Juana La Loca

tl;dr: some amazing food for fair prices. Nice little shots on the house after a meal. Exceptional service.

The decision to rate Juana with five stars wasn’t an easy one, but some factors like the exceptionally friendly service eventually won me over.

If you want to come here on busier days, book well in advance. It gets packed 😄

If you are vegetarian, ask the servers for help picking a dish. There aren’t thaaaat many options and in spain it appears to be common to consider dishes that contain seafood as vegetarian. One of our friends ordered something vegetarian only to find out it contained eel 😂 another friend asked if a dish was vegetarian, got told yes, received a meal with bacon in it. Miscommunication issue, dish was replaced without issue.

My spinach cheddar buñuelos were predominantly cheddar, I would’ve preferred a more balanced spinach mix (less cheddar so the flavor wouldn’t overpower the spinach) but it was good. Our friends artichoke dish takes the crown. Excellent flavor. Bruschettas were very good too.

For dessert I had the dulce de leche lava cake with banana ice cream. Delicious! The white chocolate sablé with red berries was also marvelous. We got offered shots on the house after our meals, and could pick from a variety of options. The red one is the tastiest, while the one which resembles water is dry and strong.

We got lovely service from everyone, with jokes and laughs exchanged. For the quality of the food and wine, I thought prices were quite good. I’d come back.
