Reviews for Uncle Julio's Vernon Hills in Vernon Hills, IL

I visited for my birthday. The fajitas were delicious and filling. The chicken and salsa were fresh. The portion size was for 2... in my opinion. I took the rest for a carry out. My server was attentive. You can't go wrong with Uncle Julio's. Read more

We absolutely love dining here! My personal favorite dishes are the fish tacos and shrimp tacos. If you like spicy, I would... suggest the El Hefe margarita. They recently added the Tuesday table taco bar and we loved it! Read more

Service was really nice, as was the entire vibe of the restaurant. Definitely a cool place to hangout and spend time with... friends and family. The food, however, was eh. The steak fajitas were a little bland, the rice had been left in the microwavetoo long and as such hard, the tortillas were a little undercooked and just not good ones. The chicken and fresh guacamole wasreally good though! The food overall wasn’t bad but considering the price, yea not worth it. Read more

First time here since 2019 due to the pandemic. 4 stars on our prior visits, loved the chocolate pinada. They were understaffed... just like everyone else. Our server was very nice and did their best. The food was no where near as good compared to priorvisits. My enchilada resembled the texture of hard cardboard and was cold. Guacmole was was the worst I’ve ever had, sent itback after a few bites. Hope they get it back together and find more help or they will be closing soon. Read more

The filet fajitas were yummy! I don't know if it is always like this but there were plenty of tables available. Service was... pretty good. Margarita was delicious Read more

Had a wonderful lunch starting with light tortilla chips with a smokey salsa to die for. I wish they would bottle it. Added a... side of guacamole. We had for the main course, carnitas tacos and chicken quesadillas. All topped off with strawberry lemonade. Read more

I have been here a couple of times over the years and for the most part I would say it has been solid. If I am going to have... authentic Mexican food I prefer the small restaurants, but in a pinch this will do. My buddy and I got grilled fish tacos andenchiladas which were pretty good. The tacos could use less slaw and some more sauce but overall they were good. The chips andsalsa that they bring to the table is pretty good and easy to fill up on so take it slow with those. If we're meeting up againin the area it will be on our radar. Read more

I liked it. The server was very polite, the menu is simple and short but definitely enough to choose something. Food came out... quickly although it wasn’t busy at the time i was there. Everything tasted fantastic and looked fresh and just made. None ofthat microwave warmed stuff. And also salsa and chips were exquisite. Probably the best tortilla chips I’ve ever tasted, thinand crispy. Salsa was also fantastic not too hot, just right. Would recommend this restaurant to try it. Read more
