Uncle Julio's Schaumburg

"From the moment we came in we were greeted by friendly staff & there was practically no wait. The restaurant was clean & had a nice atmosphere. What we really enjoyed was the service. Our server, Alex was informative, attentive & helped make my daughter’s birthday a memorable one. Will definitely be coming back."

"Great ambience and service! Food was very flavorful! We had carne asada, quesadilla and chicken fajita."

"Christmas present shopping is arduous. I need to seek out a location to rest my feet and eat something to replenish my energy. Uncle Julio's is conveniently located in the mall. Since I’m craving for Tex-Mex food. Despite the fact that the mall was crowded, especially due to the holidays, they seated me immediately. The atmosphere is influenced by Spanish design features such as brick and wood. Those elements give off an exquisite ambiance. I started with the nacho especial; their chip is distinctive; it reminds me of a tortilla sliced in half. Individual chips are topped with fried beans, melted cheddar cheese, and a steak and chicken combination. Pico de gallo and guacamole are provided on the side to enhance color and taste. It appears simple, yet it is excellent. The carne asada, one of their mesquite-grilled specialties, was my main meal. It was presented on a lovely wooden board. The skirt steak was cooked to my specifications and tasted delicious. The side dishes go nicely with the steak, and putting the meal together was enjoyable. This dish alone is worth it. I had churros for dessert. The exterior has a good crunch texture, while the interior is delicate. It's gently dusted with a cinnamon-sugar mixture. It came with chocolate and caramel dipping sauces. I'm not a fan of the caramel. The sauce is diluted and cool. I wanted it to be warm like the chocolate sauce. Overall, It lacks color in my perspective, with a boring brown color palette, but it was good. From the hostess to the server and the management, the service is superb. Our server was excellent; he was pleasant and attentive, ensuring that our needs were met. It's rare to see the manager being active, but she stopped by every table, including mine, to verify that our experience was satisfactory. Which I did and thank you for the meal."

"We have been coming here for two years just because we love the food and the service has significantly increased for the better. I can’t explain enough about how well we were treated by Olympia and Kyle were so kind to check on us multiple times throughout our meal up ensure everything was perfect. There have been several recipe changes on the menus to keep in mind. Very happy and will be back soon!"

"Uncle Julio’s was my Make-A-Wish child’s choice of lunch spot. Marcelo (GM) and Barbara (our waitress) could not have made this any more special for sweet M. Upon arrival in her limo, the staff was holding the doors open for M and her family which was followed by a very nice welcome introductory. Marcelo led M, her family and I back to a private room that was filled with balloons and all set up for M. She was speechless as this was so special and beyond any expectations of what we had in mind for our lunch. Barbara was attentive and brought back refills or items before any had to ask, which was awesome. Everyone was satisfied and enjoyed their meals, this was quite the MAW experience for M as she was about to get her shopping spree started. Uncle Julio’s was definitely the perfect choice, all the staff were so nice and they were accommodating. Marcelo and Barbara thank you so much!!"
