    Street Tacos

    Juannitas is the best! Mole Sauce is amazing, if youve never had it try it. They updated their chips since the last time ive been. Best place to eat at in Bloomington!

    Wow! My first visit and I really love this beautiful, authentic Mexican restaurant. The service was sincerely warm, personable, and friendly. The restaurant is very nicely decorated, and has a beautiful deck for outdoor dining. It was also extremely clean. Certainly one of the cleanest restaurants I have ever visited. There was even a hand sanitizer dispenser on each table. Much appreciated! Upon entering the restaurant I was warmly greeted. Chips and salsa were served immediately. The chips were fresh and delicious, and the salsa was smooth and flavorful. Everything on the menu looked wonderful, but when I saw they offered cheese tamales I decided to try them. I actually ordered a combo with two cheese tamales, a cheese enchilada, rice, and beans. I absolutely loved the tamales! They were just the right level of heat, with a pepper inside. The enchilada was excellent as well, and the rice had a very nice flavor and texture, as did the refried beans. The service was so warm and friendly that I felt like a guest in someone's home. A very, very, enjoyable experience. There are so many things on the menu I am looking forward to trying, I will definitely make this my lunch or dinner stop the next time I am in Bloomington.

    *** THE FOOD IS SOOOO DELICIOUS, here. :-) Social distancing, and face masks is a must in order to enter the restaurant. Beautiful, and clean restaurant, inside and outside. :-) Carmen was our waitress, and she was very attentive and pleasant. We was seated and Ms. Carmen took our beverage orders. She brought salsa and chips, and they were delicious. For the drinks, I ordered lemonade, and my husband had water with lemons on the side. I selected shrimp fajitas, and my husband ordered the Juannita's fajitas. It comes with Chorizo, Carnitas, Shrimp, Steak, Chicken, Bell Pepper, Tomatoes, Bell Peppers, Onion, Rice & Beans. We didn't eat everything, so we took food back to the hotel. If we are in town again, we will definitely be back. :-)

    Tacos Classico with chorizo

    Have you ever had a craving for tacos at 9pm, but you're not really feeling Taco Bell ? Happened to me Saturday night. So my wonderful partner suggested Juannita's Restaurant ! I ordered tacos with chorizo plus guac and salsa. He ordered quesadilla with carne asada. And we both got mandarin jarritos ! And of course they gave us an order of nachos. Yum ! Everything was absolutely delicious. The rice and beans that come with entrees is always my favorite part at Mexican places. And the rice and beans here were amaze ! The carne asada was cooked and seasoned to perfection. I had never had a jarritos before, and I loved it ! The only downfall to this meal was getting too excited and dropping my last taco into my lap. Which has now been dubbed the "lap taco". Definitely suggest trying this place out if you're in Bloomington, IN !

    Chicken Chimichanga Lunch ~ the day the daughters had little patience for my food photography

    We have dined here many times as a family, usually for lunch and a few times for dinner. It has become a family favorite! I enjoy the coziness of the restaurant, we can carry on a conversation while enjoying our meal. We are seated moments within arriving, with chips and salsa arriving soon thereafter. (Can we take a moment to appreciate how incredibly fresh the salsa is each time we're there ~ I'm not usually a huge salsa fan, but fresh salsa is a completely different story!) Drink orders are usually taken at that time and arrive promptly. If there's any waiting on our meal order, that's usually because we are taking an extra moment to look at the menu. Chips: served warm Salsa: served fresh Cheese dip: served warm with chips Entrees: we have enjoyed all entrées tried, ranging from tamales, chimichangas, burritos, arroz con pollo... Sweet tea: our drink of choice, perfectly sweetened and refreshing Overall, a wonderful locally owned business!

    Carnitas!

    We ordered guacamole, carnitas and pozole. The ingredients were very fresh and flavorful! I would definitely recommend. The staff was super friendly. Chips were warm and delicious. Guacamole was some of the best I have ever had. Atmosphere is warm and cute.

    chips and salsa, queso, &different sizes of frozen margaritas (small on the left, jumbo in the front right&back left, large on the right)

    Best Mexican food in Bloomington, if you want REAL Mexican food. I recommend ordering the tacos or tamales with horchata to drink!

    It tastes like they love me…read more very pretty interior, nice patio, tres leches, smoothies, cafe beautiful smiling staff

    I'm not sure how I haven't reviewed VIvencia yet, but I looked and sure enough, I've been slacking!…read more After many trips, here is a quick summary of my most recent visit and some observations. TLDR: Love it. Visited today for breakfast with a friend, and it wasn't busy when I arrived, but was surprised at how many people arrived as we ate. It was a workday, and I thought there might be some breakfast meetings taking place, but the crowd trickled in a bit later as the morning lingered. Coffee options abound. As do smoothies and 'wellness shots' which aren't my thing but if you'd like a shot of healthy greens and a spice I've never heard of, enjoy! I had black coffee and it tasted better than most breakfast shots. They have a wide variety of lattes and other fancy custom options like the strawberry shortcake latte, etc. Ordered the breakfast burrito (sausage) and it was very good. I think I had the hangover burrito before (same thing but with gravy on top) and would opt for that one again next time. I had the strawberry banana pancakes at a prior visit as well, and remember them fondly. My dining companion had biscuits and gravy and said they were good. He is a man of few words. For dinner, they have a great menu that is 'latin flavors' as they say - everything from traditional Mexican food you'd find elsewhere to Argentinian options and more. They have great food. On a nice day, the patio is great other than the street traffic noise. This is a great option if you're wanting to get away from the other Mexican restaurants in town but still want something along those lines.
