About this restaurant

Romantic
Good for special occasions
Neighbourhood gem

Uncle Julio’s is a Mexican from scratch kitchen serving only the freshest ingredients. Specialties: chicken & steak fajitas, tender filet mignon, and bacon wrapped shrimp. Other favorites include: seafood fajitas, shrimp al pastor, and ahi tuna served with homemade corn tortillas or bibb lettuce.

Uncle Julio’s menu also includes Tex-Mex classics such as tacos, enchiladas & tamales all with a selection of sauces made daily. Insider tip: order the tableside guacamole. It’s prepared for you at your table; if you like it spicy kick it up a notch with fresh chopped jalapenos.

Uncle Julio’s has a vast drink selection. Try our fresh margarita of the day, made to order with fresh fruit. If you prefer a frozen drink then the Swirl is definitely the perfect choice. The Swirl is frozen sangria & frozen margarita layered together dating back to 1987.

My husband and I had been anxiously awaiting the opening of this restaurant for months. We thought that it was associated with Hacienda Colorado. The salsa has a very different flavor than Hacienda Colorado. It had a smokier flavor. It was alright but not what I was expecting. Food was good but expensive. We had a reservation and were sat right next to the bathroom so constantly had people walking by our table which we did not appreciate in light of the current health scare. The server did share the policy changes to make the restaurant safer which was appreciated. Overall our experience was fine. I probably would drive further to Hacienda Colorado to get their salsa that I love versus going back to Uncle Julios which is much closer in proximity.

We were super stoked to try this place out since we live in the area. Great huge building with awesome ambience that lacks in the department of service! We waited over 30 minutes for our drinks (they had 1 bartender on for the whole place!) and 0 acknowledgment from the managers that there was a problem. Food was good but there overpriced chocolate piñata was sub standard with rock hard churros and a few French fries...

The food was very good. It was a lot, so my boyfriend and I shared the fajita special. And, it was plenty of food. The tableside glaucamole is very well done. And, the drinks are very good. The wait staff is still learning, but did a great job. We will come back! Good deals at happy hour, too!
