Post #4 - October 16th, 2006, 6:31 pmInteresting timing, I opened LTH to post that I drove past Juanas at 11:30 this morning and the place was cleaned out. Looks like $4.95 pp just won't pay the bills, even at 22nd and Western.I used to think the brain was the most important part of the body. Then I realized who was telling me that.

Post #5 - October 22nd, 2006, 6:06 pmYes, Juana's is closed, permanently from the looks of it. I wouldn't consider it a huge culinary loss but it was real home cooking with a few surprisingly good dishes.
I know Concordia in the heart of La Villita offers (offered?) a lunch buffet. I never tried it and am not sure if it's still available. Call first.
A fairly new restaurant, Merendero San Marcos, currently has a weekday lunch buffet for $6.99 (beer specials on Monday and Wednesday). I haven't eaten there since new owners took over (it used to be La Casa de Don Andres). It's now run by the Gorditas Aquascalientes people so I'm cautiously optimistic about the food.
