Food was great but I had to get up to get anything I needed. The waiter took the order and never returned. Someone else brought out the food and I went and got everything else. They were not busy at all! This was at 2:00...pm on a Wednesday. I don't think the waiter should be waiting tables anymore.More

This was hands down one of the best Mexican Food Restaurants I have ever ate at. The service was awesome and so fast. Prices were amazing for the portions and the food was absolutely delicious. The staff was so friendly and the place was so...clean. Best place we ate at on our entire vacation. We will definitely be back!More

The staff and owner was very nice! The food was not good. Barbacoa was cold and had a lot of nerve on it. The tortillas were not homemade and were store bought. When you cook, you have to take pride in what you make. We...will not go back and eat there. This is not a true Mexican restaurant but that’s my opinion.More

The food was not good, I ordered carne asada, the meat was tuff and little flavor, my partner ordered the same. Service was bad, the place had very customers. I would never go here again. They just wait on busy time of year

Didn’t enjoy my food. Cheese inside the enchilada’s wasn’t melted. Wasn’t very flavorful. My friend had chicken and shrimp and received 3 small shrimp and the chicken was dry and tough. Waiter wasn’t very friendly and the guy at the register was too busy chewing...gum with his mouth open to even speak to us or ask how everything was.More

This was #3 on Trip Advisor so we assumed we were good to go, but this place was underwhelming. It is priced in the middle, but was lower end on the quality. Service is super fast and staff are nice and helpful. I wish the...food was better because the atmosphere is fun and service was good.More

One wouldn't think of a delicious hamburger steak at a Mexican restaurant but Juan's has the best 1 ever topped with grilled green peppers, onions and a melted mexican cheese, My hsbd favorite meal along with the pancake breakfast and the shrimp enchiladas. Great staff...and you are served quickly.More

Spring break 2023 and the weather was terrible so all the usual breakfast places were packed. We were a little leery of breakfast at a Mexican restaurant but we were hungry. We were seated immediately and the server was very attentive. Pancakes were good, as...was my Mexican omelette. I would go back there ( I may have to if the weather doesn’t improve this week!)More

The food was good. And the prices are great. Plenty of seating area and parking. The wait staff was friendly. The menu is typical and includes everything you’d expect. The amount of food we received with our order was actually more than we could finish.

Service was quick and good. My wife and I both had enchiladas of three types and both felt that the meals were just okay. Not bad by any means but would not recommend them.

We loved it. My parents have owned a Mexican restaurant in Vegas for 43 years and my sister owns one as well since 2002. I normally don’t like eating at other Mexican restaurants cause they are never too good but we were pleasantly surprised when...visiting this little gem for dinner tonight. Very reasonable prices and the margaritas actually tasted delish. Lots of tequila which I love. Definitely recommend and will probably go tomorrow for lunch. Great service.More

There is something on their extensive menu for everyone. In years of eating here we have not had a bad meal or experience, wether in house or to go. The food is good, the portions large, the food fresh and the value for the price...extremely reasonable. Wait times in house, or take out, are minimal without sacrificing the quality and taste of the food. Good balanced meals that will fill you without emptying your wallet.More

We picked this restaurant from our GPS. Very lucky we did! From the beginning every single person who worked there. Our server was terrific, chatty and helpful. Our grilled tilapia was delicious and the pinto beans excellent. Altogether a great experience.
