This was my first visit to Dona Juanita's Mexican Restaurant. The restaurant is clean and has a nice atmosphere. The menu is simple, but may be missing typical items you'd find at other Mexican restaurants. Pricing is a bit on the high end when compared to similar restaurants, but probably in-line with inflation...you will spend at least $15 per person for a meal here.
I ordered my food and waited probably a good 20 minutes before it came to the table. While I was waiting, however, the place started filling up and I noticed everyone receiving chips and salsa, although I was not offered/provided any. So, when I was able to get my server's attention, I asked if chips and salsa were provided; she apologized for forgetting to ask, but proceeded to tell me it was not included with the meal. I reviewed the menu (see images) while waiting to pay my ticket at the counter, and there was nothing listed on the menu indicating chips and salsa were available for purchase and how much it cost.
The staff was very friendly, but they were not very attentive during my visit. Aside from when I walked in, when she took my order, when I asked about chips, and when I was leaving, I was mostly ignored. The older lady who ran my credit card was very friendly and thanked me for coming in.
The food itself was okay. The rice was decent, but the refried beans were a bit runny and hard to eat with a fork. I got three green enchiladas, one beef, one cheese, and one chicken. The chicken was nothing to write home about, but the beef and cheese were pretty good; and the green sauce was on the thinner side and wasn't the best I've had, but still had decent flavor.
Keep in mind, as the menu notes, there is a 4% charge for using a credit card. I found this shocking as credit card companies only charge 3%, and never more than 3.5%. But since federal law allows up to 5%, they went for a higher number...which means they are making money on your using your credit card.
Overall, I would give this restaurant a 3.5 star rating; however, since that is not possible on Google, I give it a 3-star since I cannot, in good conscience, give it four.

overall worst food ever. The menudo tasted like dead animal, so did the consomé never eating here again and to high of a price just for low quality food.

Worst food I have ever eaten. The menudo tasted so bad and watered down, the only thing that was good was the bread.

I love this place! I eat here each time I come. Only one wish: I wish they carried the Splenda Sweetener instead of just "the pink stuff".? I look forward to eating here again on my next trip.

Good Mexican seasoning, spicy but delicious. You can breathe the family atmosphere. Coffee with cinnamon is like being in the mountains. Fast and hygienic service. If you try the corn tortillas, you'll even order them to go (they come in a dozen).

One of the best Mexican food places around. The homemade corn tortillas were amazing. Everything was super flavorful and cooked perfectly. Everyone loved their meals. Definitely a must try.
