was dry and the beans were very under seasoned. The restaurant itself is very clean with plenty of seating. We came between the lunch and dinner rush so it wasn't very busy. Overall, I'd recommend Ernesto's.

I was able to easily order online before leaving a dental appointment, and by the time we arrived at their location, the wait was only a few minutes. They provide an electronic pager so you can wait comfortably in your car until your food is ready, which was especially appreciated with unmelted snow still on the ground. Although this is a food truck, they have their setup very well organized. The smells coming from the ordering window were absolutely mouthwatering. Chicken Tacos - Four freshly made tacos with your choice of meat (we chose shredded chicken), topped with onion, cilantro, radish, lime, and multiple sauces. My grandson dove into his meal so quickly -- after kindly sharing one taco with me -- that I forgot to grab a photo! Birria Pupusas - Three generously sized pupusas stuffed with beef birria, cheese, onion, and cilantro, served with cabbage on the side. We also ordered the Plátanos (fried plantains), served with a dollop of sour cream -- delicious. The portions were very filling; I have more than enough for another meal. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the prices were very reasonable. The best compliment I can give? My grandson has already requested that whenever I come to visit (which is pretty often -- I live just three miles away, LOL), we order takeout from here again. I think we've found a new regular spot -- one I only wish I had tried much sooner!
