“ This was our first time going to uncle Julio's , we liked the salsa, the cheese queso was good. One member of my party ordered Tex mex combo which included beef enchilada a chicken enchilada and a taco, he said it was really good, another member of my party, had cheese enchiladas , I had shrimps fajitas, it came out hot, the shrimp was big, the beans and rice were good and I was full when I finished. The waitress was attentive and service was good. The restaurant was a little loud but there were several big parties that came in while we were there ”
“ This place always impresses me very, very great very clean. Service was amazing. The guacamole is amazing. Some of the best fajitas I've ever had. I highly recommend this place. Don't give five stars very often but today I do. ”
“ Ample parking. Attractive outside and in. Beautiful outside seating area with covered and uncovered seating. It took us a while to discover Uncle Julio's but now that we've discovered it we have been recommending it to many people. The level of service is top-notch and the food is what I would call elevated TexMex. They bring chips to your table and they're very light and delicate. They always bring two types of salsa (one with charcoal roasted tomatoes with a bit of heat, the other fresh tomato salsa with garlic) both are very good. There's so much to like about this place. The tableside guacamole preparation is something you should experience. They also make their own soft tortillas in house and they are absolutely the best soft tortillas I've ever had. They were just outstanding. Warm soft tortillas fresh ingredients. The same can be said for the Ceviche. It is very fresh and not fishy at all. Here's a tip, you can have it accompanied by a soft tortilla instead of tortilla chips. Our server (Hannah) was so friendly and knowledgeable. We look forward to future visits. ”
“ This is my second time back in the last 30 days. I was not disappointed, the menu has few items like: tacos, salads, fajitas, desserts, and maybe one more that I can't think of right now but it's limited option. However the food came out great again. Nobody on my table of 5 complained. All grown up friends, we had the piñata dessert because there was a birthday being celebrated and there is one item inside it I did not like which was the churros. They tasted like they were old or something, I didn't care too much for it. Ambiance again was fun, full house but not too loud, music not too loud, regular speaking voices, nobody had to yell things to the other side of the table. Overall I've had two good experiences I'm within the last 30 days. This time I went to the man's bathroom which I hadn't gone to, it's very clean, smells nice too. Quite elegant for a public bathroom. ”
“ An absolute fancy marvelous vibe in here. The servers were very quick to greet you and were nice and friendly too. The other buildings surrounding this one may not let you realize that this one is super high level. The food I ordered was simple bc it was late at night but it was still delicious. ”
“ Very impressed with this location! Outstanding service and great quality food. We came on Father's Day and had a great lunch. we were seated at our request in a booth. It had comfy bottom and back padding. Water was brought immediately to the table and the server (Taryn) continuously came by to make sure our drinks, chips, and salsa were full. She also asked repeatedly if she could get us anything throughout the dinning experience. She was very kind and engaged in friendly conversation with our 6 year old daughter. Top Notch Server!!!! The manager came by and wished me a happy father's day and inquired about our visit and if we needed anything. Very positive vibes from all staff from time we entered to the time we left. The food was well flavored with lots of spice. All fresh and crisp from the chips, the taco, and enchiladas. Would definitely recommend getting the charro beans as the beans, meat, and flavoring created one of the best charro beans I have ever had and I live in Texas. My daughter loved her kids meal and it was way more food than she could eat. The ambiance was very nice with a darker dinning experience offset with lighting that lit up your booth/seat. I felt the music was a tad on the loud side but did not interfere with table conversation like some other restaurants (ex. TX Roadhouse) ”
“ As a first timer to Uncle Julio's, I was not disappointed. In terms of food, this is the area where Uncle Julio's truly shined. It has a great bar area and the server was super helpful. I tried the recommended crab and shrimp enchiladas plate, and it was no disappointment either. The meat in the enchiladas just melted in your mouth. I truly have no idea how they were able to make it so soft. Comparing to other similar restaurants in the area, Uncle Julio's is more expensive, with some entrees run up to $30+. Even regular Mexican entrees are pricier than other restaurants. Chips and salsa are great but these are stable items of any Tex-Mex restaurants. Uncle Julio's offers the habanero sauce if requested for extra spice in your food, an instant favorite feature for me. Friday night, the restaurant is usually busy. Weekdays are less busy though. Overall, a good Tex-Mex restaurant that may be worth coming back because of great food. ”
“ We heard great things about Uncle Julio's. We finally made a trip there to see if everyone was right. My husband ordered the El Hefe Margarita which was good. I ordered the Grand Julio Margarita which was also good. We try the Queso Blanco with ground beef which my family loved and I enjoyed the salsa. The salsa has a nice mesquite taste. My daughters ordered the kid's quesadilla which they enjoyed. My husband and I both ordered the chicken tortilla bowl. Overall it was good and we will be back. Ambience was fun and they played good music. Service was friendly and fast! ”
