    Extra Salsas
    Deb H.

    I had this restaurant bookmarked on Yelp for a while now and am so glad I was finally in the area to try it out. What makes Los Juniors special is that it is a super cute restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating (located in more of a residential neighborhood versus commercial center) but it's ALSO a drive thru which is awesome to get sit down quality food in a drive thru experience (which if you have kids like I do, you know that is clutch!) We actually ate inside and tried a variety of items. Our favorites were the fish tacos (they truly are just as good as all the other 5 star Yelp reviews recommend) and chile rellenos. We got a few other tacos and it's important to note that the tacos are really big! Not the mini tacos here but really good size tacos so if you normally eat 3 tacos, I'd suggest getting 2 here since they are good sized. Their carnitas is also really good with crispy edges that I love. Overall the ambiance is super cute, all the employees are really nice, and the food is delicious and the location isn't too far away from the 78fwy so it's very easy to stop by!

    Fastest service I've ever experienced. I ordered 4 Fish Tacos, 3 Carne Asada Street Tacos, and 3 Adobada Street Tacos to go. The food was tasty. My favorite is the Fish Tacos and Adobada. I found the decor to be cute. There's palm trees inside the restaurant and has a vibrant feel to it. They also have outdoor patio seating. I'd come here again.

    We've been in SD for almost a year now and it took us this long to hit up Los Junior's... let me tell you, there are many mediocre Mexican places in this county, but Los Junior's knocks it OUT OF THE PARK. It looks super unassuming but I just ate the best enchiladas I have had in months and they came from the lovely lady at the Los Junior's drive through. The kitchen was GLEAMING clean, the food is exceptional, 10/10 A++++ will definitely eat here again.

    Drink food I'd eat even when sober. Los Junior's has a vast menu of burritos, tacos, tortas, and more. I had a vegetarian burrito and it scratched my late-night-meal-itch. The most memorable item of all was my cup of Jamaica. Strong brewed, perfectly sweet. Totally worth it.

    this place is just amazing and has been for the past five years. We were there probably about twice a week. It's the only place I go to where I don't get a stomach ache afterwards. We eat very clean and mostly at home except for this place and a few others, I can usually tell what type of ingredients is businesses use from the way I'm feeling the day after. This place is a gem.

    Stopped in while getting my car serviced near by. And so glad I did! It was about a 5 min walk from the car place. Very good food and a peaceful atmosphere you wouldn't really expect. I had my dogs with me so we sat on the patio that had beautiful succulents surrounding. We ordered a Michelada and a fish taco, both were deleicious! So happy I found this places. Whenever I'm in the area I will be stopping by

    They have a really good carne asada burrito. I thought I'd start with that. It's a cute Mexican food shop that's spacious with indoor & outdoor seating & a drive through. The place is also open late- until 11:45. It's hard to find good Mexican taco shop that's open late & has a drive through. Los Juniors does! Even though it's on the East side of Vista it's worth the drive, glad I was shown this gem. I would definitely recommend this Mexican spot- unless you're looking for an date spot because this isn't that. Happy eating

You enter and there is an awesome salsa bar with many salsas, Mexican carrots and onions, chopped onions, and so much more, Mexican soccer (ok, futbol) on the tube, homemade aguas frescas, and real cooking happening behind the counter. You should be convinced by now that this is the real deal. I beg you: please do not order a bean and cheese burrito here. The adobada burrito is wonderful. It is perfectly-sized and the meat is freshly-cooked, well-seasoned and delicious. I have no doubt every item on the menu tastes great, probably even the bean and cheese burrito. With your burrito, you get two small plastic cups for salsa and a baggie for carrots or peppers or whatever. It is 25 cents for each additional salsa cup, which seems a little steep. But whatever you do, make sure you get the chipotle salsa. It may be the best salsa in history. It is honestly that good. I drove 25 minutes getting there and another 25 minutes getting home in order to try this place out, and there is a taco shop a quarter mile from me that I happily passed. I would make this drive every time.

    Came in for an early dinner and to try this place out. Have heard many things via social media…read more For starters, we got complimentary chips & salsa. The salsa was good IMO, though the rest of the table thought it was too spicy. For drinks we chose a Mexican Candy ($15) and Hibiscus Margarita ($14). They were okay. I think not really worth the price (barely any buzz). I'll probably stick with a beer next time but that's okay. For food, we ordered the Chile Relleno & Cheese Enchilada ($20), Queso Birria Taco Plate ($18) and for me, the Fajita Mixta ($26). Everyone liked their food. For me, I've had better fajitas elsewhere (Mariscos Hualtulco is my fav) but these were still good (except no green bell pepper for some reason). I noticed the *new* menu price for the fajitas was $29 (Mixta), but on the bill it was still $26 (old menu price). So be aware, the new price is coming obviously. I want to try the Molcajete but $38 is a stretch! Atmosphere was okay. It was a Saturday and although it was early, I expected a more vibrant feel, but maybe that comes later in the night. There was plenty of seating. Parking was okay, but the lot was oddly packed however even though the restaurant was not. I would come back to try something else on the menu, but with so many great Mexican options in our area, they need that extra something to attract more patrons. A happy hour with $10 margs for starters would be nice.

    This place is great!…read more Wife and I came out on a date night to this local spot we've been trying to come to for months. It was on a Friday night, the place was packed, and difficult to find a spot to park. The line to order was almost out the door, but still fast to get through, and we were quick to choose what we wanted before struggling to find a spot to sit and talk. After about 15 minutes, our order was ready and we got to enjoy our food. We started with the Carne Asada Nachos, Refried Beans on the side. The meat was flavorful, very tender, and plentiful atop a pile of crisp and fresh tortilla chips. The cheese was nice and salty and the sour cream was warm to the point where it drizzled over it all nicely. All in all, it was a very tasty start to the night. The only two issues I had with it were that the guac was a bit overly pureed, making it kind of runny. And the refried beans had a very sour flavor, making me think that they were over the edge of going spoiled. I had to thank my wife's aversion to eating beans, helping us avoid having them spooned on top, which would have ruined this course. I also had an Al Pastor Taco, Craft Coast Style. The whole it was crisped up well, the cheese forming a great crust on the inside of the taco. The meat was sweetly marinaded, flavorful and delicious. On top of it was a good amount of beans, onions, cilantro, and guacamole, making for a good sized taco without any overflowing. It was pretty damn tasty. So, our first trip out here had more highs than lows, resulting in a very positive initial dinner. I'm sure those beans were just a one-off, at least I hope they were. And there's still hope that the guac may have had too much lime or had been overly mixed this time around. A second trip is definitely in the cards, with more of the family to expand what comes to the table.
