This place is great! I had seen it for years and never went in. It's a big purple building. It wasn't until I checked ChatGPT for the best tacos in Tucson and this came up as one of them so I thought oh yeah I seen that place. I'll try it. Really good one of my favorites. I can't wait to get back and do more Juanito's.!! read more

Touring Tucson, looking for the best Carne Asada in town. Decided to try here after El Rustico. I was recommended this place by a person on Facebook. They made it sound like a hidden gem. Let's first go over what makes great Carne Asada. 1. Flavorful 2. Juicy 3. Good cut(minimal to no grisle, bone, not flat/thin cut and not diced into kibble) 4. Tender Juanito's had some flavor, but it was VERY dry and tough and had far too much grisle. I just didn't like it at all. I had to force my way through it it was so dry, I dislike dry meat. I want to try a different meat, maybe it'll gain a star there, but for the Carne Asada? Hard pass. The service wasn't great either. read more

Counter service Mexican joint. Good food. I had the menudo and it was pretty good. The place is modest Mexican that has counter service. read more

Bomb ass mexican food, highly recommended!! Their horchata and jamaica are mediocre but still decent. The food is definitely the main highlight of this place. I typically get the carne asada taco plate and it's always so good!! Prices here are very reasonable too, not too expensive at all especially compared to other places. read more

First, let me say, unless you're online you can't check in. However, this is a great go to. Small but consistent and the food is so reasonably priced you can't go wrong. It's sometimes a little noisier than others, but definitely worth sitting on the metal chairs and enjoying the reasonable meal. Today they even had tamales on sale for $14 a half a dozen. I love the ceviche and the fact that they will put the seafood in a container in the corn tortillas on the side. I like that because then my tortillas stay crunchy. Definitely not the last time. I'm stopping in here for a yummy bite and a visit with a good friend. read more

I officially was able to try Juanito's for the first time and it lived up to the hype! In today's world, the prices are so affordable for a huge amount of food. I tried the Carne Asada tacos, which came with a side of rice and beans, and the flavors for everything were absolutely phenomenal. It was filling and so worth the price! Service was quick as well as my group only waited a few minutes before our orders came out. There is a ton of seating but I will say that the attached parking lot can fill up so I'd definitely recommend going before or after the lunch rush. This is a great option and is definitely going to be one of my go-to stops for a quick, delicious meal that doesn't break the bank. read more

The meat tasted old and freezer burnt.! Every single taco meat tasted like if had been just been unfrozen and watery. They use old products that is why the tacos are so inexpensive. Not worth getting sick. Will never eat there again. read more

I think coming here was the right choice when a few minutes before lunch rolled by; the whole line got packed. The pricing is super affordable here and the quality is just superior. I can tell why people come here. I'm super glad to have tried this and hope to try more whenever I'm back ! read more

Genuine heaven. I will be returning (I'm from California). Didn't even get any pics of my food because I devoured it. 100000/10

Given the reviews, my expectations might have been too high walking in. I got a carne burrito and al pastor tacos. The salsa was good and the marinade on the pork was tasty, but the meat itself in both the al pastor and carne was very fatty, to the point I could not chew the carne. Those with me enjoyed their food, and for the price I can see it being a good quick option. read more

I was so excited to visit Taqueria Juanito's restaurant today! I was tipped off by a local rideshare driver that this people building near Grant Ave has the best cabeza tacos in Arizona! I was raised in a very conservative food pallet home like many Americans so trying new items like cabeza tacos is a very foreign choice in cuisine. Let me just say I am on a new adventure of respecting restaurants that honor the entire animal by properly knowing how to prepare each and every inch into a world class experience. These cabeza tacos did not disappoint! It was extremely buttery and melted in your mouth! If you do one thing this year, you owe it to yourself to put this place on your 3rd spot routine. The ambiance is so beautiful in this space too! There are beautiful murals inspired by Mexican culture with luchadores wrestling and oversized monarch butterflies, this place is truly a different dimension! read more

We always forget about this place, even though we drive by it all the time, it's on the way home. We had a craving for a quick take out burrito today, and stopped by. I got a mixed burrito with carne asada and rice. It really hit the spot! There was so much meat in it!! It was came with red and green salsa, limes, and chilis, and all wrapped in a delicious tortilla! We got in and out quickly, and service was good! We need to think about this purple-painted treasure more often! read more

Had some time to waste and decided to try this place since it had such great reviews. We ordered the taco plate with carne asada. The plate came with rice and beans. We also decided to try the tamarindo drink. No disappointment here. The service was excellent. Our order came out quickly. The tortillas and meat were absolutely delicious! They serve both breakfast and lunch and have vegetarian options. Next time I think I'll try some caldo. It's the perfect season for caldo. The interior is painted with beautiful bright flowers and bold colors. read more

The food is terrific especially their cabeza. This is one of the few establishments to remove the substantial fat from the cheek meat after cooking. Prices are quite reasonable, although the taco sizes are relatively small too. Their Taco Plate includes 2 tacos (your choice of meat) plus rice/beans for $7. Ala carte tacos are $2.75 each and come with onions and cilantro on small (5 in) corn tortillas. There are about 25 tables - half are 2-seaters and the rest are 4-tops. You order at the counter and you bus your own table so keep that in mind when the "tablet spin" takes place. Bonus: no credit card fee! The only gripe about this place is that word's gotten out, Lol. 11:30am on a Thursday there was a line of 8-9 people already. It took about 12 min to reach the cashier and about 18 min before my number was called to pickup my entree. If you sit far away (the back section) you'll likely Not hear them announce. Just Fyi. Traditional glass bottled sodas are available. Parking can be tight despite there being about 15 spots in their personal lot. There's just a single bathroom but also a separate handwashing station (which was all out of soap). Would I return? Heck yes... the al pastor (marinated pork) taco was good but the cabeza was sensational. Looking fwd to trying there other meats. read more

Love Juanito's. I remember the cool murals on the wall prior to the remodel . Personally I think the best carnitas tacos in town are here . The menu is simple and the prices are great . You can still have a great lunch for a bit over ten bucks. read more

Our last meal in Tucson before we head to our next stop in our road trip, saw locals say this is a great place so we decided to give it a try! We got two all meat burrito, one with steak one with cabeza, also got a cabeza taco and a cheese quesadilla on the side! Wow what can I say, it's so freaking delicious, the steak burrito is to die for there is just so much meat packed in there, everything was juicy and delicious. I am so sad that I will leave this city soon and I won't be able to eat here again anytime soon. The staff are also very very friendly, the place is super spacious and clean. read more

Delicious food. And excellent customer service. This is a must stop, restaurant is super clean.

Amazing carne asada- not the friendliest staff though... I always feel like I'm putting them out of their way being there. read more

Purple exterior! Counter service - order in English or Spanish - your choice - very easy. In addition to several yummy shredded beef quesadillas, our party got a half dozen red tamales for $14. They were delicious! It was noisy though, and a bit difficult to input the code for the restroom. Overall, though, very good! Thinking we'll have to make the trek to get more tamales for Mother's Day! read more

I've been here so many times for the beef cheek burrito. The new renovation is nice. The food comes out quick and is just as good as it always is. But it's so loud. I couldn't hear the person across from me through all the noise, it's an echo chamber. So please put some sound deadening material or something soft on the walls to bring down the noise. read more

Brought the family to Juanito's for breakfast on Sunday. I was very tempted by the menudo, but we ended up ordering three breakfast burritos (carne asada, el pastor and beef cheek) as well as a chicken plate. The food was delicious, as usual. All the meats were well seasoned and we all left very satisfied. One of my favorite breakfast burrito spots. Their red and green salsas are so tasty and adding bits of pickled jalapeno brought the burrito to a whole new level!!! read more

In addition to fast, friendly service, and fresh ingredients, in a bright, clean dining area, this was the best al pastor taco I've ever had. Perfect amount of crispy edges on the pork, fantastic. Burritos are also excellent - the flour tortillas are the good ones, the kind you'd want from an authentic Mexican place. Sorry there's no photo, it's just an empty plate now. read more

Old school Tucson Sonoran-style Mexican. Order at counter. Tacos on corn tortillas only and filling while street taco size. Burritos big but not super large like so many places. Both very fairly priced. Many people eating big bowls of red menudo. Food quality = excellent. I have had carnitas and al pastor. read more

The red and green salsas on the side that it comes with were sooo good. Great value as well for absolutely delicious food. The burrito was only around $8 and well worth it.

Fantastic tacos! i ordered 2 cabeza and 2 carne asada tacos and was blown away with the flavors and generous toppings. The rice and beans were a great pairing to the tacos. Will visit again when in Tucson read more

The food is great but the music is super loud where you can't even have a conversation with the person you go with

TBH I chose this place because they had fountain drinks. I don't like the bottled coke. And guess what? The food was amazing and very reasonably priced. I got the barbacoa and it was the bomb! I only paid like $12 for four tacos and rice+beans. Way better than Chipotles barbacoa. read more
