    Food was good, customer service was excellent, restaurant atmosphere was ok. They have indoor and outdoor seating areas. They is plenty of parking in the shopping plaza. We ordered the Dueling Queso as a started, one of our favorites. I had their Garlic Lime Shrimp Bowl, it was so very well seasoned and they gave you a lot of food. My husband ordered a Burrito topped with Queso and he made it a meal which added Rice and beans to it. Everything was delicious. One thing I liked was that the sauce bar has lids for any sauce you might want to pack and bring home with your leftovers and it also has small paper bags for you to pack up your leftover chips. They also gave me a top that fit my bowl which made it easy to bring home without worrying about it spilling over in the car. I gave it a 4 because the bathrooms weren't as clean as they should have been and the indoor dining area felt and looked a bit dingy maybe it was due to the lighting and outdated.

    I'm satisfied with the cleanliness, atmosphere, and staff. There were a couple of hiccups (out of some chill is in the dispensers and the carefully prepared my meal... took a bit to go through.

    First time visit here! Very similar to Qdoba in the fact you walk in and order but you don't get to see you food made. I missed that part. The food was very good and seasoned for the most part but the steak seemed to be under seasoned. I wanted more flavor from the steak. Really loved the hot bar where you could pick your own sauce and level of spice. The yellow queso was good but tasted like that glass jar Tostitos cheese dip. The chips for the dip had an awesome seasoning!

    Tijuana Flats makes several of their menu items from scratch each day. The chips, salsa , tortillas, queso and guacamole are fresh prepared in house daily. The queso surprises me because it tastes exactly like the processed nacho cheese sold at stadiums and movie theaters everywhere. Their chicken is hormone free and they never use a microwave to cook or warm food. We ordered two beef tacos, chicken chimichanga and chips & queso . The chicken chimichanga was very good. The chicken taste fresh and was tender and juicy. Our beef tacos were seasoned nicely and the toppings were plentiful. The queso didn't taste like cheese.

    Earlier this week, I arrived about five minutes before closing to find the kitchen closed. A very apologetic manager explained that they had shut the grill about 15 minutes earlier. Without prompting and in an attempt to make up for inconveniencing me, he loaded me up with free iced tea, chips, queso, salsa and a gift card to give me additional incentive to give them another chance. Tonight, I made that return trip to enjoy Taco Tuesday (two big soft or hardshell tacos with chips and a medium drink for $5.99). My companion had a steak quesadilla and a Coke. The place was a major, but both meals were delivered to our table promptly and both were delicious. Finally, while not as spicy as I would prefer, the fresh guacamole is housemade on the premises!

    What's with the New policy where you cannot order anything by phone. What if you're driving? I was trying to order something while I was driving and now they said corporate change the rules and you can't order by phone. Really stupid policy Normally I love their food but this makes it very difficult for me to order and pick it up on my way home from work for my family.

    While a good restaurant for a burrito and a bit of hot sauce, do not expect much more. I do like that I found a hot sauce with Carolina reaper in it, but I was left overall unimpressed. A similar restaurant in winter garden has a lot more choices in hot sauces, a larger outdoor area and even has tequila. My blackened chicken burrito for about 9 bucks was mostly flour tortilla and I ate about half without really any meat. To make matters worse, the rice was hard enough in spots to make me think I had chipped my tooth. The sauce is flavorful and the counter staff is nice, but anyone who came out of the back didn't even look me in the eye. Maybe I caught on a bad night as everyone seems to be going downtown tonight.

    Laughable pieces of fish in one of my fish tacos. 1" piece, along with s pinkie sized piece.

The tacos had the perfect crunch and were generously stuffed, which I really appreciated. For appetizers, I got the guacamole with extra serrano peppers. If you like spice I definitely recommend asking for the extra serranos because it really hits the spot. I also tried the Boom Boom sauce, and it's easy to see why it's so popular -- super flavorful with a nice kick. The chips and salsa along with the creamy jalapeño sauce were a great way to start the meal too. The chips had a great crunch, fresh and not greasy at all!!! Shoutout to our waitress Alejandra -- she was incredibly sweet, patient, and made the whole experience even better. Overall, great food, great service, and colorful environment.

The cheese relleno was delicious! Nice crispy coating with plenty of cheese filling in the pepper. Enchilada was also good, but needed some additional sauce as the chicken was a bit dry. Casual ambiance on the patio, which was dog friendly, exactly what we were looking for. The only thing holding my rating back was the service unfortunately. We had to ask several times for water refills, additional sauces, and napkins before they were brought. Overall the food was great, but the service could be improved. Would like to try again sometime soon.

The pros are the sauces. Chips come with a creamy tomatillo sauce that is amazing. Honestly, this sauce is the reason I know this restaurant. There is also a salsa with the right amount of kick to it. Even the creamy green chili sauce was a hit. The sauces are what makes it for me here. But there are cons. The menu is very limited both in options and in proteins. Most items come either chicken or ground beef. That's Taco Bell options! The menu is simply a two sided laminated sheet. The chicken enchilada I had was made good by the sauce. The chicken was bland. The rellano I had seemed over cooked and lacking in cheese. Again, I was scraping sauce to add to the rellano. Honestly, I would recommend for sitting at the bar and eating chips and dips and drinking margaritas more so than for a great Mexican meal.

The restaurant itself is very nice inside clean, well designed, and has a welcoming atmosphere. There's also a parking garage nearby, which makes it convenient. When we arrived, it wasn't too busy, and it took our server about 4 minutes to greet us. Once she did, she was incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially since I have a shellfish allergy. That definitely stood out and made me feel comfortable dining there. They start you off with complimentary chips and dips, which were amazing and a great way to kick off the meal. For my main, I ordered the chipotle queso enchiladas along with the Perfect Paloma. The drink lived up to its name it was refreshing, flavorful, and honestly one of the highlights of the meal. We also tried the supreme nachos, which were good overall, but the beans were a bit overpowering compared to the other toppings. As the restaurant started to get busier, things did slow down a bit, and the food took longer than expected because they were backed up. That said, our server continued to check in on us and kept a great attitude the entire time. When the enchiladas finally came out, they did not disappoint. The chipotle queso enchiladas were absolutely delicious full of flavor and definitely something I'd order again. The only downside was the rice, which was a little hard and not as enjoyable as the rest of the plate. Overall, Uncle Julio's offers a great dining experience with excellent service, a clean environment, and some really standout menu items. A few small issues with timing and sides, but nothing that ruined the experience. Rating: 4/5

We went in during Happy Hour expecting to sip a drink while we waited for food. Despite advertising Half Off Cocktails, when the server finally arrived we were informed that it only applied to about six margaritas on their menu, not 'cocktails' as advertised. We didn't complain to the server, as we assumed it wasn't his policy. Disappointing and misleading. We did end up ordering a variety of margaritas, which were disappointing to our crew for various reasons. Mine was acceptable but not exciting, though. I got the swirl with sangria. We checked in online and got the free 'guac'. I wish I'd snapped a photo, as it arrived without an attempt at presentation, just two scoops of mushed avocado on a plate. It needed more seasoning, which was unfortunate because there was no salt at our high top table. Nachos were decent, but soggy. I asked for extra jalapenos, which I did receive and they gave my plate more flavor. Service was fine. I felt bad that our server was both tending bar and taking orders as happy hour seemed to be a busier time for him. Overall, my experience was ho hum but my table partners were disappointed in the food, drinks, and experience. Hopefully yours is better than ours!

Honestly, hands down the worst attempt at Mexican food I've ever had. This place honestly is a disgrace to Mexican food. The salsa was pathetic, no flavor and tasted like plain tomatoes. The second "salsa" we were told is a house favorite. It was literally a cold tomatillo ranch, gross. I got 2 ground beef enchiladas with Tex mex and a chili relleno. The enchiladas were not good but were also not the worst thing ever. The chili relleno however, tasted like a frozen pack of TGI Fridays mozzarella sticks from the store. No joke, you could taste the freezer burn on them. The beans were watery and had no flavor. The rice, you could easily tell has been sitting in a fridge at least over night. It was dry, hard, and also had no flavor. It amazes me these restaurant owners want to have a successful business, but insist on cutting corners and not making fresh food. Your food sucks and I won't be back. I wouldn't even let my dogs eat this food. Harsh huh? Simple solution, make your own food. If you want a successful restaurant, make your own tortillas, cook your own beef, make your sauce fresh everyday, shred fresh cheese, STOP CUTTING CORNERS. Any person with a good palette can clearly tell everything has either been sitting in a freezer or a fridge over night. The ambiance is also quirky and I'm not sure what themes they're going with. Woods, bricks, dogs on the wall, 90's color schemes, it's just not it. It takes me 5 minutes to make great food at home, I'll never understand why restaurants can't do the same. This is the type of place you see on a Gordon Ramsay show that he tries to save. My taste buds will never forgive me for eating here, don't make the same mistake.
