Editorial Review for Juan's Flying Burrito – by Chad Kirtland
The Scene
Juan's thrives on Magazine Street's funkiest block, a mishmash of retro clothiers, boutiques, spas and antique parlors. The tattooed-attitude crowd working at Juan's serves suits to families to gutter punks with equal parts smile and snarl. The music is loud and heavy, the artwork suitably oddball.
The Food
Juan's does things with burritos you wouldn't believe. Overstuffing tortillas with Southwest specialties, fresh veggies and spicy peppers is nothing new, but these wraps rise above. Start with chips and some of the city's best salsa. Build your own burrito in the traditional or super style. Better yet, try a specialty burrito, like jerk chicken, super green or the namesake flying burrito--a gargantuan wrap of steak, chicken, shrimp and fixings. Two sauces accompany everything; both are excellent. Once you've sampled all the wraps, Juan's salads, quesadillas and enchiladas carry on the Mexican cause.

This place is perfect for hanging out and trying your luck with one of their giant burritos. I've never been with a person who could finish a whole one in one sitting. If you live nearby, they're really good for takeout
Pros: Fresh and cheap burritos

There is no such thing as customer service in this place- from the waitstaff to the management. When dining out I at least expect is a casual hello, my drink within 5 minutes, a correct entree order within a reasonable amount of time and a check when I'm done. This is entirely too much to ask for from a server at Juans and forget about speaking to management about rude service and problems with your bill because their attitudes are just as ugly. You can get better service and QUALITY food at several other mexican joints throughout the city.
Pros: Cheap food
Cons: Service, Management, Poor Quality
