UNCLE JULIO'S TURNS 40 AND TAKES PRICES BACK TO 1986

For one day only, guests can enjoy special anniversary offerings celebrating the restaurants 40-year legacy

DALLAS, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Uncle Julio's Mexican from Scratch, founded in 1986 and known for its fresh, made-from-scratch Mexican cuisine, will celebrate its 40-year anniversary on Tuesday, November 17^th with an invitation to step back in time. For one day only, Uncle Julio's will turn back the clock with nostalgic 1986 prices on its signature fajitas, introduce a specially crafted new top-shelf Ruby-flavored margarita, and offer commemorative branded giveaways celebrating the restaurant's four decades of service.

"The first Uncle Julio's was opened in Dallas with a simple commitment to fresh ingredients and handcrafted recipes, and we have never swayed from that mission. Uncle Julio's continues to serve made-from scratch Mexican cuisine, using only fresh ingredients and authentic recipes," says Uncle Julio's Culinary Artisan of 35-years Rafael Romero. "Today we have 31 stores across 11 states and look forward to serving our legacy customers and welcoming new guests for the next 40 years!"

Renowned for its memorable dining experiences and interactive menu, Uncle Julio's has been creating signature favorites since its inception. In 1986, its iconic lime-and-sangria Swirl Margarita was introduced, and the beloved, exclusive Chocolate Piñata, a made-by-hand chocolate globe filled with homemade mini churros, fresh pineapple and strawberries, was first served nearly a decade ago.

Uncle Julio's will celebrate its 40th anniversary with a one-day celebration on Tuesday, November 17, from 11:00 a.m. to 9 p.m. at all locations. Guests can join the festivities with an exclusive menu created especially for this milestone occasion:

• Signature Fajitas – a variety of the mouthwatering staple will return to their original 40-year-ago prices starting at $8.14.
• Ruby Margarita - a new signature anniversary hibiscus cinnamon margarita featuring premium 1800 Tequila and Grand Marnier. Balanced with a hint of agave and finished with Fee Foam.
• Commemorative Giveaways – the first 40 guests at each restaurant ordering from the Limited Edition 40^th Anniversary Menu will receive a commemorative Uncle Julio's T-shirt.

"For 40-years, Uncle Julio's has been part of the communities in which it serves. This anniversary celebrates the people, the food and memories that made those 40-years possible. We are grateful beyond words," concluded Romero.
