Good TexMex option in the area. The restaurant is spacious and staff is friendly. Food and drinks came out quickly. The bartender was good enough. We had to ask for silverware rolls and refills on chips and water. The margaritas she made were excellent! Parking is easy and I REALLY like that! I forgot to take pics...sorry. read more

The service is absolutely trash, we came in didn't get greeted, no drinks, and no nothing. Then a white family sat next to us and got attended asap. As we were walking out after waiting 10 minutes and they didn't even try to stop us or make it better. The manager and service team needs to do better. They genuinely do not care. read more

The carnitas fajitas were the best! The meat was cooked to perfection. The couples plate was more than enough. The atmosphere was relaxing and inviting. Oh and the homemade tortillas!! Yum!! Our waitress was also very helpful making recommendations. This will definitely be our go to when we are craving homemade Mexican food. read more

Service was OK, the food decent, the reason I'm giving them a poor review is after I ate and went to pay I was told they don't take AMEX and all I had was 2 different AMEX cards(1 personal and 1 business). Mind you this is after I was here a couple weeks ago and they accepted AMEX.... Fortunately I was able to phone a friend who gave me their VISA card details. read more

I've been here 3-4 times and only ever purchased the chocolate piñata. Because who's ever heard of a piñata you eat the inside AND outside of? It's so good! The menu is pricey but it's a fun splurge every so often. There's plenty of dining inside and out. The place is quite huge. The service is fairly good. Anyways, once we sit down, I just tell them we want waters for everyone and the chocolate piñata. 10-15 minutes later, voila! Out comes this massive tray with chocolate and caramel sauces splattered throughout and mounds of whipped cream in each corner. Usually the birthday kid gets to take a crack at spilling out the contents. So a wooden baton is handled gently by swatting at the top of the piñata. Out pours churros, strawberries blackberries and pineapple. Everyone grabs a skewer and digs in. It's a fun, creative dessert that feeds our family of 7. Take a crack at the chocolate piñata next time to wanna eat out. read more

Great food, service, and ambiance. We really enjoy going to Uncle Julio's any time we need to celebrate something that happened in our family or with friends. read more

Stop in after work for happy hour. Say at a high top in the area. It wasn't very busy which is surprising on a Friday afternoon. Wait staff was friendly. Management was also out working the floor and checking on different patrons at different tables. We started with 2 Julio's Gold, chips, salsa, and a small house guacamole. The drinks were good to be a pre made mixture. The chips, salsa and guacamole all required salt. Once we added salt it tasted okay. I ordered the grilled fish tacos on flour tortillas and the hubby had steak tacos on flour tortillas. I think the fish tacos were satisfying. Nothing special or memorable. Hubby says the steak taco had good flavor. We ordered 2 more happy hour drinks. The swirl was good but sweet. When we got the bill we signed up for the rewards. It took off money instantly. We added on a 10% tip. Paid the total. Got our receipt emailed. Ready to head home. The handheld machines the restaurant utilizes for customers to check out says we still owed a balance. We checked our receipt and bank account and we had in fact fully paid. Waitress said it would be deleted at the end of the night. We shall see... read more

I don't normally leave reviews but Uncle Julio's was disappointing. The atmosphere was pretty decent honestly and I enjoyed the environment. I ordered shrimp and crab enchiladas, which were decent. That's where the good ends. The waiter was nice but drinks took forever to come out. The other waiters were messing around with each other most of the time I was there. I understand people need a break but it felt unprofessional in a high-end restaurant to see them doing nothing but standing and conversing right in front of us. Probably explains why it took 18 minutes for a single drink to arrive. My friend ordered chicken enchiladas and they were powder-dry. Both of our rice sides had so many hard chunks of dry rice that we genuinely couldn't eat it. The beans were mediocre but there were like 8 beans so there was not much to taste. The queso tasted boxed and left a lot to be desired. And the chips tasted soapy?? Not even sure how that came to be. Not worth the price point, not even remotely close. Atmosphere was the only redeeming factor and that being the only good thing for a restaurant that charges nearly $50 for fajitas for two says a lot about their food and service. Will never go back. Please listen to all the other 1-star reviews. read more

We ordered almost $100 worth of food online to go, only to show up and realize they had given it to the wrong person when we showed up to pick it up. At first they were actually argumentative until they realized the mistake was on them. We had to wait 30+ minutes for them to remake everything, and the manager (Samantha) offered absolutely nothing to help make it right... a small discount or something would have been nice for the inconvenience of our time and our guests. The point is... based on tonight's actions and other issues we've had, they do NOT care about the customer.... there are plenty of Mexican food options that do care about the customer... we will not be back. read more

Nice place.. will return. Had the fajitas combo with a michelada. Everything was great including the service..

The food is blah, there are a lot of better Mexican restaurants in houston. The service was good.

Food and drinks were delicious - my husband and I shared the Guadalajara fajitas. Service was on point. (Even though we were sitting outside). Quick and great customer service from ALL of the employees who checked in on us. The patio was beautiful, perfect date spot. 10/10 all around. We will be back! read more

The service was good and that was it. The food was horrible. The tortillas were undercooked. The chicken fajitas stretched the tortillas. Chicken fajitas were flavorless, barely grilled. No peppers in the fajitas. Just warmed onions, not grilled. Not even wilted. Tried to substitute shrimp for fajitas and the shrimp was $3 each. Rice was dry, tasted day-old, beans were salty. Fajitas, 2 margaritas, shrimp plate, kids meal was $100. Horrible! read more

Day bartender was rude asked for chip and dip while I waited for a friend and she seemed to be bothered and a $9.74 margarita just wasn't with it. read more

Our waitress was extremely rude, took our order by memory then got it wrong, and had the worst attitude I've ever had while dining. We ordered fajitas for two and it was taco cabana quality at best. For the price just go to El Tiempo in vintage park or wait for Gloria's to open in the woodlands. The food had no flavor or freshness for the price compared to its competitors. read more

My wife and I had a reservation for a table to celebrate my birthday. It was a Friday (we anticipated a lot of people being there) we arrived and notified the girl at the front who told us there is a wait (which is fine). We sat outside and noticed people arriving and getting seated and thought well no biggie. After 3 or 4 people went ahead of us I reminded the girl at the front and lo and behold there was a table ready in about 5 mins. We are seated at a high table (which was unstable and rocked left and right) waited 10 mins for someone to notice us. Finally I flagged the girl who sat us down and asked if we could change tables. Her response "Sorry I cannot do that all tables are booked" they were three tables available and I had a reservation. I told the manager who said that simply wasnt true. He tried to seat us somewhere however I was already done. It seems there is favor to a certain "clientele" but I will not be wasting time or money here. read more

Tonight our server was Alex and we got our usual delights here. The combo fajitas with this Mexican butter that makes you wanna slap your mama! And we got free dessert as we earned points for the app a chocolate lovers piñata! The food and service is always on point and couldn't be happier with the amazing consistent service everytime.... that's why we keep coming back! And get the app and the card you earn free stuff! read more

Worst customer service I've ever experienced!! I ordered a pint of queso for $14.30 to serve at a get together and they gave me a tiny container (maybe a cup) of queso. Asked to speak to manager and rudely was told she was the manager. Did nothing to make it right and stated that corporate sets the prices and amounts. Unbelievable! Will never return! read more

Food was delicious! Got the vegetable fajitas. The salsa and chips are very yummy! We also had frozen margs and they were very tasty!

food was just ok I've had better but the worst thing about this place is the service and manners of the manager! Waitress was having a hard time figuring out the bill and the manager instead of being helpful was rude and condescending accused us of not wanting to pay the bill after i was the one that kindly reminded the waitress that she forgot to bring me my bill. Even after the manager notice the error was on their end she didn't even bother to come apologize! read more

I'm visiting from New Mexico, The service and management were top notch. They were very attentive, wait staff superb. The food, subpar. I got the chicken bowl. I had to search for the shredded chicken. It was rice with Avocado, the beans...... well have you ever seen food refrigerator magnets? Ummm yeah. But, great customer service read more

Bad services. We order 2 margaritas with no salt on them And got salt and then ordered one dinner with no onions and got onions. And food was cold Services was BAD.and management doesn't really care. We paid for drinks that where made wrong and only remade 1 margarita After I explain to the waiter I was allergic to salt because it has iodine and like I said management doesn't really care because management never came read more

Uncle Julio's has excellent service and wonderful food. The servers are friendly and professional. This place treats you like family. The ambiance of Uncle Julio's is cozy, and it's like you're being served at home. I intend to bring all my family and friends for the experience of the pinata my Mom did that for my birthday a nice experience and I can't wait to do the in-laws so keep up the great work stay blessed N.

The patio and gas lamps are beautiful and it is a lovely patio to sit and enjoy the views. The queso blanco with ground beef is really good! The rest of the food was bland. The Tex-mex combination had cold sauce and unmelted cheese and the taco shell definitely came from a cold box. The sauces themselves were nothing to crave again. The fish tacos tasted very charred, as if that was the only flavor. read more

The food wasn't great at all. I went here with my mom on 11/12. She hadn't eaten all day. The parking lot was full so we thought we'd try it. The ambience was great but the food was very disappointing. I believe we ordered a chicken fajita bowl. There was barely any chicken in it and the ingredients weren't fresh. I was very disappointed. Our waitress was nice but didn't go the extra mile to recommend anything on the menu or ask if it was our first time eating there. Needless to say, we won't be back. read more

Known for their chocolate piñata with fruit, this is a popular place for large groups. The interiors were nice. We sat in the patio near the water. It was a little hot. The salsa was pretty sweet, guacamole a little too chunky and the queso a little salty. The chips were delicious but were so thin that it was stressful eating it because it kept breaking. We split a Coronado Pollo platter..two chicken enchiladas with red sauce, one chicken enchilada with green sauce, one chicken taco, one chicken tamale, one chicken taco, beans and rice. I didn't care for the red sauce but the green sauce was good. Chicken was a little dry. Tamale was good. Overall, nice staff and food was okay. read more

The size of the drinks for the price is downright absurd. It is completely filled with ice and literally they put a whole lime in my drink. (The picture is AFTER the ice has melted down) and it's still up to the top of the glass. Who charges $15.20 for a whiskey glass? Frauds. The manager laughed at us when we said we wouldn't be back because of the absurd drink prices and did nothing to make it right, he obviously doesn't care about customers returning. Management is a joke, our server was super sweet and the food was good. Will not be back again though unfortunately, get in touch with corporate because the manager sure won't! read more

Julio's has a nice atmosphere but in my opinion the food was not up to par. We had the mixed fajitas with shrimp brochette. I did not enjoy any of my food except for the queso. The salsa wasn't even good. The only reason we go once a year is because my grand daughter likes the chocolate piñata. read more

This place combines mediocre service with super high menu prices. The setting is nice, and the margarita was tasty, so I added a star. This was just a really underwhelming to go experience. read more

Fantastic View if you are sitting outside! Other than that, there is nothing about Uncle Julio's you need to know. I understand in this environment of COVID we all need to social distance, realize service may be a bit off and patience is needed, but to be ignored.... Come 'on Julio! The food is average, but the price reflects premium service and deliciousness. Neither of which are present. We have fajitas and enchiladas. We really thought Taco Cabana would have beaten Julio's in a taste test. Save yourself time and money. If you want the 'view' there are plenty of restaurants next to it. If you want better and authentic TexMex, there are so many mom-pop taquerias around the corner. I regret I cannot give this establishment less than one star, which is what it warrants. read more

Food was great. Service is still a major issue at this location. Served the food with no plates or silverware. Slow to refill drinks. Restaurant was not busy at all. I guess it's ok if you only visit this location once a year or so. read more

Mediocre food. Cold fajitas. Messed up the order and brought enchiladas instead of fajitas. Other order of chicken enchiladas were ice cold. Then they charged us for an additional order of enchiladas. Waited 10 minutes for the server to come get my card. Never again! read more

The food is always good but the way they are handeling covid19 is way ridiculous. We come here all the time but this is our last time coming. The reason why we didnt leave is because we got here in two separate cars and our friend drove all the way from Sugarland. We had to wait for our table and you cant wait 1) inside and/or 2) under the tent. They suggest you go to your car or wait outside in benches by the water. I am pregnant and was carrying our 2 year old and they made no exceptions. We go to Pappasitos, El Tiempo, and Lupes and we have never been asked to wait in our cars or outside during the pandemic. I spoke to the manager and general manager and both of them claimed those rules come from the owner. Clearly, the owner doesn't know anything about customer service. If you come by uber, you either wait outside under the sun, rain etc or pay extra for your driver to wait for you until your table is ready. What a joke! read more

So due to COVID not a full menu do not expect to get white cheese dip or any dish with chorizo in it ! Forget about the piñata that they are known for. Only flour tortillas that made fresh now not corn .I will not go back till the full menu is back.

Here's my sorry excuse for an "enchilada" it was barely covered in the hatch sauce and hardly had any chicken in it. My other one looked more like half of one than a full one, all the filling was pushed to one side, but at least it had filling in it. Disappointed to say the least. This was also delivered via door dash. read more

I'll start by saying I have been to this location periodically since it opened. I have never been really sure what they were about until now. Maybe they are under new management or something but they seem to have hit their stride. Everything you would look for in service and quality was met with a high standard. The tables looked nice. The restaurant was clean and inviting. There wasn't a wait and the staff was attentive The food seemed to have an identity other than your standard fare and didn't disappoint. I appreciated all the details. If they keep this up I'll be back a lot more often. read more

I felt like the food tasted liked all the same thing no difference from rice to beans or enchilada. A little spicy for me Service was good. Probably will not go back there. Prices very high. read more

Let me start off by saying I love Mexican and Tex Mex food. This was our first visit to Uncle Julio's and I have to say I was underwhelmed. The decor and aroma were enticing when walked in the door. The service was very good but the taste of our food was so bland and flavorless. The other issue I have is that for the quality they seem overpriced But please let me restate the service was very good. read more

I know we are in a pandemic but um... Cmon what happened here. The portions are way smaller than before. My enchilada and steak plate came out and i swear it looked like a frozen tv dinner. Tasted like one too. The waitress brought our drinks out with more ice thank coke. It was just horrible not worth the $22 frozen tv dinner plate. Chips were good though. The queso with "beef fajita" lol more like velveta and ground beef. Sucks julios i really used to love ya now im not looking back. read more
