I tried this place, and the food was good and the service was good. However, there are a ton of choices for Mexican food near to the corner of Anaheim and Redondo that have good food. Long Beach does not need another "SPECIALTY" Mexican food restaurant!! To only serve tacos (no chips or other varieties of food) is not a great choice!! read more

The Food is good but they open whenever the hell they feel like it. not reliable lol.

The best Mexican food in Compton in my opinion. We had lunch here a few weeks ago. I like the big Wet Burrito. Comes with whatever type of meat you want. I got the Beef Burrito. Ohmy God, so much food. think me and my girl could have eaten half the burrito lol. My first time here, and its a nice little spot. Nice people , and a good place to chill and hang out with whomever you want. Might be one of my go to spots. read more

Good delicious comfort food. Staff is always very nice and prices are very reasonable. My favorite are the wet burritos, and crispy tacos ! The horchata is also very good read more

Ordered a $300+ order for pickup, they accepted the order, and charged for it, but failed to mention that they were closed. Locks in front of the door with the lights off and can hear the phone ringing in the background. Went next door to the liquor store and they basically confirmed that you guys open whenever you want, even with maps and yelp saying youre open. Worst experience ever and will be never even considering coming to this place. read more

I got #51 Hard shell tacos with rice and beans. It taste good. The place is clean. No drive through, great for families.

Excellent food and great service. Came here out of the blue and I am glad I did. Had a carne asada wet burrito and my partner had carne asada street tacos. Both were spot on! So glad we came here. Definitely coming back when we are in the area. read more

Juanillo's Mexican Grill - HANDMADE TORTILLAS - Mexican Near Me - Compton, California

I can here on a Tuesday for the 1.25 tacos let me tell you they are bomb! The gentleman who helped me was super helpful. I had two carne asada tacos, two carnitas tacos and a side of guacamole. The tortillas are homemade, the meat? Omg! Quality meat! The asada was excellent you can tell it was not cheap meat no grizzle, the carnitas was not fatty or greasy. The guacamole was also excellent as well. They have 4 different salsa I only tried two and both were good. I heard the fried ice cream is off the chain and the menudo is excellent. FYI this place is located where the fish market was, than the wing place, I am just hoping this place will stick around. Really good food. read more

Huevos Rancheros from here really hit the spot yesterday. Everything was prepared to perfection and the green salsa was so tasty. The corn tortillas were thick, hot and homemade. I will be back to try other dishes. It's an unassuming store front in Compton, but stop in and try, the cook is good and the service is nice. They have two tables set up outside para aquí and of course you can always get your food para llevar. read more

Juanillo's Mexican Grill - a plate of mexican food - Mexican Near Me - Compton, California

Not reliable if you think it's open there hours are posted wrong or somthing is going on

This is a hidden gem in compton, seriously. I have driven and passed several times and was always skeptical about trying it out. The location was just kinda sketch, but be hold i have found thee best authentic mexican taco. The tortilla was soft, i would say handmade, the meat nice and finely chopped up, meat has very nice flavor and the salsa perfect for me not too spicy. I always drove way out to DTLA area, Downey, Bell area to get mexican food. Wont be doing that drive no more, with this spot here. read more

Juanillo's Mexican Grill - Torta de milanesa con papas fritas y una sangria - Mexican Near Me - Compton, California

I was craving Menudo on this rainy Saturday morning. I searched the Internet and this is one of the spots that came out. DO NOT TRY THIS MENUDO. IT IS HORRIBLE VERY WATERY NO MEAT. WORST I'VE EVER HAD. read more

I love love this place for authentic Mexican food. My go-to food is the shrimp nachos with asada. It's so delicious

I don't ever complain but, there's a first time for everything. I dunno if they changed ownership or just the staff. But I've given them two chances and after today I can assure that I will not be returning ever again. I used to look forward to their mulitas, but they're trash now. Like who just puts two cheap tortillas with the meat in between with cheese? Where is my guacamole and pico de gallo. The Al Pastor is garbage, it used to be so flavorful but now it's taste-less. The Al Pastor is just pork chops chopped up, their enchiladas don't even have the tortilla fried, the cheese is packaged and is so bland. And their chicken (for the enchiladas) tasted as if it was canned and seasoned rather than boiled and flavored from scratch. I literally took a bite and then trashed my so-called "food". And their salsas are awful, they used to be a little runny full of flavor, but now they're chunky and bland. Until they either teach the staff to actually cook or even run an establishment. They don't even have their aguas frescas ready, or any condiments at all. If you've ever been here when it was great, you'd know what I mean. read more

Found this spot on yelp and thought hey these reviews are great so the food has to be amazing.....NOT!!! The meat was salty and tough both asada and pastor. Also ordered quac and didn't get it. One thing I can say is the cashier was friendly read more

This place was amazing. Great chips and salsa! From my personal experience I feel you can tell a lot on the Mexi joint by the chips and salsa. And this one was on freaking point. I ordered the carne asada tacos and they were so funky fresh delicious. I sat at the bar and was waited on like a boss. My beer mug was never empty. I left full, buzzed and so happy. This place rules. read more

I found this hidden gem because my coworkers and I were looking for a good Mexican restaurant near our office in Rancho Dominguez. Since I found Juanillo's three weeks ago I've been there twice more. Everything has been great. From the homemade corn tortillas for the street tacos to the best chili relleno I've had in a long time, nothing has disappointed The salsa bar looks a little iffy but the salsas they have are homemade and delicious. The staff is courteous and patient. Juanillo's is definitely a place for great food. read more

They changed ownership, the guy who used to own it told me he was selling. I was hopeful they wouldn't change his recipe's but they did and now it's all bad! read more

Juanillo's Mexican Grill - This was Delicious I will definitely be back to get the Chimichanga thanks Juan for your smartness. - Mexican Near Me - Compton, California

Chicken Salad was BOMB and they make sure to accommodate your every request which we always get a side of hardboiled egg.. I am a very picky eater and barely eat Mexican food BUT I actually love this place. 2nd time me and my colleagues ordered I got shrimp Taco - it was delicious. However I ordered it again for another day and the shrimp was very fishy it didn't taste like the first time I have ordered, Chicken tostadas was alright- it had too much beans, nonetheless - I am a repeat customer in hopes that this establishment doesn't change the quality of food and service :) - went to get food yesterday, carne asada tostadas was BOMB!!!! hubby liked his Torta and daughter liked her carne asada tacos :) read more

We'v been living in Compton for a few yrs now and ironically have had a hard time finding a good Mexican spot. We found this place and we're soooo glad! Not only is it a clean spot, but he service and food are extremely good! I had the menudo with handmade tortillas and the owner offered to grill me chile de arbol for my menudo... amazing! My BF has the green chilaquiles and were also good. Definitely check this spot out read more

This little place has the best militias! My friends ordered the potato tacos and sopas and we were all happy with our tasty meals. Don't drive too fast or you'll miss it. read more

We visited yesterday and so happy we did! I had a shrimp burrito, that was seasoned beautifully! It was bursting with peppers, a nice fajita style flavor. There was plenty of shrimp throughout the whole thing which is really pleasant. The place is pretty small and cozy they offer a salsa bar filled with toppings, which I did get a few things but didn't even use it because my burrito wasn't missing anything. We got a side of guacamole which was nice,fresh and a good amount for $1.50. I'm looking forward to going back and trying something else the customer service was good and price on point for what you get. The parking is a little tight so be careful getting in and out but other than that it's a great new little gem in the neighborhood! read more

Every time time I come to Juanillo's I am greeted with great energy , a smile, and genuine kindness. Their food is exceptional, well seasoned, prepared with love, and is a restaurant I take a 17 mile drive for every time I crave Mexican food . Their soup, excellent. Their tacos , are beyond muy bien! And the wet burrito , have me ready to lick the plate and order another every time . Too often we're paying for food from restaurants or companies that just want us to "hurry up and buy"; and care very little about the customer experience, customer service, and the importance of building a bond with your customers that patron their restaurants and spend their hard earned money . Please come and experience juanillo's for their excellent food and vibes lol . read more

Came here primarily for the menudo. It was very satisfying with authentic taste. They give you all the necessary toppings. We took for take out but they have some tables outside. Will return again for menudo craving read more

Juanillo's Mexican Grill - Chicken tostada salad - Mexican Near Me - Compton, California

I randomly went here with my mom today, we went in the liquor store to grab a few things, and we both noticed that the Mexican restaurant next to it had the whole parking Lot smelling good. She and I went in and both ordered the #41, the street taco meal, with rice and beans. We made sure to try a few different meats choices they had, in our tacos. EVERYTHING was VERY good! We were surprised! My mom has lived next to this place in Compton for some time, & had never thought about going in until we smelled how good the fumes were permeating the air. The actual location it's self is VERY clean & you can watch them as they prepare your food fresh. The staff was very nice & helpful. Those tacos was HITTIN bro lol read more

The Caldo de res is delicious! And the crispy shredded tacos are awesome! I highly recommend them! Their beans are amazing! They take their time cause the food is freshly made! Hand made tortillas! read more

Family owned and operated, authentic home-style Mexican cuisine in a cozy-cafe like setting. My family and I were passing through in route to San Diego, from San Jose. We were pleasantly surprised to meet the family who appear to be in their total element, with sleeves rolled up and all-hands on deck. I have dietary restrictions beyond refusing to eat watered-down fusion attempts at Mexican-ish dishes. The family went out of their way to meet our needs and surpass all expectations. Needless to say, we stopped by again on our way home. read more
