    The gentleman working, who was able to bring his son was a well-rounded bartender who had a presence that spoke with itself, professional, and prompts, and was taking tables on the floor around the bar top that was pretty full during happy hour and very hospitable.

    For our appetizer, we started out with Delicious guacamole, made in house with mashed Hass Avacados, chopped; onions, jalapeño, cilantro and tomatoes. We ordered the large, however, it looked like one small scoop served with fried corn tortilla chips. I also started out with Modelo beers with lime and salt. My friend and I both ordered the Cheese & Onion Enchiladas. I requested cilantro rice and refried beans for my sides. The food was good. The service was horrible. My bear was 2/3 full. I asked where the rest was. He just walked away. Our whole dining experience was terrible thanks to the rude waiter. Food 4 stars - service 0.

    The food was good but not the Uncle Julio's I remember. The service was good, not great. We had an order delay and then weren't offered a discount for my wife to wait 15 minutes for her order.

    The food and service was awesome! We went to celebrate me getting a new vehicle & the waiter was so sweet & kind. The facility was clean and inviting. The fish tacos absolutely my fav I've ever tasted!! Definitely going back!

    Visited this evening on a work trip. The salsa is top notch and the rest of the food was wonderful. I had the chicken and skirt steak fajitas. The atmosphere is awesome with several games on the TV!!! The service was a little slower than anticipated but they leave water at the tables for you to personally fill so it's reasonable. Thanks for a good experience.

    We went in maybe 2.5hrs before close and they weren't too busy. We had a decent sized party of 7. Our waitress was very nice and attentive the entire time. She made sure we had drinks, chips and salsa on the table at all times. The food tasted more tex-mex than authentic but it was overall good. I guess they do a margarita a day or week and we ordered those which was a mixed berry margarita.

    This was my first time here came on a Saturday around 4:30 we were seated quickly I got the chicken tortilla soup which was really yummy and the crab and lost her flour tortilla enchiladas they also have the option for corn with a sides of pinto beans and fruit (strawberries,pineapples and grapes). The enchiladas were sooo good. I wish the beans came with no pork though. Maria was our waitress she was nice and answered all questions . Around 5:20 it started to get really busy but the noise level was average. They also have an happy hour M-F 3-6 pm.

    Churros but not the best

    This review is hard because the first Uncle Julio's I went to was in Chicago. I've been to the ones in Dallas and Naperville as well. This was our third time at this location in OKC. As a chain, the tortillas and chips are chef's kiss. I'd come here just for that. I enjoy the salsas, traditional and the mesquite one. But the meat quality is just ok. The chicken in ALL locations now are off - not juicy and buttery like it used to be years ago. The steak is better here, but still dry. We got churros to go. The sugar topping was nonexistent. It looked like someone's first attempt at making churros - like we got the reject ones! They used to be little bite sized pieces - they should probably go back to that. Service was friendly, though our meal did take awhile to get to us. It was pretty packed on a Friday night. Ambience is always nice. It's a fun spot for a drink or to watch a game. Maybe I should try ordering something vegetarian next time, I don't know anymore!

    The food here was just okay. We did the taco Tuesday. I liked all the toppings it came with. The chips and salsa were very good. It was great they had vegan options. The appetizer nachos were so bland and gross. The service was decent. It was a large party so she did the best she could. It's a nice family environment. We were celebrating a birthday , I don't know if I'll ever go back on my own.

There were plenty of tables and places to sit. The hostess got us to a table and we sat and ordered our food and talked and caught up. There was this guy I can only assume he must've been a manager, he kept hovering over our table, making sure our drinks were filled even after we had got through eating and just kept hovering like he was waiting for us to leave. I looked around the restaurant and there were plenty of tables that were empty. So I don't understand why he was hovering over us and trying to rush us out of the restaurant. It was probably the worst experience I've ever had at this restaurant. I don't know if he was just racist or if he was just being an asshole, but either way if someone comes in to pay for a meal and is sitting down and talking in the restaurant isn't busy. I don't see why there's a reason for you to turn around and try and force people out. To say the whole experience turned me off and I will probably not go back to this restaurant for a while.

They serve nachos, quesadilla, salads, and bowls. and rice. Their breakfast menu includes breakfast tacos and burritos. The staff there was very friendly. The restaurant offers an assortment of margaritas, sangria and beer to go with your meal. Be sure to look out for their daily happy hour. They do not have table service, so you place your order at the counter and then they give you a buzzer that goes off when your food is ready. I ordered a steak taco, a brisket taco, and a beef taco. It took about 5 minutes for my food to be ready. My tacos were good. I really liked the brisket one the best, followed by steak. For those dining in, you will find 2 sauces on the tables: habanero and original. This is a fun, family friendly Mexican food joint that has a decent staff and good food. If you are in the area and looking for a place to get a quick bite to eat, this place deserves some serious consideration.

When we walked in, an older woman greeted us right away with the sweetest smile and seated us immediately. She ended up being our hostess and was so kind and attentive the whole time. The atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming. The menu isn't huge, but it has a good variety and the prices are very reasonable, especially for how much food you get. I'll admit I was a little unsure when I saw queso wasn't complimentary, because sometimes when you pay for it, it's not that great, can tell it's made with velveeta. But we ordered the large anyway and it was actually really good. The salsa was just right too, not too mild but not overly spicy. I ordered the enchilada platter and wasn't sure how I'd feel about the red sauce, so I also got a beef chimichanga on the side just in case I did not like the red sauce. Both were really good, and the chimichanga was way bigger than I expected, honestly a full meal by itself. My daughter got the Cowboy Quesadilla and said it was the best one she's had in a while. My husband ordered the steak fajitas and really liked them, his only comment was that the steak pieces were a little thin. Overall, everything was great. The food, the service, and just how genuinely kind our hostess was really stood out. We had a great experience and will definitely be coming back.

Service was quick on a Tuesday night! I like that this is one of the only places that really stays open a bit later on the weekdays. The complimentary chips with salsa and queso were... interesting. The chips themselves were good but the salsa and queso weren't the best. I ordered the enchiladas verdes as my main and this was pretty good! I always love having a huge side of refried beans. I ordered the strawberry Agua Fresca and was not expecting it to be the milky/creamy type of Agua Fresca. I was actually really disappointed that it tasted just like having strawberry Nesquik milk. I guess that's my fault for not asking more questions about it though! Overall, the people are nice and service was quick! The decor on the walls is really great also.

My meal, steak bites smothered in a sauce made with my favorite chili, "Chile de Arbol." was really tasty! 2. Nice to see every employee wearing A UNIFORM; simple for sure but COHESIVE. 3. My waiter spoke Spanish with me!! 4. Whatever the music it was THE BEST! Why, because it wasn't am annoying repetitive genre. It wasn't loud Mariachi. It was pleasant, yet culturally true. 5. The wait staff were older - not teen agers so they took their jobs seriously and the establishment then, cared more about hiring professionals vs cheap labor. The only thing i did not like had to do with the seating. The one big dining room was furnished with tables only; big long tables and wooden chairs. I wished there was an option of cozy booths or, big ficus trees or room dividing screens, or maybe creative drapes that would offer a bit of privacy and softness. Nonetheless the downside is minimal and sure wont stop me from returning soon!
