Panama City Beach restaurants are some of the most beloved on the Gulf Coast. You can find anything you may have a craving for, from fresh seafood from the Gulf waters to global flavors from around the world. But if there’s one restaurant you don’t want to miss, it’s Juan Taco. This eatery is a favorite of locals and many guests in our Panama City Beach condo rentals.
Here’s why you should stop by Juan Taco when you’re craving those classic Mexican flavors!
About
Juan Taco in Panama City Beach is nothing short of a local staple. They’re a “modern little taco shop,” as they put it, happy to share authentic Mexican dishes with visitors and locals alike. Not only will you enjoy a great meal, but they also offer live entertainment on special nights, like live music performances or even comedy nights! Whether you’re visiting with family or friends, you’re in for a fun-filled meal.
You can stop in and dine at the restaurant or order online and bring it back to our Panama City Beach condos on Thomas Drive to enjoy with your family. The restaurant is open every day from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Tacos
Of course, with a name like Juan Taco, you know there’s got to be great tacos on the menu! Their Awesome Tacos, as they’re aptly named, are filled with the best meat, cheese, marinated onions, cilantro, and taco sauce. Keep in mind, if you’re ordering to go, this order takes about 30 minutes to prepare. But we promise it’s more than worth it!

Nachos
There’s more than just tacos to be had here, though. What good would a Mexican restaurant be without some amazing nachos? Here, you’ll find much more than your standard plate of nachos. This dish is prepared with top-quality meat and queso, as well as taco sauce, marinated onions, and cilantro. But what truly sets these nachos apart is the goat cheese and garlic hot sauce on top!
Quesadillas
If neither of those options appeals to you, you could go for a delicious quesadilla. You’ll find meat, cheese, taco sauce, marinated onions, and cilantro inside your tortilla. Plus, you get a side of sour cream, so you can control how much you get or leave it off altogether.
