Dinner for 4
Matt W.

Best Mexican joint in Naples by far....and a throw back to its roots on the N Side of Chicago!! Service (exceptional) thanks Brooke Chips and salsa (fantastic) never ending crisp/light chips and while I LOVE the salsa - the table loves the guac more Margs - delicious Steak & carnitas fajitas- so good and so much! I especially enjoyed the carnitas & the wonderful glaze. It's just as good the second day for lunch! Bar is large, fun and it's also easy to eat there - although we sat at a table. It's fabulous so make sure you give it a try!

Sangria swirl

Tried Uncle Julio's after being told by some coworkers how great the Tuesday specials were. The were not wrong! Tuesday is taco bar day, it comes with two servings of meat and all the topping to create you're perfect taco combo. We went out with our team at work so there were about 7 of us. Servings come as a set of two, which is $24 total for each set. We ordered 8 portions and had plenty of meat left over! They will bring you as many topping and tortillas as needed as well! They were. Bit busy and ran out of tortillas so we had to wait a little while fresh ones were made, but they were delious when they came out. The staff did do a great job of keeping up with all the requests we had for more toppings. If you time you visit right, Monday-Friday they have happy hour from 3-6pm. It worked out great for us since we were able to take advantage of both the happy hour specials and Tuesday taco bar. I recommend the sangria swirl! It's a nice night out as pair or as a group!

Chicken nachos

OK When they opened. I remember coming in the beginning and everything was so fresh. The chicken nachos were crispy, hot and delicious.. now you can barely cut it with a fork cold and scary to eat..... that's why the restaurant is empty almost all the time.

Uncle Julio's is in a standalone building outside the Coastland Mall. The interior is beautiful and very upscale, especially for a Mexican restaurant. We sat at a high top table in the bar area so we could take advantage of both the regular and the happy hour menu. We started with happy hour margaritas, which we ordered with no agave or sugar, as we prefer them tart. However the drinks were very sweet and when we asked the server, he said that the bartender added a different sweetener. Ahem... The happy hour guacamole was pretty good but had too many large chunks of raw onion for my liking. The food on the regular menu took a long time to come out and was just soso. The chicken in the dishes was cut in cubes rather than shredded, and was too dry and salty. The chocolate piñata dessert looked intriguing but was too large for our small group. Overall it was an average experience, with the ambiance being the high point.

Lunch menu

What a beautiful place with being treated with friendly staff. The manager was very helpful and even telling us of things to do while we were in Naples. The food was beautiful as well as delicious. Their salsas were fresh and tasty as well. We enjoyed our lunches they both were so flavorful. We ordered from their lunch menu and the meals were not skimpy at all. We will be back!

Quesa-Birria

I would recommend making a reservation or call ahead, even if you're on your way to snag a table without a really long wait. There's a bar with open seating to grab drinks. We were seated promptly. Similar to many restaurants during season, we waited a while for our server to take our order - so we had plenty of time to browse their menu and peek at our neighboring tables to see what they ordered to steer our decision. Drinks - I had the frozen margarita which tastes like dish soap which I'd steer clear away from. I'd stick with their premium margarita or premium cocktails. The chips are served hot with a smoky hot sauce (or salsa). We waited just under an hour for our food, and I lost self-control and probably consumed 2 basket of chips on my own. I had the Birra-quesadilla appetizer as my main course and it was just ok. A bit too salty and the broth didn't have much depth of flavor. My son loved their ground beef soft taco served with double rice - said it was the best he'd ever had. My daughter has the kids chicken fajitas which was like 1/2 chicken breast, double rice and tortillas. Not pictured is also the Tex max sample of two enchiladas (red sauce with beef and cheese and green hatch chilli sauce with chicken and a crispy beef taco. The beef/cheese enchilada was super delish - while the chicken enchilada was a bit dry. Def worth coming back to try their margarita of the month, fajitas and other specialties.

Great atmosphere. Love the salsa, chips, the food has been good. The prices are high but reasonable for this location right outside the Coastland mall. Free and plenty of parking for now. They continue to build other eateries next door. Join the club and get goodies. Sit inside or outside. Do not care for outside facing the mall parking lot. Good place for families. Guac at the table is amazing and the best I have ever had. Fresh, you decide the ingredients. Homemade everything, love the thinner chips too. Returning for sure.

the best salsa to go with chips
Barbara M.

Uncle Julio's was in Boca Raton Mizner Park but left and i miss it! When I saw the sign in Naples Florida that they were coming I was so happy and I finally made it there. The Swirl is a frozen fabulously refreshing sangria margarita . The salsa is the very best Iv ever Tasted. The menu is well priced and all of it was tempting . Uncle Julio's is a treat and miss it so much I might have to move to Naples!

Stake  Tex-Mex Combination Dinner

Great atmosphere, and good food. Unlimited chips and salsa. The food amount is not a lot especially for the side of the fajitas.

Made to Order Guacamole
Jim C.

Went to Uncle Julio's in Naples for Happy Hour on a Friday. Unfortunately, we were not impressed when we entered. Five individuals around the hostess desk, two of them looking at an ipad/computer. The other three just standing there. No one spoke to us for several long minutes.... 5 employees and no "hi", "welcome", "can we help you", "I'm sorry we are having computer issues", or anything. I got tired of standing there so I walked to the bar area and sat down at one of the booths. My wife continued to wait, was finally acknowledged and asked to sit in the bar area. They were NOT busy at this time, no one else was waiting and we were seen by the 3 individuals. Once seated, our waitress was wonderful! Night and day from those around the hostess stand. Very friendly and attentive. She offered good suggestions and kept our water glass full. They have free chips and salsa and she was very good at replenishing that as well (and no charge on refills!). The salsa has a bit of a kick but is very good. Happy Hour is Monday through Friday from 3-6. For $5 you can get a Margarita (frozen or on the rocks) or a margarita swirl (1/2 margarita and 1/2 sangria). I got a frozen margarita and my wife got a swirl. Both were good. Our server even made sure to stop by right before Happy Hour ended to see if we wanted another at the discounted price. As mentioned, completely different service from the hostess stand! We ordered the Made to Order Guacamole. It was made at our table and all ingredients were fresh. You can add tomatoes, onions, cilantro and jalapenos. They use both lemon/lime juice and avocado oil. It is expensive at $15 but it is a LOT of guacamole and it was delicious! We had leftovers to take home for the 2 of us. For dinner we split the Fajita Chicken Taco Plate for $18. You can order two for $15 or three, we opted for 3. They came in a flour tortilla with lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. They were good. The tortillas were a bit "doughy" or "floury" for my taste. But my wife loved them and said they were probably homemade rather than pre-packaged. She was right. After dinner I went to the rest room and passed an area where they were making the tortillas by hand. The different taste makes sense and is appreciated. The Tacos were served with a side of rice and beans. The rice was very good. The beans were good as well but not your traditional refried beans. More of what we used to call "campfire" beans. By the time we left, the restaurant was very crowded and there was a line waiting for tables at the door. The place is relatively new in Naples. We will return, despite issue at the front door.... which locks the rating at a 4 star.

My wife and I had been here before & it was wonderful so it pains me to write this review; friendly, cheerful waitress, great service & the food was delicious. Not so much this time. It was crowded but we got a table right away. It took about 15 minutes for our drink order to come out, but it was kinda busy. After about another half hour, one of our four meals came out; then it was crickets. Our waitress never came back to the table; no one else made eye contact with us. We saw at least a dozen meals delivered to tables after we got our one meal, but no other meals or contact with us. After 20 minutes of waiting for the other 3 meals we cut our losses and went to the counter and asked for the bill. A man (appeared to be the owner) brought the bill out & offered a half hearted apology but no offer to comp us for the drinks (it looks like they did not charge for the meal we got). I realize things happen, but had this man (manager?) just apologized for what happened & told us that we owed nothing I honestly would have been ok with it and not even taken the time to write this review. However that wasn't the case. Like I said, our previous experience was great, so here's my recommendation: If they are not busy I'd suppose you will have a great experience; if busy you might want to pass...

Taco Lindo - East Naples, Florida…read more Taco Lindo is a small Mexican restaurant tucked into a shopping center in East Naples, and it's absolutely worth finding. Don't let the modest exterior fool you -- the food is outstanding. I ordered the American tacos, and they were superb. Fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned meat, and great flavor in every bite. Everything tasted homemade and authentic, not rushed or overly commercial. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming -- exactly what you want from a neighborhood Mexican spot. If you're in East Naples and craving quality tacos, Taco Lindo delivers. I'll definitely be back.

We were served warm chips and flavorful salsa by our server, and the Mexican coke I got was a treat. The menu has a good selection of breakfast options, appetizers, Mexican tacos, Gordita's, quesadillas, burritos and other favorites. The chicken chimichanga I ordered was served with a tasty cheese sauce, a side of rice, beans and salad. The salad has a generous amount of guacamole, so if you like avocados, you'll be happy. Hubs got the chicken burritos and after trying a sample, I have to admit they're good, but different from burritos covered with red or green sauce. Portions are large, and I really like the hot sauce bar at the table, you have a choice of a lot of different flavors to make your meal more interesting. Prices are reasonable and the restaurant is clean with a pleasant atmosphere. An enjoyable place to have lunch.

My husband went to pick up our order to have the doors locked for a private party with a take out order sitting on the bar in plain view.He was totally ignored outside the door. I called to find out what was going on and was told there wasnt any pending orders, only a cancelled order. I called back after speaking with my husband again to say that there is clearly a take out order on the bar and was told again its a cancelled order. I stated im looking at my online order and it clearly at this address and my credit card was charged for my order. I was told that no, that was cancelled and their kitchen is closed anyway for the day. They said that the only thing they could do would be to fill the order tomorrow- which isnt really helpful at 830 tonight I asked to speak to a manager, and after a few minutes the same person returned to the phone. They suddenly were able to see my order - which was not cancelled on my end, but still stated that the kitchen was closed, and there was a private party so they unable to fill this order. I asked why were we able to order if they were closed- I was told that the system ordered it and charged my card, not them. They said all they could do was fill the order tomorrow or refund my money tomorrow. They also offered to pay me cash for my order tomorrow in the store instead of refunding my credit card When I said that is not acceptable they said they could call my order to a different restaurant and that we could go pick it up there. When questioned regarding the different name i was told its the same restaurant, same menu, different name. We decided after all to not bother with our order from here and went to a different restaurant all together as the whole thing left a bad taste in our mouth.. We will not be using this restaurant again even thought they are literally across the street from where we live as this just left me feeling uncomfortable-- and I still have to call my credit card to dispute the charges as the restaurant hasn`t done that
