One of our most favorite Mexican restaurants in North Texas! Love the soft serve margaritas and the chicken dish is always a treat that we order. Grilled to perfection with the light floor of smoky misquote wood read more

I reserved a table for 15 at this restaurant to have dinner and celebrate my son's high school graduation. The entire experience from getting our drink orders placed to receiving our food was the worst restaurant experience of my life. I'll leave it at that to keep this review short, but I have to give props to the new manager Kenny. I spoke with him about everything and he went above and beyond to make things right. He's the only reason I'm providing the extra Star, so another huge thank you to Kenny. Apparently this place has some work to do, so until improvements are made, I'd avoid dining here. **I've included a photo of one of my son's tacos. Yes, it was delivered to the table exactly like that. read more

Uncle Julio's Allen - Where's the rest of the meat? Not to mention the cheese and lettuce.... - Mexican Near Me - Allen, Texas

2nd time in 4 years we've come in on a non busy weekday and have NO server come to our table for 10 minutes...we left then and we just left now. Will not be back. I see why it wasn't crowded on a Taco Tuesday. At the very least one of the three waiters that passed our table tonight could have acknowledged us, but nope. read more

Food and drinks were great. Service was good but SLOW. I really enjoyed the taco bar Tuesday. Both protein choices were delicious and the chipotle crema added great flavor. I also enjoyed the soft serve margarita, but the amount was slightly overwhelming. Overall, all really good. read more

Food was delicious. Service was great. And they were very welcoming to our large party of 20 at opening time.

The food service and ambience was all great. Our last visit at uncle Julio's was not good. We went back today because we didn't have a choice, but we were pleasantly surprised. The food was back to what it used to be. They have a new manager, who is really trying to make changes and it's bringing back everything that used to work including quality meats and original recipes. Will definitely go back! read more

They changed up their entire menu and it hasn't been the same since. I go somewhere else now. Got rid of so much that we liked. Just not the same and it is sad as we went there 3 times a month. read more

Out for lunch and decided to splurge on this restaurant. Usually just fast food when out doing errands. Great experience with service and food. Much differently prepared items than what we get a typical Tex-Mex type restaurant. Not too many present for weekday lunch but more came during the hour. Worth another visit sooner than later. read more

I visited the restaurant today and the service was the worse they I have ever gotten. I ordered nachos and a quesadilla and it took over 30 minutes. It was so bad that another patron, who was an 80 year old white lady, came over to me and said it was unacceptable the way I was being treated because I was a black patron. She said she got there after I did and got her food and was almost done while I still waited. I told her thanks for the observation and that was very kind for her and I take up for me but I would be taking my business elsewhere and not visiting there again. read more

Came here for dinner with my family and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment. The ambiance was warm and inviting, the service was attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and full of flavor. My boyfriend is a bit of a Birria Taco connoisseur, and he said these were some of the best he's ever had. It was perfectly juicy and packed with flavor. I ordered the pulled chicken bowl, and it did not disappoint. The chicken was well-seasoned, and all the ingredients worked together beautifully to create a flavorful, satisfying dish. Highly recommend giving this spot a try because you won't be disappointed! read more

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. read more

The food was good, not outstanding. Jayden the waiter was outstanding. He was very personable and easy to relate to.

The tamale, chips & salsa were excellent. The rice was not good, tasted like it was from a box. Charro beans had a good flavor, but were not cooked well, they were very hard. I would come back but not get the rice read more

Had a great meal at Uncle Julio's! We ordered the Queso Birria Tacos and the Guadalajara, which comes with bacon-wrapped shrimp stuffed with Monterey Jack and grilled over mesquite. Our server was great and gave us some awesome recommendations. It's always nice when the staff actually seems to care about your experience. We spent around $100, which included two margaritas each. Not the cheapest meal, but for the food, drinks, and service, it felt worth it. Overall, really enjoyed it! Good food, good drinks, and a nice vibe. Would definitely go back. 4.5/5 stars. read more

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. read more

Uncle Julio's Allen - Mexican Near Me - Allen, Texas

Shocked at how bad this place is compared to the location in North Dallas. Fajita beef tasted off, drinks and salsa took forever to get refilled, had to look around for our server. Our server was slammed and I was shocked that the manager did nit come help her or send someone else to help. Noticed him hanging out at the hostess stand instead. From the service, time it takes to get food and drinks and the quality of the food - definitely won't be trying this location again. Go to the Keller Springs location instead read more

I love uncle Julio's !! My family and I have been coming for years and this location has always provided such excellent service even when busy. There's plenty of delicious drinks, appetizers, and for me, vegetarian options. My go to is the cheese enchiladas and I usually sub the sauce since it automatically comes with a chile meat sauce since this is tex mex! They have great queso both the regular and queso blanco. I recently tried the mushroom quesadillas and they were also fantastic. They also have an entertaining and cute piñata dessert which you crack open, revealing delicious fruits and churros, so that's worth a treat and perfect for sharing! read more

Went in on a Thursday about 1:45. We're told they have no booths available when the restaurant was hardly busy... with two small children that was kinda annoying. Service was prompt and our waitress was super nice. I had a salad and my husband had a cauliflower bowl everything tasted over all pretty good. Bathrooms were clean, but there were doing some construction I believe? And there was a super high pitched grinding noise which was super annoying. read more

Fresh authentic Mexican cuisine! The atmosphere is beautiful and delicious! After a long day at work, my server Adam, was exactly what I needed. He took care of my every need, and I never had to ask for anything...his recommendations were on point! My margarita by Misael at the bar was "perfection X 10!!! When the kind and professional manager, Wilmer, came by to ask about my satisfaction, I bent his ear with happiness and praise. This team was fabulous!! Thanks so much...I will be back with friends soon! read more

Went to eat this Tex Mex when in Dallas. Pretty late and they didn't make us feel rushed. I ate about 1000 fresh hot chips and the salsa was next level. I ordered the fajita trio by recommendation of the nice blonde waitress. The shrimp had drawn butter, the steak and chicken were delightful. That southern hospitality is a real thing. I'll be back read more

Arrived around 9:20PM on Saturday night, and it was not busy. Service was terrible even though waiter seemed to only have two tables. Missing silverware, missing part of a dish, ordered a 2nd margarita that never arrived. The chips were crushed, and the food was disappointing. read more

We've been to this Uncle Julio's previously. It felt like it's changed. The food was good, not great. The serving sizes felt smaller for the price, and the dessert piñata was less full than last year. We checked our pictures. Having said that, our server was fabulous and the food came fast. We will try again somewhere down the road. read more

Terrible service at the bar, lunchtime Thursday . I was very disappointed w the service. [His name starts with a H] will not be back at this location.... read more

Loved the barbacoa beef fajitas!! The meat was seasoned perfectly and it came with zucchini that was cooked just right. Service was fast and the bartenders were kind. Prices were a little steep, but the restaurant had great vibes. read more

really great experience! Joshua, our server was amazing. Gave us the best recommendations and overall amazing and excellent customer service. read more

Uncle Julio's used to be our go to when we come to DFW since we don't have one any more in the Austin area. I was so dissatisfied and disappointed today. I got, what I thought was my go to, delicious cheese and onion enchiladas with chili con carne. They tasted like frozen TV dinner ones. The rice was mushy, refried beans tasted weird and unusually sour. I don't know what happened but we will probably not make a special trip here again read more

We had a wonderful experience! Highly recommend making a reservation on busy weekends. My margarita was delicious and we enjoyed every meal item. Our waiter was the incredible and I have to say some of the best service I've received in a long time. Will absolutely be back again soon. read more

Uncle Julio's used to be the go-to spot for my family. Tonight, we did not have a good experience. The menu had been reduced significantly with some of our favorite items gone. So, 3 members of the family decided to get beef fajitas. When they arrived, they smelled bad and no one liked how they tasted. We suspected it was the marinade and when we asked the manager, she said it was soy sauce! At a Mexican restaurant? Never heard of fajitas marinated in soy sauce, so that was a big no from us. Thankfully, she offered to switch them out for chicken fajitas, which arrived quickly and were hot and tasty. The service and accommodation were very good, but the food has suffered since they were bought out a year ago. I hope they consider improving the beef fajitas recipe to align with traditional Mexican flavors. read more

The only thing on point was the table side guacamole ! The close at 10:45 but apparently start shutting down at 8:00 ! No refried beans, rice cold, shrimp fajitas for 2 not sizzling & served with 3 corn tortillas! Soooo again this was shrimp fajitas for TWO ! The guacamole that comes on the side was not fresh ! The rice came out last because we were told it was being prepared so why cold ! The server gave us some pinto beans & black beans in place of the refried beans. The oil that the black beans were cooked in appears to have separated from the beans. Idk but i live down the street and have patronized this location since my kids were little & they are all grown now ! I'll go to Dallas next time ! Oh let's not forget the MOLD on each HVAC VENT !!! Do better ! read more

Food was cold service was bad the restaurant was filthy. There are booths with ledges to the side. The ledges were dusty with dead insects. This Allen location was in bad shape.

Delicious food and excellent service. We went here for a team lunch and were able to communicate with one another even though it was really crowded. The food was very good.
