La Juanita

I chose this restaurant after reading the Google reviews, and I’m so glad I did—it was my first time in Alabama, and it did not disappoint. The food was so delicious that we ended up going back the very next day! The fresh condiments really stood out—they were flavorful and clearly made fresh. Our waitress, Chelsea, was warm, friendly, and very attentive throughout our visit. If I’m ever back in Birmingham, I’ll definitely be returning to La Juanita again.

I'm picky about AUTHENTIC Mexican food. My grandmother came from Mexico so I have high expectations. This place is amazing! The salsa was so fresh and homemade. The only issue I had is I wanted my eggs over medium and received them hard. My sauce was too "tomato" flavored for my liking but it was very mild for those that can't handle the heat and want flavor. Overall, it a great place to go. I'll be back.

Absolutely the best authentic Mexican food I’ve ever had. Bold full flavors, fresh ingredients. They have some pickled, habanero purple onions that are out of this world. My Husband and I split both the Quesabirras and loaded fajita nachos. It smelled so good that we got home an dived right in (no time for pics). Everything was delicious! If you are ever in Leeds or live in Leeds and want an authentic Mexican dish they are the place to be. Very clean inside and outside. The young ladies that served us were very nice and helpful. They also sell snack and candy items, very neatly displayed. We will most definitely be back again and again, so on and so forth. Thank you La Juanita for the deliciousness, we thoroughly enjoyed the food!

Flavors of Mexican culture are available locally without a Passport! We're so thankful to discover La Juanita Taqueria; have quickly made this stop a favorite. Will take the challenge to try more of the menu, but the faves are too alluring. Authentic runs throughout; the food, atmosphere, condiments bar, pan pantry, etc. make a visit more like a tourist's delight. Looking forward to next meal there.

Wow! This place looks small and family run and the food is REALLY good! Most of our group had a selection of tacos and they were VERY delicious. And the self serve salsa bar was awesome with about 5 different salsas to try along with Cole slaw and other toppings. This place is a “must try”!
