Excellent quality food. Taste like made from scratch home cooking. Even the rice and tortillas were amazing. Caldo de res wasn't a cheap cut of beef. 2 chunks of short rib! Taco meat was juicy and plentiful. I'll be back for sure! read more

I found this place to be quite cozy. The service was also nice. The food, however, left me wanting. I had the chicken quesadillas. I found it to be average in flavor. It felt like something that i could assemble myself. The sauce and the sour cream were also normal. Nothing bad, but also nothing great. read more

" Food is good just pricey " Food is good just a bit pricey . I know my Hispanic food prices this is on the high end . The food is authentic although still a little white washed. It did taste fresh . Being Hispanic and knowing my Latin cuisine this place is just ok . Nothing to rave about . The vibe is welcoming. The staff is friendly and well attentive. read more

parking is street. dining area is 3 tables and a high bar that seats 3-4. just go here, it's like someone's mom is cooking for you and she's not willing to compromise on quality to feed her kids or their friends. i stopped in for takeout lunch. ordered one of each of the different types of pupusas. holy cow they are fresh. like i said, it's as if i went over to a friend's place and their mom just made them fresh. got a sopes, the shell is crunchy, the toppings are well balanced. quesadilla was simple, but tasty. it's the freshness of all the ingredients burrito was the best i've had in a while, probably the best i've had in waltham... yes, this includes the popular taquerias in town. the rice was flavorful, moist, fresh. the meat was tender as they come. again, it's simple, but the fresh ingredients take it to the next level. i'll be back. read more

An authentic restaurant that is clearly well liked by the local community. About 12 seats inside, counter service and a welcoming vibe. Clean, cute and fantastic burrito and pupusas. We definitely over ate! Everything was so good. The homemade salsa was amazing. Place had a constant flow of people. Never an open table or seat for very long. Street parking and it was pretty tough to get a space but worth the effort. read more

Juanitas Kitchen - Papusa - Desserts Near Me - Waltham, Massachusetts

Delicious, visually appealing, small taqueria in Waltham. This taqueria reminds me of favorite taquerias back in California. We ordered two burritos, beef and chicken. The flavors were excellent. The beef was slightly overcooked and was a bit tough, but flavored very well. The chicken was perfect. We're giving the benefit of the doubt that it was an off day. 4.5 stars for that (which can't be given, so it rounds to 5 stars). Service was friendly and fast. I'll definitely be back. read more

I drove 45min, waited 25min for a table and it was completely worth it. I never tasted such good pupusas. We tried sopes for the first time and it was our favorite dish. This is a small business and family owned so space is limited but very cozy. The service is very attentive and warm. I would love for them to sell their green sauce. They mentioned they make everything themselves, including the cheese. Wishing them the best! read more

Amazing food, lovely staff and warm ambiance. We ordered tacos, quesadillas and sopes. Everything was delicious and very fresh! Loved the homemade hot sauces to accompany the dishes. Definitely coming back! read more

Very flavorful quesadillas and tacos! Excellent service and colorful interior. We have to go back and try the sopas, they look amazing!

The most incredible restaurant. The owner is so nice. Her artwork makes it feel happy and warm in the place. The food is to die for. Nothing comes close. Ask for the habanero salsa which they sometimes have. The chimichurri sauce is insane. The sopes and papusas are so flavorful. Everything is delicious. read more

The food here is incredible--everything from the pupusas and sopes to the burritos tastes fresh and genuinely home-cooked. Beyond the food, the service is top-notch. Erica is a wonderful owner host who makes you feel right at home. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent food, great prices, good service. It's a small place so keep in mind if you have a bigger party.

We're new to the area and randomly decided to try it out. We walked to get our food so I can't speak to the indoor dining but it looked cozy and homey. We just had the burritos, one chicken and one beef and both were so good; moist and full of meat, flavorful rice and the beans were delicious. We were hoping to try the lingua tacos (beef tongue) but they weren't ready by lunch time. I've only heard great things about them so we'll definitely be back to try them in future! read more

Will be honest, we didn't have a great experience here. The meat just felt very off, might have just been a bad day but was very unsure what was going on. In any case did like the workers a lot and do want to be supportive of their venture so leaving it 4 stars for now bc it was probably an off day and hope to try it again soon read more

Good Mexican food (reminds us of when we lived in Arizona) and warm and welcoming service!

Both the sopes and the pupusas are excellent. Not much seating inside, but the design of the interior is very charming. The service is high-quality as well. read more

Excellent food and service. Not the usual Mexican food and flavors. Low-key atmosphere and extraordinary food.

We've been here a few times now for lunch and gotten most of the options on the menu. Everything has been outstanding - freshly made and with lots of care. The soups are perfect for winter weather, full of vegetables, meat and hearty broth. The pupusas are some of the best I've had. The service is great and everyone who works there is so kind and accommodating, willing to put things on the side for kids, etc. Total hidden gem in Waltham. read more

Delicious pupusas and sauces. Soft and flavorful filling. Everything tasted freshly made and with care. We ordered burritos, cheese pupusa, and spinach pupusa. Flor de Jamaica drink was a nice refreshing touch. read more

Hands down the best burritos we have had. Both the chicken and the steak were cooked perfectly, flavor was amazing, moist and wrapped in the best tortilla. We would highly recommend this cute place. The workers were very kind also and everything was fresh! read more

What a lovely new addition to the Waltham restaurant scene. Ate there with a buddy. I had the Chimichurri plate which was amazing with a large carne asada AND beef riblets marinated and cooked to perfection. It came with Spanish rice, refried beans an home-made tortillas. The Chimichurri sauce was addictive. My buddy had a beef pupusa and two beef tacos along with a side of rice and beans. Both meals were absolutely delicious. Can't wait to go back with my family to try the rest of the menu. Particularly the Sopa de Pato (pigs foot soup.) They are on a quiet side street, so I hope they can manage to generate enough traffic. read more

We are on holiday in the area and were lucky enough to come across Jaunts. The food was so fresh, healthy and really tasty. Super quality. We are vegetarian and there were lots of options. And the owner was charming. read more

Delicious! So hard to find homemade tortillas in New England. Stumbled upon this lil gem while driving by. Stopped in & met the most beautiful women. The owner stopped what she was doing & made me some tortillas on the spot for my tacos! They make everything fresh in front of you! They also honored my allergies which is always a plus! Came back the following day for a signature treat- Belizean Rice read more
