"By far, the best authentic Mexican food I have had in at least 25 years. Did our research before coming here on vacation from Montana. It did not disappoint. Bonus, got freshly cooked tamales too"

"Taqueria Juanitos has quickly become one of my all time favorite places in Tucson for great tacos. Their al pastor, carnitas, and especially cabeza meat fillings are worth trying if you have not already done so! The meat is tender and flavorful and the tacos are filled just right to be easy to bite without being too messy. Do not skip the salsas— they bring so much flavor. In addition, I like to order some rice and beans as sides for my tacos and they are great options to add to make it a full meal. Highly recommend Juanitos especially for a take out order. They pack the food well and it travels well, which is not always the case for some tacos."

"This place has the best food, prices and great service. They are extremely professional and I personally observed the cashier handling the money but washed her hands before restocking the utensils. You want great and on a budget...THIS is your place to go!!"

"Consistently just incredible food. Very fast and friendly. Out of so many similar places in Tucson I’ve tried, Juanitos is a notch above its peers without question. They may not have a self-serve salsa bar but I don’t even miss it. On an impulse I took home a bag of tamales that looked good in the counter, and they were the absolute best beef tamales I have ever eaten anywhere. You must eat here."

"I can’t say enough good things about this place, the food is top notch! Best meat, I drive 40 minutes to eat here. Their service is amazing not to mention my 10 year old loves coming here and Kevin is so kind he remembers my kiddo all the time. This place deserves all the business they’re getting. There’s a reason why it’s always packed. Good quality food, affordable prices and they’re generous to say the least! My favorite spot in all Tucson!"

"Great menu. Clean restaurant. Food was good. However the aqua fresco was very watered down. It just tasted like sugar water."

"If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, Taquería Juanitos is the place to go! I ordered the carne asada street tacos, and they were absolutely delicious — perfectly seasoned, tender, and served on fresh corn tortillas with all the classic toppings. The food arrived quickly and was served hot and fresh, just the way it should be. The flavors were spot on, and you can tell they use quality ingredients. The atmosphere felt genuinely authentic, and the service was fast and friendly. Whether you're craving real Mexican street tacos or just looking for a great local spot, I highly recommend checking out Taquería Juanitos. I’ll definitely be back for more!"
