They seated 4 of us at a table that is made for kids i think . We were going to have fajitas. I ask the hostess if we could have a bigger table because of all the plates that you get with fajitas, there would not be enough room on this little table they seated us at . There were lots of tables open that were bigger , she said we could sit on the patio. IT WAS 43° . THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME FOR THIS PLACE . There is a mexican restaurant on every corner. Last time they over charged us , took 20 minutes to straighten that mess out , wasn't even our bill. read more

This place is awesome because they have like the chocolate piñata and they have awesome tacos and some pretty good chips and I'm going to be five stars because like they did everything perfectly nice service I like the atmosphere and the atmosphere didn't feel on comfortable seats were very nice and it was a dirty at all and they have good food and this is also written by a 10-year-old and also this place is just awesome how they also have a lot of chocolate milk is really sugary so if you're trying to have a calm night maybe don't bring your kids because I'm already going cuckoo read more

My first time at Uncle Julios and OMG was it spectacular and soooo yummy!!! We enjoyed the carne asada too good absolutely 5 stars and the place was very luxurious and formal very nice environment and conveniently located... Thanks Uncle Julios for a great affordable lunch . Oh and the chips and salsa was soooo fresh aswell. Thanks see you again soon read more

Uncle Julio's. Was very disappointed. Service and atmosphere is all you are really paying for. Cus the lack of food vs money you spend is the biggest rip off. Ordered fajita for two. They put the cheese pinto sour cream and guacamole on the same plate that the meat comes out to hid the lack of meat you are getting for 30-40 bucks. Got to say. I count only 5 strips of meat for 40 bucks. What a joke. Never coming back. Not a cheap person. And tipped 30%. Nancy the best server! But food to money. Was NOT. Worth the value. 100 total for two. Lol. Hate the feeling that you over paid for something. Will go out of business. Watch. SHD read more

we arrived Saturday eve a party of 3. told 30 min wait. waited 30 min and told another 10 min wait. this WAS to be mt birthday celebration. I waited all day for this and it was a major let down. I ordered a drink VERY SPECIFICALLY as it was made 3 werks ago at the UJ in Ft. Worth. I CLEARLY told the bartender NO SWEET AND SOUR MIXURE. she ignored my request and the drink was so sour and $14.00!!!! don't bother with this restaurant. I hv never written a review before but this place just made my evening a let down. we left and I went home--no special dinner. WE WILL NEVER VISIT THIS AWFUL PLACE AGAIN. read more

The food is fantastic, but we were stuck in the bar corner where table is not the cleanest, and at first nobody tending us for about 7-8 minuets. Overall it's still the best Tex-Mex in the area and spare us some time to drive in to Dallas, but the service level is still not comparable. read more

I have the best waistres she did an amazing job, the drinks on point also the foods came so fast, amazing job of the supervisor, I'm in love with this place once again . The hostesses all the team was amazing. read more

Uncle Julio's - Kitchen area - Mexican Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Out with the family for lunch. Newly built Uncle Julio's in Arlington on service headed towards Louisiana. Maybe east 20. Food was okay. I've had better. They have a beautiful dessert pinata. Next go around will be just for that alone. A milk chocolate ball filled with fruit, liquid chocolate, churros. It is beautiful and unless your greedy, big enough to share. $25 is the small one and $30-35 was larger. read more

Excellent all around! Our 1st time was during training, the food & drinks were all terrific. We had no invite, but they welcomed us anyways. They have been open for about 45 days, wait is +90 mins, so we dined at the full service bar. Bartenders greet w a handshake & smile. Margaritas are the BEST. Food is consistent & delicious. Deserts are the BEST I've had at a Mexican restaurant. Highly Recommended read more

I gave this review because their online ordering system and follow up is horrible. We placed an order and received a message our food would be ready at 8:37, at 8:45 I arrived in the parking lot and all the spaces for curbside pick up had cars parked in them with no one in the cars. I went inside only to see a bunch of angry people who were waiting for their food. after waiting an hour we finally got our food. We live 5 minutes away and when we got home we had to heat the food up because it was cold. Uncle Julio's had been our Christmas Eve tradition but this is the second year in a row this has happened. We may have to start a new tradition because it's not worth the aggravation. I also felt sorry for the hostesses in the front who were getting grief from the angry customers. Uncle Julio's has to get a better system! read more

Nice decor and the food is pretty good too. Worth a trip. It is a bit noisy though. The acoustics are terrible. But we go there every couple of months for the general subdued atmosphere. The waitstaff is usually very pleasant also. read more

I think this place has the potential to be a 4/5, but it's just not there for me yet. I enjoyed the setting, but it was a bit loud. My main issue is the food was a bit pricey for the quality and quantity I got. The Food I Sampled: I enjoyed the salsa, which had a unique smokey flavor to it. The chips were thin, which isn't everybody's thing. I ordered the Spicy Seared Tuna Tacos, which were good. In the tacos was a mango-slaw and it overpowered the fish and cilantro flavors. It was reminiscent of eating a tuna salad, only in taco form. I sampled the Carnitas Azteca, and it was probably the best entree at our table; they were very tender. The honey-chipotle sauce was one-sided and gave an overall dominant sweet flavor to the Carnitas. The Beef Fajitas and Bacon Wrapped Camerons were ok. On the note of sides, if at all possible, I would recommend the Mexican Rice over the Cilantro Rice, and the Spicy Black Beans over the Frijoles a la Charra (the standard beans served).

I would leave negative stars if possible...first of all we walked into a nearly empty restaurant at 5:30 on a thursday. We were promptly taken to a table in the back corner of the empty restaurant. After expressing our displeasure with the table the hostess offered us a different table, right next to the first one.....I then asked if the beef enchiladas had onions to which the waitress very firmly answered " oh no sir!" Yet when they arrived they were more than half vegetable including onions. After informing the waitress I got an "oh...sorry", and still got charged for them. This was my first and will be my LAST visit! read more

Ah, great place for food and fun. Gotta get that piñata folks! Food great, table side guacamole one of the best around. So glad they came to my neighborhood. We've been to 2 others in the metroplex and now we have our own. read more

If you're a frequent patron of Uncle Julio's you're better off going to the Ft. Worth location or one of the other locations in the DFW metroplex. I've visited quite a few locations around DFW and also the Austin location and this one is by far the worst. Don't take my word for it, just look at the photos. Anyone can clearly see these two dishes look as if they're from two different restaurants. The first photo is the 3 chicken enchiladas (2 salsa verde, 1 sour cream) from the Ft Worth location, and the second photo is the 2 enchilada entree (1 sour cream and 1 salads verde) from the Arlington location. The Ft Worth location uses real chiles in their salsa verde, and you can definitely see (and taste) the difference. As you can see, the sour cream sauce and the salsa verde from the Arlington location are both a bit watery as well and have only a small amount of cheese on the top. No complaints with the rice & beans or chips & salsa (it's hard to mess that up). I'm a big fan of Unlce Julio's and will definitely return again, just not to the Arlington location read more

This restaurant was fantastic from the service all the way to the food. Our server Mario was exceptional. He went over the menu with us and even gave us recommendations. I will definitely be returning soon. Great job Uncle Julio's. read more

I dined at Uncle Julio's this evening for Happy Hour. Our waiter, Zachary was generous and very attentive. The food was excellent, tasty and hot. The margaritas cannot be match by anyone and the Decor is breathtaking. In my opinion, the best Mexican in town. So happy that Uncle Julio's is in the South Arlington area. The Biggest fan, Melonie Grier read more

I didn't want to give any stars. I wasn't impressed with this place or the food. Over priced, not worth the money. Waiter was not friendly or should I say He did have time to be friendly, we wanted to set outside and was told they don't have enough waiter and or waitress to put us out there even though there was many tables available, and people (customers) already out there. It was my first time there. I don't see wasting anymore time or money in there, it's just a very over priced restaurant. read more

It was great and our waiter , Michael was awesome! Very attentive, funny and knowledgeable, and very accommodating!!! And the food was great! To experience this awesome service ask for MICHAEL!!! read more

Ok service but my food came out cold twice! All the manager did was come over and make excuses for why it was cold. I will continue to go to the uncle Julio's in Oaklawn, they never let me down. I ordered a martini and I might as well had ordered juice. Martinis are suppose to be strong! read more

Great service and our waiter Simon was amazing will be going back just to see him and enjoy the wonderful margaritas!

Let's start with the atmosphere, it's calm, nice and not much noise like other restaurants. Our server was doing the job right until we had to pay our tab and wait for 15 minutes, the restaurant was already closed so there weren't many guests to take care of. Overall she did a good job. We tried the -728331227 Margarita, yes I'm being sarcastic, anyways, for my personal opinion it was overpriced, I felt like I paid more because they prepare them in front of you. I wouldn't buy it again. Finally, it's food time! I'm a fajita lover so as expected I got me the chicken and steak fajitas. They were good, tasty, served hot and cooked to perfection. My only disappointment is the serving size, I believe they are also overpriced. Did I just paid $16+ for 3 slices of chicken and 3 slices of steak? (Without mentioning the guac, pico and cheese) I expected more from this restaurant but I left disappointed. Anyways, enjoy a whatever it's called chocolate piñata, those are worth the wait. read more

I had my birthday dinner here on a Friday and I understand that it gets busy on weekends but that is the reason why I had made a reservation. I made my reservation at 7:30 and we were not seated until 8:00. If my reservation would have been taken on time I would be giving you guys 5 stars. Overall the service was great and the food was great too! Christian was an amazing server he did awesome in taking care of us, since we were a large party. Finally, the best experience was the Piñata! read more

Uncle Julio's - Piñata - Mexican Near Me - Arlington, Texas

I live out of town and couldn't wait to go to Uncle Julio's for supper. It was the worse decision I could have made for supper. It took 5 minutes before we were brought chips and our drinks. We had asked for artificial sweetener, but it didn't come with our drinks. We had to wait another few for it. We ordered an appetizer and we got it with our meal instead of before our meal. I had soft tacos that were spicy and did not really taste like tacos. A big disappointment. Then when we were paying, the server stood right there looking at the receipt which a 20% tip added to it. She just kept staying and staying. I do not tip that much unless the service is great. Ours was not. Overall, we will not go back to Uncle Julio's again. read more

If you have been to uncle Julio's in Fort Worth you know the kind of food you are getting. I did like the atmosphere and the staff at this location more. Still very crowded but a good choice for Mexican food. I was just there and ordered the tortilla soup plus salad and we had another tortilla soup with tacos al carbón off the lunch menu. Lunch menu ended at 4p which was a steal plus it was great food. Our server was also exceptional read more

Manager did not handle the private birthday party event well at all! Terrible communication!

Have lived in New Mexico for 6 years, but THIS is the kind of Tex-Mex that makes my taste buds happy.

I just wanted to take a minute to commend my waitress at Uncle Julio's. I don't normally do this but this young lady's hospitality just renewed my faith in the restaurant business. During the Mother's Day weekend, as expected, the restaurant was full and very busy. Although we waited a while to get seated, my family and I were unbothered by our wait because of our waitress Nancy went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of.... before we even reached her table. her hospitality was a breath of fresh air. I almost cringe at the thought of dining out these days because of the awful service we always receive. However, Nancy has been the most hospitable, sweet, prompt waitress we have ever had. She made sure the food came out right, before it reached our table. Our drinks were never empty, and she didn't hover around all the time making us uncomfortable. My family, and my friends will return to Uncle Julios's because of the great service we have received. Blessings, read more

Let's start with the Seasoning in the meat the beans the EL JEFE Margarita but careful there's a limit of only two per person. First time here but definitely not our last. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR is true for this place, well worth it! read more

$300 for awful food. Ordered meal with 6 shrimp and the tops were cut off, must have needed for some other dish, feel cheated. The beef fajitas were tough as shoe leather and every other meal we ordered wasn't very good. Last trip there. Would not recommend, it is not good Mexican food at all. read more

I always enjoy Uncle Julio's in Arlington. Food is delicious! Wait staff are great and friendly! I always eat too many chips with their salsa and Blanco queso, that I always have leftovers to take home and I enjoy Uncle Julio's again for lunch. YUMMY! My only let down is that the Arlington restaurant doesn't have the coconut flan. My husband and I like the flan! Please get it at the Arlington location! read more

Service was good but the shrimp tacos were too sweet. Food came out quick but shrimp were cold. Didn't complain, just ate them.

Great place. Food was incredible and tasted fresh. The tortillas didn't seem like they were made from scratch but everything was still delicious. We ordered quesadillas, enchiladas and fajitas and everything was hot and came out as ordered. The hatch sauce was flavorful however the salsa carne was the best topping for enchiladas. The queso appetizer was good but tasted heavily of onions. Service was a little frustrating. Our table was moved after we were sat because a bigger party came and between lack of refills and waiting on sides/tortillas for the establishment presenting itself the way it did I would expect higher quality. Other than that enjoyable and would go back. read more

Im a big fan of Gloria's, and was convinced there wasnt a comparable rival until this place showed up. The atmosphere is an A+, everything you would expect in an upscale Mexican restaurant. They have plenty of variety especially their DRINKS!! They allow you to reserve tables and guarantee seating upon arrival. All of my waiters so far have been beyond accommodating. The green Chile chicken tamales are one of my favorites from this place. read more

First of all, the food is very tasty. The service, however, completely ruined the experience. If you review the 1 star ratings from other patrons, the staff and service is the main reason for the low score. They really need to take a hard look at the Arlington location. I never want to eat here again. A fish stinks from the head to the tail. Manager Abraham's bad attitude really stinks. I feel he missed an opportunity to deescalate a situation and added to the stress. He might need a bit more training dealing with customers. He even brought his "snappy" mouth over and was so sassy, he spit in my sister's drink. She had to reorder a new one. We made reservations and about 16 people showed. Abraham told us he would seat about 7 of us while waiting on the table next to us to clear. Minutes later, the table next to us cleared only to be filled by another party. Abraham came over and acted as if he never said he would seat the remainder of our family there. Instead, he separated the two groups as if we never made reservations at all. We were basically two different parties. We couldn't interact, hear, or participate in any conversation with one another. It reminded me of what happened at the restaurant Houston's. It was a really bad experience for me and I just wish someone would extend at least an apology. We spent several hundred dollars for horrible service- most of it came from management. As a business owner myself, this is the kind of review I try to avoid at all cost. However, this kind of service is completely unacceptable and needs to be addressed immediately. read more

Horrible service and I hope you never have to encounter the Manager Abraham. He was rude and unprofessional. I am open to being contacted by corporate to discuss the issue further. read more

This was absolutely disappointing my brother was having his gender reveal here and we called on Monday to have the private room on Sunday the manager separated us at different tables even though the private room was available. Causing my pregnant sister in law to be stressed out to do something that should be an amazing day for them if your planning a party or event I wouldn't come here other than the manager being incompetent to stick to his word the staff was great read more

Love this place. Each time I visit, the wait staff are very attentive and helpful. The manager on duty usually comes by to ensure your satisfaction. Not to mention the awesome food and drinks. Can't go wrong with this place. read more
