I’d give another star for the service if I could. I asked for a menu instead of using the disliked “scan QR with your phone” version of a menu. Out came a freshly disinfected tablet in a blue case. A tablet actually makes a decent menu, without having to zoom and scroll like you’re playing a really bad “Where’s Waldo” game. Chips and salsa is an appetizer, the chips are thick and chunky. The red and green salsas were surprisingly tasty with very very little heat. The chicken mole enchiladas came out quickly and were excellent. They looked good and the tortillas were chewy without being too chewy. Plenty of well seasoned chicken, a great mole that they didn’t skimp on, drizzled sour cream and sprinkles of cheese made for one of the best enchilada mole plates I’ve had. The rice wasn’t dry and had a great seasoning that went really well with the mole. Best of all, I was full but not stuffed when I finished the plate. The house margarita was decent, but the food was excellent and the service was better. Go here.

This was our first time at this place, my husband saw it on Instagram and it didn’t disappoint, the food was delicious, a great atmosphere, and our waiter( Tyler) was polite and helpful. Also, kid-friendly my daughter loved the food and she is very picky. I recommend this place

If you haven’t tried Uli’s yet, you need to! It is fantastic. The food is exceptional and the uniqueness of the menu refreshing-especially the aquachile appetizers and grandmama recipe items. The service and the margaritas are also distinguishing. Our new to go Mexican restaurant. And happy hour from 2-6.

This was our first time here. The food was very authentic and the flavors were on point. This isn’t TexMex. This is real food and it’s delicious. The service was good as well.

Small details make a huge impact. From opening the doors for each guest to the chef coming out to say hello to the waitstaff being engaging with their customers this place knows how to make a dinner feel relaxed and enjoyable. Be sure to get both dessert options otherwise you’ll sad you only choose one! Really the food is next level delicious!!!

The service was a little bit slower than I would like. But this place was worth the wait! Every dish was complex and delicious. You could tell that they take time to develop flavors and care that every ingredient sings. This food is a labor of love, and it shows. I can’t complain about anything, as everything we ate was superb, and made by a staff that obviously cares about their craft. Well done Uli, we’ll be back!

The food here is pretty good but if you have to eat gluten free be careful. While they say many items are gluten free I wouldn’t be so sure. Specifically the “corn” taco shells. I’m pretty sure that they have wheat flour along with corn. They need to check with their suppliers because they don’t make them there in the restaurant and they definitely taste like they contain wheat. I get sick every time I’ve eaten here . Darn!

I drove up from League City to hangout with my bestie of 45 years. She had read how great this Restaurant was. Well it’s fabulous from the Mango Margarita to our main course. This isn’t Tex Mex. This is real Mexican flavors from the interior of Mexico. Enjoy
