Casa Juanchos — Restaurant in Chino Hills

The reviews and pictures made us really excited to go and try them out (especially since they were the only taco shop of this style in the area). The prospect of handmade tortillas were especially enticing as we love handmade tortillas for their thicker, meatier consistency in tacos.

Imagine our surprise when sitting next to the tortilla making station was a bag of store bought taco tortillas with additional bags in the backroom racks. It could just be a coincidence that their handmade tortillas happen to look like the store bought ones (in color and perfect circular shape) but I will say we've never had other handmade tortillas crumble apart the way our tacos did.

The food itself was alright. Not the worst we've had but also would have trouble competing if other places set up shop nearby (2 Portrillos, King Taco, Tacos y Mas come to mind). For example, carnitas should be greasy and with a slight crisp from the frying. Ours felt boiled and watery. The Al pastor definitely had strips of onion that you don't get from places that cut directly from the upright rotisserie.

It was especially amusing observing the staff try and figure out which order goes to whom. For whatever reason, all of their receipts print with the same order number so it comes down to the memory of the staff to figure it out. Between approximately 7 orders, they almost gave the wrong food to 5 of them from what I saw.

All in all, fine if you want tacos and are nearby as there's no other options (I did enjoy the crispy tacos) but, in terms of constructive criticism, there are areas that could...

On 01/04/2023 I went to this place with my husband to try it out because my mother kept telling me how good it was. I ordered a carne asada wet burrito with green sauce. Everything seemed good as far as the service. The meat was very good and flavorful. It wasn’t until I got about half way into eating my burrito where things went down hill. I was about to eat a piece of burrito I had on my fork and I happen to look down at it before sticking it in my mouth and noticed something black. I poked it with my finger and noticed it was hard. I pulled it out and behold a Bobby pin was tucked in the burrito. I literally dropped my fork in disbelief. Luckily I didn’t put it in my mouth and choke. The person that worked there name was Esteban! He gave me a refund but that honestly didn’t seem like enough. I’m traumatized now. Probably won’t be eating Mexican food for a long time. I wish I would’ve took a picture. The people that worked there did not seem to concerned about the Bobby pin in my food. Felt like they maybe should’ve done more. I don’t think I’ll be coming back to this place. I’ll be thinking about eating somebody hair or hair clips! WATCH YOUR...

This Place Right Here!! First Time There and let me tell ya!!……I WAS BLOWN AWAY!! Not hyping just speaking Truth! I ordered chilaquiles in red sauce with over easy eggs. A few minutes later a delicious skillet came sizzling to my table with scrumptious chilaquiles in a delicious savory sauce with a light kick to it, a just the right amount of melted cheese blanketed over them and not to mention the beautifully cooked over easy eggs topped off the dish…the chilaquiles were far from soggy and toasted, they had the right amount of texture! I tell ya! There was a Pachanga in my mouth and my heart was smiling! 🤗 Thank You Casa De Juanchos! Best chilaquiles I’ve ever had! ….And don’t get me started on the rice and beans!! Oh my gosh!!! Droolville!! I wonder what I’ll have for lunch!...
