Uncle Julio’s has been a favorite for many many years! I always know and expect to wait and like any restaurant you have fantastic servers and some not so much. I have never been disappointed and they have hands down the best enchiladas ever anywhere! I have tried the New Mexico red sauce cheese enchilada at other restaurants and they never even compare. I’ll always be back...
Great place to go for special occasions. We were celebrating my friend's birthday with a chocolate pinata. If you go it's a must have. There were 3 types of fajitas - vegetable, chicken and beef. I'm not a beef eater but this was good. I had chicken enchiladas they were pretty good. I love the freshly made tortillas. Try them. The table side guac preparation is awesome.
Our server at this restaurant was exceptional. She took the time to ensure that everyone got exactly what they ordered, answered all of our questions and made sure that we had a great dining experience. There are really only two vegetarian items on the menu, but this is typical of Mexican restaurants. I had the quesadilla, which was good. Would go here again if I'm hanging out in this neighborhood.

Started with a couple of really well made Mojitos. Then tried the Jalisco fajitas. They were amazing. Jumbo grilled shrimp with dipping butter, tender steak and perfectly cooked chicken. It came with a side guac, sour cream and cheese. Three kinds of grilled peppers and onions. With a generous portion of freshly made flour tortillas.
For dessert with tried the chocolate pinata! Large chocolate pinata that we got to crack open and out spilled crispy churros, fresh pineapple and fresh strawberries. With mounds of fresh whipped cream and chocolate dipping sauce on the side. This dessert is fun and delicious.
Service was great. And manager circulated throughout restaurant making certain all were happy. 10 out of 10 definitely recommend!
we always love a trip to uncle j’s!!!

I took my daughter here for her birthday.
We ordered el jefe margaritas with salt and pepper on the rim 😋
My fajitas were sizzling. I always get full off 2 tacos. Rice and beans were pretty good.
House guacamole and habanero honey bacon wrapped shrimp for appetizers.
Order the chocolate piñata 🪅 that was fun and enjoyable experience. Yall did an awesome job thank you. The manager came to check on us 2x. Which was nice.
You know the brand, if you don't you need to try it. Step above Mexican food. Great taste, good flavor, old favorites and some unique plates. The staff her is friendly and knowledgeable. Manager stopped by the table. Clean and comfortable. Have you ever tried the chocolate piñata, next time you have a big group try it. You will always want to take a group just to eat it. Parking can be a challenge, front door is not where you would expect it. None of that takes away from the food and service.
Food was really good. Habanero shrimp appetizer had a wonderful sauce with kick. The swirl drink is very attractive and the blend goes well together. The tex-mex enchiladas could have used more sauce but were still yummy. Great hot sauce. They need better trained staff.

Decided to get a little lunch with a fellow associate and enjoy the lunch hour specials. My visit was a little close to 1 pm on a Tuesday, so it wasn't crazy busy. My party was quickly seated.
The food was served hot and my margarita was tasty. Although I normally like an attentive person serving my table, I do believe it's best to read the table as well. My colleague and I were enjoying a great conversation and clearly hadn't got into our meal. There's not a need to check on us every 15 minutes.
So what's not great? I'm not big on suggested tips especially ones that start at 25%. Like really? I don't do less that 15%, but I tip based on service. And keep in mind we split our ticket, so that's 25% per person versus 25% for the total table.
Other than that... I'll visit again.
This Uncle Julio's restaurant (Food, Atmosphere, and Drinks) is better than the one in Arlington, TX.
Atmosphere was nice and the food was decent. It was packed Saturday night, so we ended up sitting at the bar. The bartender was nice and chill even though it was super busy for her.
