| - As previously stated in other reviews... I love me some Tacos... And as such, I'm always in search for real, authentic flavorful tacos...
I was helping out a friend near this area of town and I was hungry, so I got on Yelp and searched for "tacos".
This place showed up. The whole name caught my eye since here in Vegas you really can't find a decent burrito and I grew up in Juarez, although I really didn't think the name was because of the city... but more of a family last name. I skimmed the reviews and saw the word "barbacoa" and I just had to see if this was for real.
I got there right before closing and was very disappointed that they only sell "barbacoa" on the weekend (I stopped here on a Monday night).
As I walked in, the whole "Ciudad Juarez" came into focus. The guy at the counter was very helpful, nice and friendly. He apologized for not having what I was looking for, so I settled for some carne asada and pastor tacos.
I hadn't noticed that there was a 3rd person in the back. As I talked more and more to the counter guy about Juarez and the food and such, the guy from the back said that they had a bit of leftover barbacoa from the night before. They asked me if I wanted to switch my order and that they'd make me barbacoa tacos instead. I decided that I'd take my original order plus an order of barbacoa.
For a simple to-go order of 8 tacos, the service was slow, but again, I appreciated the fact that they had the barbacoa that I was looking for so I'm letting this slide... for now.
I got my food and brought it home. They wrapped each taco in aluminum foil - a waste of foil if you ask me, as each square can easily hold 3 or 4 tacos of the same food type.
The carne asada tacos were very good. I've had better, even at the Roberto's by my place (although I am a regular at said Roberto's, so they already know what I want and how my order goes), but I can definitely order them again.
The pastor tacos were good. Can't complain too much on these as I love pastor. Flavor was there... but they could've had a bit more meat in them.
Now for the main event... tacos de barbacoa. What can I say about this...
HOLY TOLEDO... FINALLY, REAL BARBACOA IN LAS VEGAS!!! (Is this to subtle???)
The barbacoa was DELICIOUS!!!
A bit on the greasy side, but nothing you can't fix with a couple of napkins.
I have to say that Burritos Juarez has found a new customer. Prices could be a bit cheaper on the tacos since they use small size tortillas but charging Roberto's pricing (and Roberto's uses the larger corn tortillas)
I can definitely recommend this place to anyone and you won't regret it...
--
That being said as my review, I want to add something about this place for people talking about the "Chicos" tacos.
"Chicos Tacos" is a restaurant in El Paso, Texas (and there also used to be one in Juarez by the Parque Borunda if I recall correctly, but that one closed down a while back... I think)
"Chicos Tacos" is an acquired taste; people either love them or hate them. The type/style is basically small flautas (or what people in the US call "taquitos") served in a small paper container similar to the ones used for nachos. They are then drenched/soaked with a broth type soup/watery tomato liquid and topped off with american cheese.
I personally prefer the regular, traditional Mexican flautas with cheese and Mexican style crema (not sour cream).
