Side rice and beans
Juana E.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Our niece can to visit for a day and she agreed to join us to eat even though she says where she lives there is tons of Mexican restaurants. She was so impressed with the food, saying it the best Tex-Mex she's had. The place is fairly small with a separate bar area so the atmosphere is very easy to relax and talk while eating plus visit. Check this lace out, guaranteed you won't be disappointed!

The restaurant reveals itself to be larger once you're inside. It's a cozy dining experience and I liked the cluttered decor of Mexican tchotchkes and liquor bottles. The owners were very kind to reserve tables for our large group and arrange for us all to pay separately. I tried the cheese enchiladas and they were very filling - they came with Spanish rice and refried beans on the side. I was tempted by the taco salad... some fellow diners ordered it and they were serving size was enormous! Most dishes here seemed well suited to having enough leftovers for the next day.

We decided to head over to the ever popular El Arroyo. We were hoping to be able to find a parking spot in their packed parking lot. I say this kindly since El Arroyo is very popular and to plan accordingly. I'm an amputee and there are only two handicapped spaces. Arriving we were optimistic, and we were in luck. We didn't get a handicapped spot but one just as good on the end of a row allowing my lots of room to transfer to my mobility chair. We love El Arroyo's patio, and it was going full blast. The hostess tagged the perfect accessible table for us and had it cleaned and set! We settled in and were greeted with salsa and a basket of piping hot chips. There was an awesome vocalist singing America standards in the background. She was wonderful, I wish I had gotten her name. Ashley, our incredible server, greeted us and took our drink order. It was definitely margarita time. We love their margaritas! They're a must if you're dining at the restaurant. After looking at the menu, my wife and I decided to split an order of chicken fajitas for one. We've found out fajitas for one are perfect for the two of us. The order usually provides at least two fajitas for each of us. So that's what we ordered. This would be the first time we'd ordered fajitas at the restaurant. In a jiff, Ashley delivered our margaritas to the table. She apologized that the food may take a bit longer since it was Friday evening and the restaurant was slammed. We told her we were in no hurry and just wanted to relax. We sat back, munched on chips and salsa and enjoyed the live entertainment. After a reasonable wait, dinner was served! Our chicken fajita entree was delivered smoking and sizzling along with all the necessary sides. Oh my, the fajitas smelled so good. We knew by the smoky smell they were going to be incredible, and YES, they were. They were some of the best chicken fajitas we've ever had. The chicken had just the right amount of marinade on it, and it was grilled to perfection. The side, rice, refried beans, guac and pico, were perfectly prepared and seasoned. To the flour tortillas, they were some of the softest and most tender tortillas we've had. To top the evening's visit off, Ashley, even though she was super busy, took excellent care of us. Thank you, El Arroyo for a relaxing dining experience, superior customer service with a smile, and a pronominal order of chicken fajitas. We'll see you again soon.
