Our Story
We opened our first restaurant with a simple commitment to fresh ingredients and handcrafted recipes.
Made-From-Scratch
Fresh ingredients. Handcrafted recipes.
We opened our first restaurant with a simple commitment to fresh ingredients and handcrafted recipes. From the very beginning, we served mesquite-grilled fajitas, crave-able guacamole, and other Tex-Mex favorites.
Whether guests are celebrating with family, meeting over lunch, or on a date, they have a welcoming atmosphere at Uncle Julio’s.

Our Inspired Creations
It didn’t stop with the swirl. Since, we’ve filled Chocolate Piñatas, paired guacamole with unique flavor combinations, and evolved how guests can engage with our restaurants. We’ve never stopped raising the bar so that Uncle Julio’s continues to offer a memorable experience for all our guests.
