Uncle Julio's Gaithersburg

I ordered in happy hour a regular margarita with mezcal and the waitress tricked me into 13 drink never once mentioning the huge cost over the tequila...I will not go somewhere with dirty staff

im a local, its a nice restaurant for a tasty meal, cant go wrong with Mexican and a nice margarita! we come here often

the service could be better , not always attentive, but it works when you want time to chat and relax and eat with your loved ones

nice vibe, gets busy and usually long waits. it has helped to make reservation onlie before you plan to come

they have a cute dessert that you have to crack open, havent tried it but it looks like fun and people come a lot in a group for that!

I rarely leave reviews, but my experience was frustrating enough that I feel the need to speak up. I placed a to-go order for a classic taco salad, expecting what was clearly listed on the menu: black beans and ground beef. What I received instead was a salad missing both of those main ingredients—no black beans, no beef. Essentially, I paid for a bowl of lettuce and toppings, which is completely unacceptable. What made this worse was that I drove out of my way to pick it up, only to discover the mistake after getting home. Not only did I waste my money, but also my time. There’s nothing worse than looking forward to a meal and being left disappointed because the kitchen didn’t follow basic order accuracy. If this is how orders are handled, I won’t be returning or recommending this place to anyone. Quality control and attention to detail matter—especially with to-go orders where customers don’t have the chance to address mistakes on-site. Please do better.

Excellent as always. On the pricey side but worth the splurge.

I paid for the biggest salsa and chips, the front didn’t seem to want to help me when ordering (they were eating at the front when I came in) and only gave me 1 small salsa and chips for $10 rather than the big one.

Excellent food. Love their chixken fajita. If you have not tried Cajeta icecream, you must.

We have to fight with them all the time. A Hispanic restaurant is rare and they don't like to serve Hispanics well and now the dishes are too expensive $33 for a Guadalajara in other similar places the same food costs $25

Thanks to the Manager & their staff. I was officianting a wedding on Wed September 25th in the morning outside near the lake & it started pouring.

The manager allowed us to use their space to complete the ceremony out of courtesy.

The guests were so grateful they stayed for lunch and enjoyed the rest of their wedding celebration having lunch with family and friends.

Thank you so much for your kindness.

Food taste was awful. Quality of meats and chicken not good and they were smelling. Lots of fat inside the steaks Fajitas. Food served cold. I don’t recommend this place.

I've been going here for 10-15 years, and it has always been solid. However, sometime in 2023-2024 or so, management must have changed, or they made drastic changes overall. The portion sizes are now much smaller than before, and we noticed everything was overly salty / sugary. Especially with the fajitas, which used to be my favorites. Hopefully they address this and revert to the way it was before...
