Reviews for Uncle Julio's North Ave in Chicago, IL
Food was great and the atmosphere fun, kitschy Mexico. Had tableside guacamole which rocked! Was a little disappointed because... they say "fresh from scratch" but all meats are pre-marinated, so I wasn't able to get anything without seasoning exceptvegetable fajitas. Not a big deal though. Service was fast and friendly though. They have a parking lot and do havecomplimentary valet Monday thru Friday. Read more

Valet, hostess and waitress were welcoming, helpful and competent. The food tasted really good and the ambience is a delight. ... The fish tacos seemed light and they were very flavorful. Read more
Walked in on a Saturday an hour after opening, not busy at all. Waiter was prompt and provided house chips and salsa. I had a... jalapeno margarita with chicken/steak fajitas. Fajitas were good. The margarita didn't have much heat, but was delicious. Therestaurant has a parking lot that is $7 valet. I left a bit after 2pm, and the crowd had picked up by then. Read more
The family came to celebrate my Mother's Heavenly Birthday. She passed in July of 2021. Uncle Julio's was literally one of her... favorite restaurants. So we traveled from different distances to celebrate her.. I only gave 4 stars because of a couple thingsI didn't like about our visit. Issue 1 was we ordered tables idea quacamole and it was never brought out and still somehow madeit to the final bill. Issue 2 was the fact that the food seemed much spicier than normal. Issue 3 my fish tacos were fallingapart so I couldn't enjoy them. Issue 4 was when it came time for the bill my Aunt had an issue with the bill and spoke with themanager about it. I didn't particularly care for the tone he took with her to attempt to rectify the issue. I won't go lowerthan 4 cause the food was good, the guacamole order was removed... and valet was swift on getting us on our way. Read more
The service sucks!! They were exceptionally slow when bringing our food out in portions! The food got cold while waiting for the... tortillas. They didn't remember to bring me a spoon. I was waiting for over 5 minutes and still when we requested a manager hetook forever to come. He only came because me and my sisters had stood up, we was about to leave since they never bought mysisters tortillas. The manager came then. We told him that they never bought the tortillas and the food got cold. We no longerwant any of it. We left and I will never go back to Uncle Julios after this!! Read more
Walked in and got a table in 20 mins. The food did not disappoint. The service is great and this location was filled with... birthday parties. They are known for their fajitas and margaritas! Give it a try if you are in the area. Definitely recommend! Read more
Last Saturday was my second or third time at Uncle Julio’s and it was a good experience. I made a reservation shortly before I... and then rest of my party arrived and thankfully a table was ready when we got there, so we were seated right after beinggreeted by the friendly hostess with no wait time. Our waiter, Augustino, (or Augustine?) was great. One of the members in mygroup has an allergy to gluten, and though there was no dedicated gluten-free menu, when asked, Augustino was able to,patiently, come up with items that they could safely consume. After serving the rest of the table with the complimentary chipsand salsa, he surprised us/my friend with a basket of chopped vegetables saying something how everyone should be able to snack.A very thoughtful gesture. He remained attentive and personable for the remainder of the meal. Besides an issue of my initiallybeing given the wrong food, we enjoyed our individual meals: Al pastor fajitas, barbacoa (sp) fajitas, and fish tacos. Nothingtoo amazing as far as the taste goes, but they hit the spot. I also had a couple glasses of their special cranberry applemartini, which though it seemed low on alcohol, was very delicious. Decent food at decent prices, standard decor in a clean andupbeat environment, with a great staff/service - I recommend. Read more
