Uncle Julio's Fine Mexican Food

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Uncle Julio's at Stonebridge in Woodbridge, Va, and boy, was it a delightful experience. Meeting up with a friend there, We caught up over a drink. Being a fan of Mexican tequila, I decided to go for the mezcal option, as its smoky flavor adds an extra level of enjoyment. I opted for their Perfect Paloma, and let me tell you, it was pure perfection! The combination of flavors was spot-on, leaving me eager for another round. Trust me, you won't regret ordering one yourself.

What a change on the menu within a few days of dining in. Rice and beans no longer come with the fajitas, rice has changed. Kids' menu on a bento box. The AC wasn't working and super slow service! Just like the one in Fairfax on a Tuesday night. But our server was accommodating. After 14 years of coming to Uncle Julio's religiously, we've come to know all the staff st different locations and have seen all the changes, including the interiors. But there has been a decline overall. We will no longer be patrons here.

Whether you have a large group or you are dining solo, Uncle Julio’s is a great place to unwind in a casual atmosphere. The staff is friendly and attentive. The food is first class and the portions are huge. The free chips and salsa are wonderful; however, I recommend getting the table side guacamole. It’s second to none. The drink menu is extensive and you will be thrilled with their margarita offerings. So good! I highly recommend Uncle Julio’s.

We went for the first time last night and will definitely be back when we are in the area. There was a 5 minute wait for a table, but they were really busy. The service was amazing. Our order was taken promptly after our drinks were served. We never had to ask to have our waters refilled. The waiter was attentive! The quality and portion of food was better than anticipated. The bathrooms were really clean, especially for it being a busy Friday night. The restaurant was a little loud from the hustle and bustle of the waitstaff and the conversations of other patrons.

Don Julio's food quality and taste is superb. The service is top notch. The atmosphere is as you would expect of a quality restaurant during busy hours. Drinks are well mixed and flavorful. Interactions with staff and managers are positive. Our server on 2/24/2023, Brian and his trainee Jaye (sp?), was attentive but not overwhelming and took care of our every need during our visit. The food, fajitas and tacos, was exquisite. The steak meat was tender and juicy and the accompaniments, hot or cold were freshly made. So much more to say about Uncle Julio's but the experience was just one to savor and enjoy.
