We stopped in for dinner on a beautiful Sunday evening after a busy day watching our daughter compete athletically. We had a short 15 minute wait (for a booth inside) as was discussed with the polite young man at the host stand. The restaurant seemed to have a steady flow of guests with most tables occupied. Though there were also several tables unoccupied, they were in need of immediate attention being cleared. I noticed several staff meandering around but ignoring the unkept tables. Once we got sat, we were greeted by our server after maybe 5 minutes or so. He was very efficient in the beginning, quickly bringing our drinks and taking a food order for our hungry daughter. Her food came out fast which was fantastic. Once we placed the remaining food order, we basically never saw our server again. We asked other staff for a minor food correction, more chips & salsa, and other necessary things during our meal. THE FOOD WAS OUTSTANDING!! Came out within a timely manner. Our server came back to check on us as we were finishing up. He did bring me some containers for our unfinished food but no bag to place the different size containers in (which I couldn’t comfortably carry). Our table had zero dishes or glasses removed which made it challenging for me to pack up our food with all the clutter. I will say he was very kind in bringing me a bag of fresh chips to take home. When it was time for me to pay our bill, our server presented an electronic handheld device to process my credit card payment. Once payment was processed, and it was time for the gratuity to be added (mind you he’s still holding the small device but has it positioned where it’s partially visible to me) without hesitation, he starts to automatically press the 20% gratuity button as he says to me, “20% right?” I found this to be so brazen and incredibly rude. I told him I’d tip him accordingly which ended up being more than the 20% (after I had to walk up to the host stand to ask for a bag and ask why the handheld timed out before completing my payment with added gratuity). I’ve worked in this industry for longer than dirt and appreciate that he came to work so that my family and I could have a nice dinner out. I don’t know if this is standard procedure for your service staff to feel entitled to a certain tip percentage regardless of their effort or urgency, or if he just felt that he deserved that but he overstepped boundaries. I didn’t see any management or else I would’ve addressed it during our visit. I’d like to reiterate that our food was truly delicious and I’m thankful for those that showed up for their shift. We’ve always had lovely visits to your establishment without incident.

Beautiful restaurant. Clean. Great atmosphere. Little pricey. Food wasn't bad but wasn't as good as Chevy's. I ordered chicken/steak fajitas. $28. Same meal at Chevys is cheaper with more food and better taste. Glad we tried it but probably won't be going back unless someone else is footing the bill.

We came in for our reservation right around 5. Service was average bordering on not great. When we came in, it wasn't busy yet and our server disappeared for a while each time. I can get over that, but when we were ordering our appetizer, I specifically asked if the appetizer had no cilantro because cilantro tastes like soap to me. The appetizer didn't but when I ordered my entree, I specifically asked for mexican rice instead of cilantro and got cilantro on the rice and there was cilantro on the tacos despite her telling me there wouldn't be. Quesadillas were delicious and we gladly took it home for later. I got the fish tacos and I took one bite of a taco and tasted the cilantro instantly. I forced down the rest of that taco but left the other two untouched and just ate the side of mexican rice, the complimentary chips and salsa (which was great), and some steak from my fiancé's plate. Of course our server showed up once right after the food was brought to switch out my cilantro rice to mexican rice and then didnt come back until we were done to bring boxes and the check. She noticed I hardly touched my tacos and commented I could have said something. I'm sorry but I said 3 times that I didn't want cilantro on my tacos because it tastes like literal soap, why would I say it again when it would get ignored again? This was my first time back with my fiance and we both agreed to not return.

Very nice place. The food is delicious. A little bit pricey, but it’s so worth every penny.The service is great and the place is outstanding. It’s beautiful, very nice and great to take your date there.The entrance is a little bit hidden, so when you park try to see the tall walls of the entrance.

We just had ?tacos. (Me and two of my amigos ?.) They were delicious! ? Or maybe ? it was the cervezas, the atmosphere and comradery ? that made them seem good... ?Either way, it was a Sunday and we had a blast! ?✌?

Good authentici mexican food. Truly enjoyable. Our waiter was patient, and listened very closely to our needs and the expectation was beyong what we asked for. Even my man enjoyed it.
Had an amazing dinner here. Had heard of it while traveling and found myself in Annapolis for work. Did local Ledo pizza the first night in town and checked this place out the next night, glad I did, food, drinks and service was top notch! GM came by and chatted with me for a bit. Forget his name but he is doing something right, staff was all smiles and the hospitality was solid! Thanks Uncle Julio for a great experience

My wife and I have been a loyal customer for Rio Grande / Uncle Julio’s for over 35 years - used to be the best Mexican restaurant hands down. However, they have recently changed their food recipes / ingredients and it’s so disappointing. Salsa and chips and rice and so much more were the best and now are frankly, average. Changes appear to be all locations and not just Annapolis. Congratulations - you broke what wasn’t broken. So sad to ruin the brand. We go to Chevy’s now.
