Have eaten here many times in the past, but I will think twice about picking up in the future. First, parking for pickup is a nightmare - there are no dedicated spots. Then they gave no utensils or napkins - fun for the car. Ordered a Dasani, got some other brand - Aquapanna. The bacon-wrapped shrimp and the enchiladas were good. The salsa was okay, but not spicy. The guac was good but highly overpriced for how much you get - see pic, that's the large for $12. And they used to have great chips - thin and right out of the fryer, but the new ones are thick and not good.

The food was good, the service was extremely lacking.We went on Sunday afternoon March 13, and ordered food. I told the server that I have a gluten allergy, and she indicated that the Fajitas were OK.Turns out they weren't, and the manager came by after my plate was served. The food was marinated in a gluten product. And he swiftly took my plate away.They fixed a new gluten free plate. The catch... It took close to an hour to get the new food. The manager told us they would comp. my meal.However, when we got the check they actually double billed us for my meal and gave just a $5 discount. We had to get the bill fixed and then we only received $5 off from the original price.The service took over 2 hours, and it was just two of us at dinner.

TexMex combo platter is good and a lot of food.

Both indoor and outdoor us nice. Their steak fajitas are great, but not much their enchilada. The service is fast and good. Their margarita is also good. In general for americanized Mexican food is a good place to go to once in a while.

The food is amazing and the service was amazing.....the food is soo fresh. Most of all the Drinks are on point.

I had a glass of Pinot noir at the bar, which came with chips and salsa...they were good. Wine was decent (Mark West brand) but cost $12. I ordered the fajita chicken soft tacos. Two tacos came with rice and beans. Food was lukewarm and chicken did not taste grilled, but I liked it overall. Tacos cost $14.50. Service was good. Overall I'd give them a B-. There are many other better tex mex restaurants in the DMV.

Kudos to the wait staff, chef and bartender. If you are in the area, do visit Uncle Julio's. Everything is great..the presentation, the flavors and the atmosphere. I don't suggest take out...unless you are patient. This is an extremely popular restaurant. Take out with curbside pick up tends to run behind..order early..worth the wait though.

Attended a dinner here for work. Everything was great. The food was delicious and the service was great. Really loved the guac.

Oh my lord, their food is amazing. One of the best Mexican places I have ever been too. Their chicken and beef are so tender and always hot and ready, you'll never get cold food. The nachos and quaso and tortillas are fricking amazing! I would recommend the Steak Fajito Bowl if anything. There wasn't any problem, food was amazing, service was amazing. The food might be a little overpriced though.

Love this place for Margheritas and Fajitas. The food and drinks have always been amazing and the service top notch. We will keep coming back.
