Best Frozen Margarita's Ever. The food was pretty good but the Margarita's were to die for. Very clean and fun place. Loved it...

Great Mexican in Lincoln Park. I would give 5 stars, but the wait is long on the weekends and a mess at the counter, people will walk in front of you and give their name. Kinda unfair, huh? But the food rocks! Homemade tortillas right there being made while you eat. Never had a bad meal. Went with friends and they loved it as well. Try to go during the week, much better, dining room is loud and you will have a better time when not so crowded.

Favoriate mexican!. I have been frequenting this palce for years in the lombard area and love it. aside form the long wait on weekends, the drinks are great and the food is very tasty. I reccomend the soup and carne asada. The fresh chips are also great, they are usually still warm! Great place for a famiy or a friends gathering.

Amazing. I don't see why people are complaining about the authenticity. If you take the five seconds to click on the link to their website it clearly states "Border-style Mexican Food" aka Tex-mex. This business casual restaurant is great starting with the unique grilled salsa all the way to the freshly made desserts! Everything tastes very fresh and the few times I've had a problem it was handled right away without a problem. Obviously this place wouldn't be so packed after being open for 17 years if it was so horrible.

Authentic Mexican???. Food not Authentic Mexican as advertised, Pepe's would have been a better choice. Taco's dinner price is outrageous @ $16.00-$17.00 without tax for only two (2) Taco's and if you like Sour Cream it will cost you an extra $2.00. The Sauce for the Enchiladas had a Funky taste which left an extremely bad after taste.

Chips were light and crispy but Salsa had been processed to a liquid form. No wonder it was free!

I do not understand how this establishment received high reviews. I would not recommend Uncle Julio's to anyone!
