Uncle Julio's Gaithersburg 231 Rio Boulevard, Gaithersburg, MD 20878

"One of the best restaurant in RIO . Family friendly Long waiting time but the food is worth the wait and the service and staff are primo. Suggest Drink “ The Swirl “ 21+ Everything on the menu is great but my favorite is the fajita!"

"My first visit to Uncle Julio's was a journey of highs and lows. The service, especially from Sammy, was outstanding, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. I ordered steak fajitas, soft tacos, tortilla soup, and a beer. The highlights were the homemade flour tortillas and the rich, flavorful tortilla soup, which stood out for their freshness and quality. However, the steak fajitas were under-seasoned and the Americanized soft tacos didn't quite meet my expectations for authentic Mexican cuisine.In summary, while Uncle Julio's excels in service and certain dishes, some of the main offerings like the fajitas and tacos could benefit from a touch more authenticity and flavor."

"Got a swirl margarita New recipe with sangria and frozen lime margarita, tastes amazing! Chips and 2 different kinds of salsa. Couldn’t decide which is better, the grilled tomato salsa or the red salsa for chips Thanks Jesse for your wonderful service!"

"They have the music too loud in here to have a conversation without yelling at the person next to you. The service was not very good, unless we actively tried to get the servers attention they were no where to be found. When water was brought to the table, we received a pitcher but no glasses, basic things were lacking. The Baja fried tacos were awful, they were over cooked and had no flavor. The shrimp and crab enchiladas were good, they were what I was expecting the meal to taste like."

"Nice place and staff. High prices just for the experience (they make guacamole in front of the table) and that it’s a made from scratch kitchen. It’s not a higher quality of food really than your average Mexican restaurant. Maybe less salt or different quality cooking oil. They have vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options. Some of the rice dishes are made with butter and they cannot accommodate because they make rice in batches."
