Juanitas Taco Shop

I assumed this must be great for authentic Mexican food since there’s consistent business and often lines. Had 1 chicken taco here a couple years ago but it was bland so… I gave it another shot with Chicken tortilla soup. It was Bland chicken soup with tortillas. I was hoping to add the fresh cilantro, onions, radish, lime, salsa….from salsa bar but there is none. I asked for all of that but she said “it’s all in there “ as she pushed the bag toward me and threw in 3 tiny, bitty salsa portions of which I used all 3 in 1 serving (still bland). of a tub of approx 4 servings. Bland Soup and tortillas, no extra anything . This place is nothing to rave about.

The food was delicious and crafted that every bite had a new flavor and taste. My lovely date, and I, both got the California Burrito. A fresh soft flour tortilla that had a incredible seasoned grilled steak pieces, covered with a generous amount of Mexican Street fries. The cheese was melted perfectly, mixed with the house seasonings and sour cream. We asked for our guacamole on the side. Every bite was as delicious as the first. I enjoyed the burrito and it was worth the price, both in taste and quality, was only able to take down half at the restaurant. That's how big it was. Was only visiting the area but, I just might have to make another visit to try some of their other menu items. I would recommend the restaurant and the staff were very nice and a pleasure having them serve us. I enjoyed the food and will try and make it back soon.

We tried this place because it had a great review average. We ordered online early and was probably one of the first customers of the day. Our chips were fried beyond recognition and I’m insulted that they were even given to us like that. We ordered our rolled tacos without cheese due to our child’s sensitivity but they were covered in cheese. Other than that the food we could eat was …. Ok. The salsa was good as was the sprite, I wish I could leave a better review.

This place has some of the best Carnitas tacos hands down. My wife and I are from Los Angeles and know a thing or two about great tacos. We had was the standard Carnitas tacos and a Machaca burrito with the delicious salsa they serve to compliment the meal. The location is small but it’s big on tasty food. This is one of our definite stops on our way to Baja California.
