About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
  • 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.

    Waiter was great. They did not have the right amount of spots for my reservation and scrambled to try to find more seats. One dish came out 30 minutes before the rest and a child’s plain taco came out full dressed and 20 minutes after the rest of the food after we complained about it twice...... no one to sing happy birthday with the piñata. I was told by the server all the other servers refuse to sing ? Like this place but not much experience here for the good.... it was just eh.

    Daniella, my waitress was really wondering. She was helpful, nice, friendly. She made my 21st birthday dinner amazing. She gave me the best recommendations for food and drinks to get. The evening was definitely one of the best ones and I thank Daniella for making it beyond special.

    Although Uncle Julio's advertises from scratch the food does not taste like. They way overuse onions in everything. I ordered steak fajitas and the vegetables were mostly onion with a couple of small bites of green and red pepper. The Margaritas are small and overpriced. I would not recommend Uncle Julio's.

    My wife and I went here for Valentine's Day dinner. It was our first time at Uncle Julio's. We had a reservation and we were seated as soon as we arrived which was great. Our waitresses service, the food, and ambiance was all part of a great experience. We look forward to coming back.
