Overall, Juanitos is described as a cozy, welcoming spot offering a vibrant mix of Latin American dishes with standout empanadas, bowls, brunch options, and churros made with fresh ingredients. Reviewers praise the empanadas for their crispy exterior and soft interior, with flavors like cheese, chorizo, beef, and vegetarian, and note delicious sauces such as garlic and salsa verde. The bowls feature diverse country inspired flavors and generous portions, and brunch or delivery experiences are highly praised for reliability and warmth. The service is consistently friendly and attentive, contributing to a homey, inviting atmosphere that many consider a neighborhood favorite. Prices are generally fair, though a few comments mention they can be higher than elsewhere, and occasional menu hiccups such as a vegan bowl missing expected ingredients are noted. Not a Mexican restaurant, it offers Latin American dishes from many countries in a refreshing variety, and the overall impression is one of fresh, delicious food, a warm vibe, and a spot worth returning to.
Not only the service was fantastic. The food was also great. I walked over late not knowing the closing hours they let me in. They took my order & they made me a fantastic meal. I took the Mexican taco bowl & an empanada. They were both fantastic.
The best empanadas I ever tasted, the chicharrón sandwich it was so good the flavours, the sauce, the place is so welcoming & cozy the staff is super friendly, very nice place recommended 100%
C'est endroit n'a que des 5 étoiles & il le mérite amplement. Nous y sommes arrêtés sans avoir prévu & honnêtement quelle surprise. L'endroit n'a pas beaucoup de places assises, mais c'est chaleureux & les employés sont aux petits soins pour s'assurer de votre satisfaction. & que dire de la nourriture, à la fois traditionnelle & moderne. Un délice, vous devez l'essayer.

The best in the biz! So grateful so have these guys in the neighbourhood. Hot, delicious empanadas, & some of my favourite soft drinks. An upgraded space for a very cozy atmosphere. We 🩷 Juanitos!
Honestly so glad to have found this gem of a place!
I've been to a couple countries in South America, & this food taste just as authentic! The owners & chef are super charismatic & welcoming, its always laughs & good times over there. I will be going back, & back, & back again 1000 times for sure.
