Exceptional!! I grabbed dinner with some colleagues while traveling through Fort Worth and have heard great things about these joints. It did not disappoint. We started with some of the yummy, smoky salsa which is incredible and also had the fresh guacamole and cheese dip for starters. Both were very good. One of the people at the table needed gluten friendly options, and the manager was very friendly and took the time to review the best options for her. For dinner I had the chicken fajitas!! They were amazing. Cooked just right with the right amount of char and flavoring. The others at the table had the steak tacos and the combination fajitas, and they said the dishes were very good as well. Pedro provided us with great, friendly and fast service. This is a Texas institution and you need to get here soon, friend. I can’t wait to go back one day.

It’s been over 15 years since we last ate here. We moved out of town but were visiting family and decided to come back. The place was remodeled and very nice. The food was great and the server was very friendly. I had to take away 1 star because it took so long for our meal to come out. We were a group of 9 and we had fajitas, chimichangas, tacos, queso, enchiladas, etc. With the exception of the Spanish rice, everything was good. The Spanish rice was too dry. The place was very busy so maybe the kitchen was understaffed to keep up with the volume at the time. Not sure. The only other minor complaint is that it was very loud. If you are hard of hearing, it’s difficult to hear conversations because the background noise is so high. They do take reservations so thank you for that!

This was my first time at Uncle Julio’s. It was good, I had the ground beef el dorado tacos. They were okay, but the beef could have been seasoned better. There wasn’t much flavor. The hot sauce was really good though. The beans were fresh as well. My friend got the chicken and steak fajita, he loved it. It’s a little on the pricey side, but for the amount of food you get, it’s worth it. It comes with guacamole, cheese, onions, peppers, rice, beans, and warmed tortillas in their own container. Chips and salsa were delicious. The salsa is definitely home made. Next time I’ll have to try the fajita!

I hadn't been here in a while, but glad we stopped by again. Be sure to make a reservation because the place is always hopping, especially on the weekends. Very good margaritas for a reasonable price, pretty good tex mex. I had the nachos and they were on point, service was really good. I wish they had more parking, but not much they can do about that. Looking forward to going again.

They have packed so many tables so close together that you can't even have a conversation with anyone at your table. I watched so many employees dodge each other and run into each other because there's no room to walk due to so many tables. We had ordered the fajitas and the chicken was not to bad. The beef had little to no flavor and tasted like it was boiled then charred on the grill for the marks. Im sad because this place use to be so great and we probably will not be returning here. If you want good tex mex food I would suggest lupe tortilla. If your looking for a place to have a couple drinks the bar area is much quieter and the mojitos are something to try.

We had a large group of 8 seated around other large groups so the noise is very loud. We were seated promptly at our reservation time of 6:30. I ordered a small queso for my wife and I and this took an hour to receive. The server blamed the kitchen being slow. When she did bring it out we had no chips left and I had to ask for more chips to go with the queso which was very bland nothing like the description on menu. Then we thought our main food entrees were coming but they only delivered one fajita and gave us rice and beans for the fajitas we hadn’t even been served yet. Turns out the one plate of food was for the table behind us and so was the rice and beans. 20 minutes later we asked server to take away the rice and beans and bring us new ones when our food was actually served. 1.5 hours later the food is delivered we had several combo fajitas and we’re only given sour cream and cheese. The server said the kitchen rain out of guacamole and lettuce and pico. The rice and beans were cold of course. The fajitas were good just no sides to build it properly. The manager did take some items off the bill and gave us a gift card for next time. But I don’t think a Mexican restaurant in Ft worth that can’t provide the basics , no guacamole or pico is unacceptable for a check over 300$. I’ll update if we go back. But there’s so many better options for Mexican food in Ft worth that gift cards may not even be worth this experience.

DO NOT EAT HERE! The host was a younger Caucasian gentleman. He was extremely rude and disrespectful. He had us waiting for 40+ mins when he said the wait was 20 mins. When we asked when our table would be ready he said I called your name which is a lie because we had been waiting in the waiting room the entire time. He wouldn’t serve us. If you’re a POC DO NOT go here. You are not welcome. The host should not be working at the front if he can’t even have basic manners.

I had a kind request for my waitress and it was to please not touch in your hair because your handling food and drinks. Next thing I know, there is a male waiter who takes over and it was never explained to us. Then another waitress walks by and she's giving the look, so I spoke at a volume where I acknowledged her and she was aware that I saw her giving me the side eye. The service along with the wait time to receive our food was horrible. Needless to say, we will never waste our time nor money on this place again.

Seated quickly for 6PM on Sunday, took about 8 minutes for a server to come to our table go ask about drinks, were told they are out of Steak 😳😳 so had to revise my selection, food was slow, 2 servers came to our table with food that was not our order, 3rd time was our food but it was barely above room temperature. Husband asked for water with margarita and never received it. Too many options for good food and service to come back here. Still loud inside but no different than other restaurants these days.

no white queso = no reason to go here any longer. value has been lacking for a while but since the re-opening it seems like prices are up slightly and value is just not there compared to other tex-mex places. Dinner quesadillas not coming with rice and beans is another major ding. Other restaurants do include them, and for less overall cost. Too bad, as there was a time that this was one of my favorite places to get lunch.
