" So disappointed with my visit. The flavor just wasn't there. I had the tamales and I could swear they were microwaved. The ambiance didn't help either; too hectic and loud for a proper dining experience. It will be a while before I consider coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Meh, it was okay. The food wasn’t bad, but it definitely didn’t blow my mind. A good amount of food, but I expected bolder flavors with more spice. The service was fine, but it felt a little disorganized. If you're looking for a quick meal, it's decent, but I wouldn't go out of my way to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a great experience at Juanita's Cafe! The taquitos were amazing and came served with a generous helping of salsa. The service was kind and efficient, making us feel welcomed. The atmosphere was vibrant, filled with happy patrons enjoying their meals. I'll definitely recommend this place to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful experience! The taquitos and carne asada tacos were excellent; you can tell they use fresh ingredients. I appreciated the quick service, although the seating was a bit tight. For the quality of food, I would absolutely come back! A perfect spot for a casual meal with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a chance to visit Juanita's during a busy Saturday - the crowd didn't deter from the quality of the food. My plate was bursting with flavor, and the staff was friendly despite the rush. It felt authentic and was so satisfying. Definitely returning for another meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a pretty good experience there. The food was good, but not as great as I expected. The service was nice, but they forgot part of our order, which took longer to resolve than I would like. The place was well-kept and clean, though, which is a plus. I may give it another shot soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a hidden gem in the heart of Olvera Street! The enchiladas were superb, and their homemade salsa kicks it up a notch. I also enjoyed the atmosphere, which was casual yet welcoming. Service was quick, and the prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes. I left very satisfied and will certainly be back. " (*Curated Review*)
