El Zarape - Juneau

Real Mexican food!. Best Mexican cuisine in Juneau. Husband and I just discovered this jewel of a restaurant and enjoyed what we believe to be the best, and the most authentic Mexican food in the city.

****! Very good Mexican, considering that it is Alaska and SUPER far from Mexico: Chicken Fajita was really good, hubby had a burrito he really liked. I hope they can get a fleet permit, it sounds like they're trying. That would make the place so much better. YUMMY!!! I'd always eat here.

The Shijizz. Woo HOoo! I love these Mexicans! I never thought basic nachos could be so great.

Carne Asada Tacos. They're so delicious! They're small, double-wrapped, filled with the best carne asada I've had since I lived in San Diego, and topped with diced onions and cilantro. You get a choice of red or green sauce, but I recommend that you get both. I like them both, so I alternate saucing each bite. It's $10 for 3 tacos, so it's pricy but so worth it!

The Best Mexican in Juneau...Period!. Of all of Juneau's Mexican restaurants El Zarape is hands down the best in terms of food quality and authenticity not to mention bang for your buck. Simple, clean and appealing atmosphere at both locations. Everything on the menu is fresh, authentically Mexican, consistently prepared and attractively priced. The Salsas and mole sauce are OUTSTANDING. If you are looking for great Mexican skip the rest (especially The Hat) and head on over to El Zarape. You'll be glad you did.
