Pleasantly surprised with this place! I got a steak torta and it was everything I wanted. The rice and beans are nice, the steak was well seasoned, and it had all the right toppings - lettuce, tomato, cheese, beans, avocado, etc. Cool murals/graffiti on the walls and pleasant staff. So far the best Mexican I've had in Milford - I will be back! read more

Love this place!!! Ground beef tacos yummy and their hot sauce so so good. We eat here at least once a week

Today I tried Juanita's Mexican Restaurant. I walked in to receive a friendly greeting and guys - the owners were lonely! :(. No one was in there! I remembered Taco Time when everything turned around for them when they put out a post - 'Guys - we're lonely in here! We want you to enjoy all the delicious food we've made!' And people rallied around that small business til just this year they got best in southern NH! Let's do this again for Juanita's! The food was absolutely amazing! The place was very clean! She wore fresh gloves to make our food! (And we're so picky and sensitive to anything but the freshest food!) I got the steak burrito for my son and beef tacos for me - with the best homemade rice and beans! Three beautiful young ladies walked in while I was there - I asked them, 'Do you like this place?' One of them said 'I LOVE this place! So authentic and fresh!' I encouraged them to put out reviews as well! Please let's support this husband and wife small business and start eating the best Mexican food with great portions that I've had in a very long time! read more

I LOVE this place! Very modest folks, sparkling interior, and the FOOD is sensational. I particularly like the al pastor tacos plate - 2 delicious corn tortilla tacos filled with flavorful pork, housemade hot sauce, fresh guacamole, rice and beans - $12.99! The owner served me himself - 5 mins from entering to eating! They serve beer, but I had a Jarritos grapefruit soda. 5 stars! read more

We lived in Tucson and Dallas for 40 'years. This place reminds me of Tucson's Sonoran fare more than Dallas' TexMex, especially the selection of burritos. The place is small - four 4 tops and one 2 top, and it is run by a couple. The margaritas are delicately balanced between sweet and sour (most places tend to overemphasize sweetness). Prices are reasonable and portions are decent. The salsa was not spicy and well seasoned. The red sauce has an initial bite fades to a fresh tomatoes well done. The green chile sauce is fresh and delicately sour. It seems as though everything is made from scratch with fresh ingredients. The tortilla bowls were large and flavorful. My steak chimichanga was tasty and neither greasy nor oily (they should charge more for steak). This is a unique and very local place that needs to be supported - we will be back. read more

I am writing this review with a little trepidation... I am afraid that people will find out how wonderful this restaurant is and it'll make it difficult to get into. But, it is soooo good, I need to let people know. It is the best food, service and drinks of any Mexican restaurant in the area. I received a gift certificate after winning a raffle, and I took my wife and another couple there for dinner. We were all blown away! Here's a list of items we had: Sopes (app), tacos, quesadillas, steak fajitas, enchiladas, and Margaritas (Classic and Strawberry). Everything was top shelf. It was served quickly- hot and delicious. An absolutely wonderful experience! During our time there, I observed two other tables all saying the same thing. And judging from the number of times the phone rang (don't worry- wasn't annoying), they were doing a great take-out business as well! You have to try it! read more

This place moved to Milford and I always wanted to stop in when it was in brookline but didn't, finally stopped in. I got a steak Burrito and I was not impressed, I cut my first piece and I'm like where is the steak, I then opened it right up and was very disappointed, there was about a tablespoon of steak cut up in very very tiny pieces. I didn't eat it. I will definitely not be back. read more

This small place is way out of the way and seems family-run. Cute touches like sombreros and paintings of cowboys and bulls. It's the real thing. Sure they have all the Tex-Mex standards: tacos, burritos, enchiladas, etc. But the magic is in the details: Rather than the usual fillings uninspiringly called "beef", "chicken", or "pork" they have "Pork Al Pastore", "Chorizo", "Carne Molida", "Pollo Adobado", and the like. In our tacos we each had one of the Al Pastore and one of the Chorizo and they were memorable with their bright spicy flavors. The chorizo was especially good and was distinctively seasoned unlike any other chorizo I've tried. We both had the same entrees: a combination plate with the 2 tacos already mentioned and two tamales. I had hard-shell tacos and the wife had soft. Interestingly, only the hard tacos came with cheese (Cojita) and lettuce. Was this possibly a mistake? Maybe. The tamales were large, wrapped in corn husks, and with a good amount of filling: shredded chicken. The masa dough was not too heavy; that can be a problem sometimes. It's nice to have tamales offered as a regular item. Often times they are only available as an occasional special or as an (overpriced) appetizer. The beans and rice sides were also good. Especially the refried beans. Too often they are unattractive and watery and way too much of them so they dominate the plate. Not here. Just the right portions of both. The tortilla chips were just ok. (Chips and salsa provided free of charge.) The salsa though was very good: smokey, limey, lots of cilantro. Maybe a bit thin though. I asked for hot sauce to kick up the heat a bit. They brought over two: one red ("very hot") and one green. They were in unlabeled bottles but I don't know if they were made in house or not. They were good but even the "very hot" one was not really that hot to me. We also ordered guacamole, partially to make up for the lack of cheese on the wife's tacos. Excellent. We weren't expecting such a large portion though, served in a cast-iron "pig" complete with feet and and a painted-on face. Very cute, but I don't know how they keep it clean and sanitary. Speaking of "clean", the wife thought the place seemed a little dirty. Just a bit though: minor things like dingy wood moulding and a menu that was a little sticky. Nothing too bad, and nothing that made us concerned. (I probably wouldn't even have noticed, myself.) The margaritas were excellent: Obviously made with fresh lime juice and not at all sweet. Not a mix. Plenty of tequila; I don't know what kind. Mine was rimmed with jalapeno-laced salt, a nice heat to it, and had a peculiar green color. All natural? Probably not but maybe from the jalapeno? I'd definitely go back. There are plenty of other things I'd try there. (But probably not the tripe - I'm not that adventurous!) It's too bad they're not open for supper: only breakfast and lunch. read more

I visited based on the Yelp reviews. I don't like leaving bad reviews, specially on non-chain restaurants and during COVID times . But I honestly feel like it's a social obligation. Not quality food, lacking flavor and everything was cold and pre-made. It was just jazzed up when ordered. The quesadillas were definitely microwaved. It was an overall odd experience. read more

I have eaten at a lot of Mexican restaurants, both authentic and some more geared to the American palate. This is hands down my favorite!! It's a hidden gem and a must! It's not a big location or fancy, but the service was wonderful and our experience was pleasant! We enjoyed the following... Cheese Nachos which were stacked high with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, avocados, and crema, Puffy Adobo Chicken Tacos were also stacked high and amazingly flavorful, Chicken Empanada who's filling included black olives, the Chicken Tamales were so moist and packed with flavorful chicken and lastly the Tostadas, they begin with a crunchy corn tortilla, then refried beans, adobo chicken, lettuce, tomatoes and finally a healthy swizzle of Crema. Most of the items were also topped with the traditional onion, cilantro and cojita cheese garnish. Yum!! read more

We've recently moved from California to Brookline and what a nice surprise to have such a delicious Mexican restaurant in town. The beans, rice and salsas taste homemade and the beef, pork and chicken burritos are yummy. And the prices are very reasonable. A minus for the dining in situation. It would be nice if they could make eating in and enjoying cocktails a bit more inviting with better decor and seating. read more

Great food. Love the empanadas but everything is good and it is authentic Mexican flavor.

Always amazed this place doesnt have a line out the door. Great prices and people. Food always delicious.

Now that Juanitas has expanded their menu there are even more delicious items to try. The Empanadas are delicious. Always great food. Great friendly service. Bring some friends and have a great time. read more

Stopped in again today to pickup lunch. This time i tried the marinated chicken burrito, freshly made (in front of me) guacamole and got 4 churros (treats for the kids when they get home from school). All food was as fresh as it could be. Flavorful and tasty. And they've added a debit card/credit card machine! YAY! read more

The food just isn't good. I'd like to see a local business become successful but I also have to be honest. Tried here a few times and while the portions are decent, the quality of the food is subpar. Last time I got food for my family nobody wanted to finish their meal and just threw it all out. My previous time visiting there will be my last. read more

Small and cute. My taco salad was good. The others also liked their meal. Said it's just right size. Just thought it was a little different to pay towards the end of the restaurant. read more

Authentic Mexican food, tasty horchata, and a convenient location on 13. Honestly some of the best burritos.... Americanized enough to be huge, without losing the great flavor of the meat choices. The tacos are good, too. Nicely soft and delicious! I love that they place an avocado pit in the take away guacamole to keep it from browning. It's also delish (guac, not pit). read more

If you have never been to Juanitas you need to give it a try! Delicious and authentic Mexican cuisine for extremely reasonable prices!

This isn't Chilis. You want Chilis, go to Chilis. This is our hole in the wall, family style Mexican place with its amazing puffy tacos, its friendly family who knows us and knows what we order, always has extra horchata for my son and the food is consistently fresh, quick and delicious. Fine dining is elsewhere. Come in, sit down, grab a beer or get some take out, either way relax, chill, hang out, talk to the owner or your neighbor. Unfussy and real. I like to get a big pile of the steak tacos and top them off with jalapeño guacamole (you have to ask for it, this is a family restaurant not Chilis, remember), which is incredible. There's also a reason everyone's talking about those puffy tacos. Yum. For being family style, a lot of the flavors are subtle. I disagree with criticisms of "bland;" if you want spicy put some spicy stuff on it. I like that it's not drowned in too much cheese, too much inauthentic BS, I like being able to taste the quality of the meat, the way it's cooked, the tang of the salsa but also the jalapeño in my avocado. The crema is perfect. It's these small, reliable details that keep us coming back. Grab a bunch of tamales, take them home, eat them for days. Ask for a mole tamale. OMG. Nuff said. Great place, great people, authentic and fun. read more

Delicious food, not overly spiced, the ingredients speak for themselves, simple and filling, perfect for the Mexican food fix we were craving. I had the two tacos meal and my husband had the burrito. He said, "yummy". Portions were good and the price was very reasonable. read more

This place has potential to be Great! But as of now there are a few things I did not like. For example. I order and Horchata and the ice was dirty and it had a dead mosquito on it. Me and my partner got the wrong order as well, We were so hungry we just ate it anyways. The food wasnt bad but it wasnt the best either. The place itself its poorly taken care of and its showing in their food. read more

Amazing authentic Mexican food! I love Mexican food very much and I'm very particular about good authentic food and this place is top notch. Highly recommend the guacamole and steak tacos. Definitely must check this place out! read more

For a new customer, it was a "little" different. Chips and salsa immediately. Real salsa. Be patient at the start. You will be served, maybe food before drinks. It will not be too long a wait. Just not usual. You will be enjoy all. Great burrito, margarita. At end, go to bar in 'far' dining room and pay there. Again, their way of business. For the food, it's value, you can handle the difference. Next time I will not be a newbie. As suggested by family, this was a great feed. Looking forward to the second time. Where I suppose, the 5 rating will be expected. read more

We're new to the town, and we have been trying out all the (few) local establishments. We've definitely been reliant on Yelp to see what is worth our while. We were encouraged by the reviews on Yelp for Juanita's and the restaurant is only a few miles from us. We work a ton and both commute to Boston, so we rarely have time together. We planned to have a date night at Juanita's last night. We walked in and stood there prior to asking to be seated. We were never given a direct answer, but ended up seating ourselves. We heard the couple next to us order, but never had a waitress come to us. About 10 minutes later, we had two beers delivered to our table. We had not ordered any beers. We recognized the beers were meant for the table next to us, and gave them the beers. It was another 15 minutes before anyone came to our table to take our order (we went to the front desk and found menus for ourselves). At this point we'd been in the restaurant over 30 minutes with no food or drink. 20 minutes later our food arrived. We had ordered the steak fajitas and the chicken fajitas. The rice was completely bland with no seasoning. The refried beans were clearly from a can. The fajitas were completely boring -- it was meat, onions, and peppers, with absolutely nothing else. Typically, you'd get a plate with cheese, sour cream, salsa/tomatoes, guacamole, etc. Nope. We had our food but still had no drinks. We asked for drinks but received them another 15+ minutes later, well after we'd finished our meager portions. I wasn't even in the mood for a beer at that point, but we'd ordered them, so I drank it. After FINALLY getting all our food and drink, we could not find one person to check us out. All in all, it took us one hour and forty minutes to get out of this restaurant where we ate one (tiny) entree apiece and drank one beer apiece. Had the food been outstanding I may have been wiling to overlook the horrific service, but everything was just bad. Sadly, we won't be back. read more

I have only done take out here, but the food has been consistently fresh and outstandingly delicious!!

My family and I stopped in here on Sat night after realizing that there was a wait at Chrysanthis. I've heard good things about Juanita's, but hadn't previously been there. The place is very small (about 5 or 6 tables). We sat in the "upstairs" area as the available tables were close to the front door. Yes, the menu is very small... but enough to hit all the bases. My kids split a 2 taco kids meal (as my son only likes tacos, and my daughter loves rice and beans). My wife got the taco salad and I got a pork & onion torta. (Torta is a "Mexican sandwich") The food was great! My son was put off a little bit by the fresh corn tortillas (as he is familiar with flour tortillas), but the meat was good. Daughter loved the rice and beans. Taco salad was HUGE and has bits of steak as opposed to ground beef. My torta was amazing. Probably one of the sandwiches I've ever had. The pork was well coated in a red sauce and had fresh red onion and cilantro. It had mayonnaise on it, but it definitely wasn't your typical Hellmans or Cains variety....something much lighter and more fluid. The fresh torta bun was good, but got a little soggy on the bottom from the filling. The only thing that was slightly strange was it took our server a good 20 mins to make up our bill. Three menu items ($8.50 each) and a lemonade shouldn't be that hard to compute. Not sure if he might have been new or something. Will definitely be back! read more
