Juana Taco reviews
26Amazing food, very friendly staff, personally loved the Birria tacos what a good place to spend some time
Cheap and cheerful! Had dinner here before watching a show at the National Theatre across the road. Pretty legitimate Mexican food - the tacos were really nice, especially the carne asada. No horchata though, that would have been the cherry on top.
Service was quick, staff were friendly and helpful. Affordable drink specials over the weekend
After a couple of previous poor experiences, I decided to give Taco Tuesday a go at Juana Taco.
Knowing walk ins are hardly ever accommodated I booked a table for two inside. I was Immediately shown our reserved table OUTSIDE. Oh well, it's a busy night I guess, however inside remained half empty for the duration of our visit.
We were then explained that the Taco Tuesday special was only available if you selected all one type of Taco, otherwise it was full price.
We opted for stuffed peppers which were underwhelming to start with a lovely tap Pale ale and a smokey Margarita.
We ordered the 6 Taco plate as apparently you can only order tacos in 3 or 6 lots. For a place called Juana Taco, it certainly discourages Taco consumption.
We had the fish, chicken and pork tacos and they were ok. Not good enough to save from the pretentious and poor service and unfriendly atmosphere but ok.
We also had a Taco chips and salsa with Guacamole which lacked spice. We were never offered sauces to add to anything. I saw them stacked on the counter as we left. Must have been for inside guests.
Overall I could only give 2 stars. It's obviously a popular place but this is my third bad night at Juana Taco so I won't be returning. Especially when we have La Cabra and Radio Mexico right nearby.
Randomly found this last minute as I was hungry. Best food, always delicious and served hot. Every time I leave here full, extremely happy and excited to come back again. Staff also turn the already 10/10 experience into 100/10. So friendly, kind, sweet, attentive. Always smiling. This spot is the besttttt the food is seriously so good.
Planned catch up with friends, food took 1.5 hours, then they forgot the tacos. South American waitress who was lovely, but it was her first day and she ended up not putting the order through. Owner swanning around and completely did a coward act. Made the new South American waitress come out and a apologise and wouldn’t come back to our table. Be a leader mate. Take ownership.
