Uncle Julio's
Mexican · Dallas, TX
About
Hours run 11am to 10pm Sunday through Thursday, and until 11pm on Friday and Saturday, so you can swing by for lunch or a late dinner. Uncle Julio's is a Tex-Mex chain in Dallas's Oaklawn neighborhood, known for made-from-scratch border-style Mexican food. The vibe is relaxed and social, with a happy hour that pulls in a mixed gay and straight crowd. Don't skip the tableside guacamole, made fresh at your table, or the generous margaritas.
It's conveniently near Douglas Avenue, and if you're exploring Oaklawn, you could make a stop at Velvet Taco nearby for a different spin on Mexican flavors. The atmosphere is casual and buzzy, and the moderate price point means you can eat well without stretching your budget. Weekdays tend to be quieter, while weekends bring a livelier crowd.
