Julio’s Bar B Q

Their onion rings are the best – thick, crunchy and tasty. Great accompaniment to the chopped barbecue sandwich.

I ordered a Mexican plate from there once and got mystery meat inside my enchiladas. The best way to explain it was it had the texture of potted meat with chili seasonings. It wasn’t very good at all. The carne guisada was mushy with a bland taste to it. The side of rice was small as usual and hard. Beans were also small in portion and so so in taste. Nothing to brag about. Price at this restaurant is high consider the quality and small portions. This restaurant is really no different to the restaurant his brother runs across town Los Alamos.

Very good.
The picadillo was excellent (after I removed the fresh tomato and jalapeño) and the beef fajitas had a great flavor.
The only let down was that they do not have the glass Mexican Cokes like other traditional Mexican restaurants.

This was my second visit to Julio’s & I was disappointed to see that the salad bar was removed. I wanted yo try another menu item, so I ordered a combination plate the had one enchilada, a portion of carne guisada, charro beans & rice. The enchilada was good, but needed more chicken. The carne guisada had more sauce than meat, but had a good taste & the 3 small chunks of meat served was lean. The charro beans were good & flavorful, but the container it was served in was too shallow & small. In fact, the beans had more bacon than beans! Lol. I am not a big eater & don’t like big portions, but I felt my serving size over all was inadequate. One thing that is very good here are the home made desserts. I’ve heard the burgers & hand battered onion rings are good here. I might try it next time?

Ordered the chicken caldo for lunch. Ordered from the daily lunch special for 6.99. Corn tortillas were fresh and homemade. Would definitely recommend

Wow!!! This is exactly what we were looking for-couldn’t decide between steak, BBQ and Mexican. Score! All three! BBQ sauce is homemade and yummmm… Brisket tender. Fantastic borracho beans, nice hot sauce, fresh tortillas. Healthy portions, good prices. It’s pretty inside but plain outside and in an obscure place. Loved it!

Had breakfast in here on Saturday morning.
The sausage, egg, and cheese taco’s are as good as I’ve had anywhere else. Also had the Hobbs taco. Little known fact; it’s named for one of my relatives. It, too was pretty good.
The service was good, and everyone at the table was happy with their tacos.

!!!Avoid this place like the Plague!!!
This is NOT Mexican food, it’s Tex-​Mex. Mexican food has flavor.
Tex-​Mex food will cause your innards to spin like a Whirling Dervish.
I will be honest here. I have eaten at almost every dining emporium, bistro, café, luncheonette, supper club and noshery in Uvalde on more than one occcasion. I tried this awful food only once. It was the single worst dining experience of my life.
This review is being brought to you by Me AND my 170 lb. Great Dane/​Newfoundland mix dog, by proxy of course.
A co-​worker that I was dining with that day brought Julio’s leftovers to my house for the pooch as the small portion he was able to choke down was causing him great abdominal distress. I suggested he
try baking soda and water, and three rolaids but the malicious infirmity in his solar plexus persisted. Mind you, my esteemed colleague was born here and has the constitution of a Sasquatch.
The 2000 calorie a day eating behemoth canine ran away faster than if I had the Veterinarian with me and the bathtub was running. And this mutt will eat out of the kitty litter box!
While there things my cohort won’t eat and the hound will, I have never seen them both agree on what was or was not palatable.
Why is no stars not an option?

Holy Crap. Where is there to start with Julio’s? I grew up in Uvalde, and we’ve always had great Mexican food. In my opinion, Julios just raised the bar. Julio is the son of the owners of Los Alamos, which is another good local restaraunt, so he has worked in the business a while.
The enchiladas are the best i’ve ever had. Occasionally there is a weak batch that doesn’t hit the level they are capable of, but it’s never bad. I haven’t lived in Uvalde for about 6 years, and I am always craving Julios. Whenever I visit, it is not uncommon to visit anywhere from 3 – 6 times during the week stay. Aside from the mexican food, they have an excellent burger and great bar-​b-​q. I haven’t heard of anything being bad.
The décor is a little weak — yellow walls with a random assortment of framed paintings and such, but not much different from any Uvalde restaraunt. I personally like the vibe, i feel like they aren’t trying to over compensate.
