Julio's Bar BQ

Their barbacoa by the pound is amazing! Not too fatty but not too lean. The fresh corn tortillas miiiiiiight be better than La Reina!

Service is quick and fast which is a huge plus for the area. I get tacos in the AM for my kids and I sneak in a couple every once in a while for myself. The tortilla is too thick for my liking but the fillings are on point. Haven't tried lunch or dinner.

Food is okay, but the portions are small for the price, even during these times. I paid $14 for a plate and left hungry. I think they are a bit miserly when it comes to tortillas. It is clean and service is good.

Haven't tried anything else, but they do have the Best Picadillo Tacos EVER! No, seriously. I drive there from SATX just for these tacos because they are that good.

Arrived at Julio's Mexican Grill, 5801 S Getty St., Uvalde, Texas 78801, 1-830/594-2099, early morning for breakfast on 9-22-2020. There were several cars in this parking lot, usually an indication that this place might have a good menu. When we went in we noticed the place had many customers. There was only one waitress (Ashley) that morning and she was very efficient and was able to provide excellent customer service to all the customers. She was at every table serving the breakfast plates and pouring coffee. There had to be 20-25 customers there and she never missed a beat. I was impressed! I ordered one Chorizo and egg taco and it was huge with plenty of eggs and chorizo. It was very good! I also did something I've never done before at a Mexican Restaurant, I ordered coffee. Every Mexican restaurant I've ever been to has exceptionally lousy coffee. I was pleasantly surprised as the coffee was great! I queried my table mates and they agreed the coffee was very good! Great place you all might want to try.

The best Tampiqueñia I've ever had. They use a real steak! Lots of food. My wife had the pollo con queso. Very unique. She loved it. The staff is friendly and do a good job. They now have a buffet. Great place.

I'm shocked I have not rated this place sooner because I literally live 35 minutes away yet every time I'm in Uvalde we eat here. The outside is deceiving because it looks deceptive but it's a clean beautiful decor inside. Always hopping with great service. Now for the food. I think it has the best variety, value and great tasting food in Uvalde. There is something for everyone. Our favorites are the Monday green chili enchiladas. I've eaten hundreds of green enchiladas over the past 50 years. These are the BEST! Other favorites are stuffed pepper steak which we get the home fries ( delicious) with the small upcharge of queso . This also comes with a side salad to start. Again- one of the best we have ever had. The description of Julio's says barbecue which we only had once and it was great on the tacos. I've never had their breakfast tacos but the drive thru is always busy with the take out tacos. The sandwhiches, chicken fried chicken and big salads are great too because the salad dressings taste home made. The only thing I had that was basic was the cheese enchiladas but everything is usually great. Great service, great food, great variety and great prices.

went there for breakfast this morning, they were shorthanded on servers. However; you wouldn't know it, the food and service was on point as usual. I know the servers were overwhelmed; but they succeeded on serving everyone there with a smile and great food.

Foods good and service was a lil slow but overall it was worth the wait. I am differently going again

Good food but the family enchilada dinner now cost $60, during covid it was $30. Cheese beans and rice haven't gone up that much Julio.
