Great service, good food, clean, and nice environment. We grabbed dinner around 6pm and were seated right away. The staff were great and very nice. We ordered the enchiladas, the steak nachos, ground beef soft tacos, beef fajitas and the mango Lemonades and we left nothing behind. I think we were really hungry after hanging out at the mall and watching a movie! Everybody enjoyed their food and had no complaints!

We sat in the bar, but there was only 1 guy waiting on the tables so at first service was slow. Took about 20 mins for our drinks, but after that everything went great! The food was awesome! I got the taco salad and I will definitely go back for it again. They have a lot of good margarita options too!

The ambience is good and welcoming. They offer complimentary chips, which is a nice touch. The crispy chicken tacos and chicken quesadillas are a must-try—both are flavorful and well made. However, the fish tacos were not that tasty compared to the other options.

Overall, decent Tex-Mex food. My friend and I ordered fajitas; steak and shrimp, there is complimentary chips and salsa, and we ordered some queso on the side. Pretty good portion size, service was good and the place is nicely decorated showcasing some modern interior with a splash of Mexican culture. Overall, pretty good experience. Great for small or large groups. I would come back and try some more dishes. Till then, let’s eat!

Review for Uncle Julio’s: I recently visited Uncle Julio’s, and it turned out to be a delightful experience. The restaurant offers spacious seating, making it perfect for both small gatherings and larger groups. Their menu boasts a wide variety of Mexican dishes, catering to diverse tastes. Both the food and service were exceptional. The flavors were authentic, and the staff was attentive and friendly, enhancing the overall dining experience. I truly enjoyed my time there and am looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious Mexican cuisine in a comfortable setting!

I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. The entrees I've ordered have been good; however, when I've ordered side items, they have been disappointing. My last order was take out and I ordered chicken quesadillas, a small queso and an order of rice. The quesadillas were "okay", but not as flavorful as usual. The rice was completely bland without any seasoning, and the $9 small queso was a rip-off. The container was not even an inch deep, it wasn't filled and the dip was bland. If I return, it will be dine in only and I will not order any extra sides.

I’ve visited Uncle Julio’s in Florida before and liked the food, though the service wasn’t great. Still, I decided to give this place a try for Mexican food. I ordered the shrimp tacos, chicken tacos, and a chicken quesadilla. • The chicken tacos were really good and flavorful. • The shrimp tacos were okay, but if you’re Asian (or prefer shrimp fully cooked), make sure to clearly mention that while ordering. • The chicken quesadilla tasted great overall, but some parts were slightly burnt, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, the food had good flavor, but a little more attention to cooking consistency would have made the experience better.

For over 15 years, we have chosen this establishment for our Mother's Day celebrations, as it is our mother's favorite venue. This year, we selected a location known for its exceptional patio views. Regrettably, the quality of the food did not meet our expectations, particularly when compared to other locations we have frequented. While we anticipated slower service due to the high volume of patrons on Mother's Day, the overall dining experience fell short, as none of the dishes we ordered were satisfactory.

Service was slow, food was poor. Our server was nice, and friendly. But taking care of too many tables. She kept forgetting our request. The food was not as well prepared as other locations. Cold food, rice was either not cooked long enough or it was old and hard.

It’s been a long time since I’ve visited an Uncle Julio’s—and after this visit, it’ll probably be a while before I come back. This Frisco location is fairly new and the decor is beautiful, and to be fair, the service was solid. My review is strictly about the food, the menu changes, and the direction the corporation seems to be going. Years ago, Uncle Julio’s had an incredible menu. I used to visit almost weekly. But post-COVID, everything started changing—and not for the better. They removed their amazing nachos, only to bring them back with a new recipe that honestly tastes like cheap, generic nachos. Their queso recently changed as well, and it was pretty awful. It makes you wonder: if something was great and successful, why change it? Their fajitas are still decent, but at this point there are countless other restaurants using better quality ingredients and staying true to their original recipes. Overall, nice building, good service, but the food just isn’t what it used to be—and that’s the whole reason people go out to eat. Until the corporate team rethinks these menu changes, I don’t see myself returning. A restaurant in a busy area that’s almost empty by 8:30 pm on a weekend is a sign that something clearly isn’t working.

I've been to Uncle Julio's in Dallas and enjoyed it, so I was excited to treat my husband to lunch at this nearby location. I was extremely excited as I had bragged and boasted to my husband about the good food and drinks. I was quickly embarrassed that I lied. The host was very nice and pleasant upon entry and sat us quickly. Menus were sat on the table. As we settled in, I picked up the paper menu and noticed food and stains everywhere on the menu. I went to the hostess stand for a new menu, and she handed me another dirty paper menu; I informed her that it was okay and that I'd look it up online. Our server then came to take our drink order, where I ordered the mango margarita, and my husband ordered the watermelon with sugar. The server brought our drinks and left again. My margarita tasted like dish soap, but I did not complain; my husband, on the other hand, sent his back because it was so full of salt that it wasn't enjoyable. We then finally got a chance to order food. I ordered guacamole, which was good but not worth $9 for the small portion. I will say my bowl was terrific, but my husband's fish tacos were not. He stated that the fish was fishy and tasted like it was cooked in old grease. We ended up trashing his food at home. Overall, it was not a horrible experience, but it is not one that I will return to.

I was so exited for my meal from Uncle Julios! That excitement did not survive the drive home. When I opened the bag, I discovered I had paid $15 for two miniature tamales. Not tapas. Not a sampler. Just two tiny tamales living their best minimalist life. The meal was also supposed to come with beans and rice, but the beans apparently called in sick. Rice showed up alone. Pickup was equally impressive. The instructions said to go to the host stand, which I did. I then stood there long enough to reconsider several life choices. The phone started ringing so then the host finally appeared. He saw me and chose the phone. Lesson learned. If you want service here, call while staring directly at an employee. Right as I was about to leave, I checked the bag and realized an entire second meal was missing. I skipped the waiting, went straight to the kitchen where the missing meal was quickly thrown together like a last-minute science project. Credit where it’s due, but at that point the bar was underground. Based on my experience and the recent reviews, this location is clearly in a downward spiral. Management seems either overwhelmed, absent, or actively avoiding eye contact. Do yourself a favor and drive a few minutes down the road to Hacienda Ranch. They are always ready, always smiling, and always capable of handing you the food you actually ordered. Delicious food. No scavenger hunt required. Also- I already filled out a review in response to an email they sent me after my order. I told them about My disappointment and their response was basically sorry we gave you so little food but hopefully the three bites you got were delicious. Hope you come again soon to give us more of your money. Have a good day.

The Carnita tacos were dry. Enchiladas Rojas had a peculiar taste not sure what kind of meat it was made of, and the quesarollas were made with flour tortillas when corn tortillas were requested. No one finished their plates. Chips, salsa and beverages were good. We were here to celebrate my sisters birthday, I feel bad that no one enjoyed their meal 9

I redid my review and knocked it down to one star. This place is a JOKE. I ate at the bar and the bartender ( who had bad BO) was slow and lazy. I never got any chips or salsa and all around me there were dirty tables. Do they not have busboys ? I didn’t get chips until my guacamole came and I told the waitress who brought them I didn’t have chips. Never got salsa. The chicken enchiladas were meh. I was there almost an hour and a HALF. Just to pay my bill took 15 MINUTES! Is there anyone managing this restaurant!? Ok food. Mia Cocina has my favorite fajitas so I decided to see if Uncle Julio’s was better. Overall, no. The meat was on the chewy side and the onions and peppers weren’t completely cooked. That said, I preferred Uncle Julio’s chips and salsa over Mia Cocina. Lastly, Mia Cocina had much friendlier and attentive staff.

This used to be one of our go to places. We had a group of 6 last night and excited to hang out, catch up with h some good drinks and food. Unfortunately, from the waitress that rarely came to our table to the changes to the hot sauce, everyone at the table was very disappointed in our experience.
