Julio's rocks!!! The gordo platter is to die for ~ you can ask for all steak on the flajitas vs. chicken and steak. The ribs are smokey and WOW ~ all we do is crave them. The butter that you dip your shrimp into just clings to the shrimp, instead of just dripping right off. What am I typing this for, I need to get in my car and drive there!!! Tres Tequilla - do it - do it - do it...

Ths place is soooooo good. Great atmosphere, excelent food and margrita's that rock!!! If you want Mexican.... go Unlce Juilo's!!!

I ate at uncle Julios w/ my family tonight, it is my birthday! anyway i left my camera in booth 84 and called 10 minutes later and the manager said it was not there! She was extremely rude and not helpful! I had just taken pictures of my kids picking out their pumpkins before dinner, this will be the first year in 9 that i will not have the pictures of them doing this family tradition. I think Sylvia the manager could have tried a little harder to help me locate my camera!!!

It is, what it is!
If you are looking for a high quality Tex Mex restaurant - this is the spot. It is a dressed up version of Chevy's. Solid Fajita's - even without the green peppers another reviewer felt were lacking.

Best Mexican restaurant in the burbs.
A tad pricey, but worth it if you are in the mood for Mexican. Interesting dishes made with quality ingredients and great service.

It's really not Mexican!
If you are looking for an authentic Mexican dish you will not find it at Uncle Julio's. They do serve big portions and their food is good, not the best Mexican food, but good. The Swirl (margarita & sangria) is the best and their cajeta ice cream is great!
Recommended: the shrimp and a swirl

Spectacular
WOW! From the light and tasty chips and salsa, right down to the last bite of the HUGE combo platter this was a dinning experience to remember. Authentic, well presented, great tasting and modestly priced food.

Good Tex-Mex Cuisine
Been there several times, the service has always been excellent. The food is the closest I've found to real Tex-Mex since leaving Texas 17 years ago(that and the weather is all I miss). If you're interested in an EXCELLENT Margarita try the Julio's Gold! It is a bit on the pricey side, but the plates are big and FULL!! The chips are excellent although the salsa could use some spice for my taste.

That best!
This is absolutely the best commercial Mexican restaurant that I've ever had. It's almost as good as an authentic Mexican restaurant. The salsa and chips are to die for!

Delicious
Everything is made right there in the restaurant. The BEST tamales I've ever had. The Queso Flameado is absolutely fantastic. The chips and salsa are free flowing and wonderful. Most of the items have a mesquite flavor. The entrees can be pricey but definitely worth trying.

My Favorite Mexican
Yuuuuum! I used to live within a long walk and now drive over an hour just to enjoy the Plato Gordo (sp?). The Fajitas are my favorite ever. A cross between Mexican and American. Long strips of chicken or steak, individually grilled, with a pleasing smoky flavor.

Just Keep Driving..and Don't Look Back
Had the fajitas. The absolute WORST I have ever had. Marinated chicken was very tender but bland. They do not offer peppers with the fajitas. Just two large rings of onion that you have to cut up yourself. They charge extra for the cheese & sour cream. Absolutely tasteless and extremely overpriced. Came with some sort of bean soup that tasted like it came straight out of Campbell's soup can.
Recommended: Nothing...PERIOD!!!
