Gaby was amazing and our food came out fast and tasted amazing would highly recommend Uncle Julio's and Gaby as your server

Ask for Gloria! She'll take good care of you! We love both her and the manager. They always go above and beyond.

Gabby is a great waitress and did a very good job. When we came in, it seemed very short staffed and Gabby was hustling big time

Thank you Stephanie. 1000 stars if they had it. Seems these days customer service has become a lost art. Thank you for your attentiveness. You can pick my meal any time. I hope to see you again. read more

Uncle Julio's used to be a fan favorite, but my recent visit was a big disappointment. The restaurant was nearly empty, and after tasting the food, it was easy to see why. I ordered Roberto's Combo Plate (seasoned beef enchilada, crispy beer taco, and pork tamale with salsa carne) and the Chicken Fajitas with rice and beans. The chicken was cut in big, bulky pieces, and honestly, everything tasted like it had been microwaved rather than freshly prepared. Nothing was bad enough to be disgusting, but nothing was memorable either. Food was very mid for the prices charged. I definitely won't be coming back. To each their own, but this once-favorite spot has lost its spark. read more

Horrible experience. Anna was the worst server. Rude and not pleasant . It was lunch, empty and we had a party of 10. Be aware they do not offer happy hour only if sitting at the bar. We asked if we can open a tab at the bar and Anna got the manager. I would never give pushback to any waiter handling my food. The question didn't warrant the manager. Then from there the manager was extremely rude. Anna took 20 min to bring our drinks- mind you noone is at the bar. Food wasn't bad hence why I still gave a star. Anna never came to the table to offer refills, bring our to go box, accommodate a to go order. There was another waitress who was personable and helped. Stay away! Don't bring guest from out of town here! read more

I got an appetizer of nachos. And this thing a whole meal. I literally fell asleep after I got done eating. Was not prepared for the load. And didn't need that extra rice at all. read more

I have usually loved the steak fajitas from here, but this time I got them there were not good. They are usually consisted, but mine was chewy and burnt. I ordered them on uber for delivery. The color of the fajita meat was char not enjoyable. I received a little bit of cheese which was covered by the sour cream on top. I didn't receive any pico de gallo or lettuce. I don't know if they were very busy and they were rushing because it was lunchtime , but I had a very disappointing meal. read more

Glo 5 stars.......she is fabulous!! Great service as always very attentive.... very personable!! we're celebrating my wife's birthday and in Glo made it just that much special. read more

Oh Uncle Julio's where have you gone! Went for the first time in awhile we waited over 40 minutes on a table then got to our table and still waited about 15 minutes! However our waitress was the highlight of the experience! The manager also did a nice job pulling up my rewards from an email! This was on a Friday night! The kitchen literally took almost 50 minutes to get our fajitas for 2 out! You would think this would be an easy meal! The rice is still not good the beans are still just ok! They are very expensive and the quality is just not there! The wait for the food is totally unacceptable! I hope they do better! Happy Eating everyone! read more

Happy hour was awesome! Gaby was an amazing bartender. The Tres Amigos were wonderful and the Taco Tuesday dinner special was so big that we took half of it home. Definitely will be coming back ! read more

Excellent hot traditional Mexican plates served up super fresh. Wouldn't be the same without Gabi as my server- excellente! And her manager Janae was excellent also! The theme is excellente!! read more

Food is terrible. They forgot rice and tortillas in the fajita meal. The queso was cold. It took them too long to make my order that was ordered ahead of time. read more

Sadly, we just ate our last meal here and will not return. I was willing to give it another chance since the food is good. But...the food was not good and very disappointing. No freshly made tortillas because the "machine is broken". The queso changed and so did the enchiladas. Things we all used to look forward to eating. Now the service and food is bad so there's no reason to return. Too many other great Mexican food places that make me happy. Adios! read more

We hadn't been to Uncle Julio's since before 2020 and times have changed. We stopped in on a Friday night after shopping in the area, we immediately noticed the floor was sticky. Our waiter was friendly but not very attentive, the food was ok but I wouldn't go so far as to say it was good. I can't recommend this place based off this experience but would still probably choose this place over an On the Border. read more

Always fabulous! Gaby is so much much fun and so attentive! The food is always good and the drinks are top notch. But seriously put the Kentucky Preacher back on the drinks menu! read more

I grew up in Texas and enjoyed the original Uncle Julio's. While the chain has morph into something less than the original Texas locations, it is still solid. Highly recommend the margaritas, some of the best available. The watermelon version is my favorite when available. Fajitas are solid but do add the bacon wrapped shrimp. read more

Huge disappointment!!! We've been regular customers at uncle Julio's for well over 20 years. Within the past year we have attended the Arlington location with it being closer to home and the one of the best HH around hence bc the service had improved greatly since they first opened this new location. We have gotten to know most of the bartenders within this time and had close bonds with most of them. Sadly on a few occasions and specifically the last one we had odd and disrespectful encounters with one particular bartender that in past had only served us as our bartender solo maybe once. We normally only came in to see other bartenders we knew and enjoyed which either worked alone or on maybe two occasions worked with this bartender. " Gabby " on many occasions confronted us while sitting at the bar enjoying our food, drinks and conversation with other bartenders serving us and made inappropriate odd and I feel very insecure comments about not being liked bc we asked or associated with the bartenders we knew and enjoyed. She made comments like " y'all don't like me " and was snide, oddly insecure and rude to us in these comments we didn't understand. On our last most recent visit we had come in for a few HH drinks and food and this employee walked in for her apparent shift, mind you we had already been there being serviced by another bartender we knew, and she once again came up to us , interrupted our peaceful time and said again " y'all don't like me " I find this behavior odd, rude and highly insecure especially as an employee of a restaurant. We talked to the managers when they confronted us after I mentioned to one employee of this odd rude behavior from Gabby and mind you some of the employees, bartenders and one of the acting managers also witnessed this encounter from her to us. The G.M. Of the restaurant walked up to us very unprofessional and suggested we call first to make sure gabby isn't working before we come in. I feel like their was no formal apology made or reprimand to that employee for her rude an unprofessional behavior towards customers especially regular respectful ones. I have never felt so disrespected as a customer than I did in that moment. Sadly We have not been back and no plans to bc of Gabby and the G.M. And how this was handled. So unprofessional and disrespectful. As long as they continue to allow employees to treat customers with such disrespect and witness it and do nothing about it, they will continue to lose good regular customers. I hope something is done not just for us but for anyone who wants to come in for a peaceful dinner and drinks with family, friends or loved ones and try and enjoy their experience. Reviews are everything!! read more

Olga was a rockstar waitress! The whole experience was wonderful! Recommend the combo fajitas!

So enjoy this place. Love the staff especially Stephanie. We're Hanging out at the bar with friends today and she's always so jovial. Had the nachos- hmm they were good but really missed the old way. Please bring back the individual nachos instead of the bowl. . read more

This was a very last minute, easy, and quick choice. Right as we sit everything came quick and we only waited under 15 minutes for our food. Everything was fulfilling and enjoyable. However, the food quality was not MY top notch, but still good. And the service was not the best. I also didn't love the layout of the restaurant, but was a very easy meal to plan!! read more

If you order from these clowns on Uber East they will scan you in the portions -- especially queso and beans or any other side. They don't know the diff between a pint or cup or teaspoon. This was supposed to be a large $15?! read more

Anna is an excellent waiters. She was attentive, Fun and got our order exactly as placed. The manager and possibly assistant manager also checked on us.

Uncle Julio's - Table side guacamole - Mexican Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Came here with my mom and her friends on a Tuesday afternoon. The restaurant wasn't terribly busy and happy hour had just started. We were seated immediately (7 of us) to a table of waters, chips, and salsas. From then things became... off. Our waitress had an attitude from the time we sat down until the time we left. She rushed us through our order, was short with her responses, and wasn't personable at all. She definitely didn't show any respect for the elderly women she served. I ordered the lunch chicken fajitas with corn tortillas and the happy hour swirl x2. The drink was amazing! No complaints there. I enjoyed the fajitas as they give you a large portion for lunch but it makes me wonder how much larger than dinner. I initially ordered guacamole but they were out and I had to wait for them to make more (which wasn't an issue) it was just the attitude we received when we were told. I did eventually get the guacamole. I had enough food for leftovers along with chips and salsa to go. Overall, I won't return to this location because the service sucks but I will try other locations. read more

5/4/2025 Plenty of seating. LONG wait. Told NOT enough wait staff? ONE bench out front that might seat 3. LEFT to stand & wonder how LONG the wait was going to be? Could have at least seated our party of 7 while we WAITED ? Food was OK but the meal had already been ruined before we ever sat down. read more

Food was good but over priced! The service was great and so was the ambiance. I just can't justify 30 bucks for the chocolate pinata.

Bartender was scrubbing down the bar drain with her gloves, didn't bother to say hi. I was the only person at the bar at 8:24 pm on a Tuesday evening. At her leisure, she threw the menu at me and walked away. I noticed her grab a bowl of chips without changing her gloves and brought it back. I told her that was gross and asked her how she would feel if it was her on the other side of the bar. She got upset at me and told me I she would find someone else to wait on me. I called the manager over, who wasn't really a help either. I ended up leaving without eating. Melissa was the manager. read more

Megan was FANTASTIC! We sat in the bar and she was so personable and friendly and knew her menu! It wasn't too loud or busy, but she recommended the cochinata tacos and they were so flavorful and amazing. Megan had a great attitude and was very welcoming. Coming back just for her! read more

Wait times were a bit intense. Did not experience the food (sorry); however, the atmosphere was a little off (in my opinion). We left before being seated. read more

Just your typical generic Mexican restaurant , nothing too exciting We were a party of 8, and everyone ordered different dishes . I got the jalapeño salmon which was as plain and as unexciting as you can make 'em. Just a boring dish. Portion was pretty generous though . Also got a mojito that was - surprise surprise - generic and boring They charged us an exuberant 22% service fee as we were a table of eight. A bit too much in my eyes I would recommend to skip . There's probably much better options read more

Uncle Julio's - Salmon - Mexican Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Uncle Julio's used to be my favorite Mexican restaurant. They're still not bad, but have gone downhill. Their salsa is not as good as it used to be, the queso is definitely not as good, and I miss the Blanco queso. Like everywhere else the portions seem to be smaller but the prices are definitely higher. I have been a very loyal customer to uncle Julio's and I really hope they can get their food back to the way it used to be. I could tell that their business has decreased because the dining room was at least half empty. In spite of this, the service was still slow, particularly when getting drinks. read more
