amazing my taste buds are awake it's so good you need to try I'm so glad that this place is amazing. and Daniela was so sweet and amzing

Ordered a to go order recently, and it was spectacular! The food was absolutely delicious and I gotta hand it to the team, the food is FANTASTIC! I ordered the cheese enchiladas and they were so good! Everything down to even the corn tortillas they use is magnificent. Literally everything tasted phenomenal! Rice + Beans + Enchiladas were fire!!! The only area I would ask they improve on is when doing to go orders, you include a salsa container for each entree. My husband and I ordered an entree each and only had one small container of salsa to share. Otherwise, it was a flawless meal. read more

Been coming here for 30 years... Recipes have changed. They killed their golden goose by changing their signature salsa and fajitas. It's sad. read more

The food here is Still Great. I moved to the Big D from Tucson back in the late 1900's and their shrimp Taco's and the fish tacos are my favorites here. It get crowded so pack your patience or do a to go order. read more

stopped by for a late lunch/early dinner with my dad and it was nice and quiet. because there was not a lot of people, we were seated and helped quickly. Our food came out pretty fast and our server never let our drinks get less than half full. I don't know if I would return because the food was just okay, but the ambience of the place is nice and the service was great. read more

My work had a big team meeting here. We rented out the back room for about 40 of us. Service was really good. They were pretty attentive getting us drinks and our food. We ordered some appetizers and i ordered the chicken fajitas. The chicken was so moist and had good flavor. We were able to have good discussions and socialize. Good venue for a work get together. read more

Really good food and solid service. Enjoyed being her for the first time in a long time! I'll be back soon.

Fast friendly service. David was our waiter, he was very knowledgeable about the menu and very helpful. We were a little disappointed on the Guadalajara fajitas. I wanted to love them. The bacon was burnt on the shrimp, the shrimp had wonderful flavor other than the bacon (I love bacon). The chicken was cooked to perfection with excellent flavor. The beef, we were very disappointed by, the marinate is not good in my opinion and the meat was very stringy. The dessert piñata was wonderful. If the steak had a different marinate, I would give this five stars. read more

First time having Uncle Julio's and was NOT DISAPPOINTED!! First of all the establishment was very clean very neat, bright and relaxing atmosphere inside and out. If we had stayed instead of to go I know it would have been a great experience as well. But we ordered at the bar, the host was very quick and the bartender as well! My absolute favorite was the BEANS! Oh my I was not expecting them to be that good with bits of bacon. To be fair we just ordered the fajitas for two to quickly take home . Definitely a delicious dinner and I look forward to coming back to try different items and eat at the restaurant! Highly recommend ! read more

Uncle Julio's - The best chips & salsa!! - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Steven the bartender and Jeremy the manager were amazing after we came in AT closing time on a Sunday night straight from the airport and they so graciously kept the kitchen open so we could place our order. And it did not disappoint. The food was just how we remembered it after having lived here 30 years before moving 6 years ago. The tortillas are the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!!! We will be back every time we come back in town! read more

I used to Love Uncle Julios. But they have become so cheap. I order a pick up of Queso and chips and Salsa, close to 60$ The portion for large queso was crazy. Never again. Food is not what it used to be either. Taste is off. read more

We've been coming to this location for years and have always had a great experience--until today. The wait staff was perfectly fine, but the portion of our usual Guadalajara Fajitas was surprisingly small. The dish only included two thin strips of chicken and three thin strips of steak. Thankfully, we ordered the extra bacon-wrapped shrimp, which helped make the meal feel a little more complete. This entrée is priced and advertised as serving two people, but today it barely felt like enough for one. If portions are being reduced, it would be appreciated if there were some kind of notice or adjustment to expectations. We've always enjoyed dining here, so this was definitely disappointing. read more

My wife and I had our first time here at Uncle Julio's in Addison and we could not be more impressed with the exceptional service from our bartender Steven! Also, shoutout to Johnny who made us avocado table side! Service was 10 out of 10. Food was great! Steven works Thursday-Sunday so come in and ask for the man! read more

I used to visit Uncle Julio's multiple times a month until they changed their menu almost a year ago. They ruined all our favorites and we haven't been back since. It's a terrible shame because it used to be our favorite and go-to place to eat. The biggest travesty is the new queso- absolutely disgusting. Bring back the old queso. read more

There were 14 of us. First off I reserved the private room,that they did not save. Second they provided 1 young waitress for the 14. Thirdly drinks were extremely slow. And finally the food was not up to their parr, and because there was only 1 waitress some of us ended up with cold food. We will come back. Lousy experience. read more

The food is bad this use to me one of my favorite places to eat. The menu has changed and the food is bad even the sala

They NEVER answer their phone. Their website ordering operations is useless without any opportunity to tailor to health-related needs. The Thankx app should be done away with! read more

Uncle Julio's used to be consistently amazing - my go to place for Mexican food. The food is not good. We have always order the Guadalajara. The beef fajitas didn't have much flavor. The rice was cold and the refried beans were not good either. So disappointing. The salsa is different now too. I could drink that stuff - not so much anymore. The tortillas were good. Yelp gives this place 3 stars, which is more than fair. I'd say my experience today was less than 3. read more

Had a pretty pathetic experience today. Came in at 2:45. I stood for a while waiting on a host to come seat me. After a few minutes a server saw me waiting and came to help. I asked if the tables in the bar area were open and he said yes then brought me a menu. After waiting for 10 minutes the bartender shouted at me from across the room that the section wasn't open because there was no server. I said oh they sat me here. And he said I don't have anyone. Why was he so inhospitable that he couldn't come out from the bar to take my order. I've seen this happen all the time at this restaurant. The bar stools were full. I was so put off by him and the lack of any hospitality that I got up and just left. Do better. read more

Truly disappointed. Ordered fajitas for two. Meat was chewy. Ordered a bowl of loaded queso. Very disappointing. Plastic cheese. No meat. Beans and rice were average or below as well as hot sauce. Chips were not included . I ask when placed and they said yes. Not correct. Honestly, the best thing was the flour tortillas. Sadly, they could do better. Bar staff was friendly when order was picked up. read more

It has been years since I dined at Uncle Julio's on Lemmon Ave. in Dallas and things have changed. What was once a gourmet Mexican experience is now below average. We were seated at 6:45 pm on a Tuesday evening. A birthday party of 14. We left at 10:15 pm because we waited and waited and waited on everything due to a very slow and indifferent server. She spent more time behind the computer screen where the orders are placed and tickets tabulated than she did serving. I don't know why. No presence of a manager in our dining room. The food came and mine was supposed to have a poblano cream sauce but instead had a dry separated covering. The enchiladas themselves were dry and the beans were a skimpy serving and undercooked, having a crunchy texture rather than soft. Poor service, poor food, indifferent management. Pathetic. Will never return. Take my word for it, don't go! read more

I always like the food here and the service at most Uncle Julio's is great. Horrific at this place. The servers available at lunch are the same crew every time and some are incredibly slow. During quick business lunch hours, one walked off with our credit cards for 20 minutes, well past the hour line at 1 o'clock. I had to ask a host to have the server return. The host was extremely rude and never moved an inch. The server eventually returned - multiple checks incorrect, changed, and charged well over what they should have been. Worst service at lunch I've had in a very long time in a completely empty restaurant. read more

The food here is always really good. I love the enchiladas with the green sauce. Services fast this is a great restaurant to have margaritas and or eat with the family. read more

They must have the ceo from Cracker Barrel because they took everything great about Uncle Julio's and left whitewashed blandness. The rice tasted like "nothing". The food had zero flavor. The place looks like an upscale statehouse? So confusing. Who asked for this? read more

We are DONE with coming here. We were long-time patrons of Uncle Julio's back in the day (10-15 years ago) when it was amazing!! Then the decor and vibe of the restaurant screamed "festive", "colorful", "authentic", "fun", and the food was absolutely fabulous!!! We used to bring out-of-town friends/family here, and they loved it (especially the fajitas). I don't know exactly when it all changed, but the place disappoints now - so devoid of any character! Sterile. The taste of some of the dishes leaves a lot to be desired, and quantities are smaller. We used to love the fajitas (great marinade, sizzling, and flavorful), but now they are skimpy and lacking flavor. We came one last time yesterday, and I tried the tortilla soup for the first time - never again! I honestly can say that it was like the Campbell Soup of Tortilla Soups. The only thing that this place still has going for it is the salsa & chips, and even those are not the same as before. The salsa used to have a mildly-hot "kick", and the chips were so thin and crispy, which set Uncle Julio's high above the rest of them... not now. Oh! and what happened to flan??? Good bye UJ - We tried, but you failed us several times now. We also miss the welcoming big uncle julio's head on the sign out in the parking lot - so iconic. read more

Scratch this one off the top 10 list. What a fall from grace. Having been a loyal customer since they first opened at Greenville Ave and Meadow Ln my perspective is noteworthy. Today's fajitas were average at best. Meat was tough and the beans salty. Gone are the days of Warm to touch salsa and charro beans in a bowl. No pico de gallo- Really? The tortillas were brittle in spots . The table was preset with utensils and plastic glasses. How long they were sitting exposed to passersby I wonder. The server dropped off a bottle filled with tap water ( I suspect) for self pouring. Near room temperature too. Wow! The language barrier of the server stilted communication. The effort was there but the problem marred the experience. You might prefer Pappacitos or Abuelos. Uncle Julio's is trading on the legendary past to provide inferior food today. The swirl was sweet and seems like a different mix even if it looks the same. Minus the pink flamingo stir stick . read more

What has happened to this place? This use to be one of our favorite Mexican restaurants. We had lunch there today. The whole wait staff has turned over. The queso, a staple of Tex Mex, did not taste fresh made. Some recipes have changed. Our food came out room temperature vs hot. When I made the server aware of the temperature issue, his response was "they must have not heated it to the right temperature" which immediately gave me a vision of a microwave. There were very few customers there today so it certainly wasn't that the kitchen was slammed. The server was very accommodating and offered to adjust the ticket but that was not what I was looking for and declined his offer. If the new owners of Uncle Julio's read this review - please revisit and reassess the changes you are making that are impacting the quality of the food you are serving. read more

Uncle Julio's never disappoints.i always enjoy every visit. Their appetizers are yummy specially habanero honey bacon shrimp their house salsas are really good served with chips as a complimentary to your meal. We ordered honey chipotle salmon and combination enchiladas both were great and the presentation was great too. I just wish they still have in their menu the steak and enchilada dinner that was phenomenal. The staff make an effort to make your experience great Overall the ambiance is family friendly and they have several locations. read more

They cannot get anything right at this store. I just called a 4th time in 2 weeks to place a to-go order. No one comes to the phone, they put you on hold, and leave you there. I have complained to the manager. I have called Corporate to let them know. They don't care at all. Neither could give a sh*t. Avoid this restaurant read more

Visited Uncle Julios last evening for a birthday dinner. HLOV I knew it would be bad when my order was being taken and the waiter coughed in my face without an excuse me, apology nothing. Uncle Julio's was once my favorite go to restaurant; however, the quality of the food has diminished extremely disappointing. At least the margarita was good. My friend was overcharged $25, the manager had to mitigate the concern as the wait staff seemed bothered she brought it to his attention. read more

3/5. Food could have been better, the undercooked bell peppers on my Jalisco platter were too crunchy (almost raw), I would recommend that the peppers/onions are grilled a little longer. Rice and beans were supposed to be part of our entree, we however did not get them as the meals came out and had to ask for them which created some confusion with the server. Ambiance was cute and looks like a little Mexican home (know from experience being from Mexico myself) And the oddest most weird thing was that the manager stopped to greet every other table except for my table, which was strange. Not sure why but it does not make me want to come back, not "Karening" this at all, but my bill was $100+ dollars for some fajitas that I can get for the same or better quality elsewhere and probably cheaper. Needs improvement. read more

We have come to Uncle Julio's on Lemmon Ave since the 80's. And, Iit has been a tradition to celebrate Mother's Day here. Food is still good. The parking for this Mother's Day was ridiculous. The restaurant was only half full, plenty of parking, but valet service has become a totally ridulous option, which blocked off the exit. Their valet staff was rude in the lot about trying to go through "their area" to exit. Hmmmm....I thought the customers contributed to making a restaurant successful. We will need to reevaluate any future visits. I would have considered 4 or 5 stars, but not now. read more

If it's a Friday night and I'm trying to have a margarita that tastes good with some fresh, hot fajitas. I'm going to this specific Uncle Julio's. They are always consistently good. I've never had to wait very long for a table, the service is fast, and the food is good. The restaurant is large, the menu is tried and true, and the table-side guac is Love this place! read more

Server wasn't attentive. I had to get another server multiple times to grab him. Granted, he got better towards the end of the service especially when we had a long strand of hair in our food. He got the manager and took pictures of the food as well. Manager though was kinda wack. Came and delivered us new fajitas and said "sorry for the inconvenience" and walked off.. was expecting a bit more considering this hair was wrapped around the dish and we were still charged for it. I remember all of us kinda just glanced at each other as he walked away like okay? that's it? Your server was a lot more apologetic. You're better off going to another UJ elsewhere honestly. read more

Don't care much for the new menu selections. Certainly not Tex Mex any longer. The queso we received was either spoiled or a very unfamiliar taste for a queso - had to send it back. Disappointed-was expecting Uncle Julio's not the new derivative. Service in the bar however was great I will say. read more

This is a favorite restaurant however we were advised the menu was updated "Thursday" and there were only two things that were "familiar" to us. The QUESO HAS CHANGED! That was one of the best queso's around, and now there's a whole lot of extra crap added. Not everyone wants jalapeños, chipotle something, poblano and other peppers in the dip - we couldn't even get it "without spices." Your "signature" queso is being tested however you've never had this new queso in my history of coming- which is a long time, so I wouldn't call it "signature." Well, my family won't be back and my mother was thoroughly disappointed and almost wanted to walk out. I convinced her to split fajitas and even they were bland with tough steak. Menu said onion and peppers and all we got were onions. We won't be returning, not only because prices went up, but everything on the menu changed and changed ingredients that are not recognizable. You can't even get a fajita soft taco plate anymore - just basic tacos with nothing fancy. You've gone the wrong way and hopefully others will agree. Cheers to anyone who likes it but you've lost long time customers. read more
