Uncle Rico's Cantina

Great food and great margaritas. Service is superb. It really is a gem. I will definitely be back!

This place is really easy to find and in a good location. They have a lot of drink options and food options. We had fajitas and they were really good. I want to try the mini quesadillas and churro's but that will be for another day. It's comfortable inside but most importantly the food was good.

We must have caught them at the worst time. The place was almost empty but we had very slow service, a lot of things forgotten like napkins, silverware, etc. Our server clearly was not entirely present. This is not your normal Mexican restaurant, and you may find the menu to be Confusing. If you're just looking for tacos, this is not it. If you're looking for sopes, and eccentric southern cuisine, then this is it. The salsa that comes with the chips is warm and tastes like onion soup. Nothing like the salsa most people are used to. The $6 margarita special is not bad. All of that to say that the food is actually really good. We ordered the appetizer sample as that really seemed like the safest bet. At $35 we got delicious Tacos, sopes, flautas, etc. Overall this is a soft four, mainly the menu needs work, better explaining things, better organized, and the service needs a lot of work.

Drinks are excellent. I love this place! The atmosphere is amazing. The people are so friendly, I have not met one person that works there that has not had a friendly attitude. The place has been beautifully decorated. Since this was my first time here, I order a couple of my favorite dishes. Tacos and the trio fajitas both were outstanding this place is definitely worth it so go check them out.

Late lunch and the place was completely empty. Hard to gauge when it's off hours. Ordered the alambre and added a grilled jalapeño to it. Food came out piping hot with a side dish or guacamole/lettuce/tomatoes and shredded cheese. And 3 flour tortillas. The side of jalapeño ended up being two full grilled jalapeños. The portion was huge and could have fed two comfortably. I needed another 3 tortillas to even use up the meat. $1.99 for the two jalapeños.. reasonable $3.25 soda - a bit hefty $1.99 for three tortillas a little ridiculous A great meal. I just won't add any of the extras next time.

Everything is delicious!! Great service @Brian. Daily specials from taco Tuesday to Eff'd up Friday!

Hands down the best TexMex restaurant in Northern Virginia. As a lover of TexMex and having the experience of eating TexMex for years in Texas, this is the real deal. Everything was divine. The queso was pleasing, the birria quesadilla were everything! My mango margarita was just right. The waitress was helpful with her recommendations on what to try and friendly. The restaurant decor is festive with social media worthy backgrounds. I will be a frequent consumer here.

I came here on a Sunday and the food was amazing and definitely was a cute inside/outside vibe given the area. The birria tacos were a hit and the fried plantains as an appetizer were really good too. My husband had the steak fajitas and said they were good but when he tasted my birria tacos and dipped them in the consommé he was sold about coming back for those. The drinks were good too, we had the mango and Mexican mojitos. Took away one star because the service wasn't amazing but also not bad. We had to ask two different servers for our check before it was brought to us. We will definitely be back again
