Love the pupusas here they're delicious. The Staff is normally very friendly and service is quick enough. You're better off paying cash if its less than i believe 10 or else there's a card fee. They have a mini parking lot but theres usually parking on the street available.

Juanitas is the place for authentic Salvadorian food! Everything is pretty amazing. A must try for anyone in the area! Since I'm now vegetarian my new favorite are the bean, cheese and lorocco pupusas! I usually get a side of maduros en crema too I recommend the pork and cheese pupusas, the sopa de marisco (seafood soup), the sopa de rez (beef soup), the Yucatan con chicharon and the tamales for the pork and beef eaters.

I loved it! The food was fresh I could have burned my mouth with the chicken it was so fresh. ( I mean it in a good way) . I’m a picky eater with beans but these beans were better than good. They were delicious. I left the place with a full stomach! The horchata was super good. And Overall 10/10 I would absolutely comeback. the ladies were so sweet. my server, bless her soul!

The food was great, it took a little time because it was made to order but so worth the wait. The food well seasoned, the meat was moist and the fried snapper was amazing. The beef was cooked nicely and was very tender, the fries was crispy but soft inside. The place was clean and the servers were very attentive to us. We went as a family of 7 and all of the food came out at the same time and everything was hot and freshly made.
