Juanitas Taco Shop

Encinitas · Tacos · $$

Buried between the surf shops and yoga studios on Highway 101, Juanitas has spent nearly five decades perfecting what it does best: carnitas. The family still cooks the same recipe that keeps people coming back - counter service, nonstop takeout orders, portions so generous they practically overflow the wrapper. This isn't a place you'd pick for vibes alone, but the consistency builds generational loyalty.
