There seems to always be a line at Juanita's. |
They have a giant bucket with Mexican carrots and jalapenos, take as much as you want. |
I know, Juanita's has bars on its windows and there's news of occasional fights and mayhem now and then. And yes, I know that in the past Juanita's hasn't always passed the health food grade (can't win them all), but when you want carnitas in North County, is there a better place?
The taco comes with some guacamole and salsa fresca. I squirted some of the tomatillo green sauce on it, too. Look, rolled tacos! Let's see how these are.
The guacamole was a bit runny and not a big fan of cheddar cheese on top, but I do like that they put a scoop of salsa fresca with it. These cost $2.60 with guac.
After the delicious carnitas, the rolled taco was a bit of a letdown. They're not bad, just not as good as Roberto's. So the carnitas is great, the rolled tacos, well, just OK.
FINAL REPORT CARD:
Carnitas Taco: A+
Rolled Tacos: B
Final Grade: A-
