Tom Collins is now there previously from salt grass with Bar tenders Tim, Will, and Kevin. Ok best enchiladas especially the Crab and Shrimp. Awesome service that is why we followed him to this place. We have known him for more than 6 years! The food was very good!

We ordered about $300 of food via door dash . Half the entrees did not show up. We had to order them through door dash again as I had 8 hungry guests. The whole graduation celebration was a disaster. Mistakes happen , but the manager was not apologetic ( which was surprising because it was such a big error !) and did not offer any compensation. It was clearly the restaurant's fault for not checking the order and leaving off $70 worth of food. Most of the food was average to above average. The guac was bad. Although I like the food here, I cannot get over poor service top to bottom.

I haven't been to Uncle Julio's in a number of years, but it used to be one of my favorite spots. Party of 3. To start off we ordered water and a small queso. The water was served in a MAYBE 12 oz glass that you pour yourself from a milk jug. No ice. We had to ask for a new water jug 4 times. The queso came and for $9 I would have expected something homemade. This looked and tasted like something from a jar. Orange cheese with some pico dumped on top. Fire roasted salsa had a great flavor, however it was so watery, none of it would stay on your chip. My sister ordered steak nachos and my husband and I got the combo fajitas. Food came quickly, but that's where the positivity ends. The cheese on the nachos was barely melted. The fajitas came with 2 sides of rice and charro beans, one tiny plate with about a tablespoon of guacamole, maybe 2 tablespoons of sour cream and enough cheese for maybe 1 fajita, and 3 tortillas. I had one, my husband had 2 and we waited about 10 minutes before we flagged down our waiter asking for more tortillas. Again, brought 3. The steak was completely unseasoned, chicken was seasoned well. To top it all off, it was about 100 degrees inside. We mentioned this to our water and he said yeah sorry, it's always hot in this building. However, a few minutes later the a/c kicked on, right in time for us to leave. Our waiter brings our "ticket" which is a hand held device and says he will be back to pick it up. It took us about 10 minutes to figure out how to swipe a credit card on the thing. No printed receipt, email only. The only saving grace was our waiter was nice and friendly and for the most part attentive. He was very busy and got by our table as often as he could. We wouldn't have waited for tortillas and water as often if they had served in regular sized glasses and more than 3 tortillas. After taxes and tip, our bill was about $100. I will not be going back.

So far this has been the best Mexican restaurant that we have experienced since moving from Arizona. Miguel our server made some great recommendations and was very attentive during our dinner.Table side guacamole, watermelon margarita and those fajitas! Amazing!

The food is so great. The service is just as enjoyable. Tim and Will behind the bar made for such a great evening. Tim made me a special dessert cocktail. Sooooooo great.

Do you enjoy the idea of watching your kid beat a chocolate pinata at dinner time? Then yes, you need to check this place out. Quite the ambiance, Uncle Julio's does not disappoint. Staff is friendly and attentive. I never ran out of water or chips / salsa. Meals were excellent. No issues devouring the enchiladas. Would highly recommend if you are in the area.

This is one of the best restaurants for Mexican food. This was my first time here at this restaurant. I would totally come back again after eating their food. I couldn't stop eating their chip and salsa. It was so crispy and provided great salsas. The chip was unlimited. As the bowl was gone, they had already filled the bowl with new chips. I got the classic TacoSalad. It was so good, the flavor was so rich and savory from sausce.Parking: There are ton of space or spots.

Our server Darian was fantastic! She took care of all 8 of us with careful anticipation of our needs in a timely manner. She was sweet and personable, and made us feel so comfortable to enjoy our meal. The hostesses were also very helpful and accommodating. Our head count changed a bit and I asked to be seated on the patio last minute and they made it happen in a snap. Great experience!

The service at this location was super, Delmy was prompt with everything and super nice. After our last experience at the camp Bowie location we decided to give this location a try. This location and service surpassed our expectations. I will definitely be back after this experience. Management was on top of things as well.

We went for a birthday dinner and the chocolate pinata was so cool and was so delicious. The roasted salsa is one of my favorites. Everyone thought their main dish was the best. The service was excellent.
