About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
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.

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.

    My family dined in on Saturday and our waiter forgot to put our ticket in so everyone around us was eating and we were looking like what's going on here! We ordered tableside guacamole and the server put 3 scoops of Japaleno's in it and laughed. We were celebrating my daughter's pregnancy so imagine how upset I was. We had to ask to have it remade which was great but what made you do that and to laugh!

    The social spacing was great however, the service was lacking. I would return here because I visited during the Corona situation. Overall not a bad experience.

    I've eaten here a few times and each time I think "why am I here?" The noise levels inside are deafening. You have to shout to be heard by the people at your own table. On this particular evening our table was surrounded by tables full of shrieking children who were running all over the place shouting at the top of their lungs. Their parents were just as ill-mannered, one of whom was moving into our table-space, almost sitting on our laps while we were eating, just to take pictures. It was an incredibly awful experience.

    Everything was good. The guacamole prepared in front of your table is delicious. Servers are very attentive. The only thing is that the prices are a little bit high. Other than that, I loved it. Will return
