Uncle Rico's Cantina

service was great and the food wasnt authentic but was amazing. Real drinks no low quality mixers. Mom and pop feel. No public restroom if you care about that.

Their outdoor seating is pretty cool.
I got the Birria Ramen for lunch. Never had I ever considered that combination, but it was great! The chips and salsa were just right. Thin, perfectly salted chips and as a spice wimp I appreciated that the salsa wasn't painfully spicy.

Just recently went to this restaurant…and it was a HUGE disappointment. I got a carne asada which was very chewy and the meat did not taste good. My plate came with beans and as I was eating it I soon found hair in it. I told the server politely to get a new one which he did very kindly. What shocked me was that when it came to paying the bill we got charged extra for asking a new side of beans….
Even though the waiter was nice and the drinks were very good, never coming back to this place ever again.

We had high hopes coming into this restaurant because they had a little pop up shop at the Latino Festival in Manassas Park not too long ago and their tacos were amazing. When we came into the restaurant, the service was okay but the problem was when we got our food.
The food tasted as if it had no seasoning whatsoever, we ordered the steak and rice, the tacos de lengua, the sopes de carne asada and 2 tacos de carne asada. When I went to taste my sopes, the flavor that hit my tongue was absolutely horrendous. I can’t describe what it tasted like but it didn’t taste well. The best way to put it was that it looked more pale colored and the texture was terrible, it tasted like they had recently just taken it out of the freezer and didn’t season it.
I understand that most foods are frozen to which I have no problem but the real problem begins when it tastes like I’m eating raw meat even though it’s fully cooked. Our waitress saw that I didn’t like my food so she asked if I wanted something else but after trying everyone’s food I decided that I wasn’t going to eat there.
The price for everything was ridiculous because no one would’ve thought that the food would taste that way.
Overall, I always recommend trying it out but this was just my personal experience.

The store owner wasn’t an unpleasant help , bad service , gave me a horrible attitude for no reason wouldn’t recommend coming here 👀

Ordered 5 Flautas and specified in the order details to put the toppings on the side. The restaurant did not follow my request, and the toppings were on the flautas. My order was online, and it stated that it would take 45 minutes for my food order to be ready for JUST 5 flautas. Why does it take that long to make 5 flautas? When I arrived, the restaurant was not busy (only 3 tables were occupied) and my food was not immediately ready (after 45 minutes from ordering my food). The staff was somewhat friendly and finally got my food after about 10 minutes.

Uncle Rico’s Cantina is an absolute gem! The birria tacos are amazing—hands down the best I’ve ever had. Packed with flavor and perfectly tender, they’re worth the visit alone. The drinks are just as impressive—refreshing, delicious, and expertly made. The atmosphere is fun and welcoming, and the staff go above and beyond. Everyone was so attentive and genuinely kind, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this place—you won’t be disappointed!

Ssooo good.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Stood at door waiting for a table for 30 minutes, sat at table for 10 before being checked on again. And waited 20 mins before I even got my fountain drink. Ended up leaving. Better place called Chili on top right next door save yourself the time.

The food was great. The birria burrito unfortunately was soggy and was falling apart every time I picked it up.

I Love their food. In my entire life I have been to countless Mexican restaurants, & this place did not disappoint us at all!

Our server was nice, she was little busy but kept checking up on us.

Food was Amazing! I love the trio fajitas, chicken cooked well, shrimps were big and tasty.
Almost all their dishes come with small shells which is different than other restaurants. Shell was little hard, but not bad.
My friend took Carne Asada but it wasn't as great as other dishes, but still good.

But our Most Favorite dish was Tres Leche! They make it So Delicious. The chef knows the proper density of the milk, how much it needs to stay soaked & not to be cheap with milk at all.
Tres Leche is one of my favorite dessert, and many restaurants end up making it dry, but not this place.
Tres Leche is their Winner dish!
