This is a solid Tex-Mex restaurant! Food is very good and full of flavors you want! Not greasy or oily if fried, not swimming in sauce either. All the dishes our party ordered were great! The guacamole made fresh at the table is always a nice touch. Any thing that comes with Habenaro Pineapple salsa, get it! So good! El Jefe margarita is the only way to go! Delicious! Will for sure make this a stop when I am in the area again. Check it out and don't fill up on chips.

We’ve dined at Uncle Julio’s for dinner within the past year and the food was great, however this evening was a different experience. We arrived between 5:30-6:00 pm. The dining area was not crowded and we were immediately seated. The hostess was very nice and friendly and made us feel welcome. Once seated, it took 10-15 min for the server to arrive to take our drink order. While waiting for the server to return, we began to smell something weird - like sewage. Not sure where it was coming from and he had no idea either. We ordered enchiladas, chicken fajitas with Mexican rice and a margarita trio flight. The enchiladas were good but the chicken was dry and bland. I reordered the same dish and it was no different. The server apologized and removed the items from our ticket. Needless to say, we will not be returning.

April 12, 2025 ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ Had a nice dinner at Uncle Julio’s in Allen with my wife, where we shared the Beef Skirt Steak fajitas 🥩🌮. The flavor was absolutely amazing — from the sizzling fajita meat to the fresh salsa 🍅🌶️. The prices were fair for what we got, and overall, we really enjoyed the meal. That said, our server was very slow 🕰️. We had to ask for refills and even some of the basics that normally come without needing a reminder. It was a bit frustrating, especially since the restaurant wasn’t that busy. Another thing that stood out was the sign outside. It didn’t even read “Uncle Julio’s” — the missing letters made it say “Uncle Ju” instead 😕 (check out my pics for reference). On top of that, the bottom of the N was lit up in red neon instead of the standard pink 🌈. It might seem minor, but a business’s presentation matters. When a place lets something as visible and basic as its signage go uncared for, it reflects on the leadership and attention to detail 🤔. If they let the visible things go what about the things we can’t see? Great food, but I’d recommend they improve on service speed and stay on top of the little things — like keeping their sign in working order — to make the full experience match the quality of the kitchen.

Firstly, it took us 30 minutes to be seated and there were plenty of vacant tables available, so I suppose that they may have been short staffed once seated our waiter was very courteous, but was often forgetful or slow as well. The food was actually taste. Really enjoyed myvodka base drink, but most of all enjoyed the salsa and the beans were everything

Eaten here a few times previously and it was fine. Not amazing but fine. This time, everything was pretty bland and lacked flavor. The rice needed more cilantro/lime flavor and the steak was bland. I feel like the price is pretty high for food that’s not above a 3 out of 5. Most likely won’t be back.

When I walked in to pick up my order for $60, I stood there for 10 minutes and finally had to hunt someone out of the kitchen to get my to go order. When they brought it out and we got home there were no tortillas and no rice and beans that we ordered with our fajitas. The ticket even says rice and beans taped to the bag. We kept trying to call but the phone number just hangs up on you. So my husband drove back up there. Ridiculous. Ever since moving to Allen, we have yet to have one place get an order correct, except Whataburger on Stacy Road. That’s really sad. Please do better. People spend their hard earned money at your business.

The service was great but the food not much at all. We end up, leaving our plates because the Birria tacos were nasty and burnt. They had no taste at all.

This was an extremely frustrating pickup experience. I placed a to-go order, arrived, and was directed to the pickup area — where no one acknowledged me for several minutes. I returned to the hostess stand and was told someone would help me, yet I continued to be ignored. Another guest arrived after me, was immediately acknowledged, had their name taken, and received their food right away. I was still standing there unnoticed. When I was finally acknowledged, I gave my name and had to wait again, even though my food should have already been ready. The restaurant was nearly empty, staff were standing around, and I was on a tight schedule. This level of disregard is unacceptable.

Ok so its nice on the inside, they first seated us by the bathroom that smells like sewage then at a both that had a big puddle under it. Then brought chips n salsa, salsa not very good. Not authentic Mexican food. I got the queso birria just don't order it not tasty and it comes with very bland coleslaw of all things. My daughter decide to try i think like a chimichanga but whatever it was it was made with egg roll wrap. So needless to say it was all disappointing and we will not go back, and it is very high price and not authentic. It is a mexican restraunt for people who don't know better. Our server was good.

Was very disappointed in my lunchtime visit to this location. When the tortilla soup showed up immediately, noticed there were about 5 to 6 pieces of chicken in the entire bowl. Going further, the soup was very bland lacking any kind of seasoning. And the top it off, it was only lukewarm. Onto the combo, while the basic flavors were there due to the tomatillo sauce, it also lacked any kind of salt and pepper seasoning. And to continue the trend, the food was also lukewarm. And what made it even more disappointing, after speaking to two of the employees about it, and being told, the manager would be told and asked to come to my table, manager couldn’t find any time to show up.

David Jennings

We dined in the restaurant last night and upon arrival we were told that the wait time was 30-45 minutes due to the restaurant only having four servers. We finally were seated and after we ordered food we had table side guacamole and the preparer of the food was the bus boy who was cleaning tables. That should have been the clue to leave. Two tables that were seated after us were served their food before us. We ordered the honey shrimp and bacon wrapped and the bacon was under cooked. I ordered steak quesadillas and the portions of steak were almost nonexistent. We were very disappointed with our decision to eat there. I would not recommend this location for dining.

This was easily one of the worst restaurant experiences I’ve had in years, and unfortunately, it had nothing to do with the food itself. The service was extremely poor. Our waiter appeared to be very new and clearly unfamiliar with the menu. I don’t understand why someone with no real training would be left alone to take orders without proper support. Because of this, our experience completely fell apart. We never received our full meal. I managed to eat some fajitas, but the tortillas never came back after the first round. Basic follow-up was missing entirely. The spicy salsa was bland and oddly sour. The restaurant itself felt neglected. It needs cleaning, better organization, and significantly better staff training. Management clearly needs to step in. This was our first visit, and it will also be our last. I won’t be returning.

Disappointed in Cleanliness We are normally big fans of Chewy’s, but decided to try Uncle Julio’s for lunch today. When we walked into the lobby, we noticed the air vents near the entrance had visible dirt buildup, which immediately made us question the overall air quality. Because it was such a beautiful day, we chose to sit on the patio. Our waitress was fantastic — very attentive, friendly, and quick with chips and salsa. She did a great job. Unfortunately, the cleanliness issues continued. I had already finished one glass of tea and was halfway through my second before I noticed how dirty the glass was — the inside of the glass was visibly filthy. Not fingerprints on the outside, but buildup inside the glass itself. I even wiped a smudge away with my finger. It was clearly not properly cleaned. That completely turned us off and we lost our appetite halfway through the meal. We asked to speak with the manager to show him the glasses. He apologized and said he appreciated us letting him know, but the response felt less than sincere. The food was okay. The service from our waitress was great. But cleanliness is non-negotiable for us. Based on this experience, we won’t be returning.

Ordered to-go online directly from the Uncle Julio’s website at 5:00PM. Confirmation e-mail said pick-up would be ready at 5:25PM. Walked in at 5:25 and spoke with the hostess who said she would be right back. After 3-4 minutes she came back and asked if the order could be under a different name. I showed her my confirmation e-mail and she left again. A few minutes later another employee said they were bagging up my order. 15 minutes later my order was brought to me. 25 minutes late, 1 hour after ordering. Too busy could not be the excuse because since I had extra time waiting I counted the customers in the restaurant and there were a whole 16 people dining, When I got my order to my destination they had not given me the rice and beans that are included with the meal. My destination is only a five minute drive from the restaurant and sadly the fajita meat was cold. Needless to say my family and I will no longer dine from this restaurant.

Debbie Aschenbrenner

TRIED to eat here tonight. As we were ordering a big old rat was running round the dining room. It was very comfortable and had been there for awhile. We told the waitress. She said she would get the manager...after several minutes manager never came. We went elswhere..

Nathan Ziehm

My wife and I have been going here for 5 years together, but tonight was the last time. It was one of our favorite places to go and now the food and service have really declined. We went tonight again hoping it would have gotten better and the service was the worst its ever been. The food portions are smaller the menu is smaller. Sorry to say everyone, but of you want to wait an hour for your food then go somewhere else. Pappasitos is way better. Try that instead.

Food quality was bad. Rice was very undercooked! No body could eat it. Churros were too oily and had a white cream inside them with a weird taste. Everybody tasted and rejected. Fajita did not come with Tortilla! They forgot it. I called them and spoke with the manager and he said the best they can do is refund for guacamole - which has nothing to do with the Fajita dish. (It surely costs less for them to refund for guac). Won’t be back.

Derica Lovie Minter

I am absolutely dismayed by the decline in Uncle Julio's standards. My husband and I have been loyal patrons since the 90's, but the recent experiences have been consistently disappointing. The cleanliness and food quality have not met our expectations. Today's meal was not up to par, and we noticed five tables that remained dirty for the duration of our hour and a half long visit. Despite hoping for improvement, it seems that the issues persist. The only positive aspect of our visit was our waiter, Koen, who demonstrated exceptional professionalism and kindness. Unfortunately, this will be our last visit. It's evident that the restaurant is no longer the same.
