Eating in Storm Lake
Want to learn where BVU students go out to eat? While campus dining provides tasty, nutritious meals, and Common Grounds features Starbucks specials, students aren’t afraid to venture off campus. We asked our students where they like to go to eat in Storm Lake... and here are just a few of the places they told us about!
La Juanita
Delicious authentic Mexican food
With its affordable menu options, late-night snacks, and daily specials, the restaurant has unarguably become a favored eating spot among BVU students over the years. Open seven days a week, La Juanita has built its reputation on fresh, made-to-order, authentic Mexican food. Top menu items include burritos, tacos, fajitas, chimichangas, quesadillas, and much more.
