    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.

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

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

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.

So sad it has changed ,, they set you down from hostess after going going going long time thru the iPad to find a table when there tables open everywhere!!! So aggravating that it takes 3 hostess to figure out where to sit you after 5 minutes . Then no menus till servers come up the table like it took 8 minutes then longer to get your tea , chips and salsa just not a good experience today from the servers ,, there was a trainer trining server and between the 2 of them couldn't get it right !! The drinks took like 10 minutes we had to ask for it again then no lemons like we asked .. and asked for 3 Salas for 1 for 3 people . Had to ask for refills on drinks , I was paying with cash that took forever getting that and still wasn't the right change !! Just go back the old way of papasitos ,, NOT a good experience at all !! Should not be like that bill was 30.00 and that should be a treat to do that but was really aggravating!! I would think twice before going ,, unless you want to wait and wait and still not get it right !! Maybe try university in Fort Worth .papasitos??
