Customer Reviews
A Hidden Gem with Unforgettable Flavor! Juanita’s Restaurant is an absolute delight! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a spotless dining area—always a great first impression. But let’s talk about the real star of the show: the food!🤤🤤 We indulged in a steak torta dinner, a Mexican steak dinner, and a steak taco, each bite bursting with authentic flavor. The steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection— To wash it all down, we enjoyed refreshing horchata and limonada, both perfectly balanced and just what we needed. And because we clearly couldn’t get enough, we left with two bags of chicharrones de harina—because why not keep the deliciousness going at home? Between the amazing food, top-notch service, and clean, welcoming atmosphere, Juan
My family, including young children, enjoyed Juanita's. Don't let the inconspicuous facade fool you, the inside is warm and inviting with delicious recipes. I liked the chicken mole so much I complemented the earthly flavor--that unmistakable blend of chocolate, nut, and cinnamon--to our server only to learn it's a family recipe prepared fresh each day. Five stars for food and service, I'd give five stars for atmosphere but I save five stars for Mexican restaurants that put chips and salsa on the table as a welcoming gesture. Lastly, the prices at Juanita's are reasonable for the quality of the food. It a world of bland corporate chains, I'm happy to support genuinely local, family-run businesses.
I ordered a veggie burrito & it was ok. The rice was really good & I can appreciate that. My boyfriend got a sopes with grilled veggies & avocado & tomatoes he ate his before I could get a pic.
Always great food! The family environment makes you feel at home! The miches are always made to perfection. Definitely a little hidden gem of Cville.
We had a great time. Small place. Friendly waitress. Great food. Beef steak tacos were very flavorful. Ground beef taco didn't have much flavor. Lingua buritto was not salty - and was huge. Good variety of beverages. Liquor available. Bar area. TVs were NOT on - love that!!! Separate men and woman's private washroom with one toilet. NOT very visible from the road. Across from the movie theater and behind a car wash at the end of the mini strip mall.
