"Juanita’s is somewhat of a mini-chain, with locations in Rancho Cucamonga and Ontario as well as a Juanita’s Drive-In in Pomona. The Ontario location is probably the best of the bunch, selling supreme versions of Cal-Mex food on handmade flour tortillas. The chorizo breakfast burrito is the stuff of legend, and the hard-shell tacos come loaded with shredded beef and big handfuls of cheese and lettuce." - Sean Vukan

pretty solid Mexican food spot. Fresh made flour tortillas are great, my daughter loved them! I got 2 hard shell tacos, combo with a side of chips and salsa. The salsa is green, except for the one you put on your tacos. Will return in the future!

Tacos were eh. More lettuce than meat. Potato taco was good. Price was 17+ change for 3 tacos and a large horchata. Small sized tacos too. Not worth the hype.

First time at this establishment and I would highly recommend if you try a new place to ask what comes on the items before you order. We definitely were not expecting our carne asada tacos to come on flour tortillas fully loaded with lettuce, tomatoe, cilantro and shredded cheese.

I saw the TikTok review and couldn't wait to come by especially being led to believe the burritos were packed with meat. WRONG, there was no meat at the top of the burrito, all rice and cheese. Got 1/2 way through and thought I hit pay dirt but nope, it was a chunk of fat. Kept on and finally at the bottom and almost the very end were 3 small chunks of pork...what????? I have to say the Chile verde sauce was chili hot and the meat a little tasty and then poof, it was gone. I'm sorry BUT not worth $12.15 for the burrito, it was mostly tortilla, rice and cheese, a real disappointment SO no need to come back because down the street for a $1 more the burrito is filled with meat and absolutely yummy. I came, tried and know to stick with what I know which is not to return here, too bad, I had high hopes and wanted this to be a new spot.

Juanita's III never disappoints. Their food is always hot, fresh & delicious. I've been coming here for over 30 years & it's been the very same. The tacos, to the burritos with homemade tortillas is SO good. Make sure you ask for the hot sauce, it's on the hotter side but it's also so delicious

I've been coming to Ontario location for yrs, knew Ray. Before that went to the Pomona location. What is going on with the prices!? And my burritos have only been half full. With the prices now, I'll just go sit down at a Mexican restaurant. Very sad to see this change.

Best burrito's in town...homemade rice, beans & tortillas..... what's not to like.... Friendly staff.... Plenty of parking....

Absolutely a rip off. The small tiny tacos are $5.00! This place has gone downhill. I have been coming here for over 30 years and I will NOT be back. $60 for 2 burritos, 4 tacos and 2 drinks. Heck no. The food is bland and flavorless. I will never come back even if they lowered the price. It's the principle. Don't price gouge people. So the owner messaged me and said he had to raise prices because of the wage raise in California. What a joke. $5.00 for a little taco is ridiculous. I hope I am not the only customer you lose.

Stewed tomatoes have no business being in a carne asada burrito. First and last time I come here. The burrito was flavorless and so was the salsa. 2 stars for quick service, but that's it.

I have been coming to this Mexican spot since I was in middle school. The staff are always friendly and considerate. The food itself is always hot and freshly made. It's a small little joint with no indoor seating but they do have some outdoor tables with umbrellas. I usually always get their shredded beef tacos or their loaded nachos! Yummy favorite though will always be the tacos. I also really love their hot sauce!

We arrived hungry and ordered two chili relleno burritos and two tacos. The service was excellent. The food was just okay. Very pricey for a burrito stand The tacos I would give a two. They were not worth the four dollars. The chili relleno burrito was big but tasteless. The location is good and the workers were very nice

The famous Juanita's, from the You show on Netflix! My brother convinced to me to try! Wow not disappointed, Chili Pork burrito - rice beans and cheese. I mean delicious. Highly recommended. The Jamaica was soooooo good. I will come back to try their menudo

Been coming here for 20+ years, I understand rising costs from inflation, etc. but you can at least take a bit more pride or make the food taste the consistent. Complete different taste vs the previous 10yrs. Beef is just bland, chicken taquitos had onions which they never had before. On top of that $44 for 2 beef burritos, 2 orders of taquitos and 2 med cokes. That's restaurant pricing! Med coke alone was close to $4. Hopefully you're able to stay in business but you keep raising prices and making the food bland, not gonna make it much longer.

This Place Is The Most Amazing Place You can go to get Mexican food You should get the quesadilla shredded beef you will love it. The Service is great if you speak English or Spanish they would understand you I promise. The restaurant is small but has seat you can see them at the back of the parking lot but overall it's 5 stars the best.

Yelp
Been a 35 yr long time customer, grew up eating here. I just ate a burrito and it was bland. It definitely has changed over the last few years. I know Ray is no longer here in Ontario but the pricing has gone up and the quality has gone down a bit. Still love the shredded beef tacos and hot sauce!

I discovered Juanita's III on Social media, so I thought I would try it. I drove from Monrovia. The location was an older building, but it was very clean. My daughter and I ordered the Carne Asada burrito with beans. The tortilla was delicious! The carne asada I did not understand. It was mixed in a bland tomato sauce. It is not the price; it is the quality of the food. If you are served food that is out of this world, the price is not an issue. I should have checked the reviews before visiting Juanita's. It has been open for 30 years but only has 400 reviews. Check the reviews; everyone has different tastes, so do not always believe what you see on Social media. I do not think I will visit Juanita's again.

After seeing this place on tik tok my husband picked up some burritos(1 red & 1 green) the burritos were mostly rice with very little chunks of pork & very little sauce inside(they looked nothing like the ones we saw on tik tok of course). The salsa was basically tomato sauce and pepper which was disappointing. The prices were great but unfortunately the food wasn't as good as we thought it would be, we were so disappointed with the food:/

Matt W.

Yelp
Huge price increase... clean the menu up if you're going to charge those prices. Unfortunately won't be back at these prices.

Red Salsa tasted like Tomato sauce and had 0 spice or flavor. We ordered Chile Verde Machos and it had maybe 5 small bite size chunks of "pork" , It was covered with tons of Olives & Jalapeños which doesn't even go with it and took it off. All i could taste was beans and chips and a bit of the chili verde sauce 1/10 The Bean and cheese was okay, tons of extra tortilla and had 0 flavor. 3/10 Sadly I would come again. This place Looks Authentic on the outside but the food is not :/

My wife has been coming here and ordering simply bean & cheese burritos since high school in the late '80s/early '90s. She introduced me to Juanita's 20 years ago or so. I'm not a bean & cheese burrito kind of guy, although my wife also introduced me to Del Taco's green burrito years back and there's just something about those tiny, fake little flavor bombs that I can't resist and not just at 2am. Similarly, my wife convinced me that there's something about Juanita's bean & cheese burritos that make them irresistible. So much so that we mourn when we are in Ontario to see the inlaws and Juanitas is closed on Sundays. So much so that I pulled up Juanita's hours this evening while we're here for a couple of days to find out they were closing in 8 minutes. I told my wife we wouldn't make it but yet again, she was right and we zoomed through the handy drive-thru and ordered 3 bean & cheese burritos for me to have over the next 3 days and an asada bean & cheese burrito for the boy. The service was friendly, attentive and fast. The asada burritos was great (according to the wif & boy) and as usual, the simple bean and cheese burrito was epic. The beans and cheese are cooked and melted perfectly and the insanely delicious (nay, the best I've ever had) homemade tortilla is absolutely a life changer. Portions are large; I eat half a burrito and look forward to the other half at the very next meal. The hot sauce isn't too hot at all and it is unique and delicious. We've also ordered the nachos here in the past and they were incredible too. Now, if only they could be open on Sundays...

Honest review also added to Google Maps. Juanita's Iii is a special place to my family and me. Please read below, and I'll add pics soon. The tacos and encheladas are also delicious. I wish a picture was available, but the food is always enjoyed very fast. My go to is the all pork red burrito and a large horchata. For nearly 40 years (early 80's; I was born in 1980), Juanitas has been an unavailable place. Growing up nearby, my parent's would bring their food home, and no matter how close or far, the food, service, and memories are a home run. Speaking of which, the baseball field on the corner of 4th and Grove is famous for being the main filming location of A League of Their Own.

Today we visited Juanita's 111 on 4th st in Ontario, we hadn't been here for over 2 years. I personally ordered a Chilli Relleno burrito w/ meat (ckn) and a side of tortilla chips. Great meal hands down. Service was quick also, food was ready super fast. It was nice to see that this place is still "The Bomb" Good Job Juanita's !

Love the food I been coming since I was a l Teen my mom use to bring me the only thing I would complain about is they don't put that much meat the one in Pomona is the same an somtimes they are closed when they should be open

Been coming to this place for 30 years now and it is still one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area. Have tried mostly everything on the menu by now. But highly recommended the shredded beef burrito and always ask for extra meat sauce in the burrito. And the nachos with any meat topping or without. It is a large portion so keep in mind the leftovers or sharing. This is a walk up/ drive thru location so if you're expecting to be waited on... you will be waiting a long time haha. But They do have a few outside patio seating and if you can always walk across the street to the park if you want to sit under the trees.

Second time this week. It's hard to pass up. I know the food is always good and consistent. Five stars all the way

tortilla was good but meat tasted like it was just put in tomato sauce or enchilada sauce had no flavor at all first and last time i go

Rob S.

Yelp
5 stars all the way!! I have gone here once a week for the last year and a half. It was my cheat day. I always got the 2 shredded beef tacos, rice and bean and a large Coke.. So delicious and affordable prior to April 1st. I used to pay $14.56 (give or take a few pennies) when I went last week it went up over $17. Such a bummer!! Needless to say I will probably be going once every two weeks now. It is delicious food and the staff are wonderful.

Juantias is a Ontario must. If you grew up in Ontario you know this is the spot. They have fresh delicious food made by hand tortillas. Some of my favorites are the nachos of course, chilie Verde burritos, Carne asada burritos, chili relleno and the potato tacos!! All taste home. The staff is always friendly and service is quick. They do have a walk up ordering area and a out door seating area. They also have a drive thru. Ordering by phone is always an option. This spot never disappoints.

Wow! Seen this place around for quite some time, first time ever having their food. It's really hard to find a solid Mexican spot, but I think I found mine. I was recommended the Chile verde pork burrito and man! It was great. I honestly don't even eat pork, beef is usually my go to but the pork burrito was so good and flavorful, you don't even need the hot sauce even though it's good as well. Aside from the food, the parking lot was easily accessible, the outside dining area was clean, the staff seemed great. Thank you David. Thank you all for the amazing food.

We got a Chile verde burrito and a Chile relleno, both were flavorful. The flour tortillas are soft and delicious! I wish we tried this place sooner, we are definitely coming back!

Excellent Mexican food doesn't have to be complicated! Juanita's nails it! Simple, fresh, tasty without all the mumbo jumbo! Refreshing Orange Whip drink to wash it down and you'll be in Heaven! The Window Staff are extremely nice make you feel at home and appreciated! Definitely coming back! Salud y Gracias!

Juanita's in Ontario is my go-to spot, especially for their shredded beef, beans, rice, and cheese burrito - it's seriously delicious. I've been hooked on this place since high school, and it's become a comforting routine. The folks there are super friendly, and I always make sure to snag an extra salsa; trust me, it's worth it. Juanita's is just one of those places you can't imagine not having in your life. It's pretty amazing!

Bryce G.

Yelp
Friendly staff, Great tasting shredded beef tacos. However, Beans were bland today. I'm Not happy with the tortilla to beans and rice ratio in the burrito. Excess tortilla without doubt. I don't know what the restaurants standards are for filling the burrito. With the amount of tortilla I ripped off, so it wasn't just a "tortilla bite" was alarming. Definitely should add more filling to the burritos. Or use a smaller tortilla. Just some constructive criticism. I will be back.

Today is a sad day. Ordered Original Red MBC... only had three small pieces of meat. Usually it's packed with pork but not today. It was just like eating a bean and cheese burrito. I've been coming to Juanita's since I was 16 and I may not come back again. Pretty sure they are supplementing for the high cost of labor. Really sad. Food is good but I'm not sure it's worth the price anymore. Love their homemade tortillas and Tequitos.

Been coming to juanitas since I was a child. Always been amazing food and a familial feel to the establishment. Highly recommend

Rachel S.

Yelp
Food is always great, I would eat there everyday if I could. It's become too expensive for me to go very often. It's a "treat" place for my granddaughter and I. They are usually very fast and the workers are always nice and the place always looks clean inside.

Dee R.

Yelp
The cashiers were pleasant enough and gave us lots of hot sauce. The prices were average for a taco shop. I am pretty much a veteran taco shopper, so nothing about the ambiance suggested anything other than taco shop to me. It was the food that gets 1 star, and the extra star is for the middle of the road feel of the place. The hot sauce was, essentially, spicy marinara which is SUPER WEIRD. My kids tried some with a quesadilla and confirmed it was basically pizza. I had 2 tacos - awful - with rice (that was pretty good) and bean sludge. The tacos were very small and were, apparently, dropped in the fryer folded in quarters with all the toppings already inside. My kids were happy, but like they drink milk with seltzer. Another taco shop down in our search for the best!

Wow. A co-worker recommended this place so I checked it out. Absolute money! Will definitely be back. Service was concise, quick, friendly-- and the food is great. Nice find in the Bermuda Triangle of restaurants over in that neck of the Ontario woods.

Horrible customer service, they told me they won't make my order because they don't want to have leftovers lol. What?

La Reina P.

Yelp
The food was great as expected, I ordered cheese enchilada plate and beef taco. The cheese enchiladas were made with cheddar/yellow cheese so gooey and delicious, the sauce is tasty the beans and rice taste pretty authentic in my opinion. The taco was lacking some beef but it did compensate in flavor, it was very good. I would recommend this place to anyone. It looks like a hole on the wall and the sign is currently missing but you have to try it if you haven't already , I love the flavors of their dishes and always go back when I'm craving some cheesy enchiladas ....

Stopped by last Saturday for nachos and tacos and was not disappointed. The walk-up window is closed for now and they're only taking drive-thru orders. I had the asada nachos and forgot to say no jalapenos, but was able to remove them myself. The chips were thick and didn't get soggy right away and the salsa and toppings were really good. Also tried a few bits of the taco which was crunchy and pretty good but I prefer the hard tacos from Miguel's by a small margin. Juanita's should be an Ontario landmark if it isn't already.

Hi guys & gals back at juanita's STILL LOVE there all meat & cheese pork burritos the BEST& the carne asada tacos...Been coming here for a LOT of years. Try it you will like it. Life is good.

Love the burritos here, nothing beats a homemade flour tortilla! The nachos are also delicious. They only offer one type of hot sauce, but it's super yummy.

Reyman O.

OMG the tortillas are so freaking good. They have such a great recipe for the red and green chili pork. They use lots of cheese, which makes it amazing we go at least once a week. Luckily we live so close.
