Been too long! They were really busy this Saturday morning. I don't deviate from my order here because I cannot find this farm steak samwich outside of the area and theirs is the best! Great service and portions too The crowd here is largely Hispanic and I see a ton of chilaquiles being served in the morning read more

Came to Juan's chuck wagon for breakfast with a group of coworkers . They offer plenty of free parking. When you first walk in, there is a big room (as pictured). It wasn't being used. I think you can rent it out and have a party. The diner area also offered plenty of seating from booths, regular tables and bar seating . Our group of 5 sat at the bar area. They cook most of the food on a flat top right in front of us. It was amazing how fast and efficient. I ordered chilaquiles verdes o rojos with skit steak and rice and beans. I've only had chilaquiles one other time and it wasn't the that good. These were so good so much flavor and chips with still crunchy. Steak wasn't over cooked . Definitely would order again. The rice and beans taste like they were homemade. Service was great from our waitress to the food coming out pretty quick for the size of our party . Highly recommended. read more

Got a tip from Big Ed, a local bbq business, that this is a must try spot. I really enjoyed my first visit with the country skillet. When you smother anything with sausage gravy I'm going to try it. I always rank it for future visits with how much I enjoyed their biscuits and sausage gravy. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to make a return trip for more of their menu. Lots of Mexican food too. Friendly staff and everything is well kept. read more

Breakfast is phenomenal. I got the mega breakfast. It's expensive really do it a lot. I'll at least get one more meal out of the leftovers I would've taken a picture, but I already finished my breakfast very fast service efficient I think just the right amount not too much. read more

We had to switch our mother's birthday indoors last minute and Juan's Chuck Wagon was able to accommodate our party. We were a fairly large party and felt so welcome! Food was terrific, service was top notch and they even provided waffle sundaes to our party to celebrate our mom's birthday! Will definitely consider their event space for future gatherings! read more

Food was good. Corned Beef Hash and eggs were good. Standard American breakfast difficult to negotiate on menu. Lots of tricks. Menu prices wrong, up charge for rye toast, unclear total until standing at the register. Not pleasant. $30 breakfast? read more

Amazing food! Super friendly service. Our server knew everything about the menu and made perfect suggestions. The food came quickly and was so delicious!!!

Waited almost an hour for our food before anyone even noticed, did not tell us why it took so long or own up to their mistake, did not offer a discount or anything. Used to be our favorite place but we will not be back. It's okay to make mistakes but don't avoid it just own up to it and offer your guest something to apologize. We saw 4 people that came in after us eat and leave before we even got our food. Our server was siting at the bar eating her own breakfast. And when we finally got our food that was clearly thrown together as quickly as possible, it was not as good as it usually would've been. read more

Best authentic Mexican breakfast around. Great customer service, food is awesome with many selections and the prices won't leave you scratching your head after having breakfast. If you want an authentic breakfast with a good family running the place, try here. My favorite is the sausage skillet. read more

First time ordering from here, did not have a great experience food was bland. But their biscuits and gravy was good.

Really good omelettes here. Friendly and quick staff. Very saddened to see only one employee (an older gentleman) wearing a mask. I no longer feel safe even picking up a carry out order. read more

This place ought to have 1500 five star reviews for the work they put forth. Your glass never runs dry, your food comes fast, and prices are cheap. Juan knows what he's doing when making people feel happy with his menu. Great flavors, great diner atmosphere. I had the menudo and was impressed with its authenticity. Flavors are fresh and the owners are paying attention to the tasty details. My wife had the chorizo and eggs, came out with nice sides of refried beans and hashbrowns. The chorizo is well balanced, not too greasy and had great spice. read more

Juan's Chuck Wagon - Scratch made menudo, amazing flavor. - American Near Me - Waukegan, Illinois

Came here the past Saturday. It was beyond pack!!! Even though each table was filled, it didn't stop this place having such good customer service. Everyone that came to our table was so friendly. Food came out surprisingly fast. We both ordered the chilaquiles (a little bit to garlicky for my taste) & we split an order of biscuits and gravy. The biscuits and gravy would not be my first choice when eating here, but they were still good. My husband said they tasted buttery. This is a wonderful place for breakfast!! We would totally come back. read more

A hidden gem. Have been here a few times now. The place is always clean and the service is outstanding. Though prices have gone up, they are still on the reasonable side. I have only ever had eggs, hash browns, and toast so it is difficult to say a lot about the food - but it was good. Everything else coming out of the kitchen looked good as well. Maybe not worth a special trip, but if you are in the area looking for a diner-like establishment where they seem to take pride in everything they do - this is an excellent choice. read more

i placed a take out order this morning and whoever is making the hash browns is over cooking the food , my hash browns was over cooked and i feel like i was over charged $16 dollars for chuck wagon omelette with has browns . i usually go sit down an eat an never payed that price but so far the food has been over cooked read more

You try to support local businesses during a pandemic but both of my meals were horrible. Spanish steak that was so overcooked, its crispy. And a flat steak over cooked. Asked for onions and a grilled jalapeño and not in the bag. You never know what you're carrying out, but had I known what was this bad, i would have left it there. Gotta do better. read more

Right away you sit down you get attended pretty well. Food takes awhile to come out but other than that you feel welcomed. Food was good it wasn't bad at all but everyone has their favorites restaurants for a first time I would come again not bad pricing either! read more

I wish i was made out of Juan chuck wagon. I'd eat myself! Perfect place to be when you want feel good and full belly.

First time here and absolutely loved it. Will definitely be coming back. Their red chilaquiles are AMAZING!!!

Awesome breakfast food and great service (Maria is the best!). Parking is usually pretty easy. They share a lot with a dentist office next door. You won't leave hungry or disappointed here! read more

The place is great! Love the service, food, they make you feel you are at home. Im here at least 3-4 times a week. Best chilaquiles in town. read more

This place is dope. I ordered the Chuck Wagon Omelette with French fries. It was amazingly delicious. They were extremely busy for breakfast, but everything came out the way we wanted it, and quickly too. Our servers were phenomenal. Every server whether they're serving your table or not, when they pass by ask if everything is okay. It was annoying or unwelcomed! It's like they know when and when not to bother you. read more

very good service i love the atmosphere and the staff very friendly will be back the chuck wagon omelette is bomb

Amazing food . Large portions and very warm guys.. Must eat ... Very cozy . Small but relaxing .. We will definitely be back whenever we are in the around . read more

As soon as me and my friend walked in we just got stared at. After a while a waitress came over and gave us an up and down look and said we could seat ourselves. #strike1 After we tried to sit at a booth, however there was still glasses there, and no one even seemed concerned that we wanted to see in a booth, much less that we were in there. #strike2 So we decided to sit at the bar and order some food. A waitress rudely came up to us and asked for our order to which I responded back in Spanish ( which is when she SLIGHTLY soften her demeanor) and after that we walked out. I'm a usually a calm and patient person and I've never written a review before on Yelp. However, after this experience I wouldn't suggest anyone who ISN'T Hispanic to come here. Horrible experience! read more

After trying several restaurants in the area, we like Chuck Wagon the most because it's the cleanest and the food tastes fresh. The other breakfast places taste like a frozen food delivery truck. read more

They have a big selection for whatever your breakfast craving May be, hue is rancheros and french toast in the same place is what I'm talking about! Great breakfast!!! We love the chilaquiles too! It's a must if you are in town read more

This place overcharges for everything certainly left us not wanting to return. The food was okay not spectacular for a mexican restaurant. Breakfast for two was nearly $28 dollars and charged $2.00 for a cup of coffee. Waitress brought out wrong items out a few times. Did I mention it wasn't a busy morning? There are better restaurants in the area that serve great breakfast and do not have the ridiculous prices this place does. February 2016 read more

Worst service ever. I won't say worst just our waitress. The other servers tried their best to fix her mess up. The food was sub par and when a complaint was made the waitress said that is the way it is made. I ordered a gyro omelet and it was dry, seemed to be over cooked. I ended up sending it back completely and ordering only a bowl of fruit. My friend did say the bacon was great. I just wasnt happy and the fact that the waitress had an attitude didn't help. I tried to be nice and overlook it but it was unacceptable read more

Best Chilaquiles in Waukegan HANDS DOWN! either green or red this is my go to for a Mexican breakfast w/some sunny side eggs. They tend to be spicy which I LOVE so check with the staff which ones are spicier if you don't like spicy food. Sometimes green ones are spicier than the red ones so double check. Great place although it's small. The waiters have always been great taking my confusing order. read more

The lower rating is not related to the restaurant food or staff, rather for a couple of the patrons who were parents. It was a case of "kids gone wild.". Screaming repeatedly just because, at you, at each other... Knocking and banging on the walls and bathroom doors, running around... Unbelievable that the parents just let it go on. The server talked to them about it, but they didn't care that their children were disrupting everyone's experience. The table of police officers sitting next to me commented on it, also. Apparently this is very common for this location. Very unfortunate, because it seems like a cool little neighborhood diner. This was my first time here, but I like a little less chaos when I eat, so I'll pick a different place if I'm back in the area. read more
