Junior's is our go to when we want something quick, affordable, and reliable. You have to know what to expect when you go to a local taco shop. This isn't a large chain with waitstaff service dropping chips & salsa on your table while you peruse the menu combos. Junior's is a counter service casual "taco chop" that does the trick for getting good rolled tacos with everything, a satisfying carne asada burrito, and a creamy from the fountain horchata. Help yourself to the usual selection of salsas, limes, radish, pickled carrots. On those weeknights when I don't feel like cooking, Junior's fills out my apron. Plus the staff is happy, friendly, and courteous. Saludos to the ladies Isela and Lilly! We go there so often with our tummies quite hungry that I forget to take pictures. I will add some next time! read more

We ordered for our annual company Christmas Party. Everything was a hit. We ordered carne asada, grilled chicken and carnitas. All freshly made. We also ordered rice and beans, tortillas, salsa and it came with all the condiment to make tacos. Lots of salsa!!! The entire order was ready and on time for my pick up, it was hot and ready to eat. The owner Marco is the best! His manager, Carlos loaded everything into my car. The cost was less that what I originally budgeted for, for the crowd I had. I will be reaching out to Marco and his crew for another order in the future. My guys and their families left very full Thank you all, M. Parker, Parker Remodeling & Construcion read more

Just a very meh taco shop ain't nothing bad about it ain't nothing good about it it. Actually the hot sauce taste super funky I think it messed me up pretty bad. Idk kinda expensive too. Wouldn't go again most likely read more

I love coming here for chicken rolled tacos. They're pretty decent for a great price. I wish they came with sour cream, but I usually just pay to add it on. One thing I don't recommend though is the California burrito, it's pretty much just dry meat, potatoes, and pico. The burrito is super dry overall, and missing everything that makes a California burrito (no Guac or fries). The service however is always great, everyone is very friendly. read more

Junior's Taco Shop - 3 Roll Tacos (Beef or Chicken) - Mexican Near Me - Vista, California

Still my favorite Mexican place in Vista. Reliable quality ingredients, awesome spices, good, fast enough and easy. The server is super friendly and kind. You can eat inside, but there's definitely no problem to take it to go or eat outside. read more

Our favorite convenient taco shop. I love the fresh ceviche and almost always select that. My husband generally orders taco adobada (yummy) or fish. I seem to always pick ceviche but plan to sample some of the other offerings. The prices are good and the servings are ample. They have a salsa bar where you can select your own sauces. The folks are always fast and friendly. This is in a little mall and there isn't any particular ambiance, but if you want some good food, quickly prepared for a reasonable price, this is your place! read more

Great food! Wonderful staff! A favorite place for Mexican food. Love the tacos xxxxxxxxxxxxccxxxx

I bought two California burritos both without pico and I was really looking forward to eating this with my best friend, but there's no sour cream. We were thinking it would just be in the middle, but alas no sour cream was added. read more

Still don't understand why people think this place is bad , but as a Mexican who likes their Mexican food this place is good, I just came not to long ago . It's simple food , not over the top and staff is always nice . read more

Stoked that i. and across this taco shop a couple years ago. I usually just get the Machaca burrito, which is awesome and priced well. Everything is priced well, will for sure be back. read more

This place is just so-so? I have gone here a few times hoping it could get better...but, it just...doesn't. The food is ok but I have really had better at so many other taco shops. I hate to say it but just walking up to the door, there is always a ton of trash overflowing outside in the trash can, always all over the ground. It doesn't leave a very good impression. Inside is small but there are tables to sit at. I had once bought a deal for purchasing food on an online app and when I went in to show them, the woman at the counter didn't even know how to process the coupon deal I bought and wouldn't honor it. It was a waste all around. I haven't gone back and doubt I will. read more

Well we have been coming here for many years but the last few times we have been greatly disappointed. Portions have become much smaller and the quality lacking. Their huevos ranchero had no flavor, only one egg, the corn tortillas were nuked until hard as a rock. Just about 2 tbs of tasteless rice and beans! Chile relleno burrito half eaten before biting into a stuffed small chile. Going to have to find another place to order Mexican food. read more

Amazing "Breakfast Burrito Special"-I add beans. Big portions and they don't skimp on the ham and bacon.

Really enjoyed my Carne Asada burrito from here. Wished i could have stopped by weeks ago. Nice big menu. Will definitely come here again.

The food for three was 47.00 but after the fee for a card it was $48.30 and the hot sauces were half full so we asked for two more. I asked for a small bag of hot carrots it had 4. The carrots and the 2 hot sauces were $1.89 so now were over $50. Small brown bag of chips $3.50. Beef taco hard and chewy at the same time. The worst thing is the Chile Verde had French fries in it?WTH what a let down. read more

Junior's Taco Shop - Chile verde with French fries mixed in? - Mexican Near Me - Vista, California

Great place to dine in, food is good and decent prices. Definitely recommend! Good atmosphere and the workers are nice

Food was horrible, no flavor zero seasoning or spices on carnitas or carne asada tacos. Showed up at 3 pm taco Tuesday tacos were not ready ? So had to buy menu tacos. Asked if the tacos had been seasoned they said no it's just meat and tomato and onion. Tomatoes and onions were minimal guacamole was diluted and runny. Would not recommend this place to anyone. I would have preferred to go home and eat a tuna sandwich I feel I paid 30$ for below average tacos. Cooks didn't care about lack of flavor in tacos. Will not be back and will recommend that people do not eat here. Front counter gal was nice but admitted the food was bland compared to other taco bars. Would give 0 stars if I could. Not once did they ask how they could make this right or more favorable they just let me eat the meat and tortillas. Gave this place a shot despite seeing 2 star reviews. I know under stand why it was poorly rated. read more

Great prices! The staff were so kind and attentive. The rice and beans were really good and they had the largest tortillas I've ever seen.

They have really good prices. Their food is very delicious. Great customer service especially the employee Lily. Wonderful customer service. read more

Very good food the best of the best customer service food is out fast and a very good spot to try if your in the area very recommended

My kids all moved out of state but they can never come back home for a visit without including Juniors! Good food, good memories . They ALWAYS all order their carne asada fries! A must for them! read more

Quick, tasty, no surprises. The California burrito was good and salsa was flavorful.

Great carne asada burritos. My husband has the head tacos and loved them. It was great to call in and pick up our order. My daughter loves the kid's quesadillas and French fries. Great spot for authentic Mexican food. Also parking is great. I was able to pull right up to the door read more

The cashier was really friendly, helpful, and efficient. My order was ready surprisingly quickly and the cashier made sure that I picked up some salsa from the salsa bar (admittingly, the salsa bar could have used some cleaning). I had the Carne Asada Burrito Plate. The Carne Asada was flavorful and had good texture. The beans were a little runny. Prices were decent. Overall, 4.5 out of 5 stars. read more

This place hit everything on the head for me. Great service and good prices to start. I had the bean and beef burrito w/out rice. The meat was very good, stewed with peppers, and the beans were on point. The tortilla was soft and chewy, and they gave me a good selection of salsas to boot. read more

We get burritos from here almost weekly. My 2 & 5 year old love the chorizo burrito and the Cali burrito is delicious! Definitely recommend.

This taco shop is good. But 3 stars is what it is. Usually some small issue arises. I would recommend if as it is the only one in the area. Quick Mexican food, worth the money, but not worthy of a taco Tuesday to be quite honest. read more

Best Mexican good in north county. Great and quick service. Quality always on point. Thank you

great customer service excellent food i recommend this place and food is out fast make you feel like home if your near by wanna grave a bit you should try this out!! read more

Burrito was ice cold, cheese wasn't even melted. Gross. Also salsa bar was sad , dirty and unfilled

This used to be one of the better taco shops in Vista- but now I can easily say, it's not good at all. Guacamole was soupy in texture- cheese was not at all melted in cheese enchiladas and carne asada was tasteless. Waste of money. 100% do not recommend. read more

Great Mexican food! Come check this place out Very friendly and fast service delicious hot carrots read more

Good food for cheap prices. Good Cali burrito. Steer clear around 3:30pm M-F when the high school lets out because you will wait forever for your food. There are better taco shop options in Vista but this one rates highly for value vs. quality and quantity. They charge a credit/debit card convenience fee. read more

The food is pretty good. This is usually my go to spot because I live locally. But... I called today and apparently they are restricting salsa to two salsas per burrito. These are small little cups. Usually I get 4 to 6 cups per burrito. But again they're small cups... or... Maybe I have a salsa addiction problem. I canceled the order and I'll figure something out else for dinner. read more

I had the Carne Asada Burrito. It was kind of flavorless, the meat had nothing to it. I was so excited for my burrito but was left with a flavorless mess. It was not good at all. I would think the carne asada would be an easy burrito to make good here but the meat was like stewish like with zero flavor. The beans were also semi-flavorless. Maybe I came on a bad day? I did come at 2:30 so maybe they had it from the lunch crowd and said screw it with my burrito? Not sure. But I can say I am not interested in coming back, no matter what all you all say in your reviews here. I can tell you the burrito was no good. Bummer because it's close to my house. I have eaten here 1 time before, had enchiladas, they are not good at all either so I can really chalk this place up as terrible Mexican food with no flavor whatsoever! read more

This place is tops in tacos! Double tortillas (a needed plus +) hold in some of the best adobada, asada, carnitas y más you'll find anywhere in North County. Burritos are fat; tasty beans & rice, and the spicy carrots are on point! I'm lucky & thankful they are also my neighborhood taco shop. It's our dinner spot several times a month. read more

The breakfast burrito is solid and filling and inexpensive, service is pretty good and the food is ready quickly

Disclosure: I think that tacos are in their own culinary category...I love tacos! I went there for lunch today and it was busy; the customers there could have started a fan club! I had the carne asada Taco combination plate. The tacos were absolutely delicious augmented with salsas from the salsa bar! The tacos come with creamy guacamole! The rice tasted fresh and the refried beans were smooth and tasty! I don't live near this restaurant but I will stop by when I'm in the neighborhood! read more
