San Juan Restaurant and Cantina — Restaurant in Texas

We were in town and have been craving some good Mexican food. This was always our stand by when we lived here, so we didn't think twice about going here, this visit definitely changed that. We ordered the Carne Guisada plate, the San Juan Burrito plate, and a guacamole 🥑. The plated both were cool to the touch and the food was at best warm. My burrito with shrimp was way over cooked and many of the shrimp had shells on them. The Guisada was luke warm but had a good flavor. The guacamole was okay, not the best I've had, not the worst. The rice and beans that came with the dinners were warm but definitely had been cooked early and ran through the microwave. San Juan Burrito w. shrimp - 5/10 Carne Guisada plate - 6/10 Guacamole - 7/10 Service - 8/10 Would I go back, no. The last few times the food has been hit or with one or both of our meals, and that is us trying a...

The food is pretty standard for this area, pretty much the same as every other taqueria! There really is no deviation in the menus except for the name of the establishment! If you spend any time in this area you will come to realize this fact. There is one difference that sets this place apart from all the others and it's a big one!

I have not seen this option on any other restaurants menu and i have been to most of them. This is why i will drive the distance to eat here as opposed to all the other...

For the San Juan Restaurant and Cantina near 35 By-pass and Walmart (fyi it is painted blue now). There is a San Juan (Bar & Grill) near the harbor. Salsa has a good taste just lacking in spiciness. The Texas Plate happened to be the special on this day, I asked the waitress what made it the special and she really didn't know "maybe a dollar off" was the reply. Cost for plate with tax came in just under 11 bucks, well worth it. The "meat & gravy" aka carne guisada was very good, cheese enchiladas were also good, the rice was 'meh', refried beans were okay. Comes with a small scoop of guacamole. Tortillas at no extra charge, flour tortillas look and taste homemade. Plenty of food for the price. Service was friendly and attentive. Although I don't live in AP, I in the area fairly often and...
