Uncle Julio's Durham

I came here in a mood because I went so often to Southpoint and went by without going in. When we entered, we had to wait 15 minutes before we sat, although there were many tables open. We had two servers that were confusing, and even drinks might take 10 minutes to get out. We ordered both chicken fajitas, and it took 50 minutes to finish the meal. We were not bribed until after dinner. The food itself was good; the rice, the beans and the chicken were tasteful. The shrimp in bacon was really good, and I throttled the sauce on my chicken to make it even better. But after we waited so long, we both agreed that we will probably not bring this restaurant to our regular rotation.

So I have really mixed feelings about this place. My wife and I have been wanting to try this place out. However I am not sure we will come back. The food was really good. However everything else made it horrible. We had reservations but had to wait 15 minutes. Then it took an hour to get our food!!! The server?s area was disgusting.

I went in expecting a bland corporate experience at the mall, what I experienced instead was delicious margaritas and fantastic shrimp fajitas with in-house made tortillas that were soft, thick, and delicious. They could?ve used more variety of hot sauce but no place is perfect.

Thank you for your prompt service, great staff and delicious food! This was my first visit to an uncle Julio's and I can definitely say that I'll be back. I ordered the salmon and it was perfectly cooked. It paired nicely with the Mexican rice and pinto beans. Typing up this review already has me thinking about planning my next visit.

One of my go to spots in Durham. The location is great and the food is out of the world. The flavor, and quality of the food is impeccable. Keeps me and my family coming back for more. For more recommendations follow @raleighunlocked on Instagram.
