I afraid to share this local Mexican food spot, “JUANITAS”, for fear of it growing out of control. The menu is simple traditional Mexican dishes. The prices are phenomenal for the consistency and quality. This is one of the few if only spot the makes their “FIDOES” fresh per order.

Oh man, this place had AMAZING food! Im so glad we stumbled upon it! If you want authentic Mexican food, please visit! This family tin place is a little rough around the edges when it comes to appearance, but it does not affect the food you’ll receive! I had a smothered burrito and rhe best tortilla chips I’ve ever had!
The staff were so nice!

Quaint & unassuming little mexican food restaurant in older downtown area with a small dining room. Excellent homemade tortillas, enchiladas and refried beans. Looked to be family owned and operated. Very fair prices. Nothing fancy but good quality homemade food.

Pictured is the Wednesday special-Navajo Taco and the chicken enchiladas plate. The Navajo Taco was delicious and the chicken in the enchiladas plate was cooked perfectly. Yummy comfort food for a reasonable price. Parking is a bit difficult but this place is definitely worth a stop, especially after visiting the BioPark!

Good business for an American company. I live out of the country because of political reasons, and the quality is impeccable. God help the USA. I know most people never leave the USA, but there is an amazing world out there….it would open your eyes.

When i worked near downtown, this place was my go-to. Hadn’t been there in 5 years. Had the carnitas plus a gordita. Food has not changed. It is still very good. Servers are not to attentive and not very much elbow room but nice little hole in the wall. I’ve missed you.

We decided to try a new place for lunch and this was close by. It’s a small place with a little parking, but what a little treasure! Homemade chips and salsa at your table, the chips still warm in the basket. My BFF said the salsa was “a little zippy”, which means hot in the real world. LOL
He got the chicharrones burrito and I chose the 3 rolled cheese enchilada plate. (red on the side) I didn’t use much of the red since it had great flavor, but had a punch after a moment. To be fair, my spicy tolerance has lowered, so if yours is average, go for it. The beans were delicious as well. The big surprise was the rice. Layers of seasoning flavor this and I liked it. I normally never like the rice, but this was the first good one I’ve had. I got the sense this is yummy “grandma-style” cooking. It’s only open until 2:45pm, but we’ll definitely be back! (I also love those Mexican cokes in the bottle. So much better.)

THE GOOD:
Def super cute, and def had a very “welcome home” vibe. A member of the ABQ Foodies page on facebook described it as “…if you don’t have a Mexican grandma, or she lives too far away, this is your spot.” And she wasn’t wrong, it definitely feels like grandmas kitchen.
As far as the food, I really enjoyed the rice, great flavor and texture. The beans had good flavor but were super runny/thin.
The salsa that came with the chips and salsa for the table had great flavor!
THE REST:
I made the mistake of going during lunch. We waited 15 min for a table and sat elbow to elbow, but I think this adds to the feeling of being in someone’s kitchen. The problem is that lunch is so busy that once our order was taken, we waited on food for 45 minutes.
So maybe go before or after the lunch rush.
I ordered guisado de Bistek Ranchero. The meat was cooked perfectly, tender and juicy. The tomato/Chile Serrano in the bistek added some flavor, but there was no salt/seasoning outside of that. My friend and I split the mole burrito so that we could try the mole sauce, and it definitely did not taste home made. The consistency was off, it was very thin and it tasted very much like canned mole. Again it lacked seasoning/flavor. The most dissapoining part for me was the service. Although the ladies that work here and run the place are very sweet, they only came to our table to take our order and then drop food. That was it. They never returned to check on our table. I had really hoped to ask for corn tortillas to go with my dish, as the plate doesnt come with tortillas. At my abuela’s house, there was always corn tortillas. This was not the case at Juanitas. We did everything to get their attention, short of chasing them into the kitchen, and it just didn’t happen.
Overall, I would go back. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t quite Mexican. I’d say 60% of their food is New Mexican (see all of the Green Chile options and Carne Adovada). And New Mexican food is fine when I’m in the mood for that. But labeling this as Comida Mexicana from the motherland is a bit misleading.
