Weird service. We were seated and ignored for 10 minutes, so I got up and got us coffee and then they came to the table and told us we weren't allowed to do that, and then served us. Very good food though! We were there for brunch and the menu skewed more Mexican-Mexican than Mexican-Fusion, which I appreciated. The coffee was great too. read more

La Caverna - what a nice dessert, our server Juan was super nice and friendly at all time. - Mexican Near Me - Juneau, Alaska

This place is worth the hype!!! Don't skip on the quesadillas with shredded pork they are phenomenal! When you find the location and you walk down the stairs, you kind of wonder where you going and then you find the small 15 top restaurant I can maybe hold 35-50people. You sit down you get waited on by friendly staff and you get amazing food. We were very impressed by the nachos. They were our main course we shared with two people. I would recommend trying different meats. We had Al Pastor and their classic. We also came back a second day and tried the short rib with the kimchi rice. I couldn't tell you a kimchi rices, but it's amazing and it was completely gone. The short rib was very good, but their rice was amazing. Overall, this is a great place to go either for appetizers ,a good dinner. Or just a glass of wine in the cellar. read more

Such a fantastic new addition to Juneau. By and far the best Mexican food in town, and such a gem in our community.

V's is in a great location with enjoyable seating in a basement location. The service was great as when I arrived we were the only group in the restaurant. The food was quite unimpressive. I ordered the taco platter which is an assortment of every taco they sell. Despite each taco boasting different fillings, they all tasted mostly the same. They were overdone on the acid and although they weren't bad, weren't particularly good either. This is my second time going and will likely be my last. read more

This restaurant recently changed owners and the new menu is terrible. They took everything this place was known for and ruined it.

Guy Fieri got it right when he recommended V's Cellar. Every time I come back I want to order everything, from my go-to order of 3 tacos, or something new like the specials and burritos. The food is so good it's hard to decide between so many wonderful choices. The warm lighting and beautiful bar and wood decor makes this a great spot for lunch or a night out. Every time the wait staff is attentive, provides helpful recommendations, and provide quick service. Icing on the cake? There are countless vegan and vegetarian options and modifications making this a great stop for everyone! read more

We were looking forward to trying the Mexican/Korean fusion items touted in several reviews. However, under new ownership this is strictly a Mexican food restaurant. Not a Korean fusion item in sight. That said, the Tacos Arabe were tasty. My friend's Ceviche Mestizo was bland, and the fish hadn't marinated long enough to be cooked. She enjoyed her non-alcoholic shrub drink, and my gin cocktail was fine but not the one I ordered! I drank it anyway because the one, friendly waiter doubled as the bartender, and I didn't want to wait longer than we already had for a replacement. If they can hire more staff it would be worth a second visit. read more

Incredible little spot with laid back atmosphere and super friendly staff. Definitely suggest the poké bowl it's the best in town. read more

La Caverna - Poké - Mexican Near Me - Juneau, Alaska

I really hate to give them such a low rating because the service was super sweet, and they are one of the few restaurants that offers a number of vegan options. However, I just cannot overlook how disappointed I was in the food and drink. While waiting for my order to be prepared, I decided to try a shrub. This particular one had sherry in it. I can't remember the name, maybe because it was not worth remembering. The fusion nachos, I substituted the meat for a vegan meat. I didn't realize that was an additional $4 until receiving the bill. The vegan meat was mushy, the beans were super dry, the cheese basically non-existent and nachos were overly salty. I ordered my food to-go so I had to make the best of it. I tried to use the guacamole to help cut the saltiness of the nachos. The vegan bulgogi taco had the same mushy vegan meat, was way too wet and also very salty. Overall, a very disappointing meal that would not make me return. read more

Amazing amazing food. Great service. 10 out of 10. After eating cruise buffet food for a few days, finally some food that tasted GOOOOOD

Taco's were excellent favors and just enough with an order of three. Five shrub beverages. Too test the all we ordered a flight. Tasty and now I know my favorite!! Try it to fi d yours too. read more

Two stars rather than one because the food was edible and didn't get me sick. However, it was the worst meal I can remember having eaten in three years or so. In general, the tacos and rice bowl were just borderline tasteless, with stale tortillas and overcooked soggy meat. There's not much more to say. I'll concede that, to find some positives, the tuna was fresh, as were the onions. They're also quite understaffed, with it taking us over 10 minutes to get a menu. read more

I have not been here in a long time so when I discovered this place hasn't closed down yet I thought I would give this establishment another chance. Unfortunately it is still a dim dark basement but the service was decent. The nachos have an odd texture and they were extremely sweet. The burrito was as if someone dumped sugar all over it. The burrito was a soggy diaper. There was not one thing edible and it baffles me how they can still be open. Something smells fishy. Do I recommend this establishment?.. I recommend you avoid. read more

My wife and I went to V's after our excursion in Juneau off the Virgin Voyages Brilliant Lady. We find Diners Drive Ins and Dives restaurants wherever we travel and hoped to enjoy the dishes Guy Fieri enjoyed at V'S. We were disappointed by the news of new ownership and changes in the menu but disappointment turned to joy when we ordered from their brunch menu and had the most incredible Chilaquiles and Eggs Benedicto! The food was outstanding, the service friendly, and owner Gonzalo earned our forever gratitude for personally driving my wife's phone to the Virgin security crew at the port when she left it at the restaurant and we didn't realize it until we were back on the ship! Guy needs to go back to V's Cellar Door! read more

Highly recommend! Food was really great. Our group of 5 had a variety of meat, seafood and vegan dishes. Sammara did an amazing job helping us decide. The Elote, ceviche, tacos, burritos were all very tasty! read more

Delicious food, fast service and it was nice and quietly quaint. We had Bulgogi Nachos which I highly recommend!! read more

Great service on a rainy night in December! I loved walking into this subterranean vibe. Mexican and Korean is one of my favorite fusions! It makes sense on many levels. Everything here was on the mild side. I missed some spice! Overall, the service was good. The food wasn't very salty. The drinks were tasty too read more

We were looking for lunch and stumbled across this hidden gem a bit off the beaten tourist path. Great cocktails and a large variety of food options. Waitress was fantastic and helpful and even offered a "two bite rule" if we didn't like something, she'd make something else to replace it. Super fun atmosphere; great for groups. Enjoyed the unique spin on Korean and Mexican food. Highly recommend!! read more

My family ate here 1/30/2026 and the food was amazing. 7 of us and we all loved it. It was one of the best meals I've had out since I cant remember. Can't recommend highly enough. I don't know the owner, don't know the cooks, don't know any of the staff. Not pulling your chain. The food was literally the best I've had since I don't know when. read more

We were starving! After a long day we decided to try V's, we ordered the pork nachos, pozole (soup), and the sampler taco platter. The nachos were the best thing we ate, and the soup was so salty I returned it. Because we shared the taco sampler I can say my favorite was the Korean chicken, the pork was the same as what was on the nachos and had nice flavor but nothing noteworthy. My coworker stated the other tacos were ok but nothing to brag about. I did appreciate the 2 bite rule- if you take 2 bites you can return the item and exchange it because they do want you to be satisfied. Overall the meal was ok but probably not someplace I would visit again read more

Food 10/10 Ambience 10/10 Service 10/10 Visited this cellar after seeing the rave on Food Network's Diner, Drive-Ins, & Dines ... there's a reason why they were featured on the show! The ribs, that they're known for, were out of this world! read more

I really wanted to like this restaurant but sadly the food was bland and just not tasty. We had the taco trio, a salad, a shrug and a bowl. My favorite dish was the salad especially the amount of blue cheese. Maybe the kitchen had an off day? read more

We tried this place because we saw that it had been featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. V's Shiz-Boom-Pop! Corn was delicious! It's drizzled with their sweet & spicy fusion sauce and some green onions. I enjoyed my bulgogi steak and Korean chicken tacos, but the steak was a bit dry. Others in our party loved their Korean BBQ ribs and the Ahi Ceviche. The punch bowl was plenty to drink for 3 or even 4 people. Even thought it's a spiked punch, it was not heavy on the alcohol. Overall we enjoyed our lunch at this hidden underground spot. read more

Delightful Asian Fusion restaurant located in downtown Juneau! The elements of fusion here is combining Asian and Mexican cuisine with wonderful results! On the menu they have a taco sampler. I can never resist tacos so I picked three from the sampler. One was a Ginger Tofu taco, a Korean BBQ taco and a chicken taco. All of the tacos were wonderful and offered a unique spin to the taco concept. V's also had shrub drinks which were very good! There were a couple of different ways to combine two of the drinking vinegars together for an intriguing combination. I got a mix of pomegranate and jalapeño in a bubbly Italian soda like fashion. Very refreshing and enjoyable! I would love to come back and try out more of their menu items! read more

this restaurant was recommended by iconic guy fieri, so my bf and i were excited to try this place! upon entering the restaurant, we were actually surprised that we were heading down into a cellar, which was super fun because it's true to their name! inside, the vibe seems dark, romantic, and quiet which was funny because we're eating tacos and nachos. we both got two tacos each & shared a smaller portion of the bulgogi nachos. you get to choose which protein goes on the nachos, and you should order the bulgogi! it's a sweet and savory addition to the crunchy and yummy nachos and we went to flavortown! the tacos themselves were alright, but was just basically meat on a small tortilla. i wish there was some toppings on there to add more flavor and depth. bf got two of the most spicy meat options there, and according to him, were not very spicy at all. next time i hope we try the bowls or specials on the menu (also recommended by fieri). the service was good and the staff are nice as she explained everything on the menu, which was appreciated and informative. read more

What an eccentric culinary gem! In general I sort of a shy away from and shun fusion joints... but boy howdy this place is a stand out in a spectacular sort of way. Yeah, it got accolades on Food Networks DDD - but this joint lives up to the hype... as much so or more than my visit to the Taco Bus in Tampa years ago. The Short Ribs rocked... the Nachos (with Ahi)... yeah get these. The craft cocktails - Shazam! The fusion sauce... you could poor it on your shoe, it's that good. The Pozole was good and even better with the fusion sauce. Chocolate Brûlée - I was stuffed but wanted to lick the bowel. The service - that was great as well. We were in town celebrating my birthday and on our arrival our reserved table was set for celebration, complete party poppers! read more

We came in Sunday night (7/18) where they turned us away bc they were too busy. We made reservations with the waitress to come in the following day (19th) at 6pm. When we arrived at 6pm the next day, the restaurant was closed. We were pretty sad about it because we'd been looking forward to it all day. We decided to shoot for lunch there the following day once again. We got in and it wasn't nearly as busy. The waitress was helpful with the menu and our order came out fairly quick. The burrito I got was smothered in a sauce that resembles sauce used for korean fried chicken (yangnyeom chicken), which is mainly garlic, gochujang, soy sauce, and sweetener based. It was like eating a burrito with korean fried chicken sauce, which wasn't bad at all but a confusing culinary experience for a Korean person. I think it would be cool to come up with a spicier sauce as well, maybe something similar to the sauce used for korean spicy squid. Overall it was a good experience. read more

A hidden gem! So glad we found it! Got two Korean bbq tacos one chicken and one bolgogi! Both delicious!

I've been visiting Juneau off and on a few times a year for the last 25 years. Seems very few places stay around for long. Even when the same names remain, ownership and management changes. I hope this place sticks around. I was the only person on a cool Spring evening. No ships in the harbor yet so I wasn't surprised there weren't any customers when I climbed down the stairs at 5:30. I imagine there will be a wait when the ships come in. My waiter was very attentive (obviously) and explained the concept of the restaurant. Bottom line, it's a taco place with Asian influences. As prices go, it hasn't gone crazy like some of the other places in Juneau, which was hit hard by Covid. Three tasty tacos for $13 and a cocktail for $10. Desert was overpriced however. $10 for a Creme Brûlée. Not all that expensive but more than I expected because the price wasn't on the menu. I imagine this place might get really loud because it's essentially a cellar with little to no sound proofing. Lastly, other reviews complain about the long wait for food to come out. I was the only customer and waited about 15 mins. I was just wondering when I'd see my three tacos when they showed up. They were good and I'd recommend getting the sampler of 7 tacos if there are two of you. If you have a ship to catch make sure they know and get there with time to spare. You might just want to order a little more. read more

Mexican-Korean fusion cuisine - dishes ranged from rice bowls to salads to fusion nachos. The dishes were all flavorful and we enjoyed our rice bowl with ahi tuna and ahi tuna taco. Their house chili paste was the perfect spicy accompaniment. Fun to try if you want something a little creative and different. My only slight hesitation is the restaurant is underground so in terms of COVID, there is not as much ventilation as I would have liked. However, restaurant staff was taking precautions seriously and engaging in contact tracing and, of course, mask wearing. read more

Try this inventive Asian-Mexican fusion spot. I was in town for Legislative duties and took a coworker to dinner. The menu is limited but they have worked out some of the kinks I've experienced here before. V is dedicated and deserves more than one try. Go when you're in the mood for their (limited) offerings and have an adventurous beverage. Try the ceviche, nachos, or the tinga burrito if you're not sure. read more
