    Torta
    Andrew B.

    This place is hands down the best in the area! CASH ONLY or QUICK PAY, friendly service! Will deff come again!

    Steak torta

    Weird location but worth going out of your way to eat at. Owner is insanely nice and helpful. Food prices affordable and portions generous. We stopped on a Friday and had tortilla soup (it's spicy so say something if you want that toned down), chicken burrito and steak torta. All tasty and packed!

    The best Mexican Sopa de tortilla, and all the food is exceptional really fresh and great taste.

    3 taco dinner, best tacos I've had in north Chicago burbs by far.

    I don't write too many reviews. But holy cow, DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS PLACE. And do not judge a book by its cover. This place is nestled in a cafeteria in a business building in Skokie but holy cow, it's the best tacos I've had in the area by far, and at a fantastic price. If you're nearby the area please do yourself a favor and check this place out!!

    Been coming here for 15 years and this man makes some damn good food. Such a hidden gem and if you can get here before the office building closes you need try their STEAK Quesadillas. I love all the food but this is definitely my go to! Thanks Jose's for the laughs and the food, you're the man

    Philly Cheese Steak and Hash browns
    Sunflower S.

    Great and quick service with affordable prices. Cash or QuickPay only, luckily there's an ATM on the first floor of the building. Got the Philly Cheese Steak and hash browns for breakfast, really appreciate his friendliness so early in the morning.

    Tortilla soup is unbelievable, and Jose is such a nice guy!

    Always great service and food - much better than nearby Chipotle in all regards…read more I order online often and generally go dairy free - my order has been correct every single time! A friend and I went in last week and Brandon was kind enough to throw in pair of churros, made our days. I would suggest this place over and over

    I don't know who Guzman or Gomez are, but I'd like to offer them my thanks for the fast, relatively…read morecheap, vegan-friendly Mexican options. My first thought was, "This is like Chipotle, if Chipotle was actually good," and I'm sticking with that. Perhaps that can be the new slogan for Guzman y Gomez. Run with it, put it on your bags and cups, just make sure to pay me back in free burritos. It's not exactly the same model as Chipotle. You don't watch the magic happen, so there's no opportunity to request a little more of this or a bit less of that. But the staff here are so eager to please, I always find I get exactly what I was looking for anyway. If you need a little more of anything, just ask, and they're happy to oblige. Plus, this place has so many more options than Chipotle, it's crazy. Better food, better atmosphere, just better overall. During my first visit, I had the pleasure of chatting with one of the chefs, Dustin, and I could hear the passion for cooking in how he spoke about this role here. He broke down all their vegan options for me and made sure my first burrito was an absolute hit. It's probably that first visit that got me hooked, so G y G is lucky to have a guy like him. Two vegan mayos, chipotle or herb, both delicious. Pulled shiitake mushroom, seasoned beautifully and cooked to order. Perfectly cooked rice, yummy fajita veggies, salsa options galore, it was all spot on. Super authentic Mexican? No, but that's ok. "Inspired by authentic Mexican food" is fine by me. And how'd they manage to get so many friendly employees? I've been here a half a dozen times, and everyone is so damn chipper and happy to help. Plus, the music is upbeat and fun, not some dreary corporate playlist. I actually *want* to eat in, which I rarely look forward to in a fast food spot. I'm loving it. There are times when you just need something satisfying and fast that doesn't break the bank. This place brings that energy via fresh ingredients prepared with expertise. Plus, as I said, Chipotle is garbage. I'm glad Guzman y Gomez decided to pop up in Evanston.

    When I first went on Yelp to make reservations, I noticed Uncle Julio's had only 3 stars. I…read morehonestly thought, "That's surprising!" because I've eaten there many times before and always had a great experience. Unfortunately, after going back last night, I can understand some of the reviews. Hear me out... First, the atmosphere was a little chaotic. Dishes kept being dropped and shattered throughout the restaurant. We were jumping every few minutes waiting for someone to yell "OPA!"... except this isn't a Greek restaurant. Not sure what was happening, but it definitely took away from the relaxing dinner vibe. As for the food and service, this is where I was most disappointed. I used to think the prices matched the quality, but this time the value just wasn't there. I ordered the steak and chicken fajitas, which used to come loaded with onions and peppers. This time, there were only onions, a few pieces of steak, and mostly chicken. Our waitress also forgot the flour tortillas and the toppings, and we had to repeatedly ask for things throughout the meal. Unfortunately, each item took quite a while to arrive, and by the time the toppings came out, I was pretty much finished eating. We never got pico either, and at that point I didn't even bother asking because dinner was basically over. We also asked for more chips and salsa, which took a while to arrive as well. The food itself still tastes good, and that's what makes this disappointing. But when a dinner out requires me to keep reminding the restaurant what needs to come to the table, my family might as well have stayed home. At least there would have been no interruptions--and I would have been the one bringing out the meal anyway! I really hope this was just an off night because I have enjoyed Uncle Julio's for years. But for now, I'm not sure we'll be rushing back.
