Juanita's - Ely

Come for the food, stay for the company! Family owned business and this married couple knows how to treat their guests! Chile rellenos and pizzas are my favorite so far, so it's great for the whole family.

Went for lunch solely on the Yelp reviews. This is a cute little place that opens at 11am... Went up to the counter and ordered chicken taco and chicken enchilada platter, and hubby got a bean cheese and rice burrito. When asked about sauce we asked for the hottest one and it did NOT disappoint. This food is authentic and absolutely delicious! We were planning on hitting Margaritas for the evening..so it was going to be a double Mexican meal day for us....the other restaurant does not deserve its four star rating..you will see if you look up a separate review on them. Please keep this open..it is so reasonable and just such fantastic food..their beans are just incredible.

I went with my usual choice, the chili relleno burrito. We also sampled the hard shell tacos, churro, rice and beans, and chips with salsa. The food was outstanding. The salsa was incredibly flavorful, and the chili relleno was perfectly prepared, stuffed into the tortilla along with rice, beans, salsa, and cheese. The hard shell tacos, filled with just lettuce, cheese, and ground beef, were so delicious that we ended up ordering a few to take home for later. My advice? Don't go for the atmosphere; go for the food.

**Parking:** We managed to find a spot right on the street right in front. **Service:** Dine-in **Meal type:** Dinner **Price per person:** $10–20 **Food rating:** 4/5 **Service rating:** 5/5 **Atmosphere rating:** 3/5 **Recommended dish:** Chicken Enchilada **Parking space:** Plenty available **Parking options:** Free street parking I highly recommend giving this place a try!

The staff is very friendly, and our food was served promptly at reasonable prices. However, the experience was marred by the unappetizing guacamole we were served. It looked like a gray, crusty mash, and it seemed like it had been sitting out overnight. Unfortunately, it was inedible. I hope you can improve this dish in the future.
