Food was ok, wish there was a different sauce in my cheese enchiladas, get the black beans if you're vegetarian since the refried beans contain bacon in them. Service was kinda slow, but they did have a few big groups for early dinner, ambiance was good. There were a lot of flies which was the downfall. read more

The service was good! We were a very large group about 20 of us! We came here during the week so wasn't overly busy. I enjoyed the atmosphere and I liked the layout of the restaurant. I liked that they also have some outdoor seating. The food was okay for me not bad. read more

Service was fine. Food was horrible. Food served didn't seem fresh nor warm. Steak fajita dinner felt like it was stale and microwaved. Chewy and no flavor. Tortilla on chicken quesadillas was soggy. We sat on the patio, and almost all the chairs had bird poop. Overall disappointing experience. read more

For our appetizer, we started out with Delicious guacamole, made in house with mashed Hass Avacados, chopped; onions, jalapeño, cilantro and tomatoes. We ordered the large, however, it looked like one small scoop served with fried corn tortilla chips. I also started out with Modelo beers with lime and salt. My friend and I both ordered the Cheese & Onion Enchiladas. I requested cilantro rice and refried beans for my sides. The food was good. The service was horrible. My bear was 2/3 full. I asked where the rest was. He just walked away. Our whole dining experience was terrible thanks to the rude waiter. Food 4 stars - service 0. read more

In love with the chicken enchiladas!! Best Mexican food I have had in a very long time. We came here after Top golf. They were very friendly seated us fast and got our ordered taken. Drinks were good, not very strong. The food was perfect. The chocolate Dessert at the end was my favorite. The whipped cream was sooo good!!!!!!! read more

Food was subpar for the price. Service was subpar as well. But this place lost an additional 2 stars for the absolute disgust for the lack of cleanliness. I'd except sticky floors in an ice cream shop, but when we walked in all of our shoes were quite literally sticking to the floor... when I looked down to see why, I noticed the grout lines were CAKED in food, dirt, and I'm assuming dried up mop sludge. I took my 10 month old into the bathroom to change her diaper on the baby table and there was dirt and grime caked into the table and counters as well! I cannot believe the absolute filth! All I can think is if their public seating area is this bad, how does the kitchen look. Will not be returning. read more

Had a great experience at Uncle Julio's last night for dinner! My husband and I shared the Supreme Nachos with fajita chicken and also ordered the combo fajitas with chicken, steak, and shrimp for 2. We loved the roasted salsa that came with the setup, which was chips and salsa. The service was great, too. Our food was served quickly and our server was very friendly. No complaints here. The ambiance was interesting inside. I've only been to Uncle Julio's outdoor patio, but this was my first time sitting inside. We were very impressed by the fajita chicken. We had a LOT of leftovers, so we took the meat home. Looking forward to coming back! I want to try the tableside guacamole next time and introduce my husband to the chocolate sphere that we can break and out comes churros, chocolate, and fruit! read more

Well we made the mistake of giving this place one more try, and regret it. We know the food will be good but the service as usual is horrible. It is almost a joke at this point but tonight was pretty ridiculous as they were not busy at all in the bar area, and I believe I saw possibly two grey shirted managers working this evening. A lot of restaurants will have a manager stop by tables to say hello and see how everything is going at the table. Not tonight.The floor in the bar area was all sticky, and dirty. We sat at a table by the window, and were finally greeted by a waiter/ bartender. Drinks were slow and when the wine came it was in a rocks glass. When we asked for more chips the waiter picked up the basket and dumped what was left into our other basket, as if we would want all the little broken pieces. It was really strange. Service was slow and the bare minimum without even a water refill. We finally flagged down our waiter to get our check . The fact that it was my birthday and he was able to pull up my account but unable to use rewards became the final frustration for us. It is a shame because I know there are probably great locations but this one needs some help, and staff training. read more

Visited this evening on a work trip. The salsa is top notch and the rest of the food was wonderful. I had the chicken and skirt steak fajitas. The atmosphere is awesome with several games on the TV!!! The service was a little slower than anticipated but they leave water at the tables for you to personally fill so it's reasonable. Thanks for a good experience. read more

We went in maybe 2.5hrs before close and they weren't too busy. We had a decent sized party of 7. Our waitress was very nice and attentive the entire time. She made sure we had drinks, chips and salsa on the table at all times. The food tasted more tex-mex than authentic but it was overall good. I guess they do a margarita a day or week and we ordered those which was a mixed berry margarita. read more

I love the atmosphere and of course the wonderful food! It's a great place to eat!! Also, the best margaritas in the City!

This was my first time here came on a Saturday around 4:30 we were seated quickly I got the chicken tortilla soup which was really yummy and the crab and lost her flour tortilla enchiladas they also have the option for corn with a sides of pinto beans and fruit (strawberries,pineapples and grapes). The enchiladas were sooo good. I wish the beans came with no pork though. Maria was our waitress she was nice and answered all questions . Around 5:20 it started to get really busy but the noise level was average. They also have an happy hour M-F 3-6 pm. read more

Very good food! However... Very small portions and very high prices. If you make an online order, don't expect to get everything that you order! They seldom get the order correct. read more

This review is hard because the first Uncle Julio's I went to was in Chicago. I've been to the ones in Dallas and Naperville as well. This was our third time at this location in OKC. As a chain, the tortillas and chips are chef's kiss. I'd come here just for that. I enjoy the salsas, traditional and the mesquite one. But the meat quality is just ok. The chicken in ALL locations now are off - not juicy and buttery like it used to be years ago. The steak is better here, but still dry. We got churros to go. The sugar topping was nonexistent. It looked like someone's first attempt at making churros - like we got the reject ones! They used to be little bite sized pieces - they should probably go back to that. Service was friendly, though our meal did take awhile to get to us. It was pretty packed on a Friday night. Ambience is always nice. It's a fun spot for a drink or to watch a game. Maybe I should try ordering something vegetarian next time, I don't know anymore! read more

Let's start with the reservation, we made a reservation for 5 people around 5:15 thinking we could do a reservation for 6-6:30. The earliest we could was 7, not a big deal. We got to the restaurant around 6:30 and we were greeted by a rude hostess. I was still parking the car when the hostess told my wife we needed to wait till our reservation time. Immediately after telling us that she seated 2 separate parties of 4 and 5 people who did not make a reservation. I get into the restaurant and address the issue we have with waiting an additional 30 minutes with the hostess. She immediately gave me attitude as well. We were seated about 10 minutes later after a server with what seemed to be a lot of experience came up and made suggestions to the hostess. After being seated we waited quite awhile for our server who was great however, was obviously overwhelmed with tables due to short staff. Drinks from the bar were awful, extremely sour. My daughter ordered a mocktail and had to ask 3 separate times for it after all adults recieved their alcoholic beverages. She did not receive it until her food came out. To add insult to injury, the atmosphere was far off from any Uncle Julio's I've ever been to. The restaurant had several parties with small children who were screaming and slamming silverware and dishes. This is expected to a degree when going out in public but this was at an obnoxious level. Most people in the restaurant were visibly uncomfortable with the noise level. Food, though the fajitas lived up to the level you'd expect from Uncle Julio's the steak quesadilla which I've gotten once or twice before had the presentation someone would expect from a Taco Bell. The plate looked nothing at all like what I've ordered in the past, it was bland looking an not at all something you'd expect from this class of restaurant. The amount of cheese and steak was minimal, it was mostly made up of tortilla. Having had enough, we finished our food, denied all additional drinks and desserts, paid our ridiculous bill for the food/service we received and quickly left the restaurant. After arriving home, 4 of the 5 of us did not feel very well after eating there. Won't be back, been to plenty of Great Uncle Julio's restaurants however, this one should have to change it's name. I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

Let me tell you. We LOVE Mexican food! We try new places all the time. This place is HANDS DOWN the best we have ever eaten. The salsa, guacamole, chicken and steak fajitas and oh my the margaritas! You will not be disappointed. Even the price was way better than we expected! read more

The food here was just okay. We did the taco Tuesday. I liked all the toppings it came with. The chips and salsa were very good. It was great they had vegan options. The appetizer nachos were so bland and gross. The service was decent. It was a large party so she did the best she could. It's a nice family environment. We were celebrating a birthday , I don't know if I'll ever go back on my own. read more

My family and I had a great experience at Uncle Julio's! They had been before but this was my first time. I would definitely recommend it for a good lunch spot, we will be back soon! I ordered the steak fajita bowl, and it was absolutely fantastic!!! There was a great ratio of meat to rice and veggies. It's a good option if you want something that will provide leftovers. Our server was Destiny and she did an amazing job!!! She greeted us very warmly and was very quick with refills and our food. Shoutout to Ms. Destiny!!! The ambiance was very nice with spacious booths and great service! My family and I will be back for another nice lunch!! read more

Uncle Julio's - Steak Fajita Bowl - Tex-Mex Near Me - Oklahoma, Oklahoma

Chocolate piñata you say? We're in. Our due date was rapidly approaching so we wanted to celebrate our little baby coming in a very special. A chocolate piñata felt just special enough! It was a fun production. They brought it out on a platter that had made look festive for our baby. Handed my husband a stick and instructed him to hit down and not sideways. In two swings he got it cracked open and the joyous mood continued. Out popped pineapples, strawberries, and churros. I will say this would have been better split among probably 6 people because we had so much leftover chocolate, fruit, and churros. read more

Good server, cold food! Rice was ice cold, quality was subpar compared to many other local Mexican restaurants. Quantity was definitely small for the price. Service was good and she apologized for the food quality. Left a good tip for her, but won't come back. read more

First time here. In general it's okay the service is pretty good. But the prices are definitely questionable. I got the single steak and chicken fajitas it was $24 dollars. When I got it, it was SO PUNY. The big surrounding plate makes it *look* bigger but its not. The wine was ok but no happy hour or taco Tuesday special prices. My friend got the fish tacos . $18.50. She got more than me. Not impressed. The ambiance was ok. Nice looking place through the entrance could be clearer. Nice bar area and booths etc. read more

My wife and I stopped in one afternoon. We ate in the bar and received great service. I had the carne asada and my wife had the chicken breast. Both were delicious and not to be missed. I've heard this location has changed hands a couple of times but the food is great as well as the service in a very nice atmosphere. A bit pricey but we will definitely be returning. read more

Food is better than average The Ambiance for Mexican food is the best in Oklahoma City metro Wait staff is good 2:00 Saturday January 3. Cafe is only about a third full with dinner several hours away. The lady who seated us was terrible. We wanted to sit at a high table in the bar. 3 booths and 6 hightop tables with only one being used a 6 top that 7 people were sitting at. She wanted us to sit at a round 3 top that was literally 18" from this family. I am sure the family was nice but they were loud which is fine, but I did not want to sit that close to them. When I requested a different table she looked disgusted and stated the restaurant was busy. I pointed out the bar was only a third full, 3 of 9 tables. She then set us at another table. I would give her 1 star for service read more

Not the same! They sold out to the company that owns Cheddars. UJ used to be our favorite Mexican food restaurant of all time. We first started going to the one in Dallas back in the 90's, seriously so happy they opened one in OKC...but now the recipes have changed, nothing is the same. It's so gross! Save your money, go somewhere else. So sad. read more

Good food, nice atmosphere and the wait staff were very attentive. Would recommend it to anyone

This place has a great atmosphere that feels slightly more upscale than other places I've been to. That being said, it does mean that their prices are slightly higher, especially if you're having fajitas. They offer a great table side guacamole made to order and that's always a fun experience when with a group. We got tacos and a shredded chicken bowl and both were excellent and flavorful. But the kicker that will really bring us back is the delicious salsa that they serve with the chips. They have a chipotle one and a spicier more traditional one and both are amazing, we couldn't stop eating them. read more

We had a group of 6. I ordered barbacoa tacos. There wasn't much meat, and what was there was bland and mostly fat. The crispy shell was not fresh made. The queso was a basic cheese sauce, nothing extra. Drinks were not free refills. The grandkids were excited to surprise me with telling the waiter that it was my birthday. The waiter completely forgot. We were going to order the chocolate piñata, but decided against it after our meal being just so-so. $35 for the piñata is crazy, as they no longer have and choc or caramel sauce to dip fruit in. They just do a drizzle on 2 corerWe have been there several times, but this was our last. read more

The patio is very dirty the tables, chairs and floor has bird poop everywhere. The ducks and birds continue to hangout and poop. Please consider cleaning the area before offering the patio for setting or close the patio if you are unable to maintain it. When we said something to the waiter about the dirty chairs, they just brought another chair and left the one that had poop on it. We decided to have the taco bar Tuesday special. The chicken looked like canned chicken with a little sauce and the ground beef was not good quality. The service was OK, they did not refill our drinks. If we wanted to have one of their happy hour drinks you are required to sit inside at the bar- very odd. read more

I never write reviews. Our dining experience was so poor I decided to. our server was terrible. Very bad service. completely forgot about us several times and it wasn't busy. Never asked how our food was. Never asked if we needed water or a refill on our drinks. My enchiladas barely had any sauce at all. Never cleared our plates. Forgot to bring my moms drink but brought mine and didn't apologize for totally forgetting hers. Took another 15 minutes to bring it. Ddint take our order for about 45 minutes. Didn't even give us the opportunity to order before running off. Everything took forever. He even had help and still left us waiting many times. $80 wasted. read more

We came here for my moms birthday and I'll lead with this. Make a reservation it was a Saturday so we expected to wait and we did. But the staff handled it well. Once we got sat we were promptly served and the food was great! My only issue is the meat in my tacos was a bit dry but everything else was spectacular. While we didn't partake this visit they have a chocolate piñata that we witnessed another table enjoying. Consider going here just for that! read more

This has become our goto Tex Mex restaurant in Edmond/OKC. Abuelo's had been for the past 10 years but sadly they shutdown. Our primary criteria is good cocktails, just ahead of good food, followed by service and atmosphere. Uncle Julio's meets that criteria and we have enjoy several meals there. Great cocktails, too. But, yesterday we dined and asked for a go box. What they brought was a square cardboard box with folding sides. I love the fact that it is not plastic/styrofoam and commend them on this. But, the box is almost impossible to get food from plate to box. And, no container for beans. You virtually have to dump the food into the box or at least that seemed the only alternative to us. Design is terrible although the idea is great. A redesign is warranted in my opinion. But food, service and ambiance is still great. read more

Grabbed a quick working lunch which I thought was going to be a poor choice since my previous visit was overly loud. Not the case this time. The cheese queso & chips was our starter, the queso was good but I think over priced for a small bowl. I've thought the Chicken Tortilla Bowl was just medicore. I think it had all the makings of a delicious dish but fell short of my expectations. read more
