CLOSED / OUT OF BUSINESS. Was fun while it lasted. This restaurant, a Boulder institute for many years, is now closed, as so many other originals.
Juanita's ISN'T the best Mexican food in town. If you want cheap margaritas, go to Juanita's at Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, CO. If you want good food, stay away! After waiting two hours to get seated and get our food, it came out cold and stale. The beef tacos came with cold shredded beef and stale, soggy taco shells. (The waitress was kind enough to ask if I wanted something else, but after such a long wait I declined) My friends ordered the chicken fajitas and the burrito w/ green chile. The chicken in the fajitas was bland and tasteless, and the chile on the burrito was like lumpy gravy, besides it being RED. We did frequent on a Friday night, the first week that Colorado University started back up for the fall semester, but that is no excuse for cold, tasteless food.…
Great Mexican Food. Sometimes the bar area is a little gross, but the food is always great. It is a great place to get together with friends and put $20 in the Juke Box, get drunk, play pool and eat good food.
Worst Mexican Restuarant I have ever eaten at bar none!!!. I've had lots of mediocre Mexican food and some that was excellent but this place serves the worst I have had anywhere ever. I ordered the special soft tacos with pork and it came to the table with small bits of chewy cold pork. I sent it back and ordered beef enchiladas. No luck, the enchiladas had a foul taste to them, sorry to say it, but I think they must be using "Dad's" dog food at this place, awful!!! How they stay in business is beyond my wildest imagining! A friend thought it was a Boulder institution, the tortillas were tasteless, a little like white paste...the side of green chili I ordered had one piece of pork in it, and tasted like it came out of a can (actually it wasn't that good). Maybe the drinks are good? I didn't have one but don't eat here, maybe they will go out of business and a decent eating establishment will fill the space....…
This Mexican joint looks unassuming while it serves as one of Boulder's most hip-without-trying-too-hard bars..
In Short
A healthy mix of the college crowd, the postcollege crowd and the post-postcollege crowd. The menu offers only three types of tacos, but eight different margaritas and 16 tequilas.
Top-shelf tequilas and fresh lime juice are part of what's essential about Juanita's drinks. There are also plenty of tasty under-$5 items to munch on, like the chiles relleno, a la carte chicken or beef tacos, or several vegetarian options.…
