Wow. What a great place. My girlfriend and I discovered this gem of a place the other week. We both had amazing breakfasts. A great place for vegetarians aswell!!! Why we waited for our meals we marveled at all the delicious items they have for sale on the shelves from salsa to spice pastes. We purchased a few and they were delicious.
After our meal we had a great chat to the owner and her daughter who just just the nicest people. We cant wait to come back again. I highly recommend this place
Simply put a fantastic , friendly local eatery.
The tortilla's were fresh and house made and reminded me of my time near the Mexican border. The fillings were delicious and all served at a great price. In short the place is great and my new fave.
Caters to all dietary types and includes West African inspired dishes. Will be back.
Ordered the Vegetarian pack to feed 2 people and it was amazing! Haven’t tasted such fresh tasting no sour cream and loaded with cheese tex mex. Good to know there’s a good decent honest tasting Mexican place close to where I live. Highly recommend.

Awesome! Cosy little restaurant with friendly staff. The potato’s were amazing as were the tostadas, everything tasted really fresh. Great serving sizes at great prices. They don’t have a licence yet so don’t sell alcohol but the ice tea was delicious. Huge range of veggie, vegan and gluten free options too.
Food is a bit bland without the condiments. Otherwise, pretty good.
So delicious, Juanita puts her heart into her food and sauces. My fave is the nachos, can't go passed good nachos! I can't decide which is my favourite sauce but the salsa picante and the tomatillo are delicious!
Food was excellent. Very good home made sauces
I’d been hearing about Juanita’s Kitchen for a little while. A 100% Gluten Free eatery in Preston featuring authentic Mexican cuisine. I finally had the chance to check them out one Saturday with my dad. You can find them at 219 High Street in Preston and enjoy dinner from 6pm til 9pm Wedensday to Sunday or Lunch 11am til 3pm Thursday or Sunday. There is off-street parking available or it is just a short walk from Bell Station or stop 45 on the route 86 tram.
Wow!! What a little find in Preston! We initially wanted to use our Zomato gold butb when we arrived we were told it was their monthly taco night. This meant we didn't use our zomato gold, but it means that we get to return!!
Everything about this place was awesome. It's a very small quaint place but it has such a family feel to it. We had the taco bake and the chicken for the tacos, the tortillas were awesome as was the filings.
The best thing we had was the delicious apple / custard desert both my husband and I agreed that it was one of the best desserts we've ever had. Everything here is gluten free and they cater for vegans as well.
I cannot wait to return, I felt so at home here and nothing was too much for the staff.!

Hubby, bubby and I got there at about 6pm. We had the place to ourselves for a bit! Bubby loved walking around the small but cozy place, discovering little bits and bobs that they had on display. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Juanita came out to say hi! We ordered tacos (beans, pulled pork and chorizo), JK’s quesadillas, mole and the beetroot brownie. The tacos were fantastic! All the toppings were flavourful and tasty, tortillas soft and absolutely fresh! The quesadillas were cheesy and filled to the brim with toppings. Crispy and crunchy, tangy and sweet, spicy and cool... Wonderful contrasts. The mole was amazing! So much flavour in just one dish! Very hearty and earthy. Just like a good warm hug. Even bubby loves it so much he got upset when we slowed him down... Dessert was very unexpected. We thought it was a conventional baked brownie but it doesn’t seem like it. I think it is a gluten free one! I thought it would be not as fudgie but it was anything but fudgie! It was fudgie but light almost like a dense mousse with a nutty bite to it. So good! The food and experience has made it such an impression that we’re looking forward to going back!

I love that everything is made FRESH in Juanita's Kitchen!!
For drinks, we tried the hibiscus ginger iced tea, which was so refreshing and lovely. The chilli hot chocolate was amazing too, perfect for a cold day.
We tried the Eggplant Mole, soooo delish and satisfying. I would definitely recommend you try this dish!
The vegan tacos were all tasty too! I love that they have vegan chorizo available, as well as regular bean tacos.
As for dessert, the salted caramel vegan cheesecake is just TO DIE FOR!!
I would definitely recommend popping in to try some of the amazing menu options here. Or, if you live close by, you can order on Uber Eats!
I came here with a friend one time and the food was delicious. I had the tortilla and the flavours were delicious. They also had sauces of their own on the table which made it taste even better with the food. Price wise it's okay and the quantity was perfect where as my friends plate was quite a big portion to finish on her own. Would come again
Great little find. Loved the homely atmosphere and the staff. Really good vegan options and cocktails. Look forward to going back.
Juanita's Kitchen on High St, Preston is a not to hidden gem of the North. They pride themselves on fresh traditional Mexican cuisine using their own house made salsa's and fresh tortilla. Lots of plant based options. 5 out of 5 Tacos on a Sunday!
Finally found some decent Mexican food in Melbourne! There are so many amazing options & lots of vegan options including vegan chorizo! My only suggestion would be to make the portion sizes a bit larger (because it was so yummy!) & change the hours to be open on evenings & weekends! :)
Expect freshly made hand-pressed tortillas. We ordered the Mexican egg breakfast with vegan chorizo mix, and also Eggplant Mole. They were delicious. :)
Spare of the moment decision..never had Mexican before. Food and service was very good. Will definitely be visiting again.
Had the breakfast bowl. Very yummy and full of variety. A little too much beans though so couldn’t finish it. Would definitely come back to try other things on the menu. Love my Mexican food :)
