Love this place, truly grandmas home cooking!
I eat there often, Juanita knows my preferences, food is always fresh and with the authentic Mexican flavor... I love the tortillas de harina, no machine can make them as good...
Best Mexican Food. Love this place...small place but they make it up with the delicious food.
Can it get any better?. The food was great. Haven't had food like that since I was growing up and I used to go to my friend's house and his mother would be back in the kitchen making some real deal Mexican food. I almost cried. There are no words...
Best mexican food restaurant in albuquerque. Fresh hand made tortillas and good prices.
A Little Piece of Mexicana. As soon as I walked in this little place I knew it was going to be something special. Little old man in a cowboy hat watching game shows in a wheelchair to one side. Couple of hombres chowing down at a table in the corner...
I ordered the Carne Asada Burrito and it was great, lots of lean Steak with melted cheese covered in a layer of spicy Red Chile. My wife got a combo plate and there wasnt a dud in the bunch. This place was easily the best Hole In The Wall Mexican restaurant we've found in Albuquerque (along with Taqueria Mexico). Our waitress was very nice and kept the ice water filled. The bill was well below $20.
Highly Recommended.
We decided to try a new place for lunch and this was close by. It's a small place with a little parking, but what a little treasure! Homemade chips and salsa at your table, the chips still warm in the basket. My BFF said the salsa was "a little zippy", which means hot in the real world. LOL
He got the chicharrones burrito and I chose the 3 rolled cheese enchilada plate. (red on the side) I didn't use much of the red since it had great flavor, but had a punch after a moment. To be fair, my spicy tolerance has lowered, so if yours is average, go for it. The beans were delicious as well. The big surprise was the rice. Layers of seasoning flavor this and I liked it. I normally never like the rice, but this was the first good one I've had. I got the sense this is yummy "grandma-style" cooking. It's only open until 2:45pm, but we'll definitely be back! (I also love those Mexican cokes in the bottle. So much better.)
Homemade flour tortillas food , coffee everything was delicious . The place is cozy and very clean . Everyone was super nice people .
Just go, what are you waiting for? The food is amazing! If you go for lunch call ahead at least 30-45 minutes, that way you can get your food once you sit down. It will still be warm.
Food is absolutely delicious! Very welcoming dining area. Felt like I was home with the family. Good portions and seasoned to traditional perfección!
Fantastic little place! Awesome Huevos Racheros (Christmas, of course) and a very nice staff. A MUST TRY!
Two Juanita's burritos, fresh tortilla chips, salsa for under $14. Food came out fast, hot and delicious. This is one of the only restaurants in the area that's open Saturday morning...cheers.
This is a special place!! Thank you Juanita's. When I think of ABQ I will instantly think of your dining room, top notch rice and beans, homemade tortillas, tasty chips and salsa. Truly one of ABQ's best.
Accidentally found this place about 5 years ago and eat there at least once a week. The food is very delicious and Juanita is just the cutest woman ever. There is nothing I have eaten here that was bad. Well worth the money but to be honest, it's not expensive. Green Chili is a little hot though but very tasty indeed. If you haven't eaten here, you definitely need to give it a shot. Pictured is the Red Tampiquena. It comes with chopped beef, onions, tomatoes and Jalapenos. There is a cheese enchilada hidden under the meat and you get 2 beef flautas with sour cream and avocado. This dish comes with beans and rice.
Juanita's is the best food in Albuquerque. We go there at least 3 times a week. We just can't get enough of her delicious home made food. I love her bean's, her rice, her Chile, well just love all her food. And a coke in a cold bottle. The BEST food in Albuquerque. Thank you Juanita for your wonderful food and you all are so nice and friendly. Feels like family ❤️.
I've eating here twice and I really enjoyed the meals. Just want to say thank you for your service..
