Jugos Azteca

My go to breakfast burrito place. The service is always great and the burritos are delicious. I usually go with pastor, but bacon is also delicious. My only complaint is they used to include avocado and they stopped doing that.

After my last visit, I am never going back here again. Why? Sleazy owner, creepy behavior, false promotions, and uncomfortable atmosphere. The service and policies are shady and uncomfortable. Don’t know what I’m talking about? Take a look at their instagram page and you’ll see the weird, gross, “marketing” strategies that the owner insists on using. The cooks and other staff are always friendly, but the owner is the one who has completely ruined the integrity of the place. On my last visit, on a Wednesday, I noticed that they have a promotion posted outside on their window: a free small agua fresca with the purchase of a burrito every Wednesday. When I walked into the store, I saw they have a giant sign with a QR code advertising a free agua fresca if you follow their Instagram page. I had ordered a burrito, so I asked if I could get a free agua fresca, as their poster outside advertises. The owner said “no, that the promo is only for students”. (The sign doesn’t say this by the way.) I said “okay, I can follow your page instead”. To this, he said “no, you have to make a video and pose for us for the free drink.” Now, if you take a look at his instagram page, you’ll notice the amount of women who he records in suggestive poses. There are even videos from security camera footage of women who seemingly did not consent to being posted. Because of this, I said no to making a video and purchased the drink instead. The owner should take down the posters or clarify the menu. But I suspect this is done on purpose in order to record people for his page. Multiple people on instagram have reported him and commented, but the creepy “marketing” continues.

Definitely dig this spot right here. They not only have flavored drinks like “tamarind” but they have healthy juices to help with hypertension, anemia, digestion troubles and on and on and on! I liked the many options and had a tough time choosing. In the end I took a healthy juice added some ingredients to my liking, and also tried their raspado tamarind flavor. Both were good choices. I recommend this place. Lots of seating good service, good drinks!:)

I ordered the Torta de Jamon, it really hit the spot with their green salsa. Just under 10 bucks I feel it's an amazing price for something so deliciously simple.

So the service here was great at first. Then keep coming back for drinks, then shrimp tostadas and guess what the service isn't great anymore. I've been serviced by regular staff and owner. So todays experience really not great at all. I called to place an order and owner hung up on me. Okay. I drive down there and the owner takes my order and I ask for everything ok there side for my tostada's to go. Common sense, who likes soggy tostadas? I've order my shrimp tostadas 3 times this way before. Anyhow, I didn't notice until I got home that everything was together. So I'm not happy, first because who likes soggy tostadas!!! Second, it looks like there's more veggies than shrimp on my tostadas, which also happened the last time I ordered. I was thinking maybe they where that way because it was the last of it for the Friday special. Anyhow, I take a closer look only one if full and the other has half of the shrimp mix on it. I will add pictures. I ordered 9 tostadas and 2 where place in 4 boxes and where covered by a big chunk of avocado. I also called and spoke to owner and he said I didn't ask for everything on the side and hung up. I think the service for this place is going down hill. Such a shame. I recommended to many, that's why I feel I have to put this review up. If anything just check order before leaving, even if you've gone there many times before. I will stick to just ordering drinks if I go back.

This place is BONKERS! Hidden gem in Highland Park. While in search for a raspado (shaved ice with flavored syrup) and a elote (corn on the cob with mayo, powder cheese, powder chili and mayo) we came across this location. Clean restaurant, friendly staff, and lots of selections(too many, I felt overwhelmed). Can’t wait to go back and try their other items. I must say, service was a bit slow but well WORTH the WAIT. There is sitting inside and outside. If you decide to sit inside, be careful there is a step up. Overall this place is 10 and if you have gotten this far on my review, don’t think twice. I wish the raspado had a bit more syrup but that is just personal preference. Needless to say, this place brought lots of childhood memories. Stop reading this review and get yourself a raspado and a elote! Cheers! Also, I believe they will give you an Agua Fresca if you follow them on Instagram. I have several accounts so they will be seeing me very soon! - @JCZRealEstate

Food was great. It was my first time when I was visiting the area. Torta DF is delicious. Aguas frescas are delicious too, specially the pepino con limon. Staff is friendly. Will go back when I'm up there visiting. No parking so I had to park around the neighborhood and walk for 5 mins or you can pay meter parking.

This place is the real deal and will make your taste buds and tummy happy. Wife and I got the breakfast burritos, one with bacon and the other with chorizo, and both were phenomenal. We also got a cafe Hoya, which was excellent, and a watermelon-mango agua fresca that was mind-blowingly delicious. The food, service, and selection was all amazing. We highly recommend Jugos Azteca.

when i tell you i have ordered the machaca breakfast burrito no less than 10 times, that's probably pretty accurate. if you want the most perfect bite of your life, one that makes you sigh and roll your eyes back- get it. every time i am eating this burrito, i get sad because i don't want it to end- i mourn it before it's actually gone. and then i spend the rest of the day telling anyone i cross paths with, how much they need to try it. thank you jugos azteca for making the best thing i've ever eaten.

No frills, very simple, straightforward menu. They accept card and cash with indoor and outdoor seating. Small and cozy spot. I ordered the Chile relleno torta and added carne asada (it usually comes vegetarian/meatless); and to drink, a lime and cucumber Agua Fresca. Food came out quickly and hot (temperature wise). Carne asada could have been a little more tender but otherwise filled my protein fix. Everything was seasoned very simply and the ingredients tasted fresh. I appreciated the slivers of avocado and toasted bread. The cheese is where it's at with this sandwich and I was pleasantly surprised by the two types prepared :) Agua Fresca was standard and refreshingly tangy and sweet. Parking isn't so bad because it's on the edge of York, and you can always try to find residential parking. Note I came on "small business Saturday" after Thanksgiving 2024 and was much happier supporting this local, legacy business over the hipster restaurants any day. It's also across the street from Mi Vida, which is an also OG storefront.

Located along York Blvd where it meets Avenue 52. Great natural agua frescas, juices, and smoothies. Great customer service too. Their tortas are good especially the chile relleno one and the popular chilaquiles one. The inside is small with 5 tables. There are also tables outside too. They also have other things on their menu worth trying.

Sooo good! Been coming here for years and always get the chile relleno burrito. Highly recommend if you are in the mood for authentic Mexican food.

This spot is located in Highland Park on York and Ave 52. Street Parking is easy to find. It's a small place but they sell a variety of food for breakfast and lunch, and aguas . They got fresh pressed juices and smoothies. I got the #3 with orange/pear/chia seeds , #21.2 with Cancansio (Fatigue) orange/papaya / plátano, Licuado: No.2 plátano/strawberry/oatmeal, and i made my own juice with kale, spinach, ginger, and cucumber. I followed them on Yelp and for a free small Agua : watermelon and mango. The juices and agua were really good. Staff were really nice. There were always people coming in and ordering food to go.

I wanted to review this place because of the great friendly customer service! I went to a place couple doors down and they were so rude! I'm glad each time I come here they greet you with warm customer service. The green juice is fresh and reasonably priced. If you want to get consistent quality and consistent friendly service - this is the place!

I was passing by on a night time walk with my wife and stopped on a Saturday. It was pretty empty at that time and there was no wait to order. My wife was interested in the Mamey smoothie but they were out. We decided on getting the super green juice which was ready almost immediately. The juice was really good and I would definitely recommend it for anyone feeling like picking up a healthy-ish treat for themselves. The service was kind of poor if that bothers you but that wasn't why I was there.

Must go for the tortas and aqua Fresca. Order over the phone and they're quick the aqua Fresca pepino, lemon and Pima are refreshing

Came here with a coworker because he had heard a lot about this place. Couldn't decide what juice to get so i told the man that I love pineapple. He pointed to the juice that's right by the register so I went with that one. It was super refreshing. Not one of them foamy type juices. Really liked it. Liked it so much that I was willing to get another one if we passed by

First time trying the raspados here. Really good, and they make them fast! 10/10 recommend.

Fresh fruit drinks. The owner is very nice. I need to come back and try their tacos and other food items. The agua frescas are so delicious and refreshing after a nice 3 mile walk, or on a hot day, or just because. The fresh pressed juices are amazing. You can choose up to 3 and there are plenty of suggestions on the wall. Anything that ails you there's a recommended juice recipe. Definitely added to my go to list here in LA. Can't wait to get another one.

ROACH INFESTATION!!! This is horrible I ordered juice just a while ago and sat down there to drink and found a roach in my drink. It's has to be the grossest thing I have ever experienced in my entire life. I keep having flash backs right now just thinking about it. In sorry I don't care how good you think you are once a roach is found it's the worst. Calling the health dept immediately to report. And I'm a Nurse working for department of health for LA county. A roach really? Then to top it off they wouldn't exchange or give me money. They simply said no it wasn't a roach as I'm holding the drink. They where rude and uncooperative and wouldn't do anything to make it right. I'm just lost for words right now What's worse ? The roach or the reaction of owner and son and staff. I am never in my life coming here again. This is unbelievable to me. Sorry I didn't take a picture I was so overwhelmed by the experience and owners. Wow. Look you guys have a business and you have bad attitudes either way customers. This blows my mind how rude these owners and staff were when I came to counter to show them My drink and the roach. It just strikes me odd. When customer is complaining you listen you make it right. This kind of attitude will destroy your business. God bless you and I will pray for you. Please read the picture of other reviews. I'm not the only one to find a bug in their drink. Read it yourself. We need to be informed

I just had a torta de carne asada. The meat was very bland, it wasn't marinated. Didn't seem to have any salt or any spices but it did have plenty of meat. It had a couple of small pieces of avocado on one side only. I ended up throwing half of it away.

A neighborhood staple that's been here for years! I hadn't been here in a while but decided to pop in while I was in the neighborhood. I absolutely love the variety their menu offers. There's something for everyone whether you're craving something sweet or tart. I ended up getting a traditional biónico with a classic combo of fruits and yogurt with granola. It really hit the spot and I was able to enjoy it while sitting outside along the sidewalk seating. Perfect for a warm day. Service was quick and friendly!

This is the second time we go only to be told they're closed. It was an hour and a half earlier than listed on Yelp. We point it out to the young man at the counter and he just says "I don't know." We ask well what time do you close? He says if it's slow we close early. We point out they should change their hours as this is the second time this happens but the attitude of the dude said he could care less. Two others walked in after us as well to be turned away. I'll also point out that the guy was just standing there when we walked in. The door was wide open and their signs were still out on the curb. So misleading but their attitude was worse. Ended up going to Huaraches Azteca. We went for aguas frescas but since I'm here might as well point out their food is cheap quality. Like worse than movie theater cheap. Work on your customer service y'all

fresh, large juices at a good price! I stop by after yoga class at highland park yoga and get their green juice (though I request less fruit, more veggies). always fresh and friendly service (especially when I try to order in Spanish for the practice jaja). i have also tried the breakfast burrito which was just ok; I found it a little bland (maybe some meat inside would help). next time I will try the tostadas with mixed seafood, which looked incredible at the table next to me.

3:05 pm ! they didn't want to sell me a juice cashier, said he washed the machine already very disappointed. Good way to start a year you lost a custom.

Pretty good spot! Came here after being completely ignored in the neighboring spot "El Huarache Azteca". They served us almost immediately and the food came out pretty quick (~5 min). I got a shrimp quesadilla and a chia licuado. Overall it was about $18 or so, which isn't bad for the area. I'd recommend a more conventional licuado, the chia one wasn't that worth it. The shrimp quesadilla one was pretty great though. Make sure to ask for a side of their salsa, it really elevated the quesadilla!

I'm happy to see that this place is still around. Definitely a staple in the neighborhood. The tortas are always delicious and the sauce they give with them is addicting. I love how you can create your own juices as well. It's about $20 for a torta and drink which is right in the sweet spot for lunchtime.

I have going to this place for years. I live their food however I took one start away because in their goal to change their menu they have removed some classic Spanish goodies and send you bc away when you ask what happened instead of being nice about the changes. However I will still go but be careful what I am lol. Their quality of food is great.

I love this place, went for a breakfast burrito, it was really good. The menu is extensive, big variety of dishes and juices. Service was excellent, we were greeting by a very nice man. Will be going back and to try other items.

3pm and he didn't want to sell me a juice because he washed the machine already. Good way to start a year. You lost a customer. Very disappointed.

Love this place,we always stop by and get tamales and agua fresca's.Always had good service here and fast too.A gem in the community.

The guy is super hospitable and super nice me and my little daughter enjoyed it I live in Altadena and just happened to be around town I love this place

The tortas are stacked and the price you can beat that! Customer service is good and overall cute little spot

Friendly service, delicious and fresh juices. The owner personally greeted us and took care of us. They have a variety of delicious nostalgic choices. Check them out!

While walking towards and see super green juice it encouraged me to go inside to try it out.. Good place it has different options from juices to food.. economical prices and friendly service.. even enquites was fresh.. small place, but worth it...

Great everything must try if you're in the neighborhood! Fresh juices and authentic food

The employees are ready nice and friendly. The fresh juices are delicious, it's a small hole in the wall type of place but nevertheless the food, munchies and licuados are

I loved their tamales we even bought frozen ones for the home. Sandwiches was perfect too! I wonder if they have a crevice?

Pretty cool spot on York Ave. The breakfast burrito with Machaca was pretty good. The machaca was juicy, a little chewy but good. The overall burrito was balanced that none of the ingredients like the potato,onion or cheese were overpowering one another. I was hoping for a spicier sauce but the chipotle and tomatillo sauce had a good flavor too them. I was also given a Agua Fresca from their daily deals and I have to say the Guava and Orange Fresca was great. It's a affordable, easy to eat, and tasty spot to grab a quick bite for lunch !

I called to let them know I was ordering through DoorDash. Waited 1/2 hour then they said they couldn't make the order. Damn. Third time online order failure. No more.

How do you destroy a breakfast burrito con salchica? Add hot dogs iinstead of the usual grilled Farmer John links. Thanks a lot.

They did not have much of a variety for natural waters everything had a lemon base when I visited. I purchased the es quite and is was meh. The corn was not sweet, and the chili powder tasted old and so did the cojita cheese. I also did not see a city grade placed outside. Parking blows.

Between the fresh juice and delicious food. This place is a Highland Park gem. If you're in the area you need to visit this place

When you first walk in you are greeted by their very friendly staff. We ordered the Cubano Torta and Agua fresca.. it was DELICIOUS!!! We will be returning

It is so good I recommend the torta an the Chile relleno burritos Torta De Milanesa Asada Torta Breakfast Burrito

I love this place whenever I want mexican snacks. I love their esquite but I really wish they used sweet corn instead of the harder corn.

The customer service here is impeccable! I tested the jugo verde and it's on par with a lot of other places. Very good overall!

Awesome! Great service fast efficient. The ambience of the place brings me a good impression of what an ambient place this place is. Good food made with love and compassion.

Perfect spot for a breakfast. Highly recommend. Can't really say much else just trying to make up 85 characters

Still love their shrimp tostadas!!! I don't think they have a Friday special anymore. The berry agua frescas is so good as all their other drinks but that drink is my favorite!

Short and sweet .... BEST WATER EXPERIMENTS EVER!!!! Try their "Aguas Frescas". They mix fruits and come up with the most amazing tasty waters I've ever had. Looking forward on future experiments from this place. BTW - they are NOT greedy with their servings!

Hadn't been in years - always enjoyed their jugos, but tried the elote for the 1st time and WOW - I will definitely be back and staff is always a pleasure :) Thanks for being consistent with the grub and jugo. Their sister restaurant el huarache Azteca is a must as well, so don't be shy and check our their huaraches!

I love this place but. I just called in saying how they didn't give me part of my order and I just arrived home in South Pasadena and I asked if he could confirm if I was charged for the food and if he could just take it off bc I didn't get it. He didn't really make things clear or answer my question. He told me to come in 10 mins but I just wanted to cancel at this point bc I already drove to and from. I know it's not that far but I've been out of the house on the road since 6am. When I go in I don't really want my sandwich anymore... why can't they just refund me?

Great place for a quick bite, call ahead to place an order usually 10-15mins wait on an average busy 20mins. That's why you call ahead !

Delicious fresh juices. Have all the options you can think of. Their tortas and burritos are also delicious.

The tortas here are very good. I did feel the menu was limited. I was looking for something with rice and beans but they do not have combination plates on the menu. I ordered the torta cubano and it was very good. The salsa that they provide with their tortas tastes fresh and has a good kick to it. The juices and coffee are probably my favorite thing on the menu. I've tried a variety of their juices and I think they definitely deserve 5 stars for the juices.

I always frequent this place with my boyfriend whenever we are in highland park. I love getting their juices and their tortas. They legit have the best tortas!!! Service is always so nice, probably one of the best places here
