Tex-Mex chain serving mesquite-grilled fare & margarita-sangria swirls in a hacienda-style space.

Ok so its nice on the inside, they first seated us by the bathroom that smells like sewage then at a both that had a big puddle under it. Then brought chips n salsa, salsa not very good. Not authentic Mexican food. I got the queso birria just don’t order it not tasty and it comes with very bland coleslaw of all things. My daughter decide to try i think like a chimichanga but whatever it was it was made with egg roll wrap. So needless to say it was all disappointing and we will not go back, and it is very high price and not authentic. It is a mexican restraunt for people who don’t know better. Our server was good.

This is a solid Tex-Mex restaurant! Food is very good and full of flavors you want! Not greasy or oily if fried, not swimming in sauce either.
All the dishes our party ordered were great!
The guacamole made fresh at the table is always a nice touch.
Any thing that comes with Habenaro Pineapple salsa, get it! So good!
El Jefe margarita is the only way to go! Delicious!
Will for sure make this a stop when I am in the area again. Check it out and don’t fill up on chips.

Was very disappointed in my lunchtime visit to this location. When the tortilla soup showed up immediately, noticed there were about 5 to 6 pieces of chicken in the entire bowl. Going further, the soup was very bland lacking any kind of seasoning. And the top it off, it was only lukewarm.
Onto the combo, while the basic flavors were there due to the tomatillo sauce, it also lacked any kind of salt and pepper seasoning. And to continue the trend, the food was also lukewarm.
And what made it even more disappointing, after speaking to two of the employees about it, and being told, the manager would be told and asked to come to my table, manager couldn’t find any time to show up.

We tried the taco set, and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were fresh and authentic, and everything was perfectly seasoned. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. Definitely a great spot for anyone who loves real Mexican food!

We’ve dined at Uncle Julio’s for dinner within the past year and the food was great, however this evening was a different experience. We arrived between 5:30-6:00 pm. The dining area was not crowded and we were immediately seated. The hostess was very nice and friendly and made us feel welcome. Once seated, it took 10-15 min for the server to arrive to take our drink order. While waiting for the server to return, we began to smell something weird – like sewage. Not sure where it was coming from and he had no idea either. We ordered enchiladas, chicken fajitas with Mexican rice and a margarita trio flight. The enchiladas were good but the chicken was dry and bland. I reordered the same dish and it was no different. The server apologized and removed the items from our ticket. Needless to say, we will not be returning.

Disappointed in Cleanliness
We are normally big fans of Chewy’s, but decided to try Uncle Julio’s for lunch today.
When we walked into the lobby, we noticed the air vents near the entrance had visible dirt buildup, which immediately made us question the overall air quality. Because it was such a beautiful day, we chose to sit on the patio.
Our waitress was fantastic — very attentive, friendly, and quick with chips and salsa. She did a great job.
Unfortunately, the cleanliness issues continued. I had already finished one glass of tea and was halfway through my second before I noticed how dirty the glass was — the inside of the glass was visibly filthy. Not fingerprints on the outside, but buildup inside the glass itself. I even wiped a smudge away with my finger. It was clearly not properly cleaned. That completely turned us off and we lost our appetite halfway through the meal.
We asked to speak with the manager to show him the glasses. He apologized and said he appreciated us letting him know, but the response felt less than sincere.
The food was okay. The service from our waitress was great. But cleanliness is non-negotiable for us. Based on this experience, we won’t be returning.

We just finished eating at Uncle Julio’s in Allen, and it was hands down the best Tex-Mex experience we’ve had! If you go, definitely stop by the bar and see Omar, or ask for Peter as your server. These two are legendary in the DFW area for their exceptional service. When they’re working, you’ll almost always find a wait for seats in their section, and for good reason!

I’m not sure what the 4 star ratings are all about. It isn’t authentic Mexican and isn’t trying to be. The tortillas are amazing, the fajita meat is smoked and yummy, I love their chili con carne sauce for their enchiladas. Charro beans are great, rice is yummy when mixed with the beans. Queso and tortillas is addicting. Great ice tea. It’s a big commercial chain so if you are looking for some small cafe that has a little old grandmas recipes this isn’t it. But that’s ok. It is good and their offering leaves you satisfied.
