Reviews for Uncle Julio's Old Orchard in Lubbock, TX
This place I’d fabulous. The food is fresh, bountiful and tastes phenomenal. There are several managers roaming the main... dining room making sure everything is just right for everybody. We met the GM and he made sure my wife’s order wasperfect. He even shared a little secret as to how the ground beef gained its wonderful taste. I tell you this place isunforgettable. Read more
FANTASTIC FOOD. All fresh made right there. They also make guacamole right at your table again! We love the environment and the... food is phenomenal. Sydney was our waitress this last visit and she is quick and efficient. She kept our table clean, our drinksfilled, and never let herself get too busy for our table, which is AMAZING, considering she had so many tables. "Uncle Julio",or the guacamole maker, was hilarious and everything we ate was delicious. Much attention to detail and the way ingredientscompliment each other. Sydney was great. We appreciate her ???? Read more
Amazing flavors as usual, the new Barbaco beef quesilla is absolutely out of this world amazing! 5 stars for sure. Chips... amazing, we also ordered the steak fajita for 2. Some of the Meat was somewhat gristle and hard to chew. That why I give the 4stars on food. I couldn't eat it. And I love UJ's fajitas. All flavors were wonderful to the palate. I think their quality ifmeat went down a little. Read more
A 3.5 the food was okay. The fajitas are an easy 2.5 our of 5. The chicken felt like it was just a chicken breast no flavor. The... steak fajita was like rosas Cafe fajita. The tacos was good the tortillas excellent they are homemade. Camarones a la Diabla wasgreat. The server was awesome I think that is what gave the restaurant a better review. The building was nice can't complainbetter then abuelos. We had a good time we ordered the piñata dessert well worth the $33 bucks. Read more
We had heard mixed reviews from friends about Uncle Julio's in Lubbock, but for Valentine's Day my better half decided we needed... to try it out. The atmosphere of the restaurant is outstanding! We sat in the bar area. Our waiter/waitress was okay. Theyseemed a little unsure about how to approach guests--especially when circling back around to check on them. We went knowing theprices were going to be higher, but didn't realize how much higher. Once we saw the prices, I think our expectations becamemuch higher. The chips were good. In my opinion, the salsa is not your traditional Tex-Mex salsa. For our entrees, I ordered achicken tortilla bowl and my better half ordered two enchiladas. The chicken tortilla bowl looked so good. However, it tastedno better than a chicken tortilla bowl one could order at Taco Villa for $6.59 or Chipotle for $8.10 (fast food). Unfortunately, my better half's enchiladas were nothing special for $14.50. For Tex-Mex food, we will stick to The Plaza,Garcia's, Picoso's, Abuelo's, or Albarran's. For more traditional Mexican food, we will stick with El Malecon & El Mitote's. We decided Uncle Julio's is the place to go for special occasions to get the yummy dessert piñata with your family and pass onthe actual meal. Sometimes you pay for the name of a restaurant and the atmosphere. I think that is the case with UncleJulio's. Read more
The food wasn't bad, but didn't feel like it was worth the price. Sadly the service was lacking as well. Atmosphere was very... nice however. Read more
Everything was fantastic here at Uncle Julio's. It was a tad pricey, however I'm not complaining because everything we had was... great. It was awesome watching the ladies cutting and spooning out the avocados. It doesn't get much fresher than that!!! Idefinitely recommend. Read more
The atmosphere here is great! Of course it's not authentic Mexican food, but it's still good none the less. Chips are nice and... thin and are great with the salsa. Salsa has definitely been revised since the first time I went and it's definitely better.Love the decor here and the margaritas are great. Been several times and never had a bad experience other than one server. My goto are the Street Tacos or the Carnitas Tacos and the Steak Fajita Bowl. My mom got the Fresca Salad and it was great as well. Read more
