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, red snapper, or ahi tuna served with homemade corn tortillas or bibb lettuce.

Also available are Tex-Mex classics such as tacos, enchiladas & tamales all with a selection of sauces made daily. Insider tip: order the tableside guacamole. 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 the perfect choice. The Swirl is frozen sangria & frozen margarita layered together- a classic since 1987.

    In spite of the Covid19 virus, we chose to dine out on the second to last night before restaurants were to close. The employees were already aware they were going to be off work for two weeks or more, but that did not stop our waitress from being exceptionally sweet and attentive. We did have one dish that came out incorrect, but she immediately took corrective action. We all enjoyed our meal and the chocolate pinata really made our birthday celebration a hit. Very enjoyable experience.

    My visit was great. Mathew is a great waiter. Very nice and answered all of our questions about the menu. He came back often to see if we needed anything. He is the best waiter I have ever had at any restaurant. I will definitely go back!

    Great food. Very generous with home made chips and awesome salsa. Dinner portions seem small for the price. Drinks not on special are expensive. That said. We love the restaurant and will go back. Thanks.

    The chips and sauce are excellent. we love the steak tacos but whenever we get a couple tacos the meat is never hot the tortillas last time were barely warm and hard
