Uncle Julio's Frontenac

Aesthetically, this place ranks on the higher end for Mexican in the area. That's the nicest thing I can say about this place. The service is incredibly slow and everything is overpriced. I understand that this is in Frontenac, but the quality needs to support that price and it didn't. The salsa and queso were good, but the sides are awful. The rice was bland and they serve Charro beans. Don't order the quesadilla, it is not worth it. My wife did enjoy her grapefruit margarita though. I also thought the electronic check was neat.

A disappointment. I’ve come here before and the food and service was much better. Tonight, the Smokey Mezcal Margarita had this awful aftertaste, the chips were stale, the guac was tasteless, the street tacos weren’t good, and the server was in another world. I hope they shape up, because I love the Chicago locations and I really want to continue coming here.

I tried the carnitas tacos and honestly I wasn't impressed....the tableside guacamole was good...it took over 30 mins for our food and it wasn't fresh seemed to be sitting...overall the decor is nice and the bar has lots of different tequillas to choose from
