Uncle Julio’s Menu Prices (August 2026)

Can’t get enough of Tex-Mex food? If you live in the South, you might already be familiar with Uncle Julio’s, a Mexican restaurant chain that has been around for decades. All of the Tex-Mex staples are here–fajitas, nachos, and tacos, to name a few.

One reason why customers keep going back here is Uncle Julio’s uses fresh ingredients and supposedly makes their food from scratch. This gives their menu items a signature flavor since they have their own recipes for sauces and dips as well.

The recipes are also authentic–Uncle Julio’s first branch was launched in Texas, the home of Tex-Mex food. You can find Uncle Julio’s at Texas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Opening hours vary per location, but Uncle Julio’s is generally open from 11 a.m. up to 10 or 11 p.m. Delivery and to-go options are available. Still, dine-in can be an interesting experience because you can watch the chefs in the open kitchen or have your guacamole made right by your table.
