Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrated across the country from Sept. 15 through Oct. 15, honors contributions of Hispanic Americans. This month, Uncle Julio’s celebrates the Latino, Hispanic and Latinx communities by highlighting the mission of The Concilio in Dallas and dedicating $1 from each Tableside Guacamole ordered to create a donation of up to $5,000 for the non-profit that builds stronger communities by unlocking opportunities for Latino families.

“In Latino culture, food brings us together, so we are excited to help our guests come together in support of an important local non-profit,” said Ron Vasquez, vice president of culinary for Uncle Julio’s. “As part of our celebration of Hispanic culture and heritage, we are honored to bring the message of The Concilio into our restaurants and directly to our guests.”

Uncle Julio’s also is giving guests a taste of the influence of Hispanic culture by showcasing elements of art, design and experience found at Uncle Julio’s, including the custom mural created by well-known Mexican artist Claudio Limon, Spanish Flamenco guitar music, art featuring celebrated Mexican matadors, the mysterious “Lady in Red,” decorative items and elements imported from Mexico and tools like the Molcajete and the Tortilla Press, which are rooted in Hispanic culture. 

Through Nov. 1, guests can log on to UncleJulios.com/Heritage where they can learn about the inspiration behind the Uncle Julio’s brand; by dining at Uncle Julio's and noting elements of Hispanic culture that make the restaurant, food and service so popular; or by placing to-go orders online at UncleJulios.com and receiving Hispanic Heritage Month info in the orders.

Guests may contribute to The Concilio by ordering a Tableside Guacamole at Uncle Julio’s. Guests select mix-ins while the server mashes the fresh avocado and mixes the guacamole by hand tableside. $1 from each Tableside Guacamole ordered Sept. 15 through Nov. 1 will benefit The Concilio in Dallas. When guests order, their server brings all the freshness to the table via a custom kitchen cart. Guests then select from a variety of ingredients, to  add to their Hass avocados. The server mashes the avocadoes with the ingredients in a traditional molcajete, made from volcanic rock and used in the production of traditional Mexican dishes such as salsa and guacamole. The guacamole is served with fresh corn chips. Tableside Guacamole is $15.
