Food great, staff great, homade tortillas and with great salsa. Not too oily either, was a great breakfast burrito. Atmosphere a little dull, but clean and pleasant. Highly reccomend!
First time to Juanitas - will definitely be back on a regular basis. Fast, easy and delicious. Very reasonably priced. Thanks to the staff for letting us practice our spanish with a smile when ordering!
We used Juanita’s taco shop to cater a Celebration of Life party on Moonlight Beach less a mile away. Ricardo and the rest of the team were first class all the way. We ordered Carne asada, Pollo asada, beans, rice, corn tortillas, chips and salsa for 50 guests. My cousin picked up the order that morning and the staff brought it out to her car. We served it Hot and delicious on the beach under a beautiful tent and all of our guests absolutely loved the food and complimented...read full review

Juanitas Taco Shop is a long-standing Leucadia staple known for its authentic, delicious food and decent, great prices relative to the area. It offers quick service from nice cooks and generally friendly employees. The location is great and easy to get to, with front street, side, and rear parking, plus a nearby bus stop. The small place features ocean-themed decor with hand-painted walls and offers both indoor and outdoor seating, along with a water cooler.
The menu includes standout items like awesome California burritos with a great ratio of every ingredient and no pico, better carnitas, Carne Asada Nachos made with perfectly balanced portions, and both fish tacos and Carne asada street tacos. Portions are generous—a burrito is almost enough for two meals, and the nachos could easily feed two. Their red and green salsas are delicious, addictingly spicy, with the red being slightly spicier. While some find the carne asada tacos not the best and the fish taco could be crispier, it remains the cheapest food in Encinitas. With non-stop to-go orders, it is a highly recommended monthly meal worth a special trip.
