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.

    Food was not as good as usual, service was slow and dis-satisfactory. The ribs were returned as it was dry and terrible taste. Service was very slow due to being too busy and servers too. Busy. Silverware was delayed as it was still being washed. Overall - not the usual service and enjoyment that we used to have at this restaurant. They seem to be dropping the ball on standards.

    A regular visitor to the restaurant, my spouse's dinner arrived at our table cold and clear it had been sitting for too long before serving to her. Without even asking, the server arrived and advised the meal was being removed from our bill. Things like this can happen but kudos for the immediate acknowledgement and doing the right thing. We will be back.

    The food quality was just not up to its typically wonderful quality. The ceviche had way too much garlic and not enough lime or salt (it's typically a favorite of ours) and the fajitas came out with barely any onions and peppers. Plus, the carne asada didn't seem to be quite the same flavorful cut that it normally is. And the salsa was pretty watery. Has the chef or recipes changed?

    Uncle Julio's has our absolute favorite food. The chips and salsa are the best! The fajitas are delicious. Our only complaint is the prices keep going up and the portions size keeps going down. Even the salsa bowls are smaller! It makes me sad.
