Juan Jaime’s

Stopped in today for lunch. Very cute clean restaurant. Fast friendly service and really good affordable food. We had the two taco plate with chicken shrimp and Maui Maui.
The shrimp was awesome. Husband liked the fish and chicken as well. Lots of variety of salsas and nice warm chips.
We will certainly be back to try some other dishes. It’s also very close to my work so might be a lunch takeout option for me as well

Amazing place. Great food, awesome Happy hour and manager Brendan is the best!

So good news they are open in Christmas eve. Bad news is guess is that they are open.
Planned on going to Espos but they were closed.
Ended up here. It’s not terrible but let’s be honest it’s absolutely nothing to reccomend.
Ordered margaritas… tasted like they were a mix. For good lords sake it’s a Mexican place. Do those right.
And they are little.
Also ordered the three amigos. Salsa. Guacamole and queso. The only thing I’d eat again is the queso. Delicious! We doctored the quac with the salsa and made it edible. It’s the stuff they buy predone.
Refried beans tasted canned.
Ordered the burrito enchilada style with chicken. Mixed the red and green sauce on top. And cheese sauce on side.
All sauces mixed is a good flavor. Chicken was chewy.
Rice was bland.
Had to ask for waters.
Idk I wouldn’t go again, my boyfriend said he would. But he had a little green today. Not for me.
Service was… there.

This place was delicious. Very good food and amazing happy hour. I’m definitely coming back

Unfortunately I wasn’t impressed… And I really wanted to be! Because it’s so close to where we live– but it wasn’t anything special.
I had the tacos… And they were just «eh» They have a salsa bar… Which sounds cool, but again– it’s not really anything impressive. Service was fine! No problem there. We had a really nice guy serve us–

Our favorite happy hour spot probably because it’s one of the few places that has happy hour until 8pm. Love the chips and salsa with the two taco plates.

So we came to this place and it’s actually really good. Their salsa bar here is small but has amazing tasting salsa. We ordered the nacho Grande with no jalapeños and simple delicious. Very basic like most nachos but yet it wasn’t. The for my dinner I got the tres taco plate with the fillers of grilled shrimp, grilled steak, and mahi mahi with refried beans and rice. Each taco by themselves were simple tasteful. But when you add the lime that they offer. It releases this excellent flavor for each one and made them taste better even though they were great in the beginning. The atmosphere is perfect, amazing music that plays and just awesome. We’ll probably come here for more food and some possibly drinks :)

Great inexpensive Mexican food and awesome selections of tequila! I have been here many times and the food does not disappoint. I like coming here for happy hour because their margaritas are like $ 4 each. They have awesome flavors too.
I recommend the tacos trio or the ensalada. Both are really good.

So glad we found this place. They are open late for us night owls yet still serve GREAT food. Most places that are open late are not very good, but Juan Jaime’s never disappoints. I am absolutely addicted to their refried beans — I am pretty sure they’re made fresh onsite, because they taste so good! My only complaint is that, in my opinion, the food is a bit overpriced (it IS Mexican food — just beans, cheese and tortillas in various combinations lol).
I will still go and recommend this place because the service is consistently fabulous!

Good service. Came here as I’m waiting for my dog to get released from the vet. Cold beers relaxing atmosphere. Only second time would come again if I’m in the area for. some Mexican.

My boyfriend and I were coming back from Tucson and we were feeling some Mexican food. Being non– familiar with the area, I went with this spot because of so many comments of their «happy hour». I really don’t know how this spot is… 4 stars, gotta admit that Unilocal failed me this time :(
Atmosphere: nice and modern, felt kind of like Buffalo Wild Wings with the bar and TVs… Maybe it’s because of the name, I was expecting a more authentic environment. The waitress was fairly attentive and prompt with our water and orders
Food:
+self-​serve salsa bar woo hoo: most of the sauces were decent, not really spicy for my standards
+HH blended margarita was pretty good, it was $ 4 or $ 5 and a little bit of alchy in it
+the warm queso dipping for chips was pretty good!
— so not impressed with everything else…
— dry rice with dry enchiladas and tasteless refried beans
— the «salad» in my bf’s combo was the saddest little salad portion I’ve even seen…
–overpriced for the quality of food we got
I will not come back here for the food. BUT if BWW is so too crowded and you want a nice modern restaurant with a full bar and ooooookay non-​authentic Mexican to watch some sporting events, this might be the place for you!

I guess the only bad thing I could say about this place is that it is not closer to my house. The staff truly cares for every customer, not just the regulars. Both locations are very consistent. Food is always great. Best misters in town. And the choice of salsa is like no other. I met the owner a couple times and he took every word from my mouth to heart. I highly recommend this place.

Love this place. The salsa bar is amazing. The staff is wonderful and the food is great. We drive 20 minutes at lunch just to eat here.

Not impressed. The service was not even mediocre. Do not like the concept in a sit down restaurant that I have to get up for salsa refills even when the chip refills are delivered to the table. I did not care for the food. Salsa was fine, radishes were fresh. Did not like the mahi mahi platter, beans or tortillas.
I would not come back. So many other dining options in the same parking lot.

We have driven by this place a dozen times and finally stopped in. We walked in at 5pm on a Wednesday, the place was empty, but during the hour the place started to fill up quickly.
Tony, the bartender is terrific. Excellent margarita, excellent service. I really liked the salsa, good flavor and not too spicy, and then there is a salsa bar, my husband picked a hot salsa off the bar and he really liked that.
I had a combo, cheese enchilada and steak taco with rice and beans. Defiantly having that taco again, delish. Enchilada was different than I am use to but the flavor was good. Absolutely loved the re-​fried beans. Not usually a fan. Most of the time they are thick and dry but these were creamy and delish. Having those again also. We have been to several Mex .rest. and so far this is the one we have agreed we will return to.
Although I will add, I did not like the guacamole. Not the best

Great happy hour (runs till 8 pm), the food is always excellent. The folks working there are always friendly and prompt.
Try the Halibut burrito, tried it once and I haven’t looked back.
The décor is conducive to having a drink and relaxing.
Watching sports is easy with the 5 or 6 flat screens.
The have a small but robust salsa bar. Some hot stuff on there!
Overall, a great place to relax.

So when I get up on Saturday mornings I make sure my husband has started on the mile-​long honey-​do list I’ve left him, and I shake my finger at him and then say, «No Bud Light until you’re finished with that list, Mister,» and then I pile on a gallon of some Jessica Simpson designer imposter perfume, put on my yoga pants, a push-​up bra, my most over-​priced tank top, and grab my squalling 16-​month-​old to go meet up with my best girl, Traycee, and shop at Nordstrom Rack. We drag my kid, Barrington, all over the store, and he’s screaming the whole way, but really, who cares? Then we head to Juan Jaime’s for half a bottle of tequila and a couple of tortilla chips, and Barrington is still screaming, but again, who cares? I had a great time and jacked the credit card up six– or eight-​hundred dollars. I forget, but I don’t pay the bill so whatever.
Man. There is a whole other world out there, and I’m glad I don’t live in it. But sadly, sometimes I catch the effects of it.
I am so glad we finally tried Juan Jaime’s. Ladena has always been our server, and she is awesome. She makes sure those drinks don’t get empty and is quick with the food and the check as well.
I have a new love. It’s their pomegranate margarita. Delicious! Right now I can’t feel my elbows or my kneecaps and I’m pretty sure I only weigh 110 pounds. That’s a great drink! We’ve also had the street dog lunch special, the carnitas and beef tacos, the nachos, and the cheese enchiladas. Everything is tasty and reasonably priced.
Next time we’ll have to try the patio where we can then be entertained by all the bad drivers on Chandler Blvd. GREAT place!

I have never given a restaurant a 1 star rating. But for the life of me, I couldn’t understand how this establishment was receiving 4 stars with 129 reviews. I mean, the ratings were the only reason I decided to give it a go after all!
Carrying on, if there’s one thing that gets to me, it’s really bad Mexican food. Now, I understand this place in no way advertised that it was down-​home cooking, or anywhere near authentic Mexican cuisine, but for what it advertised on its menu (enchiladas, tacos, tostadas, burritos and the like), I expected at least a Tex-​Mex kinda meal.
Boy was I wrong. It was just horrible. They had removed every aspect of what makes Mexican food Mexican food, and replaced it with what tasted like something you got at a gas station in the middle of no where. The «creamy green» sauce they serve on their burritos and enchiladas (not sure if they serve it on anything else) was hard to swallow with a straight face. It tasted like Campbell’s canned cream of mushroom soup. Their beans and rice, SO incredibly tasteless and somewhat undercooked. And their house salsa I’m pretty dern sure was that disgusting Pace Picante tomato paste you get out of a jar sold at your local supermarket.
I wondered if the waitress knew how horrible the food was… I felt badly lying to her and saying everything was okay when she came around to check on us. Because it most definitely was NOT. But complaining to her about it was not going to fix the bigger problem at hand, which was the food there is simply atrocious.
Moving forward, I will be a bit more hesitant relying on reviews when picking new places to dine at. I have a feeling this place’s 5 star ratings aren’t all that genuine… Be weary fellow my fellow Unilocalers. Be weary.

The BEST crunchy taco shells in scottsdale, idk if they’re housemade or not but I find myself so unsatisfied with other Mexican restaurants because they don’t have the «Juan Jamie’s» taco shells.

I’ve been to Juan Jaime’s several times — both for lunch and happy hour. I like the atmosphere here — it’s relaxed, has an upscale feel to it and they play good music. Later in the evening it can get fairly busy here and the noise level definitely increases. Of course, the tequila probably contributes towards that…
The food is good — nothing super fancy, but quick and simple. At lunch I usually go for the Tacos Trio (chicken), but I’ve also had their burritos and they are also good. They have a great salsa bar with a lot of options. The chips are okay — like someone else on here mentioned they can be greasy at times. I would say I come here more for the happy hour than I actually do for dinner.
The bartenders stay on top of everyone and they have a very nice selection of tequilas. Happy hour prices are competitive and the crowd that hangs out here is pretty social.
The service here is excellent — never had a bad experience. I have to give a shout-​out to Kaitlyn who took good care of us today during lunch. If every place had a server like her, life would be good.
Definitely worth a visit — especially if you are looking to decompress after a long day or want to meet up with friends for a drink or two at the end of the day.
