      We have been in here many many times and loved it! Yesterday however was horrific. There were 4 tables sat and it looked like they all had their food. Our waiter stood at the door and never went back to check for our food. Over a half hour later ( yes we timed it) he shows up with flaming hot plates with the worst looking food ever. It was obvious that these had been sitting under the heat lamp for a LONG TIME.

      I got chicken enchiladas with red sauce and there was very little meat that was dried out. I wanted red sauce, and if there was any, it was baked on. The tortillas were crunchy and I got black beans even though the menu said refried.

      My husband got the flying enchiladas which is supposed to be 3 different enchiladas ( beef, chicken, shrimp) with a different sauce on each one. The meats were all mixed together with one sauce that was again baked on with dried crunchy tortillas.

      I took mine home (never ended up eating it) and my husband ate part of his. The only reason we didn't say anything is because we couldn't get the waiters attention away from whatever he was playing with at the podium.

      I don't know who to blame more, the waiter that paid no attention to anything, or the cooks that got the orders wrong with bad quality.

      Note:
      I got the response I was expecting
      Be truthful call people out and well-
      Read and see
      Grow up


      Staff need to clean themselves-shower? Comb their hair? Not look like they rolled out of bed? There's grunge then there's just dirty nasty
      Also-
      Staff - Drink less on the job and not delete items when paying someone is paying CASH so they can DOUBLE DIP
      Yea I watched you
      Food was atrocious and the margaritas don't need to be pure cheap tequila to taste good
      Step up your game you've gone very downhill
      Now I'll wait for the owner response-
      Who will berate me for leaving an HONEST review

      Porcha took very good care of us this evening at Juan's Flying Burrito. We walked in at a great time, although all seats were occupied, there was no wait for us. The bartender delivered delicious margaritas, I had the low rider margarita, 10/10. The cooks made wonderful red fish tacos and steak nachos. The ambiance was chill, and service was excellent!

      Super casual and affordable dine in Mexican restaurant located on magazine street.

      I got the luv it bowl, and boy did I love it. It's a veggie heavy bowl, and I definitely needed it after eating for the past few days in New Orleans. A welcome reprieve, for sure. The service was friendly and food came out quick.

      Definitely worth checking out, especially if you're looking for an affordable option in the neighborhood.

      The food is good here, we hung out at the bar. The margaritas was on point. Added mint to mine. . Our servers at the bar were good people. Took care of us, suggested a bunch of things, very welcoming. It's chill ambiance on the Sunday we were in. I enjoyed my shrimp taco suggested by the bartender... if you like spicy add habanero sauce to it. Fire

      Started off with a rocky start. No one up front. Bartender came up and asked if he could help me. When I said I'd like to eat, he said so you'd like a table??? Then brought me to a table and grabbed an empty soda can from the table... hmmm!

      Waitress was nice. Menu looked good, so I tried the Crawfish Enchiladas and a Jerk taco. Food was great! Way better than Aaron's Johnny Sanchez.

      Good ole Juan's! I used to live around the corner from the CBD location and they usually had some
      Good smelling aroma coming from the kitchen! The Magazine st location was right there with them. I had the Hawaii 504 nachos, which is enough for a meal on its own. The service was about what you'd expect, not saying it's bad, but what you'd expect for a chill Mexican restaurant and bar.

      Go check these guys out!

      Juan's Flying Burrito was a recommendation from one of our Uber drivers during our trip to New Orleans. He did such a great job of planting the seed in our heads that it was the first place on our minds when we were out in the Garden District.

      We arrived at Juan's Flying Burrito around 9pm on a Tuesday evening. There weren't too many customers at the time, but there were still folks coming into the restaurant up to closing time.

      Cool vibe of the place. Reminded me of modern taquerias back at home in SF.

      Our server, Sadie, was awesome. She was really personable and attentive. We enjoyed chatting with her and found that she's a Bay Area native as well.

      I thought the food was overall tasty. My fiance and I shared the chips and salsa, a jerk chicken street taco, and the flying burrito.

      Chips and salsa were solid. Nothing unique to point out, but worth noting how fresh they tasted.

      I had half the Flying Burrito and felt full. It was essentially a super burrito but with three types of meats: steak, shrimp, and chicken. I could particularly taste the marinade of the steak, which was so flavorful. I didn't quite notice the chicken, but I knew it was in there due to the texture. I wish there was more pieces of shrimp.

      Although the flying burrito was very good, the jerk chicken street taco was my favorite. The soft taco was heated up, which gave it a nice crispness to it. The jerk chicken seasoning was amazing.
