About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
  • Kid-friendly
Uncle Julio’s is a Mexican from scratch kitchen serving only the freshest ingredients. Specialties include: chicken & steak fajitas, tender filet mignon, and bacon wrapped shrimp. Other favorites include: seafood fajitas, shrimp al pastor, or ahi tuna served with homemade corn tortillas or bibb lettuce.

Uncle Julio’s menu also includes Tex-Mex classics such as tacos, enchiladas & tamales all with a selection of sauces made daily. Insider tip: order the tableside guacamole. It’s prepared for you at your table; if you like it spicy kick it up a notch with fresh chopped jalapenos.

Uncle Julio’s has a vast drink selection. Try our fresh margarita of the day, made to order with fresh fruit. If you prefer a frozen drink then the Swirl is definitely the perfect choice. The Swirl is frozen sangria & frozen margarita layered together dating back to 1987.

    The food is always amazing . This is one of my husband and I’s favorite restaurants. But the biggest issue we have EVERYTIME is we sit down and it takes so long to get water and utensils. They give you chips and salsa right away and take your order quickly but there have been many times that we get our food and utensils and water right after .. so the service is average but the food is amazing!

    It was so loud there, that we had to yell to talk to each. Did not like that atmosphere and will not be back, tables to crowded together, had to move from the booth as the table as the table was so close to the seat, one of the party members could not fit.

    We loved the food and the service was excellent. However, I think that $46 plus tip, is too high for a breakfast for two people.
