Our waitress Lea was kind, patient and tentative . The food was good per usual and drinks. I have never had any issue when coming here. Our wait may have been 15 minutes if that long. Nice place for groups as well.. read more

Horrible service!! We've given this location numerous chances (because it is the closest location to us) and it's no different every time. We used to frequent the Addison location because we lived closer to it and never had any issues. It always takes forever for someone to acknowledge we are even here, the service is slow and when the food does come it is completely wrong! Save your money, there are enough good restaurants in the area that have better service. We will NOT be back to this location. read more

We tried this Uncle Julio's a couple months ago and have been back several times since. Great food and ambiance. The barbacoa fajitas are so good. We have enjoyed everything we ordered. Even our kid likes the kids meal. It comes in a neat bento box looking serving plate. We all agree it's our new favorite restaurant for Mexican food. read more

Definitely will be going back Food Was Great along with the customer service. Joshua made us feel welcomed and we appreciated how he would check-in with us to see if we needed anything.(usually people just forget) so thank you for that great service and great dessert. Margaritas were also amazing read more

Awesome bartender, Jannette & another guy. Love the grapefruit margarita. Refreshing and never had this yumminess that's not too sweet. Most places loaded up way too much sugar in Texas, that's why there are hundreds of dentists all over the areas! Wake up people... sugar is bad for our health. This place gets a 5 star for the dishes we ordered are fresh! Nice job to the chefs here. I got home and posted all about our experience at this awesome bar Mexican restaurant in my social media- Highly recommend and if you see Janette, tell her Elsie & Dr James said hollaaaaa and do tip her well please... read more

Went here and made a reservation on Open Table, my brother had brought an extra person & they were able to accommodate us right away without making it seem like it was a big deal. I mention this because this has happened before and I've been lectured or talked about by hostess saying how different it is space wise for 5 than 4, I get it and we are always willing to wait, just don't be rude. Okay, end rant. I just meant to say it was appreciated. Their chips and salsa were good! We had a variety of food ordered... fajitas, enchiladas, fish tacos, quesadillas, & tacos. I had the fish tacos and asked them to replace the corn tortillas with flour tortillas. I was impressed because throughout my meal the flour ones held up and did not go soggy. Compliments to the kitchen for putting together my tacos where the sauce didn't sink to the bottom nor did tomatoes or anything else to make its soggy. The tilapia used was delicious! The sauce was a bit more spicy than I expected, I know it was chipotle ranch but it had a big kick! I was also able to try the chicken enchiladas substituted with sour cream sauce, very good. Compliments from the rest of the fam on everything else... especially the fajitas. I wish I had gotten the name of our server. Young kid, dark short hair, we were there on 12/22 at a table close to the restrooms around 5:30pm. He was fast, very helpful on menu suggestions, and kept our drinks filled and other needs satisfied. One star short of five due to the restroom floor was extremely sticky, the sauce being too spicy, and the fact that they were out of iced tea. Overall though it was a good experience. We'll be back. read more

Uncle Julio's - Tilapia fish tacos with chipotle ranch, rice, and beans. Good but spicier than expected. Maybe ask for the sauce on the side next time. - Mexican Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Fair food and weak drinks for a lot of money. T. B. is much cheaper and so much better.

We came as a large group of 10, called ahead in the morning to make a reservation but the host wasn't very accommodating stating they probably wouldn't be able to seat us all together. However on arrival they had put us all together on the high tops in the bar area - it was a Monday night and the restaurant was hardly busy. We had three servers taking care of us and the service was absolutely terrible, they didn't take care of us at all. They never offer us more alcoholic drinks, we would have probably had at least two rounds between us if not more! They never checked on us to see how our food was after it had been delivered, never offered us dessert. We had to flag our servers down for everything, it was really was appalling service. The food was ok, nothing amazing or special I'd want to go back for. The salsa with the chips was pretty decent and had a nice little kick. I had the combo fajita plate with chicken, steak and bacon wrapped shrimp - I was surprised when the server asked how I wanted my steak cooking. The dish was nice and I did enjoy the tortillas. We ordered some sopapillas for dessert but they came out lukewarm and over cooked - very disappointing. read more

Food was tasty and served warm! Thought it was good but not great. Wife had beef quesadillas that had a good taste. I had the crispy beef and pulled chicken. Not all that great. I would give a fair review overall. read more

Every table and bar top had dirty dishes the entire time we were there Margaritas were so sweet they were undrinkable. Ordered queso and came out after our meal. Will not go back to that location! read more

Uncle Julio is a gringo That can't cook and can't hire decent servers or staff that can. If you want Mexican food, look somewhere else. The only thing I found halfway decent was the guacamole, even the salsa was pathetic! And how does anyone screw up fajitas? Can't believe I spent $75 for the experience read more

This experience ruined our date night. We were immediately sat in the bar area. No server for about 15 minutes. We order drinks and food together since we've been sat for some time now. My husband orders sweet tea and was brought unsweetened. No big deal. Another server brought out our food and we never saw our server again. I asked 3 people to get our server. We had to beg for drink refills. My order came out wrong, then they went on to charge me for the items that were originally missing. When our server finally came I asked for the check because I could feel myself getting upset. I thought maybe I could be over reacting, but then the other 2 tables the bartender had were complaining as well. He mixed up credit cards, tickets, etc. Manager told me the menu was wrong and they needed to fix it, that's why my food came out different. Please y'all get it together. I left my husband with the check and walked out. Couldn't do it anymore. read more

My husband and I love this place. Great food and friendly service! Today, the manager Aaron made sure our meal was up to par and our waitress Val never let our tea glass get down to half full! We are impressed by service minded staff! Refreshing!! read more

The food is consistent and that's always a good thing. Nicest team members. It's got a good relaxing vibe.

We went for a few cocktails and there were only a few people already seated. Several people had left and dishes were not cleared the entire time we were there. The bar stools were coming apart - we had to switch it out. This used to be our favorite place but has deteriorated- floors sticky too. Not sure when we'll be back; however these are easy fixes! Clean it up! read more

This place is awesome. There is a lot of room inside the restaurant and they have an open kitchen. There is also a big outside patio section. I brought my mom and step dad because they have never been here before. I be been to the Ft.Worth location but no Arlington. We enjoyed our meals !! The honey chipotle bacon wrapped shrimp were delicious I should have ordered a whole dozen!!! read more

First things first, George the waiter, 5 stars. The service was great. This was my first official visit to this location. I attempted to meet a friend here a month ago and even though the parking lot was practically empty and we were wanting to sit on the completely empty patio, we were told that there was a 20-30 minute wait and that we should do it in our car. It was 3:30 on a Wednesday and in the 90s. I am not trying to be a pain, and understanding capacity limitations, but I did ask why such a long wait when the patio was completely empty. I was told they were short staffed. Apparently that has been an issue, as my friend has run into this situation more than once. They no longer have any happy hour food specials and the drinks just consist of the swirl margarita and their house margarita on the rocks. The margarita was heavy on the sweet and sour. The guacamole was pretty bland. We had to ask for salt and then just threw some salsa in it. The salsa is really good. Doesn't pack the heat, but it is smokey and and I enjoy it. Also, their chips are super thin. It works for salsa, but they just break apart when trying to scoop some guac. They have a great patio, the service is good, I just think the food and drinks are average, though the prices are not. read more

Angela was our server for tonight, we did not enjoy our service with her. We needed refill on EVERYTHING, chips, salsa, our drinks filled with ice and nothing else, we had to get another server to bring us chips and salsa. If anything, this lady was either at the host stand talking or in the corner using her phone. Food was good but will kindly not ask to be seated with Angela. read more

Experimented a bit this time. I got the Barbacoa Beef Fajitas. The beef was great, just make sure you understand that the grilled zucchini and squash is just about half the plate. Great service! Excellent flour tortillas (don't eat too many or you will be stuffed!). read more

Not the best night for dinner at Uncle Julio's. Had reservations but still took 10-15 minutes to get seated. Had a very friendly waitress who took our order about 15 minutes after we were seated. Got our drinks about 20 minutes after that. The problem was the food. A full 50 minutes after ordering, we finally got our meals-2 enchilada dinners and one of those wasn't even warm enough to melt the cheese on top. The manager did apologize and covered the food. While we appreciated the response, it was hard seeing tables that came in after eating before us. Hopefully this was an off night. The positives...the Julio's Gold margaritas were outstanding and the taste of the enchiladas was good. read more

I went there for the first time today only because my husband picked the restaurant to go to. I hate to say the street tacos (steak) was the worst I've ever had. I don't know if it was because the steak was cold or very bloody but I will not be back. My husband's steak was good but I'm not sure but I brought home the entire meal to throw away. Sad i hate when money is wasted like that. Also because I don't trust what people will do to Your food when you complain I don't return it back to the kitchen. Well I guess the 3 Yelp stars makes sense. I wish I looked beforehand. read more

We had our Christmas Part at Julio's in Arlington Texas, The food was OK, the Service was awful. we had ask for help and they walked right past, ask the manager, and got no response. they had 1 server for our table of 17 people. the restaurant was more than 1/2 empty. the server was gone more from our table, i would catch a glimpse as she was at bar and in kitchen. sounds like someone needs to have a talk with these people. Merry Crappie Christmas Party. Big Note we will never be back. read more

i had their mango habanero bacon wrapped shrimp and i had the worst stomach ache and diarrhea afterwards, 10/10 dont recommend

Service was treated like trash not busy and first told 2 minute wait and then came back less than a minute and told me and my friend it would be 25 minutes like we were not good enough to eat in there or something well would have been first time but now they can kiss my ass read more

I can't believe I failed to get a picture of our food! Everything we ordered was great. My personal favorite was the charro beans( I realize that's considered a simple dish, but it takes skill to get beans right)! Beef enchiladas were outstanding as well. I chose a new item called El Dorado taco and it was really good as well. Mike took very good care of us and the manager came to check on how we liked everything as well. I will continue to visit often! read more

Zero Stars please. HORRIBLE service and management. Saw all the reviews about speed of service and against our better judgement still gave them a shot. We had a group of 5 families, which still doesn't give an excuse for the service received. We go eat as a group with this exact number of families all over DFW as well as all over Texas and beyond and have never had such a slow and horrible experience. It was by no means packed , not even half full or anywhere near it. Drinks too forever to arrive, MULTIPLE orders were missing. Manager (they tell me her name was Erika) came in to try to apologize and see what was missing, i was translating for someone in our party to tell the manager that he was missing whatever plate he mentioned which was an order for his kid and the manager said "so that empty plate in front of him was not it" like if he was lying. I other people tell her some plates missing, i tell her my kid is missing his kids meal as well. She recites it back and says it will be out. Another eternity later the food finally comes out and my kid is still missing his kids meal, another family is still missing 2 orders of shrimp. I find the manager to let her know I'm STILL missing this kids meal and I'm explaining my frustration while my kid is still starving for over 1 hour plus. She starts talking about "well the waiter is splitting checks they are doing their best "and that she has so many things going on in the kitchen and on the floor on each side blah blah blah. If she has to get on the waiter about the meal then the checks will take longer. I stop here there and say the waiter doing checks should not delay my kid getting his meal we ordered a long time ago and that she came back herself and assured would be out yet was missed AGAIN. My kids food finally arrived and we ask for checks. Guess what checked took another eternity but wait i thought the waiter was spending on his time o checks which is why he couldn't make sure our food arrived. HMM. Checks come out, to no one's surprise checks were also completely fumbled and a disaster so he needs to go redo them. It was clear the manager had no handle on this location this night. I would give some grace if it was packed but it was nowhere near. I've seen Waffle House run better than this "fine dining" establishment. Date of visit 4/26, arrived at 6pm, debacle ended at 10pm or later, i ended up walking out and having someone send me a pic of my bill so i can send them money by the time these folks were done with their reconciliation. read more

I stop there on a Monday afternoon around 430. Host greeted me, sat at the bar at least 15 minutes and nobody responded even though two employees sat there at the bar and looked at me and just walked away. As I was leaving that manager finally comes out and asked is everything OK! No things are not OK when you have someone that come in to your establishment and you can't greet them with at least a glass of water until whom ever is working in the bar area have time to get off the smoke break to come check on the bar!!! read more

Haven't eaten here in about a year but I attended a Bday dinner here. Our party was seated in a timely manner. Our server promptly came to our table and greeted us. He was very patient as we were trying to decide what to order. He was very attentive and answered all of our menu questions. Our food was served fresh, hot and was delicious. Seasoned to perfection and very flavorful. Our server was excellent in providing us dinner service. The Mgr visited our table a couple times just to make sure our dining experience was pleasant. I will be eating there again very soon because I had one of the best dining experiences I can ever remember having. The courteous service we received made the Bday celebration dinner even more enjoyable. read more

The hostess was the worst I've ever experienced so far. We were told 30 minutes wait and we agreed to wait. They got my phone number and name. More than half an hour had passed, I got curious because I didn't get a text and no one was calling my name while other guests were being seated who came in later than us. We approached the hostess who didn't feel sorry for us nor did they apologize for their mistake in getting my phone number wrong. We walked out feeling pretty pissed on new year's eve. We called and asked for the manager but the hostess said she is the manager. We called again and the general manager (Ryan) answered who didn't show any leadership at all. We were obviously upset with the situation but instead of apologizing, he went on saying we were wrong talking to them the way we did. We will never go back to this place again. We went to Abuelo's instead and we got sat down right away even though they're pretty busy. Don't go to Uncle Julio if you want great service. read more

Apparently, Uncle Julio's is also Savage Burrito. I ordered 2 BYO burrito bowls and a dozen churros. That's also exactly what the receipt stapled to the bag read. However, inside was one burrito and a side salad. Normally, this might not be a big concern. It certainly wasn't with the to-go or restaurant manager at Uncle Julio's. HOWEVER, one of those burrito bowls was for my husband who is a Hospice patient. Lately, he is awake 1-2 hours a day. I tried to order something he could eat and would be tasty PLUS delivered when he was awake. I can only I get him to eat a little bit once or twice a day. The mistake was made at Uncle Julio's. Because it was delivered by Door Dash and I paid Door Dash, no one at Uncle Julio's cared. Poor business model and customer service! Door Dash issued a refund. I will never order from Uncle Julio's or Savage Burrito again. read more

Met my friends in Amarillo at uncle Julio's for dinner. We each got a separate bowl for salsa (which was VERY GOOD if you like spicy) with a huge bowl of chips. We each ordered a house margarita and they were amazing - they had either swirl or gold. I had a swirl and it was very sweet but you could still taste the alcohol. I ordered the steak and chicken fajitas and I chose how cooked I wanted my steak. When it came out, it was cooked perfectly and was plenty for me plus enough for extras! It came with rice and beans and four (flour or corn) tortillas. It was amazing! I 100% recommend this restaurant for those who like upscale Mexican food read more

I'm not a big Uncle Julio's eater, but the times that I've been, I've enjoyed it, however I'm not sure if I'll be back after last night. I brought this to my waitress's attention, and she decided to show it to the manager. A woman later came by and asked, "Is everything okay," and I said, "Yes, we're fine," and she moved on... I didn't even realize she was a manger, as she did not announce that nor did she say anything about the order that was presented to her by the waitress. The waitress then finally came back and said, "I spoke to the manager, and she said the bacon is cooked, but she will take off the queso." Granted I did eat the shrimp, also a little worried that I did, but I still wanted to address this undercooked bacon... If this is in fact considered cooked bacon, I need more lessons on cooking bacon. Scratching my head...Bacon Wrapped Camarones read more

Waited 30 minutes for a table. That's typical. We were seated. Chips were brought. No salsa. After a quite a while a waitress took our drink and food order as we already knew what we wanted. She found us some salsa. The waitress was nice. We finally left without getting our food. We went in before 1:30 and left at 2:55. read more

The Uncle Julio's in Arlington was AMAZING!!! The service and attention to detail were top notch. Our server George was attentive, and helpful. I wanted to try a new drink from the bar and was curious about one of the spicy margaritas. George went and got a sample of the spicy margarita for me so I could try it before purchasing it. The drink was great, the food was great, and the service was phenomenal. The food was also brought out quickly. We waited less than ten minutes. We will definitely be back. read more

This was our third horrible experience. 1st time was 5 months ago. The waiter ignored our table after taking our order. Then preceded to act like a sulking child when something was said to his manager. 2nd time arrived at restaurant at 5:30pm, did not get seated till 8pm. No communication from staff. Should have left, but was told originally that it was a 30 minute wait. After a six week waiting period, we gave uncle Julio's in Arlington their final chance. We had a reservation for 6:30pm, arrived at 6:25pm, seated promptly. However we waited for our waitress to take our drink order for close to 20 minutes. We finally ordered food after waiting for 35 minutes. We did not receive our food till 7:45, after asking to speak to a manager. It then took till 8:30 to receive and pay for our checks. There was only 4 of us with two orders, we shared, nothing ordered that was complicated. There is no reason for the service or lack there of. read more
