Uncle Julio's To Open 1st NJ Location In Bridgewater Tuesday

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — Uncle Julio's will be celebrating its grand opening for its first New Jersey location at the Bridgewater Commons on Tuesday.

Located at 400 Commons Way in Bridgewater, Uncle Julio’s will serve made-from-scratch Mexican cuisine using fresh ingredients. There is also an interactive menu that includes watching guacamole made table-side, looking into the open kitchen to see dishes being prepared, or cracking open a Chocolate Piñata.

"Interactive experiences make for incredible memories, and that’s our specialty," Harper Caron, president of Uncle Julio’s, said. "We start with made-from-scratch freshness and pair that with a focus on guest experience to create something special and unforgettable."

The restaurant will be a mix of Old World Mexican and modern industrial décor with finishes including barn wood, stone, oak and exposed brick.

Group dining is also available where guests can book a large private dining room that can accommodate up to 40 people, or a semi-private dining area that can seat up to 30. To-go options are also available.

There will also be outdoor dining available with a patio that can accommodate up to 88 diners and a fire pit in the outdoor lounge area.

The restaurant is taking the place of McCormick & Schmick's that closed in January 2019.
