Unfortunately, my experience at Juan’s Flying Burrito was pretty disappointing. The restaurant was practically empty when I arrived, so there really wasn’t an excuse for some of the things I experienced.
I was seated at the bar, and the bar itself was wet and sticky. There was also liquid leaking from the ceiling/roof onto the bar area, which was concerning. The lemon container was overfilled, and gnats were flying in and out of it. I also noticed gnats flying around the bar in general. There was a bottle of Lysol wipes sitting directly on the bar counter, which didn’t exactly add to the cleanliness or presentation.
Behind the bar, there were numerous dirty glasses sitting in the well and they remained there for most of the time I was there. The sweet tea containers didn’t have timestamps on them either.
The food preparation was another major concern. I watched a cook eating with his bare hands while working around the food, and the cooks were not wearing gloves. One cook had long hair and was not wearing a hairnet, which made me question the cleanliness and food-handling practices. I also saw employees smoking outside and then coming back inside to work with food. These are things I would expect management to take seriously.
When my order was ready, it sat on the counter for approximately six minutes before the bartender eventually grabbed it. Again, the restaurant was not busy at all.
I ordered the Flying Burrito. It was okay, but honestly, it was nowhere near worth the $20 price tag. The chips and salsa were also disappointing. At this price point, I feel chips and salsa should either be complimentary or at least good enough to justify the additional cost. The overall presentation of the food could have been much better as well.
The physical condition of the restaurant could use some serious attention. Many of the chairs were beat up, and the overall appearance felt run-down. The restaurant really seems like it needs renovations and a thorough deep cleaning. The Halloween decorations were actually a nice touch, though.
One positive was Lana, the bartender. She was awesome, respectful, and provided the best part of my experience there. I have no complaints about her service.
As far as the atmosphere goes, I also think the TVs would be better utilized showing a game or something more fitting for a bar/restaurant rather than sitcoms.
Overall, there are some good ideas and potentially good food here, but the cleanliness, food-handling practices, maintenance, and overall presentation need significant improvement. I hope management takes these concerns seriously because several of the issues I witnessed would make me hesitant to return.
