    Seafood chimichanga
    Noah M.

    We were really excited to come here considering it is highly rated on yelp for Mexican food in our area. The ambiance was really nice with cool lights, amazing bar, and seemed like a good local spot. We ordered house margarita, which tasted like syrup, and a tequila pineapple that had a hickory smoke taste to it. The service was very attentive yet not personable. We ordered the seafood chimichanga which was filled with a ton carrot bites (which was not mentioned on the menu) and the seafood tasted like a frozen bag of mixed seafood mush. Like a Sheppard pie burrito. My wife ordered the Hawaiian tacos which looked much better than mine but she said was bland and just okay. Best part was their homemade salsa which was great. Overall not impressed at all. Maybe we ordered the wrong items but who knows we might try again a different time.

    This place is a solid 4 star restaurant. The food was good. The prices are reasonable. The portions are gracious. The interior looks clean. The dining area was tidy. They have a 98.0 sanitation grade posted. The decor needs to be updated. Everything looks a little tired and worn. The bar area is cool. The service was satisfactory. Chips and salsa were delivered to our table promptly. Our server delivered our drinks and meal to our table in a reasonable time. Our orders were correct. He kept our drinks filled. He also was kind to me when I wanted queso sauce on my enchiladas instead of red sauce and I wanted a pork enchilada instead of a beef one. He made it happen!

    Not your best bet for the area. Atmosphere is nice, salsa is mediocre and food is not very authentic.

    Food is delicious and lunch deals are amazing! I especially like the chimichangas and the staff are very friendly.

    We ordered the birria tacos, fish tacos, shrimp burrito, loco bowl and the carnitas tacos. The food…read morewas absolutely great and the lady up front made sure to take the tomatoes out of our meal after we explained we were allergic to them. The staff was super and very polite. The restaurant is extremely nice and great area to grab a taco and drink for sure. Worth it.

    Ever since I moved nearby, Juan Loco has always been in a weird category for me. Their food is…read moregood, I love Mexican and Tex-Mex, but their menu doesn't really pull me in. I'm really not a fan of the 5 mini tacos they offer, not because they taste bad, but more because I don't want to deal with 5 little tacos And they only sell their larger tacos in packs of 3, which is fine, but I'd actually order from here all the time if I could just order single tacos and build a custom order the way I want it (similar to Osito's or Tacos 4 Life). And their cheese dip isn't "pure" cheese dip, it has something else mixed in like a chipotle ranch or something, I really don't know, but it's not really what I'm looking for. To me the biggest issue I have is just not being able to customize my order the way I want it because the way they've designed their menu makes me not want to order anything because I don't want to commit to it. I like the a la carte style. So anyway I decided today would be my once-a-year order from Juan Loco just to see if I'm making a mistake by not ordering here more often since it's literally right down the street from me. The food was good. The menu was still a point of frustration. So it's getting 3 stars from me mainly because I'm just not compelled to order from here. I want to. I keep trying. The food is good. But it never draws me back.

The young lady, Tiana was bubbly with the best personality from start to finish. Actually, the entire bar staff were amazing. Even a female manager, came by to make sure Everyone was good. The ambiance is one of a higher end type of Mexican food. Absolutely w great experience. I would definitely look for the staff that serviced me this experience

All of doors were open to outside and it was cold with a draft, I'm not sure why they left the doors open tonight but I had asked her to sit far away from the doors and then she ended opening up another one of the doors so they were all open. She didn't smile once and looked visibly annoyed from the moment I walked in. The food was also not great tonight. The restaurant was pretty dead and the tacos came out cold. The pork belly needed to be heated up more. The tuna taco was terrible tonight with a fishy taste (much different than my last experience) and had a shiny film on it. I took one bite and thought it tasted bad so didn't eat the rest, I'm surprised my server didn't ask me what was wrong with it.
