" I can't believe I found this hidden gem! The tacos here are absolutely amazing! I had a California burrito loaded with fresh ingredients that made each bite a delight. I really appreciate how they're flexible with their orders, and they have excellent customer service. The only downside was the ambience, but that’s not a dealbreaker considering how great the food is. I’m definitely returning for more tacos soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed the food overall, I experienced a few hiccups with my order. My burrito was slightly overcooked, however the flavor was still decent. The staff were quite friendly and helped me rectify the order quickly. The restaurant has a homey feel, even though it's nestled among industrial buildings. If you're looking for a quick bite without the fluff, this place might just be your go-to. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't emphasize enough how delicious Junior's burritos are. Each burrito I’ve had has been brimming over with fresh ingredients and the flavors are superb. The salsa bar is such a treat, allowing me to find the perfect heat for my tacos. The service is incredibly fast, which I appreciate during my busy days. While the dining area is basic, the quality of food makes it shine. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" Junior's Taco Shop doesn't look like much from the outside, but trust me on this one, the food is out of this world! I tried the fish tacos, and it reminded me of the best taco stands in Baja, California. The fish was perfectly cooked, and the toppings were fresh and zesty. The only downside is the seating is limited, making it a better option for takeout. Definitely my go-to taco spot now! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Junior's Taco Shop based on the reviews, but my experience was a bit of a letdown. While the tacos were generous in size, I found some of them to be lacking in flavor. I had the carnitas taco, and while the meat was tender, it didn’t have the punch I was expecting. The salsa bar was okay, but I’ve had better. The staff were friendly enough, but it felt more of a takeout place with no real ambiance to sit and enjoy the food. I might come back for a breakfast burrito, though. " (*Curated Review*)

" Junior's Taco Shop is my new favorite place for breakfast! Their chilaquiles were amazing—so flavorful and the perfect amount of spice. The portions are very generous for the price. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is casual which makes it a great spot to start the day. I can’t wait to introduce my friends to this place. It’s a new find I definitely recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" The first time I visited Junior's Taco Shop, I was not impressed. The place is kind of small and tucked away, making it hard to find. When I finally tried the food, I found the flavor mediocre at best. However, the service was warm and welcoming, which made up for the disappointing meal. Maybe I should give it a second chance, as I've heard nothing but great things from others. " (*Curated Review*)
