Juanita’s Mexican Grill

Delicious Juanitas dip (quest and ground beef). Their ritas were pretty delicious, even during happy hour; some places seem to water down their ritas during happy hour and they didn’t. Tuesdays they have $ 2 ritas until 9, can’t go wrong with that. Great service.

Place was great a few years ago, but the past few times I’ve been, things have gone downhill. I do not plan to ever return after the last visit. Sat for 20 minutes for a drink order, restaurant was at ¼ capacity. Took another 20 minutes for server to come back to take my order. By that time I just paid for my michelada and left. The food is ok, used to better but when service sucks, it’s time to move on.

I ate there last week. The service is great, but their food seems like it’s pre-​frozen, and popped in the microwave as soon as you place and order. I got the tamales last time, they tasted as if they came straight from a box. The waiter interrupted to much to relax and enjoy.

This restaurant is AMAZING! Staff are polite and food is more than reasonable. Fajitas are great! So much better than the crap you get at chain places.

It was my first time here and I don’t think I will be back any time soon. They do have a large menu and choices reasonably priced but they do not make fresh lemonade and the salsa was not up to my standards.

I went here with a group of friends for dinner the other night and lets just say it is hard to find good Mexican food in the area, which is hard to believe. Our service was a bit off. The food was just… meh? Once we were done, we saw our waiter grab a chip and eat off the plate. That was a bit much for us. Their drinks were good and I know they have pretty good specials during the week. I think that was the last time for us.

Roaches every time I go in. Thrice. Three times. First time I thought maybe it had gotten in the door. Second time it was on the table, which is disgusting in itself. I vowed to never go back, but then a friend had her birthday party there, and there was some sort of beetle IN THE MARGARITA. I used to love the picked carrots they served, but I just can’t handle them. Done.

Good service but very, very mediocre Mexican food. Beef taco el carbon was terrible but cheese enchilada was good along with chips and salsa. 3 star rating only because of good service.

The service is great but the food is seriously equal to something I can buy out of a can or freezer section at Kroger across the street — I’ll continue to go for cheap margueritas but the food just isn’t good.

We live nearby and have been to Juanita’s at least 10 times so far in the last 18 months.
I haven’t had their fajitas since we make our own, but I enjoy their burritos and quesadillas. I also liked their nachos. My husband loves their tacos al carbon and enchiladas (the chicken ones are his favorite). Our friend, Beth, truly enjoys their carne asada.
I know it’s odd to point out a simple beverage, but I really enjoy their tea (sweet or unsweet, both are great). It’s more refreshing than other tea if that makes sense…
So, I am giving their food a solid 4 stars and their service is stellar, like 5+ stars. Is it the best Mexican restaurant that ever existed? Probably not. But they are priced well, I like their food, and their service is excellent.
Oh, and yes, I skip the «live band» evenings when I can… it is a bit loud and silly in a not-​good-​way that Sam V mentioned. But I think he didn’t get to taste much of their food.

Came here the other night for the first time to try their fajitas (I had a coupon) — fantastic! Some of the reviewers have been criticizing the fajitas for being flavorless, but I don’t know what they’re talking about. Having grown up very close to Mexico with a love of mexican food, I can vouch for the food’s authenticity and flavor. The rice could use maybe a little work, but everything else was fresh and delicious. Particularly impressive were the nachos my table ordered — I couldn’t get enough! I don’t remember the exact name, but I think it was the «super nachos» — fairly standard stuff (fajita meat, cheese, and refried beans on top of tortilla chips with all the fixings).
The service was spot on — someone was always coming around to refill our drinks, the staff was extremely courteous, and the food came out of the kitchen quickly. The atmosphere could use some work, however — don’t come here if you want a quiet dining experience. It’s a great choice for families, though, and very child-​friendly.
I’ve come to the restaurant twice now and anticipate that I will be returning soon. Definitely give Juanita’s a try!

My husband and I walked in here and cheese and rice did it smell like feet and straight s***. That is by far the nastiest odor I’ve smelt! I don’t want the place where I’m about to eat at to smell like road kill. Yes, the service I assume would have been great if we would have gone in further but once we got that whiff, we were gone.
When we opened the door we were immediately greeted and told to take our seats but we just left.
Maybe take-​out or delivery should be an option.

Went to Juanitas tonight with my wife. Ordered 2 Happy Hour Frozen Margaritas and they were the best around. The Salsa’s (2 kinds with a veggie dish) and Thin Chips are Great… Loved It All. We had the Steak Fajitas for 2 and it was fantastic. Great Flavor and lots of it. Everything was really fresh and tasty. The Service is Far Better Than Anywhere Else and we really mean that… service gets 10 stars if it was possible. Great Bunds of People here. The only draw back I see in the entire restaurant is they have a smoking are in the back. It was not crowded tonight so we did not smell it where we were sitting, but when you walk in and sit along the far wall, you could smell the smoke… We changed tables to the other side and did not smell any smoke but it also was not crowded. Wish they would not allow it at all. Smoking is not allowed, I think, on Friday night after 5pm (sign up front, I think says this). Anyway, the food, service and drinks are GREAT…

This place right by where I work. I decided to come for lunch one day. The service is great and so is the food. The fajitas are excellent. They automatically bring a bowl of Queso and it’s free.

Juanitas by far does not deserve a 2 star rating definitely a 3.5+ 4. Yes, of course some dishes aren’t to my liking. I wouldn’t order fajitas here… it’s weak. BUT THERE ENCHILADAS! Order theirs with chicken and huevos on top. Omg, delish. My bro orders some steak meat wrapped in jalepenos and bacon. Esmeralde –Very good. His gf loves the fajitas diablos (prepared differently compared to regular fajitas). SERVICE IS TWO THUMBS UP. This isn’t my fab Mexican restaurant but when it comes to certain items on the menu YES!

Man oh man, what a bummer having to give this place two stars, because the service here was beyond excellent. But the food — the FOOD — just not very good at all. The fajita’s had no taste to them — seriously — no taste! Salsa — not bad. Tortilla’s — not fresh made by a longshot, in fact, they were one degree short of raw.
And seriously folks, a dude on a casio synthesizer with a Radio Shack light show does not a live band make. In fact, this is well known to reduce one’s appetite.
Looks like there are no longer any good Mexican joints in the Louetta/​Kuykendahl area. Drag.
