After reading many Nextdoor reviews and living around the corner being Labor Day granddaughter and I came back after many years. Don’t have any clue why the family did not go back except we had our favorite spots.
I ordered the wet carne asada burrito with cheese, beans, and sour cream AND w/o onions and cilantro. No problem. Granddaughter ordered chicken and cheese enchilada's with a red sauce adding rice and beans for sides. Both dishes were plentiful and delicious. Both took home half of our meal for later.
As we left, I asked the young lady what was her favorite. She responded chicken enchiladas and offered a suggestion for next time to order the enchiladas with mole sauce. I explained why we had come and that almost all posts on Nextdoor were 100% except for one that loved everything except for the chicken soup as it was missing potatoes.
SUGGESTIONS: if you want a certain sauce or vegetable in or on your dish…just ask for it. That is not a problem for them since everything can be made to order. If you want potatoes in your caldo, just ask for it or you can call ahead and let them know you are coming in. But, if you’re driving by and your car decides to turn into Julianna’s just let them know when you order. All veggies are not precooked, so you can let them know what veggies you are dying for and what to leave out just like I did with cilantro and onions on my green wet burrito.
So, Nextdoor enticed me to go back and we were pleasantly surprised and enjoyed our meal and service. Just a heads up… no chips and salsa. Bummer, but again...
Read moreThink I just found my local go to spot for Mexican food. According to wifey, this is a "Chilango" style food from CDMX. According to me it's just great food.
First off, everything here is super clean, super organized and freshly cooked to order. ( Which, by the way, I feel is the only way to go about ordering food). There's is outdoor seating, the ability to order outside the restaurant, asks ability to order inside as well. Telenovelas is on the TV and the cook/chef/ owner is super cool and charismatic.
On to the food, we ordered a wet carne asada burrito (size of my forearm), an enchilada plate, quesadilla con pollo, 1 taco con papas, 1 taco con pollo, and 1 torta de carne. All for about $30 which I think is a pretty good price for the about of food we got and quality of the food. Food was great, but for my taste the wet sauce for the carne asada was a bit salty, but other than that everything else was excellent!
Highly recommend Julianas because they're local, they're a small business and they're doing things right! Only reason it was a 4 star was because there were no prices on the menu because they're just added up...
Read moreBefore you know it, Knotts Berry Farm and Disney Land will be open now that COVID19 is almost gone. When all the restuarants return to full capacity making it hard to find a good place to eat, chose Juliana's Bakery & Restuarant. The Mexican food was fantastic! My wife and I ordered the enchiladas with red sauce, rice and beans. The portions were more than expected. The red sauce was perfect for me but a little spicy for my wife. The manager/cook behind the bar saw my wife struggling with the red sauce. The manager replaced the red sauced enchiladas with a steak Gordita. The crispy handmade corn crust was the tasty. The steak was a thin match for this perfectly made Gordita. 5 star food and service at Juliana's Bakery...
