It's in a shopping center anchored by a Mexican grocery store. The restaurant itself is pretty much the same as the one near us as far as size and decor. It does have more tables. She chose a tacos birria, which she enjoyed in Odenton. She said they were just as good here. I was unable to get carnitas in Odenton, but I got a carnitas bowl here and it was good. I would have like a little more meat, and for the meat to have a little more spice. But the rest of it was fresh and it was all quite tasty. Plus it made 2 meals at home since it's such a large bowl. The service was pleasant; order at the counter and the food is brought out. It was quick and hot. Plenty of parking that's free.

I especially enjoyed the interior design and the habanero shrimp. The space is large and customer service is great. It's somewhat dim in there so it's hard to tell exactly how clean everything is.

Stopped in for an early dinner at Uncle Julio's, conveniently located on the upper level of The…read moreMall in Columbia, where parking is plentiful and free. The space is expansive, with a variety of seating options that can accommodate everything from casual meetups to larger groups. The décor leans into dark wood tones accented by vibrant, colorful artwork, giving it a warm yet lively atmosphere. Service was a standout--our server was upbeat, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful when it came to navigating the menu. The kitchen emphasizes fresh ingredients, with house-made tortillas and many items prepared from scratch, which is always a plus. We started with their complimentary house-made tortilla chips and salsa, a solid way to kick things off while waiting for our entrées. Our table ordered a mix: taco salad, seasoned ground beef tacos (kept simple by request), Baja fish tacos, and chicken quesadillas. Portions were generous across the board, and everything arrived well-prepared and satisfying--definitely enough for leftovers. If you're in the mood for approachable, comfort-style Mexican fare, Uncle Julio's delivers a dependable and enjoyable dining experience.

The portion sized was so generous I could only eat one. The beans were well seasoned, and the cheese was not to overwhelming. The main course though? Oh boy! The Special Quesadilla with chicken was phenomenal! The chicken actually had flavor which was a pleasant surprise compared to other restaurants that will remain nameless. The ratio of meat to cheese was just right, and even with having the large amount of chicken, it did not make for a messy eat. But what brought it all together was the amazing service. My party had arrive 10 minutes before me, and the waitress was there to welcome me right away. My order was taken almost immediately. And my appetizer came out at the same time as everybody else's. My water was always refilled without asking and I was given a box for my leftovers because she had observed that I was full. If you are ever in Ashton, make sure to visit-you wont be disappointed!

I came here on a Saturday afternoon with a friend, a little after peak lunch hours. The parking lot was full and the restaurant, bustling. From the outside, it doesn't look like much and upon walking inside, it transports you. I ordered 4 different tacos- chorizo, asada, lengua, and al pastor- and a tamarind agua fresca. My friend got the shrimp sopes. The food came out quick and super fresh! The plate came with two salsas and I got more at their salsa bar at the front. Honestly, wasn't crazy about any of them (I tried 6!), which was the biggest disappointment of tbe meal. The tacos were otherwise good and lots of flavor. I was so happy they included the roasted onions, too. There were other menu items that looked phenomenal but will definitely try whenever I came back!

First of all the customer service was superb! The bartender even took the time to walk next door a grab me a tres leches cake since they were out in the restaurant. I got 1 each ofbeans/cheese and pork/cheese pupusas, menudo soup, and 2 pork tamales (they were out of chicken). It came with rice, cabbage, onions, cilantro, and a variety of sauces and salsa. I was craving tamales, I'm from the south, and thought this would do the trick. It didn't, completely different. But that was my own failed wishful thinking. I love Latin American food and everything was ok to me. I could tell it was all homemade and the soup was my favorite. The tres leches was different from what I'm used to. It didn't have as much extra milk and it had peaches. It was ok but I prefer the regular way better. Would I came back? Yes and try the tacos and maybe the chicken. Plus like I said the customer service was outstanding! And next time I think I'll eat in the restaurant instead of taking it to go.
