  Juanita's is one of our go-to spots for a few things. Yes, like most places they excel at a number of things and don't at others, but the dishes we like are the ones they excel at, and you should give this gem a try.
  
  Food: The breakfasts are great here. From omelettes to pancakes to the breakfast burritos, food is made to order and out in decent time. The chili verde omelette is one of my faves - a nice fluffy omelette filled with chili verde (pork stewed in green chili sauce) and topped with sour cream. Rice or beans on the side and tortillas. Yum! Nachos are piled high and crammed with toppings. Bonus: They have a refrigerated salsa bar filled with lots of salsa options.
  
  Cost: The super breakfast special comes with two eggs any style, two pieces of bacon, two sausage, beans or hash browns or country potatoes, two pancakes and an English muffin, toast, or tortillas for $6.99! All before 11am. You can even get three pancakes for $3.99z The chili verde omelette is about $11.99. Decently priced for Sonoma County.
  
  Service: Seat yourselves and you're usually greeted when you enter and leave. Staff are friendly. Drinks are refilled in good time food comes out reasonably quickly. There are times when they get slammed and things slow down, but that's standard for most restaurants.
  
  Overall: They have their own parking lot. An ADA accessible lot and entrance, and a small outdoor patio. Cards and cash are accepted.

  Stopped in for breakfast to finally check out Juanita's.  The place was very busy and we were greeted instantly.  Now, I have to say that I have driven by this restaurant for years and was never drawn in.  The brightly colored building with the "specials" signs for tacos or breakfasts was now just too much to pass by any longer!
  
  The food here is good and plentiful.  As much as I wanted to actually try my usual combo plate order, since it was breakfast time, I opted for Huevos Rancheros.  This is an OK dish, however not my favorite, but I think that was because although I ordered "over medium" eggs, they were definately "sunny side up" when served to me.  It comes with your choice of a side of either, rice, beans, or toast.  I opted for black beans which were very good.  
  
  Don't skip the salsa bar!  Their salsa choices are amazing and all delicious, plus pickled onions and radishes too.
  
  As I watched all the beautiful plates of food come by, I vowed to come back and try my other favorite Mexican combo plates next time.  And based on how much my hubby liked his breakfast, I know we will be back!

  It's a rather chilly October Friday 9:15am.  Time for a hot, starchy and filling meal. Juanita's is the ticket.
  
  The room is packed with a lively crowd. The vibe is homey.  The staff are all happy greeters with smiles.
  
  Fellow elite Yelper Barbara S. & I are seated immediately and asked what we want to drink.  Carrot juice for her, big orange juice for me.  We peruse the lengthy menu.  The juices arrive in 4 minutes.  They both are fresh made from real raw carrots and fresh squeezed oranges.  My $6.50 large size is GIANT! (16 ounces). And it's the best pulpy OJ that I've tasted in ages.
  
  Barbara gets the huevos rancheros, I get the chile verde 3 egg omelette.
  I go to the salsa cart near the front door.  Open the stainless steel top to find a dozen great looking salsas and some escabeches.  I take little cups of pico de gallo, pickled onions, fresh radishes, salsa colorado and some super spicy salsa habanero.  All made in house, all are legit.  I taste them all before the food arrives.  Yummy!
  
  The breakfast feast arrives.  Our plates a big & loaded. My pork chile chunks inside the eggs is meaty, flavorful. Barbara says her medium over egg yolks are a little too runny for her liking.  I say that's what the excellent moist corn tortillas are for, to mop up the goodness.
  
  We eat, we talk.  I get full to bursting having again finished my plate down to the porcelain. (I have OCD and never leave food on my plate, a mental conditioning from my chiding parents). Barbara gives up after eating half of her food.  Proclaims that she is stuffed.
  
  Verdict:  This is my first ever visit. It's breakfast.  It's one of the best restaurant morning meals I've eaten in years.  I think that Juanita's is one of my new favorite Mexican semi-dive restaurants in all of Sonoma county.  I plan to return soon.
  
  Total bill for the meal with tax was $38.  A good value.

  I have been visiting Juanita's Mexican Restaurant off and on for a few months now. I have been in for food to go, both breakfast, and lunch. The prices are reasonable, and you get a lot of food.
  
  Breakfast, I've had a few of the breakfast burritos, they are not full of beans and rice. You get a large amount of what ever meat you choose. I enjoy the potato's they put in them.
  
  For lunch, I've had the street tacos with all of the different types of meat. You get tacos overflowing with your meat selection, and can have them add onions, and cilantro. They have different types of salsa to choose from, mild to HOT! I enjoy the hot. They even have a salsa bar, that includes pickled carrots/onions with jalapeños (My favorite).
  
  I normally call my order in, and by the time I get there it's ready. The inside is nice, and the staff is great. I can tell you that the food here, no matter what you get has flavor!
  
  If your in the area, stop in!!!!

  Juanitas delivered some good Mexican food. Their tacos are pretty dang solid. I love how there are 2 size choices, mini, which is like your palm size street taco and regular. $1.25 and $2.99 The pastor was great! I found a few little well done crunchies, like burnt ends. It was tasty and wasnt greasy at all. I enjoyed the fish and shrimp taco too.
  
  My husband ordered nachos. Lemme say this, they have really good thick n crispy chips. Like super bomb chips. They are perfect for nachos. He got them with carne asada. Everything was well proportioned and all of the meat was very flavorful and well seasoned.
  
  Juanitas offers more than Mexican food. They have burgers and also serve breakfast. They have a rockin salsa bar with 5 salsas on it and other good fixins such as radishes, jalepenos and marinated onions. And they even have a juicer to serve you fresh juice.
  
  Being a Santa Rosa native, I started to ask myself, how come I've never been here before? We will most certainly be back to Juanitas. We really enjoyed it.
