Great atmosphere! Mayra was excellent! Drink got refilled. Not rushed. Positive attitude and attentive! We shared combo fajitas, queso, and churros! Highly recommended.

Visited on a super busy Saturday. We skipped waiting an hour for a table in the dining room and snagged one in the bar area. After bussing our own table, our waiter finally arrived and all was good after that! I wish I caught his name because he was the hardest working person on staff that night (2/22/25). He bussed, grabbed waters and chips for multiple tables, took our orders (which came out so quickly), and smiled the whole time. The food was fabulous! I went simple with the shrimp salad, but those may have been the best shrimp I've ever eaten. The salsa was off the charts tasty. I've never seen entire bar covered with dirty dishes on a Saturday night with a lobby full of people looking to enjoy themselves. The chaos happening didn't appeal to me, but I'd come back if our waiter was there!!

Dined here for a work lunch with supervisor and peers. The chips and salsa were both fresh. I ordered the taco salad with fajita steak. It was very good. Seasoned well with a hearty helping of avocado and sour cream. Our waiter was attentive and polite. The host and the manager had great interpersonal skills.

Today we did delivery for lunch for 7 people. Everything was packaged well, and arrived without any food items moved or mixed during delivery. Food was still warm, had great presentation and food arrived warm. I ordered the Chicken Quesadillas, they were very good, chicken was moist and not overcooked. This location is great and have always had a great experience here whether delivery or dine in. We decided to go here today to dine in for 4 people. We went at lunch time, got right in and seated. Waited came by within a couple minutes and took our drink order. 2 people ordered from the lunch menu, the 2 others ordered from the regular menu. I ordered the combo fajitas, beef and chicken. They kept us stocked up on chips and salsa before our food arrived. From the time in the door and to get our food was pretty quick, about 16 minutes. All food arrived hot with great presentation and taste. Everything was as ordered. Our waiter did not let our cups get half empty, he was on it. The manager on duty also stopped by our table to make sure everything was good. Everyone enjoyed their lunch and eat too much, no left overs taken from this lunch. Great food that you can get from most Uncle Julio’s, so it’s pretty much the customer service that separates them, and this one is one of the best customer experience that I have had! A++ Uncle Julio’s!

Uncle Julio’s is consistently a solid choice for Mexican food in Dallas, especially when you’re looking for a reliable spot that delivers on both flavor and atmosphere. The fajitas are a standout and easily one of the best items on the menu. They arrive sizzling, well-seasoned, and cooked just right, with generous portions that make them perfect for sharing—or not. Whether you go with steak, chicken, or shrimp, they’re consistently satisfying and a big reason this location keeps people coming back. The drinks are another strong point. Margaritas are well made, balanced, and not overly sweet, which makes them easy to enjoy more than one. The bar program feels polished without being pretentious, and it pairs nicely with the bold flavors coming out of the kitchen. The Lemmon Avenue location has a lively but comfortable vibe—ideal for business lunches, casual dinners, or meeting friends. Service is typically attentive and efficient, even during busy times, which adds to its reputation as a dependable go-to spot. Overall: Uncle Julio’s on Lemmon Avenue earns its reputation as a Dallas staple. Great fajitas, solid cocktails, and consistent execution make it a place you can confidently recommend and return to again and again. 🌮🍹

The sizzling fajitas and their signature Swirl margarita hit the spot, and the fresh chips and warm tortillas were great. Service was friendly but uneven, with a long wait and a noisy dining room that made conversation tough. Prices creep up for what you get, but portions are generous, good for a casual group night if you’re not in a hurry.

Came for an early dinner and it’s been quiet, like this slow and the service is not bad. Highly recommend the Ceviche w Shrimp and cod, it’s really great 👍 If you like sour taste, definitely that would be the must try!! First time try watermelon Margaret Cocktails, it’s just so so but not regret to order it , at least it looks good loll. Still like Patron Margarita better but it looks not pretty 😂 BTW, plenty of parking lots makes it easier for getting, will be back soon

This Uncle Julio's location was overall solid and a pleasant Thursday dinner. They were very understaffed this day so we chose to sit at the bar, where the service was excellent. Drinks and food came quickly and were tasty. My main gripe is the increase in prices and smaller portions across recent Uncle Julio's trips. Good food, a bit hard to validate price wise.

My uncle and I came here for lunch. We both had the chicken enchiladas. We thought the entrees were delicious. The service of the staff was great. We may come back again.

I have been to the establishment a few times and I will have to say this is the first time I walked away utterly disappointed in the food. I ordered the queso, and guacamole for appetizers. The guac had I could tell all fresh ingredients but there was absolutely no salt or lime added to the guacamole so it was quite bland with huge chunks of vegetables. The queso was very salty. We were given a bowl of chips that was very greasy. We later realized that the same grease they fried the chips in was the same old grease they fried the churros that we ordered for my cousin bday dessert. They were terrible. Greasy and could smell the grease on the churros. For my main dish, I ordered their version of a chimichanga. It was 3 small/medium chimis , drowned in a bowl of chilli con carne and then drizzled with some kind of overly limey tasting sauce. It was terrible. So limey that I couldnt even eat it. Had two bites and that was all I could eat . when my cousin mentioned to our waitress that the chips and churros are greasy and had been fried in old grease that you could taste and smell and needs to be changed she quickly agrees and says she will mention it to the cooks but she never went to the kitchen or to notify a manager. I probably won’t go back to eat, but I will go for a cocktail. Bartender did a good job on our cocktails.

The food was very good, I had queso, guacamole, barbacoa fajitas. Everything tasted great the food was awesome. But then 4 hours later I felt an uneasy feeling in my chest and rapid heart rate. That's when I realized I have ingested MSG, I will never eat at this place again. If your sensitive to the effects of MSG don't eat at this location.

Bartender sent a "frozen" swirl margarita to the table that was already 90% melted. That means it had been sitting behind the bar for a significant amount of time.

TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!! We went there today (2/15/26) at 3pm. It took them literally 55 minutes to bring one drink from the bar. My glass of water was never refilled by our waitress. I had to go get the manager for a refill for my water and that still was my last glass. Their tortillas are very small now, I have been coming here for years, so I know what they use to look like. We ordered chicken and beef fajitas for two and got 3 tortillas! …we also got “set up” for one. The “bowl” of queso was $12 and looks like a “cup”. This place has changed over the years, kinda sad what’s happening to the service industry. Everything is over priced and now you get tiny portions.

So I went for lunch and sat at the bar. Took a long time to greet me and take my order. When I finally put my order in to the waitress it took almost 30 minutes for my food to come out for the “lunch special”of 2 fish tacos nothing complicated. The restaurant wasn’t even busy at all , very few guests. Just very disappointed at the overall welcoming of the staff and the wait time for my food. Should not have taken that long for a very simple order.

I’m giving this location one star based on how my friend was treated tonight. My friend ordered the bacon-wrapped shrimp, which clearly stated on the menu that it included cheese inside. When her food arrived, there was no cheese. She politely brought it to the waitress’s attention and respectfully asked to speak with a manager. The manager, John Eastwood, approached the table but did not introduce himself. Instead of calmly addressing the concern, he immediately began arguing with my friend and even put his hands in her food while saying, “Do you want something else? Because you’re not getting the same thing again.” He never introduced himself, never apologized, and made no real effort to correct the issue. To make matters worse, he slammed her plate down on the table. Everyone at our table was shocked and uncomfortable watching how the situation was handled. As a manager, professionalism and customer service should come first, regardless of stress or personal matters. His attitude and behavior were completely unacceptable. There was no apology from him at any point. However, I do want to acknowledge that our waitress returned to the table and genuinely tried to make things right, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the manager’s conduct overshadowed the entire dining experience.

Just happened. Happy Hour is 3-6pm. It’s 5:24pm at current time but legally speaking we didn’t TIP what we normally would have for a reason. You can fill in the rest. The experience made me feel bad. I couldn’t tell anyone to visit.

Gerardo Marquez

Terrible. This is not the same Uncle Julio’s that existed years ago. I know times change and new people take over but man, this place has completely gone downhill. The fajitas had a plastic taste to them, almost as if they were reheated in the microwave - the rice, ok - used to be the best, and the charro beans tasted as if they were coming straight out of the can. There’s nothing I dislike more than spending money on food that taste horrible. This experience made me think we could’ve gotten better tasting food at the Taco Cabana down the street. The execs need to stop cutting corners, bring back the high quality ingredients. Such a shame.

J Simms

When we arrived, it looked nice not too packed... broken pieces of chips were brought out, along with salsa that looked used. I ordered a watermelon margarita and it was not good... watered down alcohol and pieces of watermelon and seeds that kept getting stuck in the straw... it didn't even have watermelon flavor... then we ordered the fajitas for two... I'm so mad that all of the food was bland! The rice was not good and looked old... for the price we paid, it was nasty! Fire those cooks and get better ones!!!
