Don Juan Mexican Bar and Grill — Restaurant in Hot Springs

Update 01.19.2022

Either you're open until 9PM or you're not. If you close earlier or stop taking call-in orders 20 mins before 9 then you should change your closing time listed. Also, you never know if this place is going to actually be open at all sometimes.

Update 05.26.2018 I've been back a couple of times since the first time. Today the service was exceptional. The woman who brought my order to me was hospitable and with a smile. As usual, I ordered the Lrg queso dip. It's so good! The price today was $8.45 tax incl.

Ordered the queso cheese dip to-go. The woman that took my order over the phone was very nice, but when I got there the reception wasn't so welcoming from the guys that were at the register. I will say that it was right at closing so just maybe that was all it was. Even though the woman told me on the phone it wasn't an inconvenience. As for the cheese dip, it was good. I ordered the large, it was an ok size (possibly would feed two). Price was $7.65 tax included. 02.07.2018

I will return again another time and will change the rating/review...

Normally they would get a better review because their food is truly good. I called at 12 and ordered just steak fajita meat with a side of veggie and a small queso on the phone to start they told me 25 minutes then hung up the phone. When arriving they had made 2 full sets of fajita one veggie and one steak and then chips and salsa. I was super nice and just explained what the order was supposed to be. They then tell me they have to remake the whole order. I’m in school and can’t wait another 25 minutes. I told the lady if she could see exactly how long it would take and she walked away threw her hands out as if I was bothering her. Then when she comes back she rudely says “it’s going to be a long time” I was shocked because I never have had issues here but this lady was rude for no reason at all. Would’ve got a better review if I would’ve at least got the steak and paid for it but she just took...

3☆ because of the lack of authentic dishes.

Their menu was very generic. Oh they have all of the fan favorites like burritos and such. But I enjoy the more authentic flavors.

The salsa was pureed and had a seasoning I was unfamiliar with. It was almost Italian in flavor. It was good, but again not authentic.

That said I did find they had street tacos. The flavors were surprisingly really good. I was less than enthusiastic because of the menu, but I was delightfully surprised. I ordered 1x carne asada, 1x al pastor, 1x fish taco "I know that's a California thing but I really like them". The seasoning was spot on. The al pastor had pineapple in it that was a nice sweet offset to the spice, and the fish was lite and fresh tasting.

Pros: Roomy, clean, fast service, fair price point, good tacos

Cons: Non-traditional menu,...
