Surf and turf burrito was delicious
I've waited 15 years to try this place .. because I'm always rushing. Well, today I finally went in and had a meal. There is some front street parking, side parking and rear parking. There's also a bus stop less (101) than a block away but I walked to it from a nearby hotel. The notion of authentic food is obvious by the cashier's and cooks I had the opportunity to thank for such a delicious meal. I was fortunate enough to have my lunch to myself because no one was eating inside during my brief 1 hour there.. however there were non-stop to-go orders the whole time. I ordered my usual test food of Carne Asada Nachos and a Coke. The coke tasted like a coke should. It wasn't flat. The carne asada nachos were made with the exact amount of chips and fixings and meat. There was no chip eaten without something on it which is rare. Usually most places put too much chips. There was a good serving of guacamole, sour cream, unmelted cheese, pico de gallo and meat. It could easily feed 2 but I only ate 1x in the morning so this was my lunch and dinner. I opted for both red and green salsa .. which were both delicious. The red was slightly spicier but not too much. I have 1 before and 1 mid photos so you can see the balanced portions. In my opinion the cooks were nice and know how to cook in my humble opinion. The food was delicious and I'm definitely coming back tomorrow to test their breakfast burrito. I highly recommend coming in and trying their food. There's plenty to do in the area to walk off your meal afterwards. All in all .. definitely a monthly meal for me worth the extra 5 min drive from my office.

I make great carnitas. Juanita's is better. While all the sucker tourists wait in line at the Taco Stand, you can go here. Great prices, great food. If they only had beer, I would never leave......

Have given this place multiple chances now just over priced “mid“ shit. Really good location and spot is cool because they’ve kept it clean and haven’t updated it, But I can’t keep giving this place my money in good conscience

Food was decent, good crisp on rolled tacos. Burrito wasn't packed with flavor. Place is run down.
Awesome tacos! Yummy food.
I moved to Denver a couple years ago, and no matter what they tell you, real Mexican burritos don’t exist there. So I when I’m back, Juanita’s is my first stop.
The food is great, but the counter person is a stick in the mud. Food hasn't changed in 30 years. Liked it, but if the greeter doesn't give you any energy, it's not worth it.
Best taco shop in North County that has not changed its recipes or atmosphere at all since I was a kid.
