Juanito’s Mexican Cocina - Mattoon

We were in later on a weekday evening, but there was definitely still a steady flow of customers the entire time for both pick up and dine in. Our server was great. Super efficient, and very quick and friendly correcting an oops on giving me sweet tea instead of unsweet. On that note, even that late in the day, the tea tasted fresh and not made at lunchtime skunky. Our food came quickly and was delicious! We'll definitely be back.Parking: Plenty of parking in the lot around back with a handy, stair free entrance there as well.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. Easy family seating with booths.Wheelchair accessibility: The back lot is gravel, which can be a pain, but the back entrance has no steps or curbs for easy access.

I always like going here when I'm over at Lake Land College. This place has very friendly staff and great authentic food.

I walked away from Juanito's with an upset tummy. BECAUSE I COULDN'T CONTROL MYSELF AND ATE TOO MUCH!!!!Solid interior and decor. BEST SERVICE YET! The staff was so friendly and helpful and was clearly having a good time at work. It seems like the owners treat them right and I hope that's the case. CLEANEST BATHROOMS IN MATTOON. I walked in there an was instantly impressed. Smelled STRONGLY of bleach and floral cleaner. Not a spot to be found. I would have gladly eaten my food in there.Speaking of, without a doubt the best Taco I've had yet. Everything was just how I liked it.Rice and beans were average, but that's not a bad thing.Burrito could have used some more veggies in there and the red sauce was on the sweet side. Not bad, I thought the sauce went well with the beef.Salsa and chips were a cut above to be sure. Just how I like it. A nice tomato paste with soap for seasoning.Overall, this is the best yet. The food I ordered could have been bad and I still would have walked away happy.10/10

Juanito’s has good food with great service, but I can’t help but to think there’s much to be desired in regards to the atmosphere aspect. There’s not much that sets it apart or creates a vibe for the guest.Other than that, I’ve never really had a bad meal here. It’s a good go-to Mexican restaurant here in town outside of the usuals.Drop in for good food at a decent price point.

Good food, quick service, nice atmosphere. I had the enchiladas al pastor and had no complaints. Would eat there again.
