I ordered the El Calentao 26oz bowl for takeout from Foordash, & when I arrived at Juanitos, I also I ordered an arepa con pollo.

I suppose I expected the El Calentao bowl to be filling, which it was, but I didn't really know what to expect in terms of yumminess. It was more flavorful than I could have imagined, & one of the best Latin American dishes I've had since spending a winter in Mexico 3 years ago.

As for the arepa, hands down the best arepa I've ever had. In full transparency, I've only had arepas from two other Montreal restaurants & from an ex-partner who was Colombian & used to make them fresh for us. I also figured when I ordered an arepa, that I'd get an arepa. Well I was wrong... it came with a big avocado sauce on the side & French fries, so that was an unexpected pleasant surprise.

The last thing I want to say about Juanitos is how friendly & warm the young man who took my order. Marco & I spoke at length. He's actually one of the owners & I found him to be genuine & nice. Great meal, great place, great vibes.

We always order the empaniadas. Never disappoints, by now the guy at the counter recognizes us. Sauces are exceptional.

A new favourite spot & recommendation to my friends that are looking for a great & friendly spot in the neighbourhood!

We've been a few times now, no matter our hunger level-everything is comfortably filling if we're really hungry or just right if we're craving a snack. The cheese empanada is my personal favourite with the salsa verde on the side (& you have to try the garlic dipping sauce!). The crunch, quality & temperature of the empanada flavours is 10/10.

The workers are always so kind & friendly, & greet us with such friendly smiles. So happy for their team & always excited to go back! 🥹

On the greasier side but tasty empanadas. At over $5 each they're really overpriced compared to what you find elsewhere in the city. Also tried their El Vegano bowl which didn't have any beans as advertised. It was underwhelming & lacking a sauce & some punch to it.

Juanito's Empanadas CANNOT be beat! Hands down the best! ESPECIALLY with the garlic sauce :p The vegetarian one is my favourite & I'm not even vegetarian.

They hosted an event for my mother's 70th birthday & it exceeded every expectation. Their columbian spin on bowls is exceptional. 100% a must try!

LOVE Juanito's
