We were surprised to see we walked into the 6th best restaurant in New Mexico. Once the food came…read moreout, we started to understand why. Everything tasted as if it was freshly prepared in a close friend's home. The food was spiced well, the cheese on the bean was melted, and portions were great. The service was comforting too. The inside feels homey, bright colors, and cool from the strong AC. That is a bonus in the desert heat. The only downside is that chips and salsa were not included. I would have loved to try some other salsas with my chili colorado plate. Their salsa verde on the chimichanga plate was fantastic.

Inexpensive for what you get! Pretty good authentic Mexican food. We had beef enchilada (with red…read moresauce), crunchy tacos, street tacos and chicken enchiladas with green sauce. For dessert, we tried a few flavors of churro's, plain caramel and a Bavarian cream. They bring out chips and salsa ahead (think it's $3 for unlimited). Salsa's were ok and the chips were too thick for our liking. The street tacos were excellent! Definitely recommend. The crunchy tacos were great too. Super fresh. Service was great!

If you order anything extra, queso, cheese, anything, the price goes up five or six dollars immediately. I ate for my last time there today. The fajita beef was so chewy. I'd have to spit it out and I made a little pile of meat and just finally quit eating it. I asked if they could help out on the bill since I didn't need it and they gave me a generous 10%. My reply was, well it's the last time you'll ever see me. I had to order a waffle so I could leave there at least four and not have to go to a 2nd place. Took about $32 to get a burrito and a waffle. The bacon is usually raw, the hashbrowns are never browned...... I don't have. I'll stay in business serving the crap that I got today.

I had a stuffed sopapilla, which at other places was greasy and heavy. Here the sopapilla has thin layers, like a croissant and then they stuff that with all kinds of great things. They top it with a side of green chili. I have not understood the appeal of green chili till today. The mall looks like a ghost town, but trust me you want to go inside and feast at Juan's.

Food: A bit of a disappointment because I initially checked out the menu online only to find I had actually looked at the menu for their sister pub in Las Cruces which has way better food options.
