Ordered takeout for 6 people. No plastic ware, tip was included in check even though it was takeout, and portion size is small for the price. Who is that too even going to??? There was no waiter. read more

The food was Okae. The waiter seemed to be a little rude! I hate going into restaurants and feeling like I'm being judged because I'm a young black women and then having to endure terrible customer service read more

First time in Wisconsin. Came here for a work dinner and it was fantastic! I'm from Southern California so I love Mexican food but don't normally find it east of Texas. Uncle Julio's was great, flavorful the chips and salsa was delicious and the serving size was generous. Not to mention the wonderful service and the beautiful restaurant. When I'm back in the area I will definitely be making this a stop! read more

Ordered through DoorDash; food was delicious, well-packed, and tasty! Their ground beef goes above most places because you can see the veggies cooked with it. Queso and chips were great, with fresh (not pickled) jalapeño. Will order again read more

Worst experience ever! The staff is rude! The food portions are so small for the price. The food had no taste! I ate maybe 4 bites and the rest I told them to throw away! A whole bowl of rice! The best part was the chips and salsa. I should have just stuck with that. I can go on and on ! The experience was simply unpleasant ! Never again! read more

Dining out during the pandemic is a little bit strange, but Uncle Julio's tries to make the experience an enjoyable one. Checking in for our reservation was a little odd. The two hostesses at the door seemed to not have a clue what to do. Our friends were already seated at the table, yet the four hostesses inside (why are there so many?) handed me a stack of menus (curious) and took me to an empty table in the porch area. I said, my friends are already here, checked in and seated. There was a lot of calling around on their communication system. I eventually just walked around on my own (with my huge stack of menus) to find my friends. Really strange the plethora of hostesses were so clueless. Anyway, once I sat down, the service was great! It was my first time at UC's and I found the food to be delicious! The chips are thin, warm and well salted. Yum. We ordered guacamole that was insanely good. I had a taste for a spicy margarita, so the waiter recommended the El Jefe. Yow. This one packed a spicy punch! And it comes in a large martini shaker with two servings. Be prepared for how spicy this is with the black pepper on the glass. I would probably get the regular margarita that my husband had--so good. It was cute with the little lime rind floater on the top! For dinner, I had the steak and chicken fajitas--really good. Hubs had the steak fajitas, also good. My friend had the chicken fajitas--her fave and her husband had the carne asada. We loved our food! We were hoping to have the Chocolate Pinata for dessert to celebrate our friend's birthday, but they aren't serving it during the pandemic. Boo! The waiter said it's to "limit people sharing food", yet they serve a gigantic bowl of chips and guacamole, both which are meant to be shared... So we bounced and went to Jake's for dessert and cocktails. Anyway, I like Uncle Julio's and I'll definitely return! read more

Packed every time we go. A bit pricey for what you get. SALMON ON THE MENU!!!! Perfection. Instead of waiting forever for a table...eat in or at the bar. The food is great. read more

Meh. The service was great. The food was overpriced and dry. I got the 2 chicken enchilada plate. The plate was mostly rice and the 2 tiny enchiladas were dry and so was the chicken that was in them. Skip the $7 scoop of guacamole! Probably won't return. I have had better Mexican food. read more

Food was very bland. Chicken taco had plenty of Chicken but no flavor. quesadilla was the same. Plenty of food but no flavor. staff was friendly and attentive. read more

Not impressed at all. Worst Taco Salad I have ever had. Service was not good. Would never recommend this restaurant and will never return. Waukesha has so many local Mexican restaurants that are so much better read more

I have never had such a top down terrible experience like this at a restaurant in my life! The server (Will) was terrible and made excuse after excuse as to why we did not get our drink. He blamed the bar for everything. 1 person at our table of 7 did not ever get their frozen margarita. I had to go to the bar myself and there their "frozen" drink sat totally thawed out. I asked the bartender if that was the drink our person was missing and she said yes. I asked her to remake it and I would take it to him. The bartender Ellen was awesome and helped me out and also gave me another drink our server failed to bring. I asked the server to bring us another drink which was in a can and he spilled it all over 2 other people in the party as he poured it tableside. He made excuse after excuse. The fact is he was totally inexperienced and should have owned it. 3 out of 7 people ordered fajitas and none of them were brought out with the sour cream, lettuce, cheese, and other fixings usually accompanied with these items. We were given less than what was expected when we ordered our food. We asked to speak to a manager. The manager was great! Her name was Yvette. She was very nice and I made it very clear during our conversation that I understood it was not her fault but we needed to have a conversation so they knew where they were falling short. Yvette said to all of us they would take care of the bill. This was a company outing and was going to be expensed and that we were not worried about paying the bill it was only a matter of quality service we were worried about. This is a favorite among many who visit this area since we have a direct bill with a local hotel. She assured us she would take care of the bill and even offered us to he $40 desert that we declined. All 7 of us got up and left assuming the bill was taken care of because that is the message we were given. Within 20 minutes Susan called me. She told me that we had walked out on the bill and she was calling me to ask why. I explained to her the situation and that we were told it was being taken care of for us. Susan said "she did not say that" and I felt like I was as being accused of walking out on a bill. Multiple times she said I was not told that exactly what the other person (Yvette) told me that out bill was being taken care of. This is clearly a Susan problem. She doesn't have a handle on the business and makes it a customer problem instead of her problem. Blame is pointed at everyone else and not her own. She said Yvette had a "language barrier problem" and that was what happened. I think that is very offensive consider Yvette was very understanding and was able to speak very clear of what happened. Susan is the problem at restaurant 39! Yvette was amazing and Ellen was amazing! Will was terrible but I blame that on management and lack of development and leadership. What it comes down to is Susan. She told me I was never told something I was very clearly told and 7 people can back me on that fact! We are on a business outing. None of us are close enough to just walk out on a bill as a team without clear defined direction that the bill was being taken care of. I will never be back and I will also spread the word that this place is toxic with customers and how they treat them. The company I am with had at least 100 employees in the area with at least 1000 visiting annually. I will always deliver the message that I have been treated with the complete disrespect and it is not an establishment worth our business. It should be pointed out I offered to pay the bill in full with an 18% tip for the server multiple times and instead of it being accepted I was told I was wrong and a liar multiple times. read more

Just bad from start to finish! Arrived about 9:15, they close at 10:00pm and we sat at the table for 15 minutes before I finally asked one of the people bussing tables if we could get help. The server who had previously been chatting in a corner with a group of other staffers came to the table and asked "what can I get for you", no hello, no can I get you water, no do you want appetizers l, none of the formalities. I then rolled my eyes and sighed and asked for water to start. I've visit uncle Julio's often in chicago and if they do anything, you're greeted at your table with water and a basket of warm chips. When we finally received a basket of chips they were cold and greasy/wet. The salsa was running/watery and flat. We were tempted to leave but it was late and we were Starving so we decided to play nicely because we expected things to get better once our food arrived. We should have left, the food was crappy, no flavor, no salt, over cooked chicken and the Chile con queso tasted like melted old velvetta. Worst visit Ever!! I will never go back to that Uncle Julio's even if it's the last restaurant open in the World. I'd rather starve or suck air. $60 worth of cold, tasteless food. read more

I've eaten here plenty of times now and the food is excellent and the wait staff was extremely friendly. I've shown this restaurant to tons of friends and clients and every time this place had hit spot on. People complain about prices here but you pay for what you get and with everything out of a scratch kitchen you are going to pay a little more but the quality will blow you away. We've sat at the bar top and the margs are golden. Made fresh to order every time. No complaints here read more

I love the margaritas! We've eaten here countless times. We love it. We usually get the skirt steak fajitas for two, it's plenty of food. They make the tortillas on site and depending on where you're seated you can watch them be made. My favorite margarita is the Tres Amigos, it has three tequilas in it. The chips and salsa are good. For dessert you can get a chocolate piñata. They give you a little wooden club you use to crack it open. There's fruit & churros, chocolate etc. it's so good. They take reservations which I like. No complaints. read more

Last night me and my husband were able to finally go on a date night, which we haven't been able to do in almost a year. Our waitress was very impersonal and didn't even say her name. I got severely ill to the point of almost passing out and severe stomach cramps and almost had to call 911. None of the staff checked on me but instead kept circling our table hoping we would leave. My husband has serious diarrhea as well. Overall such a bad experience. read more

Uncle Julio's Brookfield - Mexican Near Me - Brookfield, Wisconsin

Really bad service. Walked in from front desk no hello goodbye just stared at us. Greasy food is all about 30% overpriced. Ground beef looked like a low grade 50/50 fat vs meat. We didn't all have silverware and food drop off person just said ok I'll tell your server. She didn't. don't see this place staying in business too long unless Brookfield likes nacho cheese sauce and shit service. read more

The atmosphere and service were fantastic. The food was terrible. I rarely dine at chain restaurants because of the subpar food quality, but gave this spot a try with my mother one night.-- once again proven correct that stand-alone spots serve far better quality food than chains. Spend your money elsewhere and support something local..you won't regret it... read more

I would leave zero stars if it would let me. Went for dinner on Saturday night and it was a complete waste of money. Tortilla chips came to our table all wet as they were soaked in grease. Queso dip was bland and chunky. Silverware was dirty. My margarita had huge pieces of pulp and seeds floating in it which made it very unpleasant to drink. Glasses were sticky. Food comes out so fast that there is no way it is actually cooked to order. Our queso and guacamole came out before the drinks. The dinner came to our table literally three minutes after we ordered it. Fajitas served with all onions and on a cold sizzle plate. Enchiladas were total slop. Cheese enchilada flattened to all hell and hard. Rice was burnt. Place is way overpriced for the precooked low quality food they present. With tip we spent $140 on this! Absolute waste :( read more

Definitely not a good night for this place which was unfortunate because we were there for a birthday. Was looking forward to doing the chocolate piñata, they have a big poster of it at the entrance. Apparently they were out of all their desserts except mini churros which no one wanted. Got steak and chicken fajitas, there was almost no peppers and all onions. The mexican rice was dry and seemed hard, possibly undercooked or old. Partner got a fajita bowl that was mostly rice. The food was very overpriced for it being not great. Only thing I thought was really good was the margarita. Would rather go to one of the mexican restaurants in Waukesha for better food and prices. read more

Went in to pick up a to go order no one even said can I help you the guy behind the bar with a bread says in a not so nice voice what the name of the order I'm like wow really that how you treat people order food out. This makes me not want to dine in as a customer. read more

Uncle Julio's is a place with a great atmosphere with a new spin on your Mom's Mexican recipes. The drinks are vibrant and refreshing. I will definitely be coming back here with more family and friends. read more

Uncle Julio's Brookfield - Tortilla Chips and roasted pepper salsa - Mexican Near Me - Brookfield, Wisconsin

We made a reservation for 12 people to celebrate a birthday last night. We arrived 10 minutes early and were told we would be called when our table was ready. We went to the bar. The female bartender completely ignored us for 10 minutes. We finally were able to get her to acknowledge us, she told us she had many orders and would get to us when she could. 15 minutes later this rude woman, with no urgency in taking orders, finally took our drink order. Our party lined half of the bar. We asked for chips, never were offered, and she brought one bowl. When we asked for more she acted like it was such an imposition and took 5 minutes to bring the additional bowls. At 8:20 for a 7:30 reservation and we still are not seated. Hostess says she does not think it will be anytime soon. She was able to find a table by a booth to split our group. Our server, Allison, was the only bright light. She found us another table so we could all sit together. I told Allison we needed a piñata for the birthday girl. When we finished our meal I was informed the birthday girl would not get her piñata because they ran out. The birthday girl's celebration was a bust. Will never do a celebration here ever again. Also will never dine here again. read more

Very disappointing! The atmosphere is very nice and service was ok but the food was nasty. The food is super expensive for what it is. I honestly felt like I got taken advantage of. read more

I have no idea what all the negative reviews are whining about. The service was great from the time we entered until we left. The food came out hot and was very, very good and clearly fresh. The complainers are soft--sad! read more

Service was good and the restaurant was comfortable. I ordered a beef taco salad. The beef tasted like day old hamburger - dry and flavorless. I would have sent it back but the meat was on the bottom and I was too far into the meal to return it. For the price it should have been more carefully prepared. read more

Loud, crowded, very expensive, slow service with very good food. Granted, we stopped during the first month of it opening, but I did expect better. It's a place we will only go back to if someone we are with wants to go. read more

Waaaay to expensive for what you get. Go to another local Mexican restaurant for better food and way better prices.

We had a great time during our visit a few weeks ago. Our server was fantastic and attentive to our needs. But the food just wasn't great. The assortment on the menus is not great, they don't have burritos or even the basic gringo go to of a chimmichanga. I tried the Juanita plater to try a few menus items hoping to narrow it down for our next visit, but to be honest, everything tasted like it was seasoned with the same packet of chipotle seasoning. This place claims to be "from scratch" which I could believe. But do not confuse from scratch with authentic. Ground beef taco was the best item between our two meals. read more

We went for dinner and got table side guacamole and steak and chicken fajitas for two. The food was good but pricey. Fajitas for two only came with 3 tortillas and there wasn't enough chips for the guacamole. Our server was terrible! After our food was served he never came back to check on us so we had to eat the rest of our fajitas without a shell. I also dropped my fork on the floor, but since we never saw our server, I had to take a setting from an empty table. We were also never asked if we wanted more drinks. We did like that you pay on an iPad right at your table so your credit card never leaves your sight. Our server, however, never brought us our receipt. read more

The service was great and the julio margarita was great. Chips and salsa were really good too. The food was horrible. Got chili con queso and it was so small for 8 bucks. Also got steak fajitas and they were pretty meh. Beans and rice were cold and not good either. This place is on par with Chilis but triple the price. read more

I see a lot of people say this place is over priced, but you are paying for awesome food and the ambiance. If you are cheap, go to a garbage place like casa tequila. Go enjoy garbage taco tuesdays somewhere else with their stale shells and bland meat. read more

The food is not that good, and extremely over priced. I don't mind dropping good money on great food, but this stuff was borderland garbage. Folks, if you are reading this, you can honestly go anywhere else for Mexican food and be happier. Yes, even Taco Bell. I would be shocked if this location is still open a year from now. read more

Went there for our 1st time. 3:00 on a Wednesday. Waitress brought us menus, entrees between high teens to $35.00 .I thought WOW is this place expensive. I looked at their website AFTER we left so show my friend the prices. She brought us the Dinner Menu not the lunch menu,I guess by looking online it seemed there are 2 different menus. Well won't go back, it was good but won't go back. read more

Love this place. It is more expensive because it's made from scratch. Love the Chicken tortilla soup; easily the best around. Also, the more expensive shrimp dishes (not shrimp fajitas) use large shrimp, which you don't really see too often around here. My wife hates little shrimp, so these spicy shrimp dishes are great. Flautas are solid as well. read more

Was very dissapointed with food today. Previously was there and the food was very good. Wondering if there is a drop off due to staffing issues related to Covid problems.I would look to other Mexican restaurants in the future...For a relatively expensive restaurant, the food should be excellent This was not the case. read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat when I am in Milwaukee! It reminds me of a place in Austin, Texas called Papacito's! It brought back many happy memories for me of a time long ago! The El Hefe margarita is delicious! The beef fajitas are perfectly flavored! They are a little pricey, I think it is worth the extra money. You get good forr, drinks and service! I am looking forward to making more memories in this restaurant! read more

This was an ok place. Not awesome, just ok. I was disappointed that it cost so much. 2 people for dinner and spent almost $100. We only had tacos and enchiladas. We did not order drinks. We did have guac and desserts. The fresh tableside guac was much more expensive. The cheese sauce said it was "fresh" but it tasted and looked like cheese whiz. It has a nice atmosphere. The waiter was good. I just felt that much money should have said WOW, and I did not not get that wow factor. I really wanted to like this place. read more

The reason why I gave this a 3 is because this is not a Mexican restaurant. It's more Tex mex which I'm not a fan of. Their salsa is fresh but way too smokey tasting and dark. The chips are amazing however the salsa is too Smokey and it more brown and isn't appealing to me personally. Overall nice atmosphere and perfect for more of the Tex mex flair read more

The first time we came here I was pretending to be healthy and got the salmon. It was good- I don't ever eat salmon so really don't have anything to compare it to. The second time here, and holy cow. Disregard any and all bad reviews that include fajitas-the reviews are BS. The carnitas fajitas were to die for-fall apart meat, and seasoned perfectly. Chicken fajitas also amazing. I know you're thinking "it's fajitas, how different/good can they really be?".. go try these and you'll know what I mean. I've never had a fajita that even comes close to these. Also! We had Brenda as our server; She was kind, attentive and was the one that recommended the fajitas!! It's so hard to go out to eat these days and find great service... Brenda was a pleasant surprise. Thanks for the great service, Brenda! Keep up the great work. read more

If you're looking for good Mexican food or even good Tex-Mex, this is not the place where you want to go. This is a chain restaurant and it is truly a train chain restaurant. $12 for two tacos that barely had any flavor and the were such small amounts meat and such in them that it was mostly tortilla. read more
