About Uncle Julio's
Uncle Julio's is committed to providing only the freshest and highest quality Border Style Mexican Food. With distinctive Hacienda decorating style, we created a unique restaurant concept around original recipes that demand only the freshest ingredients tailored after Uncle Julio's family tastes. Beyond tacos, enchiladas and tamales, Uncle Julio's specializes in marinated and mesquite grilled beef and chicken fajitas, ribs, quail, frog legs, and jumbo shrimp.
The first Uncle Julio's Fine Mexican Food Restaurant opened in Dallas, Texas in November 1986. Uncle Julio's popularity grew rapidly, and with it came an instant craze for a drink Uncle Julio's named The Swirl, which is a frozen concoction of layered margarita and home-made sangria. Uncle Julio's has grown to fourteen restaurants located in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Virginia and Florida.

A diner from Maryland
Jul 8, 2012
I had the vegetable fajitas on recommendation from the waitress.
The veges and portobello mushroom were burnt ,charred and still hard . There were very few onions and they charged $3.95 for a small cup of pineapple salsa to put on the fajitas.
They said there was guacamole with the fajita and they sent a small lump of avocado with some chopped tomato and onion on the leaf of lettuce. If I want to make my own guac I would have stayed home. The fajita seasoning tasted like Italian seasoning was used with a strong oregano flavor. Usually Mexican food / fajitas have cumin, chili salt, pepper maybe garlic but not Italian
seasoning.
The wait staff was great but the food was much less desirable.
I would not recommend the food here or return to eat at Uncle Julio's again.
I can make better food at home and I am a gringo.

Horrible service by an argumentative staff. I stopped for the Ostrich burger. When I ordered one I was told they were "out of season". As a semi-regular consumer of Ostrich meat I can assure you there is no Ostrich se

This restaurant is terrible! The food sucks (except the waffle fries) and the staff always asks me for drugs. The TV's are from the 1990's so as a sports bar it's terrible. I would not recommend this restaurant to an ene

This is a small place with good food. It has local artists work displayed and has a small art studio in the basement. They have some difficulty addressing the needs of a larger group more than 4 but is a fun place to go

I have eating here many times and Gary and Martha's (Owners) seafood never disappoints. I like the fact that it is family run and has been for a couple of decades now. Gary is a master at preparing flavorful dishes and
