La Casa de Juana, a family-owned Mexican restaurant that’s quietly expanding its footprint in the East Valley, will open its third location in Ahwatukee late this year.
The colorful sit-down restaurant debuted on the southeast corner of McClintock and Elliott in south Tempe in 2014.
In 2016, a second location with an expanded menu opened in the former Top Shelf space on Southern, just east of Dobson, in west Mesa.
Now, a third location is in the works in the Fry’s plaza on the southwest corner of 40th Street and Chandler Boulevard in Ahwatukee.
La Casa de Juana’s specialties include Chicken Mole ($12.95), Monster Burritos ($14.95), and build-your-own Fiesta Platters ($7.95-$11.95).
The menu also includes an extensive vegetarian section as well as some American dishes.
