Dallas TX Trip: Uncle Julio's Fine Mexican Food

Uncle Julio's Fine Mexican Food, a Texas chain of great TexMex cuisine. The one we went to was located at 4125 Lemmon Avenue, Dallas TX 75219, 214-520-6620. We started with the fried calamari appetizer. Filled with flavor and not too greasy. I ordered the Sonora Platter, 1 enchilada, 1 taco and 1 tamale. TexMex is so different from the Baja style I grew up with. It's got a smokey taste and today was spicier and perhaps on the salty side. For dessert, artist Mona Kasra and I shared a Cajeta, a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream decked out with crushed pecans and coconut and drenched with caramel. Yikes, I couldn't finish it the whole meal was so rich.
