It was a snowy day and the restaurant wasn't crowded for lunch, but the food was great. The bread was fresh and delicious. The homemade minestrone was light and fragrant. The shrimp were excellent. It was my girlfriend's birthday, and our waiter, on his own initiative, brought a delicious dessert with a message in chocolate. We will come back in any case.

The only issue was with the water refills; while our bar drinks and sodas were promptly replenished, we had to wait a while for our water to be filled.

It took a long time for our drinks to arrive for our table of six adults and one child. When the server finally brought the drinks, he simply walked away without checking if we were ready to order. He returned five minutes later to take our order, but after the food was served, he didn’t come back to see if everything was alright. He only checked on us once to see if we needed tortillas, and after that, he vanished. We had to flag him down for refills and additional tortillas. Moreover, another server accidentally spilled water all over the floor and our table, but there was no apology until much later when someone else had cleaned it up. All in all, the service was very disappointing.

It was hard to have a conversation with the person sitting across from me without raising our voices.

It wasn't particularly noteworthy.

Always love this place. This time I had their Tex-Mex Combo dinner. I have to say that Uncle Julio's has the BEST salsa this side of the Mississippi River! read more Always love this place.

I had a couple $5 Sangria Margaritas during Happy Hour while snacking on chips and salsa, which were quite good. For my meal I had two Chicken Enchiladas with beans, rice, and a side ofGuac. Hot, fresh, and delicious, and the beans taste of smoked paprika. I also brought some powdered garlic and cayenne whichadded another layer. Docked a star for the chicken and beans being a tad salty. All in all, I enjoyed my evening here.

Our waiter did amazing he was just overwhelmed dealing with the entire patio byhimself.

The labor shortage definitely shows, with tables not clean and set after customers left, and a bit slow for a Saturday night. We ordered Honey Habanero Shrimp appetizer, Chickenand Steak Fajitas, and Steak Bowls. Everything was delicious, and our waitress was very nice, prompt and too busy cleaningtables. We still had an enjoyable evening and a wonderful first time.
