About this restaurant

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

    Everyone loved their food - however two of our orders were incorrect. Being the first time we were there, we were unsure until we reviewed the menu at home. One of our group. One of our group ordered the Steak and Enchilada dinner. This was to include two cheese and onion enchiladas - it included a single chicken enchilada.

    Sat forever, finally waitress comes over and is like is anyone helping you? She’s like well you’re not in my section but you’re stuck with me. No frozen drinks from bar, computer crashed she had to come back to table to verify order. They forgot our small guacamole, my sides, and had to ask for my tortilla shells. Food was good at least.

    After waiting about 20 minutes for table side Guacamole, I got the server’s attention and suggested that entrees not be served as soon as the guacamole arrived. But, that’s exactly what happened. Maybe the server was overwhelmed but it should have been avoided.

    We arrived a bit early for our 11:30 lunch and were seated right away. Miguel, our wonderful server, got us started with iced tea, and we had table side guacamole prepared just the way we wanted it. It was some of the best we’ve ever had! Our entree’s were delicious and beautifully presented. My friend had the Guadalajara combination fajitas, and I had the Honey Chipotle Salmon. My friend had never been to Uncle Julio’s, and stated several times that her meal was one of her all-time favorites. Uncle Julio’s has great ambiance, warm, friendly service, and incredibly delicious from-scratch food. It is a great choice for a memorable meal!

    I felt that since we were a larger party they would put us away from others but they always seat everyone up front. I did notice that one larger group was hidden away which gave them more privacy. It didn't look like it was a "business" lunch either. I honestly felt that the other tables were on top of each other.
