Perfect place for taco Tuesday . My go to order is the chorizo queso and an order of 3 Americano tacos . I also enjoy the blackened fish taco as well . The servers are always nice. Just a heads up, this is a very very small space . They have outside seating as well but that can get taken up pretty easily. Parking isn't the best either . read more

I have been coming here for 15+ years. I drive from Metairie and pass at least 6 Mexican restaurants on my way to Juan's. My most recent visit will absolutely be my last!! Where do I start..... The Juan's I loved is gone. The service is horrible. The waitress was more interested in her phone than her next breath which was horrible. Get some gum or just brush your teeth. Her BO was very potent. Those crystals aren't working , get some Secret deodorant. The menu has changed and no longer has my wife's favorite , the chicken bacon ranch tacos. We asked if they could make it and they looked like I was speaking Russian. My enchiladas seemed like they were made by a 7 year old. They were both horrible. So now I'm driving past other restaurants to smell a stinky waitress that absolutely does not care about the guests she's "serving" and the food made hospital food look like fine dining. I'm so sad to have to post this review but I hope I can save someone from wasting a night out. I can't believe how fast and how far the quality of this restaurant has declined. It's sad but true. You've been warned. read more

Juan's Flying Burrito - Mid-City - Me and my love. - Mexican Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Juan's mid city is my favorite spot for fast food & an after work beverage. Damn good margs that will have you feeling yourself real fast. Love the queso & stadium nachos! Im typically a creature of habit, but I've been making efforts to try new menu items at my favorite spots, and I haven't been disappointed yet. My usual is the bacon azul quesadilla, but today the manager suggested the tuna tacos and HOLY MOLY. So good! Beware, though: that wasabi aoli will clear out your sinuses. Phone clearly did not eat first. read more

Nothing special to write home about. The jerk nachos were good, but served with shredded cheese that was melted vs. melty cheese - a little odd to me. I ordered a burrito bowl with no rice and added steak. Steak was good but massive pieces instead of diced meat to get equal bites of everything. The beans were also incredibly soupy, so it made the lettuce soggy immediately. My boyfriend ate their flying burrito and it was good, but he said it looked smaller than what he remembers it being (it has been sometime since the last time he was there, so this could also just be a misunderstanding on his part). The server was nice and accommodating with questions on the menu. I did like that part of the experience. read more

Outstanding service at the bar. Great drinks and food too! Had the Nachos Locos at happy hour!

We have lived close to Juan's for about seven years. We've been there many, many times as it's a convenient spot to meet up with people and they do make a good margarita. Now we are getting ready to move out of the neighborhood and it's time for a hard truth. I've never been impressed with the food, today's example is a perfect illustration of what happens when people stop caring, have no pride in their work, and are lazy. I'm posting the photo from their menu and what I got, you be the judge. Almost forgot!! We have two nice authentic mexican restaurants just across canal, just beyond Angelo Brocato's, either is a better choice. read more

Great Mexican spot in Mid City. Small but so quaint. We went around 6 on a Saturday so it wasn't crowded when we arrived but started getting more busy as the time went on. All of the staff were friendly. Our server was extremely kind and helpful. We stared with the chips and queso. We loved the he queso; a bit on the spicier side but not too hot that you didn't want to keep eating. The chips were fresh, light and crunchy. We had the regular Juan's burrito with chicken. Thankfully we split it because it is huge! It was filled with all fresh ingredients- grilled chicken, white rice, cheese and black beans. So delicious. The one thing I would have liked was a small cup of salsa on the side. I also had a Happy Hour special- a double House margarita for the price of a single. The strongest margarita I've ever had!!! If you like margaritas, they have a really big selection. read more

Juan's Flying Burrito is a great option for Mexican Food in New Orleans. There are many locations and each location is unique in it's own way. I swung by here for Taco Tuesday where their Street Tacos are $2 each! A good price always makes the food that much yummier! But even without the awesome deal the tacos were delicious! I especially love the shrimp taco! The chips is another of my favorite things at Juan's Flying Burrito! Super light and crispy and I could eat them all day long! Super dangerous, but worth it. Service: Great service! I was served immediately and my water was kept full. And even though they were in the middle of a shift change, they didn't miss a beat! Ambiance: Nice and spacious, lots of open tables at this time of day. Drinks: Full bar- during Happy Hour you can get an extra shot in your margherita. Parking- There's a small parking lot but it's usually super tight, so street parking may be your best bet. Outdoor Seating- There's a couple of tables outside. read more

Awesome spot if you are looking for super casual Mexican Food. There was no wait Saturday morning around noon, it was busy but tables were available. The chips and queso are pretty good, about what is expected for the price point. I really loved my Black Cherry Margarita, it was delightfully different, a little on the sweeter side but not overly. I also really enjoyed my pork and jalapeño slaw tacos, soft with crunchy slaw really hit the spot. Service was friendly too. read more

The food is amazing. I had the taco salad and depending on my level of hunger I can share this dish. It comes with chips and salsa and is flavorful with every bite. The drink on Mondays are 2-1 margaritas. So if I order a margaritas I get a double shot for the price of one. The drink was very pretty and not too sweet. Definitely relaxed me after a long hot Monday. The ambience was fairly quiet around 7pm. Parking is always a challenge but walking does not hurt. The bartender was attentive and very nice. I forgot my readers and she came through. Good job on having spares for those of us that are near sighted. read more

We will call this Juan's Flying Burrito the second coming! Had been here years ago and remembered the food being amazing so decided to check if it is still living up to the hype I gave it back then. Being on magazine st there is a lot of tough competition so you have to be on point to survive. Now they have been here since 1997 so there is longevity. I had the skirt steak nachos and my better half had the steak quesadillas. The nachos were piled high with steak ,cheese ,and salsa, the steak quesadillas were stuffed to perfection. I am happy to announce that they are indeed still putting out amazing food and happy to continue to promote their talents. Their artistic atmosphere and delicious food is a winning combo. So if you haven't tried, put it on your list the next time you are in New Orleans. read more

We popped into the restaurant on Oak Street. It was pretty late and the service we received from the get go was fab! The greeting was warm ( a gentleman) and our waitress Tiffany was great! We ordered the queso and it was on our table within minutes. We split the Juan's Flying Burrito and it was scrumptious!! The portion wasn't huge but we appreciated Tiffany splitting it for us. We will definitely be back! read more

Came here for weekday late lunch. Happy hour is a large sized margarita for a small size. We got the nachos supreme or equivalent of that which were on point. So much fillings, almost more than actual chips which never happens and was amazing! Also got the Juan's flying burrito which was huge and can definitely serve as 2 meals! Their street tacos are steep for $4 each and weren't that special Only off thing was that the menus we had actual mold on it.... We told the waiter who "put it aside" but it looked like he just put it sort of next to the rest of the menus. read more

We were in the mood for mexican and were in the area and never been here so decided to try it out. we starred out with chips and salsa, which are not complimentary here. the chips and salsa were decent, although a bit small for the price. we then ordered a taco salad and three tacos - a banh mi tofu taco a chicken taco and another veggie taco. the taco salad was large and had both chicken and beef but it was not in a taco shell rather it had pieces of tortilla on top. the tacos were decent, with good flavor and a decent size overall a decent place with good portion size and decent flavor read more

Love it here!!! This is DEFINITELY my FAVVVVVVV and my go-to for Mexican cuisine!!!! Located on the corner of Carrollton and Canal, Juans is where I stop in and pick up all things, Mexican. From the quesadillas to the nachos and chips to the fajitas to the burritos to the sopapillas to the tres Leche, to the Margaritassssssssss. I love it here. I ALSO love that there are several other locations in the city, just in case you're not in the area. But this is my favorite one. I love the staff. Not the greatest parking situation but it's Canal Street, what do you expect. Yes, Juans does not disappoint. The vast menu is simply amazing. I love that there is food for the meat lovers, and the vegans alike. I've had taco salads. I've had quesadilla with lettuce and tomato, my most recent favorite is the mango, spinach, jerk shrimp salad, that might not be the order of the words, but you get what I'm saying there's mango, there's jerk shrimp, there's spinach oh, and did I mention that there's a bean quesadilla amazing. I can eat that by itself and this is usually what happens... oh, and when I tell you the margaritas are everything, I'm not lying. They are to live for... whoop, whoop especially if you can catch the happy hour special where you will get a double for the price of a single... just one of those and you are flying high on the hog. I love it here as I said before it is my go to place for all things, Mexican. #thankfulThursday #yelpersgonyelp #supportlocal #veganoptions read more

I will only ever give this place 5 stars. It is my go to Cali Tex Mex spot. BUT at a recent visit, when I got my Gutter Punk, the burrito roller rolled it the wrong way. As in, I had a couple mouths full of rice, sour cream, jalapeños then beans and meat instead of a blend if it had been rolled in the correct direction. AND to add salt to my wound, they had a Justin Bieber song playing. Not an old one for cheese factor but too current to be punk rock y'all! Love you, mean it. read more

This is a popular, local Mexican food restaurant in Mid-City. I have been here a number of times when visiting New Orleans. The service is prompt and friendly.

Prices are within competitive range. read more

I have visited here twice during the week on my lunch hour within the past few months. There's very limited parking onsite. There are some free parking spots on surrounding streets. I ordered the chicken enchiladas meal on one visit and a beef enchiladas meal on the second visit. Both visits I ordered the churros dessert. The food tasted pretty good. During both visits, the waiter provided good service overall. Unfortunately the first time I visited, the waiter mistakenly forgot to give me my change back and I didn't realize it until I got back to my destination. I didn't bother to go back because it wasn't a large amount of money. During my second visit, I ordered the churros dessert to go and I realized once I got to my destination that I was not given the chocolate that goes with the dessert. I was very disappointed but I didn't have time to go back to the restaurant. I would return to the restaurant, I just know I need to make sure I remember to get my change and that I check any food items that I order to go to make sure everything is good. read more

You know this was a good place to eat and it's sad to say that the past two times we went was not a good experience. When we go eat food and my girlfriend isn't happy I'm not happy and we will no longer be attending y'all restaurant. About a couple weeks ago we went get burritos and I got the flying burrito and there was barely any meat. And then today I ordered the build your own burrito and I ordered special sauce for two dollars and they forgot it. This is the last straw and Juan's lost 2 loyal customers. read more

I hadn't been to Juan's location since high school, and it's exactly how I remember it: great staff, cozy interior, yummy food, and clearly everyone's favorite because it's always packed, lol. I also forgot how much of a doozy the parking lot is to navigate. It's quite compact and also shares space with what I think is an apartment complex and a business, so your spot options are further limited. Probably a better idea to parking on the street and walk. I wasn't sure what I was in the mood for food wise, but our lovely server, Morgan, recommended the flying enchiladas and I was not disappointed. They had a combo of shrimp, chicken, and steak in them and were covered in a delicious red sauce and cheese. It also came with rice and beans. No complaints here. We also got the queso with chorizo and guacamole. The guac was just the right amount of spicy and the chorizo wasn't too greasy or fatty. I also got a side of the pineapple salsa and it was delicious. Slightly spicy, sweet, and kind of refreshing for a hot day. It was super chunky though, so if you're looking for a more blended, smooth salsa this may not be your jam. The drinks were also quite good--got a double Cadillac margarita. Perfectly boozy. We ended up sitting outside, so I for sure feel like I should have tried a frozen drink, but there's always next time! read more

I love the menu options here. I've searched far and wide for something like the flying burrito in other cities and either it doesn't exist or it costs too much. Steak, shrimp and chicken in a burrito is genius! All of the menu items are reasonably priced. That said, the food at my last visit was underwhelming. The queso had the watery consistency of soup, the guac had too much citrus, and the salsa was bland. My burrito was okay, but the flying enchiladas were hard and crunchy. I still think it's a good place and I've always gone to this location, but I'll try a different location next time per recommendation from my friends. read more

We've been in Mid City for over two years and finally made an effort to try Juan's. It is really good, so now I'm kicking myself for not having tried it sooner! It's so close to us too! We got the Flying Burrito and Blackened Fish Tacos. We ordered pick up online and they were so fast to complete the order :) The Flying Burrito was delicious! It had skirt steak, chicken and shrimp! I forgot that, so when I tasted all of them, it was like "awesome!" They didn't overcook any of it either, so the texture and the flavors were great! The burrito ate really well with their red salsa; it offered a great kick without it overwhelming the palate. The fish tacos were awesome! I could actually taste the fish, which usually isn't the case at other restaurants. The sauce (I think it was cilantro) on the side they had with the tacos were great too...really elevated the flavors :) I know I'll be craving this place a lot. It's scary because it literally is two blocks from our house....dangerous Hahha read more

We went early on a Friday to beat the crowd and get parking. We got a table a few minutes after arriving and it was so hot inside. I got a cocktail off their tales of the cocktail menu and it was nice and spicy. For an appetizer we got chips and queso which were nice. For my meal I got the steak tacos and a side of black beans. The black beans were good and I added some of the green salsa to kick it up. The steak in my tacos were kind of fatty which turned me off. Next time I'll get something else. read more

Dear Juan's Flying Burrito Management, I'm writing to share some extremely disappointing feedback regarding the service I recently received at your Mid City location. As someone who lives in New Orleans and works in the hospitality industry myself, I have a high level of appreciation for our city's restaurants and the people who keep them running. I also understand that no one is expecting fine dining service at a casual neighborhood spot--but we are expecting basic, respectful, and competent service. Unfortunately, that was not the experience I received at the bar during my last visit. And to be frank, it's part of a pattern I've seen more than once at this location. Let me be clear: this email isn't about nitpicking--it's about calling attention to consistent, avoidable service issues that reflect poorly on your restaurant. I sat at the bar with a friend. It wasn't busy. Yet, the bartender was on their personal phone and didn't acknowledge us when we sat down. No greeting. No menus. No bar napkins. No "I'll be right with you." Nothing. When we were finally addressed, it was rushed and impersonal: "Do y'all want something to drink?"--with not even a menu in sight. When we asked for water and a menu, it felt like pulling teeth. The bartender made no effort to walk us through the menu or even give us a moment to look it over. It's as if we were expected to memorize our order before we walked in the door. Eventually, our food came (which was good--credit to the kitchen), but not once were we checked on after the meal was delivered. The bartender disappeared entirely. A second bartender showed up but ignored us. Then a third appeared and also failed to acknowledge us. I had to flag them down just to ask for the check and boxes. That's when I was informed that the original bartender had left the building. No one communicated that to us. No one followed up. No one took responsibility. Let me be clear: this is not acceptable. I still tipped 20% because I believe in supporting service workers, but the experience was frustrating and frankly disrespectful. This isn't about bad service on a bad day. This is about a clear lack of training and oversight. If you value your guests--and your staff--then it's time to revisit some of the most basic hospitality protocols: Greet guests promptly. Present menus and water without delay. Ask for initial drink/appetizer orders. Then take entrée orders. Check in during the meal. Offer dessert if applicable. Present the check and provide to-go boxes if requested. Say thank you, take payment, and invite the guest back. These are fundamentals. Not luxuries. Juan's Flying Burrito has great food and a strong local following--but the service at this location has become an issue. I genuinely hope you'll take this feedback seriously and retrain your front-of-house staff accordingly. read more

I mean... what's not to like. Consistency is the name of the game. Reliable!! Normally I get the pork and slaw tacos. So good! The most recent time I ordered this hawaiian quesadilla. I can't remember the name of it now. It was very good though. They have such a high variety on their menu. If you're looking for authentic Mexican, this probably isn't the place. If you're looking for good food, you found it! read more
