The Original Creole -Mex Taqueria Since 1997

Opened on Mardi Gras Day, February 7, 1997, Juan’s Flying Burrito began as a hole-in-the-wall, ultra-casual, punk-rock-blaring, wannabe San Francisco Mission District burrito shop. We were never trying to be traditional Mexican — just New Orleans people making burritos our way, blending the flavors, soul, and swagger of our home into our brand of not-very-authentic Mexican food. Our brand was born in New Orleans, Louisiana — shaped by the city, the food, the attitude, and the people.

Born in New Orleans, Juan’s Flying Burrito blends not-very-authentic Mexican food with the flavors, soul, and swagger of our hometown. We serve big burritos, tacos, bowls, salads, quesadillas, fresh salsas, house-made dressings, and a full bar — all with the same all-fresh-food attitude we started with back in 1997.

Fresh Ingredients and Rock-And-Roll Vibes

Fresh Ingredients and Rock-And-Roll Vibes

Step inside and you will find a space blanketed in lively decor and the comforting chaos of rock-and-roll. We prepare a menu of staples like tacos, burritos, and quesadillas using seasonal ingredients. Our salsas and dressings are made from scratch daily, and our corn tortillas are sourced from local partners. We never use frozen items because quality matters to us. Whether you want a quick lunch or a long dinner, our funky atmosphere is ready for you.
