    if you don't eat, i'm making type

    I think I left a review before but It asked me to leave one again so I will. This is absolutely one of the best places for Mexican food in Carson City if you're looking for a typical, yet modern Mexican menu. Tonight I ordered the chorizo and potato flautas. Oh wow that's all I can say. The customer service is always awesome and you'll always see Juan is walking around making sure everything is ok as well as his amazing wife. The waitresses are so sweet. The decorations alone are enough to go in. It's super awesome inside.

    Tacos are the best, delicious and fresh . I like coming for taco Tuesday or Thursday happy hour! One of a kind! The whole staff is friendly and welcoming. Thanks Juan

    Taco Tuesday & Thursday plus a full menu that has a plethora of amazing homemade family dishes - YEP that is what you will find if you come to Juan's Mexican Grill. They even serve breakfast - OMGoodness how can it get any better than that!! How about homemade complimentary pico salsa and chips and let me share an inside secret with you - if they aren't to busy ask for the special hot sauces from the back, but be warned they are not for the faint of heart, these are flavorful, tasty and HOT!! Taco Tuesday & Thursday all the locals know that these are by far 'THE BEST' tacos ever!! Stuffed with seasoned ground beef and shredded chicken, lettuce, tomato and fresh grated cheese - OMTASTY!! Please don't forget to ask for the Special, '2 Tacos & a draft beer for $5.99' w/complimentary chips and homemade pico salsa - yummmmmy!! Prepare for it to be a bit hectic but it's well worth it and as you will read in my review below again the staff will always greet you with a smile and go out of their way to make your experience GREAT! Now for me, my other go to meals are their two enchilada plate or Governor Guinn Special enchiladas that come with homemade beans and rice plus those tasty complimentary chips and pico salsa. Recently, we popped in for breakfast and once again it was delicious - I opted for the Simple Breakfast which came with eggs, potatoes and toast - I chose over medium eggs (cooked perfectly), home potatoes (these were lightly crisp and also cooked perfectly - loved the touch of bell pepper) and sourdough toast and the coffee was delish! Service is ALWAYS with a smile, no matter how busy it is, and each staff member goes out of their way to make sure that your experience is GREAT (like I said above). My husband and I literally said today, we have never noticed in all the years of coming here that everyone working here is smiling and trying to the best of their ability to make sure you have what you need and happy - WAY TO GO Juan's that speaks volumes! The restaurant and tables are always clean and ready to go for the next guests arrival and even though they are in a casino (why 1 star less - I can't stand the smoke) Juan and his staff make you feel comfortable and welcome. GREAT food and GREAT service - we LOVE Juan's Mexican Grill and the staff!

    I recommend this restaurant if you're ever visiting Carson City…read more Hours: Daily, 11:00 AM-9:00 PM Happy Hour: 4:00 PM-6:00 PM Parking: Free with plenty of spaces in the shopping complex. Ambiance: Relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere with Mexican-inspired décor and cultural touches throughout the restaurant. There was a steady flow of guests, giving the place a lively but comfortable feel. Restrooms: Clean and decent, although a bit outdated. Service: Friendly but somewhat disorganized, possibly because we had a large group. The waitress initially told me the bartender was busy, but later realized she had never entered my drink order. She apologized and removed it from the bill. She also brought the wrong entrée for one of my friends but corrected it promptly. On a positive note, she graciously accommodated another friend's custom drink request even though it wasn't on the menu. Chips & Salsa: The first basket is complimentary. We were told additional baskets normally have a charge, but during our visit we were offered unlimited refills. Food: Fresh, authentic, and generously portioned. Recommended dishes: Salmon Atlántico, Fish Tacos, Artichoke Dip, Enchiladas, and Bistec.

The each of the proteins in the tacos were cooked perfectly and flavorful with sauces that complemented them. The coconut shrimp were mouth watering good! Unfortunately tonight we only had water as every drink we ordered they were out of (including margaritas ). We definitely will be back and hopefully the bar will be better stocked.

The birria and quesabirrias are absolutely delicious--very flavorful without being overly salty. I also loved the combination of condiments. Nothing was overwhelmingly spicy, but if you like more heat, you can definitely request it. The service was excellent--attentive, cordial, and respectful. The ambiance is definitely a small, hole-in-the-wall type of spot, but honestly, don't let the size fool you--the food is delicious! Sometimes the best food comes from the smallest places. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

This location is not a flashy place, it is very simple. But, the food is incredible. I opted for a simple order of carne asada tacos and al pastor tacos. These are my barometer dishes to guage the quality of the food. Both of the tacos were wonderful. The carne asada was seasoned and grilled to perfection. The al pastor was marinated and juicy and so full of flavor. The sign to me that this spot is focused on the food was the handmade tortillas. It takes a lot of effort and skill to be able to make perfect corn tortillas! The ladies behind the counter were so friendly and I could tell they put a lot of love into the food they prepare. I will recommend this spot to anyone that is looking fro great food in North Carson.

And the food tastes just as good, and the same, as it did back in the 70's.

Nice and crispy, served with rice and beans. A satisfying dish. My husband got the fajitas with steak. Their portions are huge and the amount of meat they gave him was definitely a value with what they charged. I also, had the best horchata there. Not too sweet and perfectly balanced with just enough cinnamon. The best item I had there. The 2 items not worth getting is the shrimp tostada. Literally a boring ice berg lettuce salad with cold shrimp filled in a tortilla bowl. And their choco-flan. The cake part was dry and hardly tasted chocolate. However, the flan layer was pretty good. Maybe just order the flan. This is an old place that could definitely use a renovation. The place over all is just dirty. Everything needs an upgrade.

It was just birria in a tortilla with cheese, and the tortilla was extremely hard and oily. The consome on the side was heated up on the warming tray, which was a shame because it was supposed to be a flavorful sauce. The rice and beans were also burnt and hard, which made the meal even more disgusting. I wouldn't come back here if my life depended on it. Whoever claimed this restaurant to be authentic was clearly not an authentic Hispanic.If this is authentic, then my microwave is a Michelin-star chef My younger brother had gotten the chicken quesadilla, and the chicken was flavorless. We also ordered the fiesta sampler, but the nachos were burnt. My mother got the carnitas fajitas, and the rice was hard, the beans were burnt, and the guacamole was warmed up as if it was warmed with the warming tray. That's how all the beans and rice were on every plate. The service was just okay. One of the women who served us was very nice, but the other lady was rude and seemed like she was rushing to get away. The ambiance was alright, but it didn't make up for the terrible food. 0 stars if I could.
