With its many locations, El Palacio de los Jugos is hispanic food at its purest form. At all its locations, the food tastes as if your hispanic grandmother has made it! It is popular not only for the locals, but it is a very tourist driven eatery because of all its hispanic food choices. This is one place everyone should visit not only for the food but for the exotic culture surrounding it.

‘This is one of my favorite places to eat, I really enjoy the pork and the juices they have to offer. It’s really easy to get to and you’re served quickly so it is a great place to stop when you’re in a hurry and just want to eat,” freshman Andres Hurtado said.

This spot may not be the most diverse, but its artsy atmosphere makes it a local and tourist favorite.
