" My friends and I recently ate at Uncle Julio’s, and while we enjoyed the overall vibe, the service left a bit to be desired. It took longer to get our drinks than we anticipated. The food was flavorful and fresh, with the carne asada being the highlight! However, we are hopeful that service improves because we like the food and the atmosphere. I’d recommend it but with a slight caution regarding service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Uncle Julio's, given its good reputation, but unfortunately, the experience just fell flat. Our food was tasty, but the portion sizes were surprisingly small for the price. We also experienced some hiccups in service, which detracted from the overall experience. I may return in the future to give it another chance, as I believe in second chances, but it was not very impressive during this visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family loves Uncle Julio's! Every time we come, the food consistently meets our expectations. The kids enjoy their meals from the kid’s menu, and we appreciate the attention to detail with their dishes. Service has generally been good, but we've had mixed experiences with wait times. Overall, a fun family outing spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an exceptional dinner at Uncle Julio's last night! The atmosphere was vibrant, and the food was authentic and fresh. I highly recommend trying the chicken enchiladas. They burst with flavor! Our server was friendly and attentive, making sure we were well taken care of. I will be returning soon for more deliciousness! " (*Curated Review*)

" Uncle Julio's always delivers high-quality food. I visited for lunch, and the steak tacos I ordered were succulent, and the house-made tortillas were a highlight! It was quite busy, but the staff was friendly, albeit a bit stretched. I still got my food promptly; just a reminder to be patient during peak hours. Lively place with a good ambiance.

" Uncle Julio's has become my go-to for Mexican food after shopping at Woodfield Mall. I have to say the chips and homemade guacamole are to die for. I tried the fajitas, and while they tasted fresh, I wished they could have been a bit spicier. The staff was friendly and provided great service. Overall, I'm happy with the experience and will keep coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a mixed bag! The food at Uncle Julio’s is some of the best Mexican I have ever tasted with authentic flavors that transport you straight to Mexico - I can't rave enough about the grilled shrimp tacos! However, our service felt rushed, and the staff seemed overwhelmed. Despite the busy environment, it seemed odd that we waited a long time for our drinks. I would return for the food but hope for better service next time. " (*Curated Review*)
