Cant eat in and they charge for carrots now
Weren't obviously permitted to eat there...but they & the customers were complying by the 6 ft rule.
I can only speak for the shrimp tacos- quite good- nice size portion
the Food was authentic & yummy & large healthy portions! Got my moneys worth...times TWO! lol
We love Junior's. It is our go to Mexican food restaurant hands down.

this rating is neutral because the food continues to become more and more spicy ....it is confusing as people can always add hot sauce but for the many who don't like hot/spicy food, the meal is destroyed

Junior's has the best Mexican food in Vista. Very friendly staff and quality food. Love Carolina who takes the orders. My husband and I have been coming here for years.
delicious carne asada burrito. hot salsa. I like this place a lot.
It was burritos to go. Very filling. Called order in and it was ready when I got there.

outstanding local legend great staff quality food reasonable prices
very nice local spot good portions and fresh they were very polite with the certificate
They let you take salsa and spiced carrots with your order.
We had special burritos to go. They were excellent.
We ordered the chicken salad. It was a healthy option with a generous amount of chicken.
food, though sometimes too spicy, is always fresh and the service is great!
We get burritos on Sunday morning. They have one named after the high school across the street where my son went.
They are quick. The food is good. Breakfast burritos for Sunday morning.
Great service, carne asada was very flavorful. Love the guacamole! The green sauce is excellent.
Great food and nice employee's
Great food nice fast service.
Food was good but the place needs a face lift
food is always fresh and often delicious. but sometimes MUCH TOO SPICY and CANNOT be eaten. Then we have to throw it out. There is NO consistency.
Their food is very good and enjoy getting food their often.
got the good cook this time...food tasty but NOT spicy hot!
They are absolutely wonderful & so pleasant.
No one smiled at me, staff needs to be more friendly when taking orders
their is one cook who consistently prepares everything to be extremely HOT (Spicy HOT) We dine at Juniors often and love it when any one else is in the kitchen. The food this cook prepares is so Hot we cannot eat it and it has to be thrown out. This is a frequent and reoccurring problem at Juniors, but ONLY when that particular cook is in the kitchen.
always fresh
sometimes the food is excessively spicy HOT depends on who's in the kitchen NOT CONSISTENT
We got take out.
The food is great and service is excellent.
sometimes the food is too spicy and can't be eaten...wish they's adjust this but usually very good
A friendly staff and comfortable feeling to the restaurant.
lovely people working theiralways friendly
Food was fresh, service was courteous.
Their burritos are outstanding - they weigh a pound each full of very good food !!
It's good, but not our favorite taco shop. The guacamole is really watered down and doesn't taste like avocados. They forgot the tortillas for one plate so we had to use our own at home. No menu is posted online or available to view. The hot sauces are good and it was inexpensive.
good food ,,courteous servic
The owner started to tell me how much he is not satisfied with restaurant.com and how he is giving a free burrito. He asked me when I was there before and so on. And then, I left with TWO burritos that I didn't even order! He gave me a completely wrong order! Unbelievable!
Juniors never disappoints. Always delicious.
Their burritos are jam-packed with meat & weigh a ton. Very good food
enjoyed the food. friendliness, cleaness. courtesythanks
GOOD FODDGOOD SERVICEGOOD TIME

Great service from Marco!
Love Junior's food so much. Can't live without it!
Food was fresh and tasty.
Great lunch.
Nice people
Tacos had fresh ingredients including beef, not hamburger, that was superior in taste to any "fast food" chain restaurants I have visited.
Everything was freshly made and fast take out service.
The only reason it was not excellent was that the person behind the counter has twice said we have been in earlier that month and can't use our certificate. We have to argue that we don't live close by and only stop when we visit a friend that lives nearby. We hadn't been into the restaurant for at least 4 months, probably more like 5. He said, no I saw you in here last week! We don't understand. We even suggested that maybe someone looks like my husband. Maybe he should write down our names on a calendar, we're happy to show ID in the future. He didn't belive it wasn't us and after some conversation, he did take the certificate, but it made us feel badly he thinks we are cheating. We know the rule of only using one cert. per month. Food is awesome, generous meat in tacos and burritos and tastes delicious. This one problem is the only problem we have here. Considering not coming back, but they are friendly and great food when I'm in the area and awesome price.
Food was good and served quickly. The dining area was chilly.
We always take out
It's just a little hole in the wall, in which you order and pay up front, so no server. They do have some of the best Mexican food in Vista though, and why we are regulars!
Food was very good but there was no good salsa in my opinion. More like hot sauce than salsa. Hot sauce in a variety of flavors/heat. Plastic silverware (for we were eating in) was so flimsy you could actually bend it. The restaurant was pretty clean though and we enjoyed our time there.
Great service!!
Great tacos and tostada!!
Very best taco shop there is. We just love it.
DELICIOUS, generously portioned and priced right.
Great food as always!
we didn't dine in; took our food to go
juniors is a local favorite the food is always tasty, the value outstanding, portions are decent size and the staff is very friendly
very nice quality, friendly staff and good portions thank you we saw the restaurant.com certificate at the shop when we ate there before... we think it is great without the discount
I went by the place to be sure I could find it, and I'm glad I wasn't ready to eat yet at the time, due to the crowds. When I was hungry for dinner, I returned, and it was much quieter.
The food was fresh and tasted great. The staff was very personable. It was an enjoyable meal.
Place is dirty,
the california burrito it is so gooood.
Very friendly and delicious food at good prices. I don't know how he can put so much meat in a $2.30 taco, but it will keep me coming back!
Great service and good food.
Friendly help, quick service
Nice introduction to a local taco shop
