We found a gem of an authentic Mexican joint. Juanito's Place on W ave I in Lancaster is legit. Don't let the location fool you. Most times when you search for basic plates like huevos rancheros most do not live up to it but at Juanito's they are just like my moms. They are served with home made refried beans, eggs cooked your way, tortillas and potato chunks. The salsas set it off, a mild green salsa and a very nice spicy red salsa. We also tried the chilaquiles, wow, they were amazing, perfect crisp tortillas, spicy authentic salsa, cheese. A must try. They have a huge menu with many Mexican favorites. They seating are is small but could hold about 30 , very tight space but clean and bright. The staff are very friendly don't hesitate to ask for special requests. I cannot wait to return when I am in town again.

Large Menudo with patas!

It's been a long time since I've had some menudo with meat! This place knocked it out of the park! Best menudo ever!

This place is a small mom and pop restaurant. The family who runs it are very sweet. The food is delicious and the service is amazing.

Service was great... Brought my momma for breakfast we both ordered the Menudo and it is delicious... I ordered a chile verde burrito to go...First time here I will definitely come again

I really like the cashier but the cook needs to go. I had to overly season my food because when I take a bit if my pork enchiladas I'm chewing and there us NO FLAVOR at all. Idk how that is even possible?? Will not being going back.

We've eaten here a number of times for breakfast, and the food is always good. The service is average and the staff is friendly. We always come back because the food is good. We haven't tried their lunch and dinner yet, but I'm sure we're going to get there.

In town this week, my brother and I stopped by Don Gus for some old fashion Mexican Lunch…read more The food here is amazing and feels like its home made. We started with home made chips, fresh salsa and an amazing bean dip that had what tastes like chorizo and a hot sauce mix, it is addictive, a must have. Then we ordered our main meals, the Flautas have a lot of flavor and chicken served with guacamole and sour cream, we had the appetizer version, well worth it. We also had a nice sized 2 item lunch special, Chicken hard shell taco, cheese Enchilada typically with Rice and Beans, today I felt like a full plate of beans, all of the food was just like my mom made it, so good. They have many other lunch special options. We decided that a few drinks were a must. My brother ordered the Large (gigantic) Strawberry Margarita, not sure how he finished it on his own but it looked amazing, he said it had a lot of flavor. I had a large Modelo beer that really tied in the entire meal. The interior is old school Mexican theme, with various classic paintings with very plush furniture. The staff is very friend and come by to check on you on the regular. We felt well taken care of, we cannot wait to visit again. This is a hidden gem.

Okay we ordered take out. Yeah I know you always get F$@/ed over with take out and drive thru…read more Got home and first they advised they don't include chips and salsa with take out? (WTH!! If I was in the restaurant you'd give them. Was the thought in my head) dude must have heard my mind cause he said I'll include since your order is so large. The tray of tacos that were supposed to be a mix of 3 hard shell ground beef tacos, 4 asada, 1 chorizo , 1 shredded beef and 3 chicken with soft shells turned into 6 hard shells with burned beef (maybe) and 3 hard chicken shells. The Albondigas Soup didn't even come with the rice and cilantro! My sons Pescado Tostada de Ceviche and Camaron Tostada de Ceviche didn't have the actual tostadas so I am really wondering if they forgot to give us a bag. The posole Don't have any radish or cabbage to add to it. And my daughter in law tossed the tamarind out cause she said it tasted spoiled . My hard not soft shelled chicken taco had bones in it. Please the pic! But note my mother who's currently sick said her Albondigas soup tasted ok to her. Let just say for the $$ I spent I am very unhappy!! I am thinking of calling the inspectors about the taste and freshness of this food as I am already feeling funny. I implore you to stop and rethink then change destination's before heading to this place. I ended up having to eat a bowl of cream of wheat cause my stomach felt funny.

Best Carne Asada tacos in the Antelope Valley! I also love the carnitas tacos and the machaca!…read moreJust awesome! The place is always so clean and proudly display their A rating right by the door. They've got about eight styles of meats to choose from and the prices for the tacos are SO affordable. They also offer a full menu of classic Mexican plates which include rice and beans... they also have menudo and lots of other stuff. If you're dining in be sure to get the complimentary chips and salsa while you wait. The table salsa is to die for... it is superb. The owner is the nicest person you'll ever meet as is her whole staff. Highly recommended.... go try it! Mike Piccirillo West Palmdale/Quartz Hill

We stopped by Tortilla Grill and it was pretty busy when we walked in, so we stood around for a bit…read morewaiting to be helped. There was one cashier on the phone and two other girls serving tables, so it took a minute before we could place our order. It's a small, casual spot with people constantly coming in and out. I ordered a sopes plate with a taco de tripas. The sopes themselves were actually really good, but unfortunately my rice and beans were cold, so I didn't eat them. The tripas were overcooked. So crunchy they felt like eating popcorn, which was disappointing. My husband ordered a torta de carnitas and a taco al pastor. The al pastor marinade was pretty mediocre, nothing special, and the torta was just okay. We also ordered a burrito with asada and rice only and again, the rice came out cold while the meat was hot. They did bring us chips and salsa, and the red spicy salsa was actually good, probably the best part of the meal. Overall, this place is okay but very mediocre. With how expensive eating out is these days, I'm really picky about where I spend my money, and this didn't feel worth it. There are definitely better, Mexican spots in Lancaster that I'd rather go to. I probably won't be coming back.
