Went to Juan’s on a Wednesday night around 8:40 for the first time. The restaurant wasn’t packed, but I heard it gets packed during busy hours. Before we got to order you get a fresh serving of chips and salsa. THIS IS A TRAP! The chips are SO fresh and crispy and the salsa has the perfect level spice and seasoning. So obviously and I finished the whole serving. Then the server brought another order of the chips… The chips are unlimited and so delicious, but I wouldn’t recommend eating too much or you’ll have trouble finishing your entree. My group ordered the Empanadas de Birria, Burrito Pastor, and Molcajete. Empanadas were slightly crispy and flakey. The empanadas comes in the count of 3 and the filling is full of meat with a side of meaty oil sauce. The Burrito Pastor was very in portion. It was plated with cheese and salsa verde on the side of the burrito and was topped with avocados and jalapeños. The meat filling was very tender and juicy. Each bite had the sweetness from pineapple and sometimes you would bite into a pineapple which was like a little hidden treat. Finally, the Molcajete was a huge meal that included tons of different types of protein in a heated mortar with a side of rice, vegetable, and tortilla. The portion for this dish was HUGE! The meat were all tender and very well seasoned to go with the rice and veggies. The server who served us was also very polite and chill. He would check up on us often to make sure our water was full and if we needed anything else. Overall the whole experience was phenomenal and I would recommend to anyone who is in the area. Fun little side note: Each refill for water our server added another lemon to the cup. So I, in total, had 4 lemons floating in my cup and my friend and I thought it was a fun way to keep track of how many refills we got.

Food here is always good. We ordered the Molcajete (in the black bowl) & the Fried Chimichangas (Without Tomatoes & Lettuce) I also had a Blood Orange Margarita which was yummy. Try the Cheese Dip for the Tortilla Chips. It’s so good. We use any leftover cheese dip on our meals. It’s really good mixed in with their Mexican rice. Service is always friendly. Would definitely recommend stopping in for a bite.

It was ok. We did have great service, food came out fast. Juan's is just not my personal favorite. Ended up their per someone else's request in the party. Still, I wouldn't discourage anyone from giving it a try.

Good food. Pricey for what you get. But the tacos ate amazing, the price and beans are how I judge them and they were really good. Service was okay.
