"Uncle Julio’s is one of my favorite restaurants. I also used to work there (many years ago). This review only reflects this single dining experience. We were seated right away. My husband and I both thought the salsa tasted like it had been soaked in dishwater. It took 8 minutes to get the servers attention. He replaced it and it tasted normal. We were served white rice with peas instead of the Spanish rice and beans that we ordered. When we asked, the server said they ran out found it odd that he didn’t tell us or give us a choice before the runner just served the white rice. Finally, pulled a long grey hair out of the sour cream (which was sitting on the fajita plate) right as server walked up to table. Server asked if it was okay to just take the sour cream plate. We said fine I’m not easily grossed out as a customer but as a server?? I would have been horrified and immediately taken the whole plate away notified the kitchen manager and put in a rush order for new fajitas. Not once did the server express empathy for anything that had gone wrong didn’t even attempt. We gave him 20% because I guess anybody can have a bad night. I’ll go back to Uncle Julio’s but only because I know the quality of the food and service is typically much better. If it had been my first visit I never would have returned. I don’t intend to ever be served by that guy again. Really disappointing experience."
