Reviews for Uncle Julio's Old Orchard in Allen, TX
Great experience!! All six of us were happy with our plates. Fajitas cooked perfectly - beef medium rare, chicken very moist... Taco salad bowl was fun! Love the salsa and chips. Service was wonderfully efficient and respectful, even though they were verybusy. Read more
The wait was not long although they had a steady crowd and full restaurant. The chips and dip was delicious. The food was... plentiful and filling. I highly suggest asking for the jalapeño ranch dip. I ordered a three soft taco meal and it came withbeans and rice for $14. I would definitely come back. (Side note: my husband said some of the chips tasted funny to him but Ididn’t experience this. I did see a few burnt chips and maybe that’s why he said that…) Otherwise it was a good aestheticand great food and great service for me personally. I also appreciate the pay at your table technology. Read more
Friendly service was the only thing they had going for them. We got sat and the table looked sticky. Server was nice, he came by... every few minutes to check on us. The food was OK, nothing to get excited about. We both tried fajita plates as that's what'sadvertised as their specialty. My pork was dry and the sauce was a bit sweet. My wife's beef looked like mush. The cast ironplates were hot, but not sizzling. With Tex-Mex dominating area eateries, the bar is kinda high and this place missed. Read more
If this review was based solely on the food and “atmosphere” I would give it 4 stars; however, this location is SO busy…... wait times are excessive even with a reservation (seated 20 min after our designated time). Also… random — but the kitchendoor has an excruciatingly annoying squeak every time it is opened (which is constantly) that could be heard throughout theentire restaurant. Some WD40 might do it some good? ???? SERVICE: Our waitress started out being attentive and then didn’tshow up for the last half of our visit. She did apologize which I appreciated but waiting around another 15+ min after finishingdinner for a to go box was tedious. Wouldn’t recommend visiting on a Friday evening due to how busy and most likelyshort-staffed they are. FOOD: The chips were tasty, salsa was a universal kind of yummy. The platinum swirl margs were good butthe size was disappointingly small for the price. Fajitas were really good minus the three small choking-sized pieces of bonehidden in multiple strips of my chicken fajitas. In all, I’d give this place another shot but would plan for a weekdayinstead of weekend visit! And pleaseee fix the squeaky kitchen door. Read more
Used to be a top favorite of mine…. Have been to this location over 30 times…. However the last two times service, food... quality, and presentation has become hugely lacking… tonight (Tuesday night) service was super slow, even though not much wasgoing on in the restaurant…took forever for drinks and queso to come out! Queso was already cold and hard when it hit thetable… then fajitas also came out cold with zero sizzle to speak of (in fact meat looked dry as though they had sat under theheat lamp for a while)! Chocolate piniada came out great….otherwise not much else went right….oh and with all lacking itemsticket still had 25% gratuity on it for 4 people!??? ??????? Read more
Visiting again.. the restaurant is really good and the service is super fast. Must try the guacamole here it's really fresh and... tasty. The cheese enchiladas, fajitas, chips and salsa everything is really good. But they are pricey menu. Their desserts aregreat but didn't order that. As I was already full Read more
What a wonderful dining experience! As always the tortillas were delicious and the beef fajita meat was tender. The food was... excellent but the service was even better. Jose was prompt and pleasant. He made sure my drink was never empty and had a smilethroughout our meal. Uncle Julio’s has a great reward program (check it out if you haven’t). Buzz the manager helped us withour ticket and he was super! Roberto came by to check on our table and had us laughing. The team here is great. Read more
his place is consistently a staple with amazing food. I usually purchase the combination fajitas with steak and chicken, but... this time I purchased the steak only. It’s always enough food to split the meal in half and enjoy the rest of the food later.Every entree comes with beans and rice as well. I opted for black beans without pork. It was delicious. I’m happy I can go toany of their locations and have the same great food. I can’t wait to go back! The service was great as well Read more
