Juan's Tacos is on the ground level of Laketown Wharf, where I stayed in a condo for six weeks. During that time, I had the absolute pleasure of grabbing tacos there multiple times. My first visit, I tried one Chicken and one Chorizo taco. The Chorizo was fantastic, but the flavor of the Chicken completely surprised me. Over the next few weeks, I tried the Pork Belly, the Birria, and the Shrimp. All were excellent. The shrimp was plump, the Birria was tender, and if I had to pick a favorite, the Pork Belly probably takes the win. One thing about all of Juan's tacos, they pack them so full the filling barely fits in the tortilla. On my last visit, I went with one Pork Belly taco and one Chicken taco. The staff is super friendly, and the atmosphere is just fun. While I was down there, Juan was in the process of opening his new location. He'd posted a bunch of videos on social media about it, and he really comes across as a genuinely great guy. I wish him and his whole team nothing but the best. Juan Love!!! read more

We ended up at Juan's Tacos after our first choice was closed, and unfortunately the experience lived up to their slogan "Juan's tacos suck." When you walk in, it is an order at the counter and seat yourself setup, which gives it a fast food kind of vibe. The menu consists of laminated sheets near the register, which already made the place feel a bit underwhelming. The prices were honestly shocking. One taco was over $6, and all sides and drinks are separate. We ordered a side of chips and salsa and queso, along with a burrito, a kids taco, a steak taco, and a bowl. One odd thing was the lack of basic toppings or modifications. There was no sour cream, no olives, and strangely no lettuce. After we sat down, we noticed a kids corner, which was nice. However, there were no high chairs, which made it inconvenient. It took about 10 minutes to get our food. While we were getting settled and grabbing drinks, the ice ran out and the sodas were flat. The chips, queso, and salsa came out first, and that was one of the worst parts of the experience. The chips tasted like cheap bagged tortilla chips, and the salsa seemed like it came from a jar. When the main food came out, it was disappointing. Everything was served on flour tortillas, the cheese tasted like mozzarella, and the kids taco was just meat in a tortilla. Everything was extremely salty. My husband could not even finish his burrito. My bowl was especially odd with cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and sweet pickled onions. The birria meat was very salty and tasted more like a crockpot roast than anything else. There really was no reason to complain to the staff. I am fine paying for what we ordered, and I do not think there was anything they could have done to make it right. None of us finished our meals, and we will not be going out of our way to come back. read more

Stopped in Juan's Taco for a quick lunch today after a long travel day. I ordered the nachos with chicken for my protein. I was very surprised at the nice portion when they arrived at the table. They were really good and feeling. I had plenty left over. The prices are little on the expensive side, but everyone in my party really enjoyed their food. read more

The best mexican restaurant I've been to in my life. The atmosphere is so welcoming and the food is just as amazing. I got the chicken quesadilla, and the chips and salsa. The salsa was unique and so yummy. It's cheap compared to other restaurants in this area, the service was nice, super quick, and SO GOOD. Please try this restaurant if you are in the area. It isn't busy enough at all!!! read more

First of all, be warned you have to get a free parking pass before you park or security will stop you. You can't even park in a "Retail Parking" spot without one. The food here is very mid. Pricey for what it is. Everything is either over seasoned or underseasoned. The chips were a little stale and the salsa was very bland. Tasted like mostly ground up tomatoes. And it's not free like most places. It costs extra. The saving grace was the carnitas taco. That alone was five stars. Absolutely exceptional flavor and texture. read more

Pork Belly (everything) was a 10/10. Absolutely delicious. I unfortunately didn't get to meet Juan, but I did get to taste his apparent Facebook-famous Walmart ingredients. Despite me going to Walmart weekly, I could not have prepared such a delicious meal myself. Thank you Carrie Folgeman for the recommendation. read more

I drove back happy with amazing carnitas tacos and shrimp they were epic. I live in GA and think about these tacos! Best of all they sell mason jars of margarita different flavors.

Juan Taco - Tacos on the beach bruh - Tacos Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

Finally found a taco joint worthy of my taste buds. Nice simple menu and easy ordering. Very clean and relaxing dining area. Outdoor seating near the water but I think you have to order to go if you want to take your meal out there. I tried both the chicken and ground beef (no carne asada option which is usually my litmus test). Both had delectable seasoning (worthy of my taste buds) and a very generous portion of protein. So if you're in Panama City Beach and want seriously delicious taco then stop in Juan Taco. Also, check for their daily specials I was told the have a steak quesadilla... One more thing. It's in a resort parking lot. It's free to park there for a limited time once you check in with the guy at the gate. read more

What a find! Lucky I was staying nearby! The food was fresh and fabulous, the quesadillas w carnitas was fantastic, w tasty tender pork carnitas, cheese and a super house made sauce. The taco was good too, my only complaint a little too much sauce that overpowered the carnitas flavor. Math was very good, a bit on the limey side. read more

This place is so cute and great food! The shrimp tacos are money!! Would highly recommend this place. You can sit inside or there's a great court yard area on the backside with a pond. Awesome tacos! read more

Not for me. The queso was lukewarm at best. Chips okay. Beef taco had the weirdest taste ever. Took 2 bites and threw away. Nice staff but not my taste. read more

The carnitas grilled cheese is to die for!! I forgot to tag this restaurant and it took me months to remember where it was (I didn't drive). The staff was friendly and funny and the dining space was my favorite eccentric! This will be a regular for me! read more

Juan Taco - Yummy grub So good - Tacos Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

Tried this place out. The food cwas really good. Service was fast. I loved that it's off the boardwalk.

Visited Juan Taco yesterday while on vacation in PCB. Starting with Drew -- he was so welcoming with a personality bigger than Texas where we came here from. Walked in a stranger and felt like we were regulars when we left. The vibe is so eclectic and exactly what you'd want a beachside taco spot to feel like. The food was great. Highly recommend the spicy cucumbers. What a fun and delicious menu item. My only complaint and I loosely even say complaint ... the chips were meh but the salsa was delicious and was surely freshly made. The tacos and quesadillas we ordered were great as well! All around 4.9 experience! If you're in PCB-- this is a must stop in. Tell Drew you saw Alice's review. read more

Simply the best tacos I think I have ever had, anywhere. The most amazing flavors, great portions and always simply delicious. We own a property in the area, and make sure to visit two or three times every time we come visit. I wish we had one in Colorado. Service is always great, the location is awesome at the Laketown Wharf read more

Juan Taco was our last food stop as we headed back to Orlando. The Menu is simple. Pick your protein or veggie option and choose from tacos, nachos, burritos or quesadillas. We tried everything but the burritos. My step dad got two beef tacos and loved them. My mom had the carnitas nachos which had goat cheese. It added a tang to the nachos that was appreciated and different. My kid had the staple kids meal: chicken and cheese quesadilla. It was loaded with juicy chicken and cheese. She enjoyed it. Get tons of napkins! I had one chicken taco, one shrimp taco, and chips and salsa. The flavors were bold and the proteins cooked perfectly. I added the homemade taco sauce to everything. The salsa was a bit on the thick side with a sweet flavor. So if that's not your thing skip that. Loved the humor and fun spirit of the place. Lots of dick pics drawn on the bathroom walls. It added some giggles to my day. Gender neutral bathroom which I love. Definitely will visit again next time I'm in town! read more

My sweet husband took me to this place after reading all of the good reviews. Wow! A unique twist on quesadillas and nachos that gets you out of the norm. Will add this place to our rotation. read more

I had the shrimp and the chicken tacos. Phenomenal! Definitely going to go back. Flavors were beautiful, service was fast and friendly, and did I mention the tacos? read more

My family and I got recommended this place by our Airbnb host and came here for lunch during our vacation in PCB. We each ordered two tacos and tried a variety: chicken, shrimp, and birria, along with a carnitas burrito. All the food was hot, fresh, and cooked to order, and the service was fast and friendly. Although I couldn't call the tacos authentic Mexican, they were very flavorful and delicious. We even went back for seconds after we finished our first batch, which I don't think we've done anywhere else ever! I would definitely recommend this place as a quick and casual lunch or dinner while in PCB. read more

I wanted to like this place but I didn't. I tried to order online but it said it was sold out so I had to do DOORDASH. Nacho & 2 burritos cost me $50!!!!! The beef burrito had a taste of curry seasoning and the salsa that was given tasted just like franks red or red hot hot sauce nothing pico or fresh. The chicken was rubbery in the chicken burrito and nachos so my son picked it out and had just cheese and chips . Definitely won't be going there when returning to PCB. I wanted to Like it but didn't. read more

The food was amazing, and our server Colton, was an absolute pleasure to speak with! Highly recommend the marinated carnitas.

Was looking for a coffee shop and breakfast but saw the clever sign and came in. Ordered a grilled cheese with carnitas, brie and strawberry jam on sliced white bread unsure what I'd get. First bite was dry but when I got to the combo of the flavors I was more than satisfied with my choice and change in plans. The owner was friendly and helpful and even checked on me even though it's a counter order place. Love the vibe, music is impressive and like the clean dive vibe. read more

Atmosphere is great. Employees are great. The chicken burritos we both got were below average. Just not much flavor. We will try something different on my next visit and hopefully have more favorable entrees. read more

Food is decent. But the hanging lamps that are directly in your line of vision stops you from being able to see the person you're eating with. Whoever designed this should be out of a job. read more

Just ate here tonight for the first time. I would have to say I was very impressed with the food. I had the pork belly taco and the ground beef taco. Both were very good and loaded with flavor and loaded with meat. I eat at places all over the country and this is one of my top taco places now. read more

The server was very nice and accommodating. I was disappointed when he said the pork belly taco was only on Wed & Sunday. I'll be back to try the pork belly tomorrow. I had a shrimp taco. The shrimp were cooked well but the taco was overpowered by the red onion. The meat taco was strong on the cumin& not really anything special. The rice & beans were heavy handed salted read more

This is hands down my favorite restaurant from when I lived on the beach. Its a family owned small shop run by trained chefs. The food is so delicious it fires up the 'pain water' just thinking about it. The kitchen and service staff are exceptionally skilled. The thing that sets it apart, though, is just how goddamned smart and thoughtful the two chefs involved are with their menu. This is especially true when they hold special events (e.g. tapas nights) when they flex their talents and really lay their hearts on the proverbial table. I hope you appreciate the joy they've shared as much as I do! read more

Cool place in the bottom floor of wharf hotel. You can get to this without going into hotel though. Cool vibe inside. Small menu and our whole group enjoyed their meal. The classic margaritas get a 5 star rating! The queso was a little runny for our liking but we enjoyed the flavor, would be fabulous on a smothered burrito though. Our group also enjoyed the nachos, quesadillas, burrito, and birria tacos read more

Best meal of our trip. Get the quesadilla. One of the best I've ever had. I highly recommend the beef tacos too

We grabbed dinner one night at Juan Taco. It's located at the Wharf and you have to get a parking pass from a security guard if you are not staying at that hotel. It wasn't a problem though. The vibe is laid back chill. You order and then walk to the back area while you await your food. I got two tacos and my husband got a chicken quesadilla. We both loved our food and definitely recommend this place. read more

I went into the establishment and asked what was the most popular dish and the owner Juan responded with "that's a stupid question you might want to read the menu". As we left the owner Juan yelled to us "good luck with those questions". I have never been treated so bad in a business. Also they don't have carne asada...... read more

It's an okay place to have some entertainment, but the food has not flavored and the drinks were very sad.
