Juanita's Mexican Restaurant in Houston

Juanita's Mexican Restaurant is a family friendly restaurant where the staff treat you like a member of their own family. We are always seated right away wich is such a huge plus in my book. Everyone greets you with a smile and the smell of fresh food hits the nasal palette almost instantly. Thankfully, you are served with delicious chips and a variety of salsas to choose from. If you want green sauce, just ask and BOY oh boy am I glad I did. My husband never likes green sauce and he practically ate a cup all by himself. Luckily they brought me more, so I wouldn't have to battle him for the last scoop. Their menu is HUGE so there is always something for every guest, every diet, and every taste bud. I have become quite the regular, and I haven't even made it close to trying even half the menu. I will say that if you have a big appetite, be sure to order an appetizer and if your appetite is small, order one anyways. Next we move on to the flavors. You can tell that it's made fresh which is a huge bonus f...

Enjoy eating lunch on Saturday with my wife. Every selection on the menu is always great. Very attentive wait staff.

Last night we went to one of our favorite family owned places for old school Tex-Mex, Juanita's Mexican Restaurant - Louetta Rd. It was national fajita day and they came in #2 on Nick's Local Eats Best Northside Fajitas poll. We got their special combo fajitas for two, rice, beans, pico, guacamole with two small house margaritas. Beautifully cooked and charred fajita meat full of flavor. We started with the Appetizer Mixta - Mixed platter of quesadillas, super nachos, empanadas, flautas, guacamole, sour cream, jalapeño slices, pico de gallo and chile con queso for dipping. Fantastic platter of yumminess, especially those empanadas of perfection. I have to tell you it's very hard not to go to Juanita’s without getting my all time favorite cheese enchiladas, but glad we got the appetiizer sampler and fajitas, because everything was delicious as usual. The owner Angel Nuñez is always so friendly and accomadating. Great service and food here, they also have Juanita’s Mexican Kitchen in Cypress. Don't sleep on this place.
