Don Juan's Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Jefferson

I'm a regular here, and have been to this restaurant at least a hundred times as I live nearby. The servers are always friendly, and even remember my order when I walk in! Very good flavor, and the place is always kept clean. Low prices. I always look forward to eating here. To those of you who left negative reviews claiming that it is not real Mexican food: Remember, it is tex mex! This means it has American influences as well! It's not supposed to be completely the same as traditional Mexican food. My only complaint is that lately the cheese in the enchiladas has not been melted, and I had to ask for it to be heated up more. Also, they sometimes add too many onions. However, this is a recent problem. I think they may have hired a new cook or something. In the past, their food has been perfect. I don't think this is worth deducting a star since this is just a minor problem that has developed just recently. In any case, definitely worth the visit. If you're in Jefferson, be sure to stop by. Also, they have little hard candies on the front desk! Grab one as you're walking out. They're a nice touch to...

Well, we were visiting from out of town and wanted some Mexican food and saw the reviews for here and thought we'd give it a shot. Not impressive at all.

The best thing was the seafood salad I got which, in all fairness, was lacking in the seafood department, there were a whole 3 shrimp and small bits of krab meat in it. The seafood enchiladas I got were disappointing. The shrimp was cooked well, the tails came right off, but they weren't seasoned and the sauce appeared to just be a sour cream sauce from a can.

The biggest disappointment wasn't the food though, it was the wait. It took about 35 minutes to get to the table. Two other couples sat down after us and got their food before us and we only ordered enchiladas, nothing fancy or complicated.

The only reason I'm leaving 2 stars instead of 1 is because of the staff. The gentleman up front that sat us and took our payment was very kind and professional and even apologized to us about the long wait as did our waitress who was on top of our drinks and chips and very on top of things!!

Great work on the front of house! Not so hot...

We stopped for dinner after being on the road for about twelve hours. There was no time to check reviews. We needed to order get our food visit the facilities and head on down the road for another three or four hours.

We were pleasantly surprised by our visit to Don Juan's Mexican restaurant. I had street tacos made with grilled chicken and my partner had a soft taco with cheese sauce, if I recall correctly, and a beef enchilada. The service was especially good, the food was tasty, and the restaurant was well maintained, clean and inviting. I can't say enough about the wait staff who took care of us. Orders were taken promptly, our drinks were topped off when we needed, and our dinner came out quickly.

As with most Mexican restaurants, the food was reasonably priced. It's Google Maps every routes Us by Don ones again we will probably be back. It's about a four-hour drive from where we live in Tulsa oh, so who knows when...
