Juquilita Tacos

This place is literally a hole in the wall. But the food is authentic and delicious. Their homemade salsa is just a little heat with sweetness from mangos. The portions are large and the prices are inexpensive. The staff is so nice and warm and welcoming.

Found this on Google Maps and decided to go because it was close to work. I got the 3 taco lunch special. I had chicken tacos and it came with rice, beans, and a drink. The tacos were HUGE, the salsa was delicious, and obviously home made, and the rice and beans were fresh and delicious. I’ll definitely be back!

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant. I live about 30 miles away, but stop in here whenever I am in town. Their burrito has never failed me, and the chips and salsa are just right. This place is a gem.

Great taco joint. Food was served quick and was hot, everything tasted great. Will definately be back.

Delicious authentic and friendly everything you could hope to expect from a little hole in the wall restaurant and more! 10 out of 10 will eat here again… maybe weekly

Food was ok. I’d suggest more seasoning in the shredded chicken tacos. A little bland. Rice was fluffy but also needed something more in terms of flavor. Restaurant was clean and service was excellent. Overall slightly above average.

Basic Mexican food but done well
Guacamole excellent
Shrimp cocktail excellent
Torta excellent
Sangria bottled soft drink yummy
Friendly service
Slow pace

This place has undergone a makeover recently. Looks nicer and cleaner on the inside. There might also be some change in the ownership or management by way of co-​ownership. The owner seemed to have some extra professional help in the kitchen and a regular wait staff.
They had started to slip quite a bit some months ago, but they seem to have tried to come back up again.
We ordered burritos some days ago and all of them were very good. I personally think that the owner (or one of the main cooks named Mario) does the burritos the best. Nicely stuffed with all the advertised ingredients. Always fresh ingredients, haven’t fallen sick after eating from here in a long time now.
Hardworking cooks here. They will take orders and accommodate you even if it close to 9:00 p.m. (closing time). The wait staff is courteous and that is important if you want your customers to return and your business to grow.

Oh NO! NOT JERRY SPRINGER/​Cheaters! I’m not a fan of the daily TV programs. No biggie, as they serve up a very tasty Torta. They can get a surge right at noon, so come early. #TacoTuesday
Chips and fantstic salsa when you dine-​in, above average level of heat. Great chicken tacos. Steak and pork good too. If you want good service, you need to be a regular it seems.

This place makes hands down the best Mexican food I’ve ever eaten. Tonight is my third time here this week, and I don’t do that with almost any restaurant. The owners are super friendly and the ingredients in every dish are among the freshest I have ever tasted. The location may seem discouraging for some (located near the corner of Route 31/​Lake Street and Route 56/​Butterfield Road/​the bridge connecting Aurora and North Aurora), but DO NOT BE DECEIVED. There’s ample parking adjacent on the south side of the bridge (same side of the street as the restaurant) so that’s not an issue. The location is super cozy and has a warm décor, but lacks central air conditioning so summer visits can be a bit on the warm side for some. The servers I’ve had, I believe, are both the owners’ children and do a fine job. The young man is particularly funny as well as dutiful in his job.
The table salsa can range from «delightfully spicy» to «oh my gosh my mouth is on fire but this is too tasty to miss;» the horchata is authentic (not a mix like too many taquerias in the area); the guacamole is creamy and cooling with the right amount of lime; the chicken burritos have more chicken in them than most chicken dinners you get at any given restaurant, and the pastor tacos are the most delicious I’ve had in the United States. Do yourself a favor and stop in.
One warning: when ordering takeout at a dinner rush hour you may be waiting upwards of 40 minutes for 6 tacos and 2 tortas, which would be fine if the girl taking the order on the phone didn’t quote a time of 20 – 25 minutes.
Side note: the owner told me last night bag they offer catering services for weddings/​parties/​any night you don’t want to make your own meal. Their cook will literally make everything on the spot for everyone fresh, not simply buffet-​style. How cool is that?

All Mexican joints in Aurora serve these tiny tacos on 3″ diameter shells. Dont know whats up with that.
But, this place has the best.

So-​so, just had steak tacos, but steak was very fatty and full of grizzle. Rice was decent. The location is TERRIBLE! Probably won’t go back, on to the next Taco joint pleassse!!!

Authentic food… Had the Tacos de Pastor and they were excellent. Kids loved the food, and they are pretty picky especially when dad picks a place to eat. The kids ordered a cup of fresh cut Mangos with Chile and Lemon juice for desert it was fresh and taste so good. If your in North Aurora Choose this place instead of the taco place on Butterfield. Much better and more authentic.

Authentic food. Chips and salsa are home made. Agua de Jamaica (habiscus tea) is not too sweet not too bitter… It’s just delicious.

This is more like a 3.5 rating. The reason it isn’t a 4 is because it took 20 minutes to make 8 tacos and some guac for a take out order. I’ve waited less time at a sit down Mexican restaurant. There were two people waiting for take out orders in front of me. Both ended up going up to the counter to ask how much longer their wait would be. that’s a fairly embarrassing situation.
I will give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe a kitchen guy called out on a Friday night and they were down some hands. No one else has mentioned slow service, so maybe it was a fluke. I would have liked to have the option of calling ahead — that would have been much better, but they didn’t have anything online and there were surprisingly no paper take out menus at the counter for next time. So if the owners read this, my recommendation is to go to kinkos and print a bunch of menus so you don’t have the stress of a bunch of people waiting in the small restaurant.
So the food. The guac was really good. My husband loved it slightly more. I love salty guac and this was not that, so I would have preferred a tiny more salt but then again, that’s me so in no way is there a complaint on the guac. We ordered tacos and a torta. The steak torta was messy, but the meat was well seasoned. The reviews on the el pastor tacos were so high, but I weirdly preferred the chicken. The pastor had almost a grisly texture that I didn’t love. All in all, the tacos were good, and even though they look small, they were very filling.
I will go back because I got a glimpse of their burritos and I need that next — with the guac.

My coworker told me about this place and it’s conveniently around the corner from my job so I try to go at least once a month for lunch. I always feel like I have to be rolled out the door once I’m done. Everything here is so good! I love the fish tacos, shrimp tacos and veggie tacos and my absolute favorite are the chicken flautas. Perfectly seasoned! They just got new booths which makes it even more comfortable and you can bring a nice size group to have lunch or dinner.
If they were open for breakfast, I’d stop there in the morning! Don’t pass this hole in the wall by, stop in and experience them for yourself!

A visual masterpiece with AUTHENTIC Mexican cuisine. Very casual atmosphere that’s entirely fun and a true culture experience. Spectacular value and open to great conversation and a fun filled laughs. Everything is fresh and served to perfection. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.
Pure fun, Fantastic Flavor, wonderful value that will ignite your taste buds.

Nice authentic food, reasonable pricing. Juquilita was great, finally trying different foods and worth the trip there.
Friendly staff as well.

Sometimes you see those small restaurants that look like a hole in the wall so you pass right by. I’ve driven by this place a million times and never gave it a second thought until today. It was a wise choice to stop in. Their food is authentic Mexican and you won’t find better. I only tried their ground beef tacos and guacamole but both were still lingering on my taste buds an hour later. I’ll be back. no doubt about it.
Cheers!

Great little Mexican spot. We tried the steak, chicken and El Pastor tacos, all were delicious. We sampled a few of the tamales including the sweet tamales made with Guava. The staff was friendly and informative about the menu. We’ll be back.
