" Though the food was good at Don Juan’s, I think they may be leaning toward a more Americanized take on Mexican flavors. The atmosphere was fun and full of life, and I appreciated getting seated quickly. It might not be my top choice for Mexican food, but it has its merits, especially for casual dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" Don Juan's is a refreshing option for Mexican cuisine in the area! The ambience is trendy yet cozy. The portions were adequate, but I expected a bit more for the price. Regardless, the tacos were tasty, and the service was stellar. It’s definitely a restaurant I would revisit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard wonderful things about Don Juan's, so my expectations were high. While the atmosphere lived up to the hype, the food did not quite hit the mark for me. I tried the shrimp tacos, which were a bit bland compared to other places I’ve tried. The service was solid, so I might revisit in hopes of finding something more flavorful. Overall, decent, but I was hoping for more authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place truly captures the essence of Mexican cuisine! The tacos de pescado I ordered were fresh with a perfect combination of toppings. The cocktails were expertly made, and the complementary chips and salsa were a wonderful start to our meal. The server was knowledgeable about the menu. I’d return in a heartbeat to explore more of their offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having been to many Mexican restaurants, I can say that Don Juan's really stands out, especially for its authentic flavors. The service was friendly and prompt, but there was a slight wait for our food. When it arrived, the shrimp fajitas were sizzling and delicious! The freshness of the ingredients was evident. Great spot for a casual dinner! " (*Curated Review*)

" Don Juan’s has quickly become my favorite spot in town! The staff is welcoming, and the atmosphere is just what we needed for a night out. The food is undoubtedly high quality—the tacos commanding my attention. Plus, the add-on options they offer are a game changer. I recommend grabbing a margarita with anything you order—they are quite strong, which I loved! " (*Curated Review*)

" Don Juan's is a gem! The atmosphere is lively, filled with friendly chatter and the sound of clinking glasses. I ordered guacamole and tacos, which were as close to authentic as I've had outside of Mexico. The flavors were vibrant and fresh. Service was quick, though our server seemed to be having an off day—she forgot one of our drinks. Minor issue aside, it was overall a great experience and I will recommend it to friends.
