| - I give La Casa De Juana five stars because they exceeded my expectations several ways. First, the salsa served with the complimentary chips was very different than the usual blended tomatoes-chilli-onion-cilantro. First, it was very dark in color, very mysterious. Next it was quite spicy. Visitors from back east beware. I think it had some tomatillo in it but I didn't ask what all was in it so as not to spoil the magic. Next, it was taco Tuesday, so I ordered four shredded beef tacos. They were great. In addition to the usual lettuce-tomato-cheese topping, some cubes of cucumber were included. The lettuce was green leaf or romaine too, not the usual iceberg. These were fancier tacos than I've had in more expensive places. Lastly my wife ordered a chicken enchilada in green sauce and a cheese enchilada in red. The green sauce was extremely good and very mild. The red sauce was more mundane, but it's at least as good as the other sit downs in the east valley and better than some. We came in late on a Tuesday and the place had emptied out by then, but our server Karina was still bright and cheerful even at the end of what must have been a long day. If you visit, look forward to the salsa, tacos and green sauce. Definite cut above.
