Uncle Julio's Rio Grande Cafe

Brunch on weekends is a best-kept secret.

Go. As a Texan I can vouch this place is the most legit Mexican food in the area. Get the Lucky Horseshoe margarita and special fajitas .

Shrimp and Lobster soup on Fridays, and Fish Tacos , are always great. We often come here for goodbye lunches and other office occasions, because of their ample and flexible seating.

It seems pricey until you realize that a fajita platter for one easily feeds two and that's coming from a guy with a healthy appetite. You can also ask for extra tortillas at no additional cost!

Good and fresh food , queso blanco with chips ????????. Service is perfect.

Best Mexican in Ballston - love the margarita and sangria swirls and be sure to try the fajitas

I've loved this place since it opened 20 years ago! Best Mexican food and margaritas around!

sit on the patio if you want decent service during happy hour , which is the only time it's worth it since this place is overpriced. Our waiter was awesome and gave us a free round of margs

Nice happy hour atmosphere. The fajitas and the service were excellent.

The swirl meltdown is the best and the mango passion rita. Pulled chicken quesadilla yummy

Best Mexican food in the area. Guacamole is super fresh and delish! Can't get enough of this place.

The Guacamole and Chorizo Queso along with the Margaritas are divine! My favorite place to spend a sunny afternoon.

Try the Lucky Horseshoe . Awesome margarita !

Great cheese and beef enchiladas , but the chicken ones are mediocre. Queso is your basic velveeta. Mojitos are excellent, sangria is syrup-y and gross.

The food and services was superbe

Be sure to get a margarita ! This place has great margaritas !!

Best chicken tacos you will find anywhere!

Queso and Guacamole great . Waitress very kind but slow customer service

The Baja Gold sounds funky but it's delicious. Try it with Negro Modelo

Cool place, flautas were very tasty.

Not authentic Mexican food . Beans are gumbo-ish, rice is dry, fajitas are flavorless. Guacamole was the highlight of this visit. Comparing to Texas Mexican food so my standards are a bit high.

Best fajitas around! Enjoy!

Go to Uncle Julio's and get the Swirl frozen margarita ! After finishing your meal, ask to take home extra salsa - they'll give it to you for free! Read more

We ordered an appetizer and then our entrees shortly after and they came out way to fast. Wait til you're ready to eat before your order

Great place for a date, the swirl margarita 's are awesome, great Mexican restaurant !

Make sure to check you received flour tortillas :)

Chips and Salsa delicious drinks good

The shrimp and beef fajitas are to die for!

I love the frozen margaritas ! And fajitas .

One of the loudest restaurants in the metro DC area. Be prepared.

revamped menu has a spicy guac and decent skinny margaritas .

The swirl margarita is a punch in the face. Get the strawberry margarita if you want something a lil less intense.

The food was reheated and probably cooked that morning, at best. Can't complain about the swirl margaritas though!

Get a margarita . The margarita/sangria swirl is tasty too!

Amazing margs !

They went all Tex Mex . Not bad for the area. Go with Juanita's platter.

Try the "Jalisco" if you like fajitas ...grilled shrimp is really good!!

Fresh made tortillas are great!

$2 off all "on the rocks" margaritas until 6:30!

Get the queso , then sopapillas for dessert ! Yum!

Best Mexican food in Arlington...

Fantastic restaurant ...and their margarita is the best! Check out the "Juarez" dish!

The shrimp ceviche is to die for!

Get one of the platters - best bang for your buck

It was really good we enjoyed ourselves

Their fish tacos are pretty amazing!

Meltdown is yummy

Cactus is better

Table side guacamole

Try the Guadalajara
