Don Juan mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Austin

I've been going to DJs for almost 10 years now because it's close to my job. And lucky for me it is, because I eat there all the time and tell my friends about it. I only go for the chicken fajitas and my GF likes the gorditas. They just upgraded to more comfortable seating and a chill atmosphere. The staff is also fast and friendly. The food has stayed the same for nearly a decade. Perfect. The salsa is good and full of flavor, too, but not too spicy at all. I am glad business is good for them and they continue to invest back into the restaurant. This place also kept me sane during the pandemic and I am glad they were able to survive the storm. When I dine out, I am a man of casual routine. No surprises at the restaurant for me. Don Juan's has been consistently tasty for years and won't ever break the bank. It's not very crowded at certain times, so if you can push your lunches out a little bit you may have the spot all to yourself. Five out of five stars for me. A true hidden Austin gem I will hope one day...

Overview: Food was great, service was amazing, booths could use some work.

I was hesitant at first because of some other horrible taquerias, but this place was great! Food was 100% authentic and absolutely delicious. I’m a bit white so I order cheese enchiladas, and I’ve gotten used to the tex-mex version of them. But here you get the most homemade style enchiladas you can get outside of your actual house lol. The man serving us was very enthused and very happy to serve us. His english was quite rusty but he was still somewhat able to understand. I did speak to him in spanish though so I dunno. The booth we sat at itself was kinda cramped (and I’m a little 5’3 lady) but it was also free-seating so I’d recommend sitting at the other tables. All in all I’d come here a million times again. But don’t come if you’re too white tbh you won’t like it as...

Food was fantastic! Even though there were a few bugs in the place, the food was too good. One swing at the bugs, though, and they stopped coming by. Maybe they've been trained.

Loved the green salsa. The chips (homemade like everything else) were light and crispy, and they weren't overly salted. The barbacoa wasn't greasy, was tender, and tasted great. The beans weren't too heavy either. Everything in my order was great, which was the two-meat taco option. The flour tortilla loses its softness quick if not covered in its container. Always wondered why those containers were there.

The wait staff was friendly and helpful. Service was quick. However, I was the only table.

The place is pretty old (like all else in this area), but looks well maintained.

Would definitely revisit when I stay...
