Top notch on everything - Food, Service, and Atmosphere are all incredible at Juana's. Thank you to the family for a wonderful pabellón arepa and an experience I won't forget. Don't skip Juana's while you're in town. Truly a special place.

Our food was eye appealing, served hot, and tasted delicious. The black beans in my arepa were exceptionally well seasoned and very flavorful. Staff was friendly to us and efficient in taking our order and serving our food Cleanliness of the restaurant was noticeable, and we were there near to closing. I recommend Juana’s!

One of the best restaurants in State College - and I tried almost all of them while I was a student! Pabellón arepas are obviously amazing and the tequeños are delicious with the garlic sauce. I make a point to stop here every time I’m back in town!

I just saw the article and send best wishes to you folks. Will be in soon. My concern is the multiple Styrofoam containers. I am guessing you don't have room to wash dishes. My hearty suggestion: stop using Styrofoam (can't be recycled, goes to landfill) and replace with white plastic containers (recyclable, but black are NOT recyclable containers). It is so important. And you'll probably gain customers who feel the same.

Absolutely delicious, great atmosphere and even better smiles from staff. You have got to try this place if you're in the area. Beautiful music that was just load enough to keep conversations more private but without having to raise your voice to hear one another. Thank you for a great lunch experience!

This place will blow your mind. You must get the tequenos. The sauce is to die for.

Tl;dr good restaurant but two stars removed for cost and small restaurant size.I've been to Juana's 2-3 times and think I have a pretty good feel for it now. All of my visits have been take out of some kind, either to bring home and eat or to just eat in the MLK square just outside the restaurant. The actual indoor vibe is ok but it's TINY and better suited for a solo lunch than with a group of friends (as in, there is truly not enough space). The food itself is good but IMO overpriced. I've only had the arepas and they're good, I enjoy them and they're fair sized but the $12-$13 per arepa is kind of a lot for the amount anyway when I could get a plain deli sandwich for half the price and twice the size. But of course that's a different meal experience. I have gone a few times now to support their small business and because it's a convenient little location especially for a quick outdoor meal in the square. The service has always been very nice too. They have lots of menu options but I haven't tried more than arepas because of the cost and my grad student budget discouraged me being too wild with sides or risking it with things I may not like. But if you're in town and looking for a tasty bite to eat and are ok spending a little more for lunch (though still average cost for state college), Juana's is a great place to go!
I have never felt so at home. What a great place. I'm friends with everyone who works there whether they know it or not!

Had to give this place 5 stars, the food is well seasoned and no skimping on the food great quantity. Tucked away in an alley, I highly recommend Juana's
So good. My family went in because we’d never had any of this kind of food and didn’t know what to order. They helped us make some decisions and everything was incredible! Highly recommend.

My family got a variety of arepas for take out and everyone loved what they ordered. I had the Caribeña Arepa - it was absolutely delicious! I found it to be more than enough for a meal and enjoyed leftovers for lunch. I also really enjoyed the Tres en Uno detox cocktail. I highly recommend checking out Juana's!
