Another outstanding hole in the wall option with good selection of beverage and vegetarian meal options. Service was good, beers quickly appeared with 2 very large burritos following. I had the Supergreen burrito with added tofu and cheese, partner had the Veggie Punk burrito with added tofu. We each sampled both and had a spirited conversation over which was better. Definitely would return read more

Still delicious after all these years! I haven't been to Juan's in a while and that's a shame. They have made some changes to the menu but most of the favorites have been on the menu for over 15 years and are still great. One notable change is the tortillas have been upgraded since the last time I went. They are fresher and better (not that they were bad before). The day we went was pretty busy and the service was a little slow to start with but they seemed short staffed for the amount of people on a Tuesday afternoon, so no harm there. The music that was playing was an interesting choice, a mix of death metal that I could have done without, but it's always different so I don't mind hearing something that's not my favorite. All in all, a consistently delicious menu and a funky little spot! read more

Juan's Flying Burrito - Menu - Mexican Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Stopped in for a quick afternoon bite and chose to sit at one of the two tables out front. The service was great--staff were very attentive to guests, even those seated outside, which I truly appreciated. I started with the hibiscus margarita, which wasn't my favorite. This may simply come down to personal preference, but it didn't taste well-mixed and lacked a smooth finish. That said, the queso and blackened fish tacos I ordered more than made up for it--they were absolutely delicious and did not disappoint. I would return. read more

Okay, I'm confused by the raving reviews. Maybe I have to come in during the day for lunch or something cause late night (9pm) the food is not it. I ordered a veggie punk burrito and it was sloppy. The burrito was not wrapped right. As soon as I undid the foil it was wrapped in, the burrito was coming a part and you can tell it was barely much food. Seriously chipotle wraps their burritos better. I had to go back and look at the ingredients cause where was the rice and beans. They just added the jalapeños and potatoes but barely if any rice and beans. Oh and it was not hot. Like I said this was not it. read more

All the locations are great but this one just hits every time. Great service, hot and fresh food, and a casual ambiance so it's perfect for anytime. Also a great neighborhood feel. read more

Juan's Flying Burrito - Bar area - Mexican Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Sophia and I had lunch here at Juan's during our annual Christmas visit to New Orleans with our respective families. This has been one of our favorite spots for years when we lived in the area until moving to Virginia, but we stopped by several times with the last visit occuring in 2019. Let's find out if this visit served us well or not. There was plenty of seating available when we walked inside. Less foot traffic for us which is a very good thing. The decor was spotless with a mixture of music playing on the speakers. Within minutes, we were ready to order. For apps, we chose chips and queso. Not a bad start for our meal with the queso cheese well seasoned. For my main course, I selected the Cow Punk burrito which consisted of skirt steak, home fry potatoes, chile-aioli, melted cheddar jack cheese and salsa fresca. Very good and flavorful. Just keep in mind the burrito isn't as big as others due to the number of ingredients included, but it was well cooked. Sophia had the flying burrito which she did finish in one setting. A pretty good lunch for the both of us. Most likely, we'll be back the next time we're in New Orleans. Till next time :) read more

One of my friends told us to come check out Juans when out in NOLA! It is definitely everything they chalk it up to be. Everything is incredible, from the burritos to the nachos we had as we waited for our food. Laidback place at the time of day we went, we had a great time! The ambiance is inviting and warm, I thought the lights and chandeliers were fun! read more

I've been here a lot of times and usually I love it today was very meh. I had the blackened fish tacos, ginger mint lemonade with Tito's, chips with refried beans. The chips are always delicious and I like them with beans instead of salsa (I don't eat cilantro). The ginger mint lemonade didn't taste like ginger, mint, or lemonade. The tacos were overloaded with coleslaw and tomatoes. The coleslaw was spicy (like it was supposed to be) but lacked flavor. Service was also meh. My food was dropped off and the server didn't come back until I had finished and was ready to go. That was disappointing because I was going to order another drink. read more

So.... I happen to be out late and craving Mexican! The pitstop to Juan's is just what the doctor ordered! Anyone who knows me, knows I'm a creature of habit. Tonight I'm switching it up and ordering something different These Blackened Redfish Tacos were so delicious! The fish was so fresh and flavorful, and not dry! This is key for me because who wants dry overcooked fish?! The toppings were fresh and the combination was tantalizing to my palette. I swapped the pico for the pineapple salsa and added fresh jalapeño for a little kick. I'm picky and rate them a 10/10!! I usually order a shrimp quesadilla w/grilled onions and garlic. Now I have two to choose from! Last, but not least, the house Margarita is always fire Be sure to stop in.... You'll thank me! You're Welcome! read more

Great Mexican Food, nice casual funky vibe, attentive service. I had the Flying Burrito which I believe was the best burrito I've ever had. A fantastic combination of flavors served hot and fresh. The house made red hot sauce was a perfect compliment. Green hot sauce is also served. My dining partner had the cheese enchiladas which she said were delicious. This is a small place but there is a nice bar area and some booths and tables. The service was friendly and attentive. read more

Porcha took very good care of us this evening at Juan's Flying Burrito. We walked in at a great time, although all seats were occupied, there was no wait for us. The bartender delivered delicious margaritas, I had the low rider margarita, 10/10. The cooks made wonderful red fish tacos and steak nachos. The ambiance was chill, and service was excellent! read more

Started off with a rocky start. No one up front. Bartender came up and asked if he could help me. When I said I'd like to eat, he said so you'd like a table??? Then brought me to a table and grabbed an empty soda can from the table... hmmm! Waitress was nice. Menu looked good, so I tried the Crawfish Enchiladas and a Jerk taco. Food was great! Way better than Aaron's Johnny Sanchez. read more

Vegas, thank you! I had a long day of work and needed a big tasty meal. I found Juan's online and decided to grab some food to take back to my hotel. Vegas helped me out and she was a delight. This was my favorite place that I ate on this business trip! I ordered the chips and guacamole. They give you a ton of guacamole. It is fresher and tastier than buying the same amount at the grocery store. Cheaper too! The flying burrito was also really good. The steaks inside had a great taste but I didn't really like shrimp inside. I'd still eat it though. To top off, I also ordered a Mexican chocolate brownie. This was not that tasty, but fine for a bite or two. The seating outside is nice and I will take advantage of next time. Inside is chill and they had a ample seating around 6PM. The place looks clean and has a chill atmosphere. I will be coming back for sure. read more

We stopped into Juan's after a few hours walking around and exploring the garden district. Mexican is my absolute favorite cuisine so I was really excited to try this one - and we were so glad we did! We were seated quickly because it wasn't busy at all, right at the front of the restaurant near the windows. The menu is extensive so I had a hard time deciding on what to order, but ultimately went with the flying burrito with queso. It has CHICKEN, SHRIMP, aaaaand STEAK! Best of all worlds in one meal imo! It was absolutely delicious. The refried beans had a ton of flavor and the burrito had a lot of steak and chicken in it. I also added salsa to it, as we ordered chips and salsa as an appetizer. You have to pay for them but it's only about $3 and it's bottomless, so it's worth it I think, especially because the salsa was tasty, fresh, and with a good amount of spice. My husband got the nachos with chicken and beef and he really liked them too! One thing I also want to mention here is the price point - Food in this area can be so expensive and this was one of our most affordable meals we had in our trip, especially for the value of how great the food was. We'll definitely be recommending this stop to friends and family in the future! read more

We ordered the corn dip and the fajitas, neither was very exciting. I definitely would not order the corn dip again, it didn't have much flavor at all. The fajitas were decent enough, they could have used a bit more seasoning as well. The service was okay, just average. The ambience is very New Orleans. There is cool art on the walls. It's a funky place and the prices are decent. I've been there other times and it was better. I would go back. read more

Juan's Flying Burrito was a recommendation from one of our Uber drivers during our trip to New Orleans. He did such a great job of planting the seed in our heads that it was the first place on our minds when we were out in the Garden District. We arrived at Juan's Flying Burrito around 9pm on a Tuesday evening. There weren't too many customers at the time, but there were still folks coming into the restaurant up to closing time. Cool vibe of the place. Reminded me of modern taquerias back at home in SF. Our server, Sadie, was awesome. She was really personable and attentive. We enjoyed chatting with her and found that she's a Bay Area native as well. I thought the food was overall tasty. My fiance and I shared the chips and salsa, a jerk chicken street taco, and the flying burrito. Chips and salsa were solid. Nothing unique to point out, but worth noting how fresh they tasted. I had half the Flying Burrito and felt full. It was essentially a super burrito but with three types of meats: steak, shrimp, and chicken. I could particularly taste the marinade of the steak, which was so flavorful. I didn't quite notice the chicken, but I knew it was in there due to the texture. I wish there was more pieces of shrimp. Although the flying burrito was very good, the jerk chicken street taco was my favorite. The soft taco was heated up, which gave it a nice crispness to it. The jerk chicken seasoning was amazing. read more

Stopped in to buy a tshirt for a friend and ended up staying for queso and margarita's because the vibes & AC felt so nice. The margaritas and the trio of dips were perfect. My toddler demolished his quesadilla. The servers were the best and so friendly to my kid. They do have high chairs but no changing tables in the bathroom (although the sink counter is big enough). read more

Super casual and affordable dine in Mexican restaurant located on magazine street. I got the luv it bowl, and boy did I love it. It's a veggie heavy bowl, and I definitely needed it after eating for the past few days in New Orleans. A welcome reprieve, for sure. The service was friendly and food came out quick. Definitely worth checking out, especially if you're looking for an affordable option in the neighborhood. read more

Good ole Juan's! I used to live around the corner from the CBD location and they usually had some Good smelling aroma coming from the kitchen! The Magazine st location was right there with them. I had the Hawaii 504 nachos, which is enough for a meal on its own. The service was about what you'd expect, not saying it's bad, but what you'd expect for a chill Mexican restaurant and bar. Go check these guys out! read more

It was honestly the worst food I've ever tasted. We ordered the chicken enchiladas. Don't bother. It was so poorly executed the food didn't even smell. It tasted like cardboard, tortillas were dry and hard, the chicken wasn't even shredded or cooked with any spice. It was just fajita strips...Then the kicker there was zero salsa or cheese on it! I mean what the heck. The rice had zero flavor and was a mushy mess, I didn't bother with the beans. Finally my mimosa was hot. Umm yeah happy bday lunch to me read more

A longtime institution on Magazine Street and for good reason - hefty California style burritos loaded with flavor, served efficiently by a great front of house team. I was enjoying their queso con chorizo last week when a very tall fellow emerged from behind the kitchen wearing a Luchador mask, leopard print bikini and neon green Crocs and carrying a gigantic Fender P-Bass. He stood in front of the restaurant and yelled, "I am the God of hellfire and I bring you...." and suddenly started playing a very intense, dramatic, poignant, and moving bass solo that was truly transfixing. Patrons all stared in awe and some held out lighters in a sign of solemn solidarity for the epic performance they weee witnessing collectively. Then some beautiful woman who was heavily tattooed and wearing rockabilly attire started tossing churros to customers, blasting Preoccupations and things got a little wild. read more

JUAN'S CHARGES FOR CHIPS & SALSA - WTF? (See management's truculent response below) Nice. Bona Fides: I've had almost 400 excellent meals at Juan's since they opened in the 90's and I think it is the best Tex Mex in the city. Food: growing up @ Austin, I'm always impressed that Juan's offers its beef medium rare, a "rare" sign of quality. Service: employee retention (particularly the excellent Brittany and Crystal) is high, and an indication that Juan's is a good place to work. Atmosphere: a comfortable vintage funky vibe, much like the original Chuy's @ Austin. PROTIP: JUAN'S CHARGES FOR CHIPS & SALSA !! - unforgivable in Texas. And it's what? $0.50 to $0.75 cents in cost?? About a 500% mark-up. So petty. read more

Juan's Flying Burrito - Taco Tuesday!! - Mexican Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

A buddy and I were craving a margarita while catching a football game on a Saturday night. We grabbed a seat at the bar and were immediately greeted by a great bartender. I ordered a spicy marg which was truly fantastic. This was one of my favorite margs here in New Orleans -- it was a perfect balance of sweet, heat, and lime, very refreshing! We split an order of chips and queso which was good. The queso thickened very quickly after being served, but was good while it lasted. I ordered a banh mi taco and a shrimp taco, which were both very very good. The Banh Mi taco was a unique choice that I would highly recommend to anyone who stops in. The cost of the meal was very fair compared to some other taco spots in town. Overall, the vibe of the restaurant was laid back and relaxing and the food and drink was great and fairly priced. I would recommend to anyone looking for a taco and marg in the area. read more

This place was not great at all. Took 10 minutes for the waiter to ask us for drinks and bring us menus, and we were one of the only groups there. No chips and salsa to start. The guacamole tasted completely off and practically couldn't be eaten. The beef street tacos were terrible. There was more onion than beef, and the onion came in chunks! I had a bite of a burrito which was fine, but extremely unsatisfied with my "tacos" - if you could bestow that name upon whatever I received. Wish our experience was like everyone else's....won't be returning. read more

There's grunge then there's just dirty nasty Also- Staff - Drink less on the job and not delete items when paying someone is paying CASH so they can DOUBLE DIP Yea I watched you Food was atrocious and the margaritas don't need to be pure cheap tequila to taste good Step up your game you've gone very downhill Now I'll wait for the owner response- Who will berate me for leaving an HONEST review read more

This has long been one of my go-to restaurants in New Orleans. I absolutely love the relaxed atmosphere. You can tell the staff are hardworking awesome humans. Food wise, I regularly order the bacon Azule quesadilla which is huge and hearty. I like the Mojado Burrito. Easily feeds two people or one very hungry person. All of the locations are pretty much equal. Solid place to visit read more

Trendy vibes & a huge menu selection made Juan's a great place for an early lunch & our party of 7 on a Sunday. Our waiter was so nice & accommodating & made several helpful recommendations. Was nice to see a place abiding by the vaccination order also. I had the steak big bowl which was good & too much to finish off. Was loaded with fresh jalapeños, lots of skirt steak, rice, potatoes & beans. Most of the table had an assortment of tacos & burritos & seemed to enjoy them. Would come back here just because the service was so good, but the food was good also. read more

Chill, laid back vibes in this Mexican restaurant. Seating inside (tables/booths) and outside (picnic tables). Came in around 6pm on a Friday. It was busy but we did not have to wait for a table. Waiter came over quick got us waters & told us about their happy hour (super nice as we didn't know it was HH). Menu is about 3 full pages long. There are apps, salads, tacos, burritos, enchiladas, fajitas and a vegetarian section. We got the queso as an appetizer (4/5). We can out of chips and our waiter brought more - no charge. Happy hour house margs - double for the price of a single (basically save $3). They tasted good - not the best one ever but for the price you can't beat it. I order chicken enchiladas verde (4/5) - I found the chicken to be flavorful as well as the verde sauce. Did not care for their refried pinto beans and yellow rice. My friend got a regular burrito with adobo chicken and said it was very good. It was huge on the plate. After tip $55 for 2 drinks, app, 2 entrees. read more

The place appeared to be clean! The burrito was hot and stuffed. I should've ordered just veggie burrito because the steak was not tender and had no taste. The chicken was over cooked and dry. The service was easy and the young lady was nice! I was greeted fast. This was my first time trying this place. I'm not sure I would try again. I was told the meat would be doubled since I am allergic to shrimp which comes on the burrito. The meat portions were small. Tons of beans, guac, and rice on the burrito. I also feel like maybe the steak was cooked in a pan that shrimp had previously been in. read more

We have been in here many many times and loved it! Yesterday however was horrific. There were 4 tables sat and it looked like they all had their food. Our waiter stood at the door and never went back to check for our food. Over a half hour later ( yes we timed it) he shows up with flaming hot plates with the worst looking food ever. It was obvious that these had been sitting under the heat lamp for a LONG TIME. I got chicken enchiladas with red sauce and there was very little meat that was dried out. I wanted red sauce, and if there was any, it was baked on. The tortillas were crunchy and I got black beans even though the menu said refried. My husband got the flying enchiladas which is supposed to be 3 different enchiladas ( beef, chicken, shrimp) with a different sauce on each one. The meats were all mixed together with one sauce that was again baked on with dried crunchy tortillas. I took mine home (never ended up eating it) and my husband ate part of his. The only reason we didn't say anything is because we couldn't get the waiters attention away from whatever he was playing with at the podium. I don't know who to blame more, the waiter that paid no attention to anything, or the cooks that got the orders wrong with bad quality. read more

Where do I start!!! The food? The host? The service? Hostess: me and my wife came here and planned to get take out. However, the hostesses welcoming demeanor (and the fact they offered NA Beers) made us feel welcomed so we stayed and boy were we happy we did. The service was top notch, very friendly and very accommodating. Food: the salsa was the best I've tasted in the south. The entrees? WOW!! My wife got the Red Chile Chicken Quesadilla and at first we were wondering if that would work with the cucumber sauce and boy did it!! Perfect combination of flavor and heat. I had the The Flying Burrito and that monstrosity is AMAZING!! Definitely an explosion of flavor. Great food overall. The restaurant is very fairly priced, if anything? The food would be worth more. Overall great experience. I usually have pics of everything but the food was so good? We didn't have a chance read more

Late lunch on a hot and humid Sunday early afternoon was an interesting dining experience. We stared with a pitcher of margaritas which was nice & cold, and shared the Hawaiian Nachos with spicy carnitas, pineapple and grilled mangos. We had a couple of simple questions about other menu items but our server seemed to be a bit clueless and had to get input from coworkers. We decided the nachos and margaritas were enough for lunch so we headed back to the French Quarter area to finish the afternoon. read more
