Uncle Julio's Vernon Hills

Armando is the best. The food is great also.

Bruh as the kids would say. Last time I go here. $148 down the drain. Service? Was there even service? Slow and steady not a good motto for a server. Especially when place was dead. Food definitely keeps going down hill. Is it sad to say the chips were the best part? I had the fajitas and my sister in law got the same. We both ordered corn tortillas and yes tortillas came. But really 3 pieces to share? I requested more and she looked at me confused.....she did come back but with flour tortillas. It was like pulling teeth to get some extra tortillas. Kids and wife did not enjoy the food. It's one of the places where if I packed my leftovers and left them at the table I wouldn't be mad. Uncle Julio you need some help. If I get a refund I'll remove the post but in the meantime avoid this place and got somewhere locally owned.

I don't know why I keep coming back to this place, unless it's because my in-laws want to give it another shot. The restaurant was surprisingly uncrowded, which doesn't explain the slow service. possibly due to staffing issues who knows. Unfortunately, the food was terrible, and its temperature was inconsistent - hot outside, cold inside - indicating it had been left under the heat lamp for a bit. We got there at 7 pm and left at 9 pm. The visit was far too long due to sluggish service which should have been no more then an hour visit. Last time I'm ever coming here. ??‍♀️

Upon entering, it did take a minute to be seated, but not long. The greater was very nice and respectful. Lights were low and smelled of fresh good food. Our waiter Hunter was really nice, knowing it was my birthday ? everyone was friendly. The food was just right. House made tortillas are great, just everything. Should get Hunter to make you a spicy Rita. The presentation was beautiful and cooked to perfection. I will come back. Thank you

Armado is the best. He makes sure you are taken care of and he always gives he best service. He used to be our server at another restaurant. I always ask for him.

Went here after not having it in a while. The better habanero salsa is gone. The queso seems more aligned with taco Bell than what this place was trying to be. The best way I can describe the place is that it is trying to be the heir to Chi Chi's

I love getting the chicken fajita quesadillas and Chile con queso but only get the correct items in my to go orders half the time. Last night we ordered and I'm not even sure what the "queso" I received is supposed to be. It's definitely cheese but has a lot of meat in it and definitely not the Chile con queso we ordered. My husband was picking it up after work and didn't check it so our bad but still super annoying to be consistently getting 1 of our items wrong when we order to go. Sometimes it's in the quesadillas and we don't find out til after we're home.

We had a reservation at 6:30. The restaurant was not full by any means. It took forever for them to seat us, longer for a waitress to come by and the food didn’t come for almost an hour after we ordered. Usually Mexican food is retry quick to prepare. We ordered tacos and salads. The steak tacos were tough and hard to chew. The waitress did not check on us or ask if we wanted another drink. I don’t think in this place will be around much longer with it being run so poorly.
