Juanita Cantina

Mhmmmm mmmm mmm. I hadn't even taken a bite out ot the tacos before I came here to write a review. I've been on a passion fruit kick lately and the passion fruit margarita just hit the absolute spot.. its delicious. The al pastor tacos where also just as delicious.

Juanita Cantina did not disappoint! The Carnitas Cantina Tacos were delicious, and the house margarita was the best I’ve had in months. Say what you want, but when I'm in a Mexican restaurant and the entire staff is speaking Spanish, I know I'm in the right place! Plus, their Happy Hour deals are unbeatable. Highly recommend!

I normally get photos as new places, but I was too busy catching up with a girlfriend. I ordered a cup of tortilla soup and side of guac, along with a Cadillac margarita. The soup was a generous size for a cup. This was the best tortilla soup I've ever had! Maybe I got lucky, but there was a ton of chicken and the broth was excellently seasoned. I loved the guacamole with the chips, too. The margarita was good, but kind of small for $15 and house liquor. Service was great. My friend had the nachos and said they were awesome bc the chips are thick, so there weren't any mushy ones on the bottom.

Our local cantina may not be a one-way ticket to Mexico, but it's our weekly tradition and we couldn't be happier. This isn't a place that relies on flashy gimmicks or a hyper-authentic facade. Instead, it's a spot that earns its stripes through solid food, a clean space, and a staff that treats you like family once they get to know you. It's been a few different restaurants over the last decade, but this current version is, without a doubt, the best. With a great happy hour and being only a block away, it's become our go-to spot. Our usual order is the carnitas plate and an ice-cold beer on tap. We also can't resist their delicious queso with chorizo on top, or the satisfying street tacos during happy hour. For drinks, their Oaxacan old-fashioned is a standout, and they have an impressi

This had been our favorite Mexican in Kirkland with a great happy hour and dinner options but over the past few months my husband and I have both had food poisoning with the al pastor, his a two months or so ago and mine yesterday. All other meals have been fine and although the al pastor was delicious, I don’t wish that evening on anyone.
