About this restaurant

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.

    The waiter did not bring the receipt. My son went to get the receipt from the cashier but was given the wrong receipt. He went back to finally receive the correct receipt.

    Our first visit and we WILL be back! Food was great. Got a pinata for my son's birthday and it was a hit (no pun intended). Delicious and so fun!

    The tortilla chips were so severely undercooked making them weirdly chewy, transparent, and yet completely saturated with oil. The guacamole had oxidized turning at Brown. Salsa was watery. Beef fajitas, chicken fajitas, and veggies were all under salted. Server was super friendly. Chocolate piñata was fun. Next time, I would skip the food and just come for the chocolate piñata for a special occasion.

    Horrible experience , the tortillas where cold , the rice was cold too, the frijoles charros where to salty , the little tortillas chips they put for u when u just come in horrible they taste like if they where old , I order enchiladas also they where bad they where cold every was cold and bad I came all they way from Pasadena to Katy just to try this new place to take someone as my date and it was the worst experience , I should have look at the reviews first . If I could give them 0 stars I will do it . I never do this but this time my food was horrible we left everything and I pay 50 dollars for not eating nothing . I make the reservation and everything for nothing cause everything was tasting really bad , I learn my lesson....

    Our server was obviously new and very forgetful Very nice, but again very forgetful! We asked for things multiple times and she seemed to completely forget. My food came out wrong and instead of simply apologizing, I got to hear the story of how it wasn’t her fault and she told the kitchen. Honestly, I’m not concerned with placing blame for a botched order. I’m much more concerned about getting my food in a timely manner so I can eat with my husband and our friends rather than after they’ve finished. Hasn’t happened in three weeks of Friday nights at Uncle Julio’s.
