Juanita's Best Mexican Food - Mexican restaurant in Colorado Springs - 2356 S Academy Blvd, USA

Are you looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant? How about some tasty food? Do you enjoy nice employees? What about delicious salsa and chips? Then look no further, you've found the place to be! This is my first time here and it certainly won't be my last either! I ordered six tacos for $9.99 and it was with chicken. The tacos were so scrumptious and mouth watering. If you like salsa and chips, they are bombastic here too. The salsa is made in house and the owner will not give the recipe out either. My server Nathaly was nice and helpful. She took care of my needs and answered my questions in regards to the tacos. I give this restaurant a high five out of five stars. I highly recommend bringing your friends and family to this establishment. You will not regret it, that's for sure.

I wouldn’t have stopped if I wasn’t hungry in the area but I will definitely be back. It’s an excellent menu for dine in and take out. Clean and joyful atmosphere. I had the chili relleno enchiladas and a horchata. Refreshing and fulfilling…plus service with a smile.

Came in for breakfast and ordered the chicken pozole and two tacos de lengua. The pozole was a bit bland but the lengua was the best I’ve ever had. The lengua is not finished on the flat top but I asked if they could and they did. As a result, it came out nice and crispy. Super delicious. Would come here for the lengua again.

I was looking forward to trying it, but the TV was so loud we didn't dine in. Our take out order was 20 minutes and they forgot our tortilla shells and the food was overpriced for the portions received. Overall a disappointing experience. Carna asade had two small pieces of meat and was not work $16.99. We got a cheese quesadilla also $12.50, but there wasn't anything to it. The worst part was the styrofoam container was definitely put in the microwave with the beans and rice which releases chemicals and the rice was so dry we didn't eat it. There styrofoam pieces in the beans when we tired to eat them.

I believe this place is way overated. I ate here because I was on a lunch break and it was convenient. I asked someone if it was a good place to eat and they told me that it really depends on what you order. They did tell me, however, that their birria cheese tacos was very good, but honestly, it wasn't... Sorry... It was greasy, heavy, and it lacked salt. Even their salsa, although fresh, lacked salt. On the plus side, the staff is very nice and they have really good prices. Maybe if I try something else I can change my mind but I doubt I'll return.

The green pazole is so bomb and the burrito is solid also. Went back the next day it was that good and reasonable prices too. Best mex in the springs.

Great portions and the flavors were okay. I should have asked if the Al Pastor was shredded (not a fan), which it was. I would go back to try something a little different.

WOW!!!! this has to be my ultimate FAVORITE 🤩 Mexican restaurant. Being Mexican myself, I'm not a fan of restaurants when I can easily make the same foods at home. Today, my husband and I decided to do something different. The items on the menu caught my attention. Certain items I grew up with in California were on the menu and the other items were similar to my mom's cooking as well as my Nana Lucy's (R.I.P.) I loved the roasted jalapenos and onions. The seasoning on the carne asada were on point. The fresh chips and salsa were out of this world with the perfect amount of spice 😍. The beans and rice tasted EXACTLY like my Nana's cooking😭 the music hit home and unlocked childhood memories I had forgotten. The homemade tortillas is what sold me. If you want GREAT AUTHENTIC MEXICAN food, you've come to the right place.
