Juanita’s is the best spot in town for authentic Mexican cuisine. There is no competition as far as I’m concerned! The salsa is always delicious and flavorful. The skirt steak is well seasoned and the fajitas are absolutely delicious! We know there are many spots in town but my suggestion will always be Juanito’s before all others.
