" I enjoyed my visit to Don Juan's. The food was tasty and their service was prompt. The setting was perfect for a nice dinner with friends, full of good laughs and chatter. My friend recommended the ceviche, which didn’t disappoint! I’d definitely say it’s worth going again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Don Juan's is a lively cantina filled with energy! I visited with a group of friends and we had a blast. The menu was diverse, offering a blend of traditional and innovative dishes. I had the chiles en nogada which was a delightful surprise! However, my only critique would be that the portions were a bit smaller than expected for the price. Overall, a fantastic dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was a bit disappointing. I had high hopes based on the reviews, but the food was just okay. My enchilada was lukewarm. The highlight was definitely the atmosphere and the friendly service. I'd say it seems like a nice place for drinks, but if you’re looking for excellent food, you may want to try elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having tried many Mexican restaurants, I’d say Don Juan's offers quality worth exploring! We sampled various dishes—each with bold tastes. The cochinita pibil was remarkable; I loved how it was prepared. The staff was forthcoming about the menu, proving helpful in navigating choices! Definitely dollars well spent. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a charming cantina! It’s a cozy setup with lovely decorations, perfect for groups or intimate dining. While my expectations were high for their tacos, I found them to be a bit bland, lacking that authentic kick. The mojito was refreshing, but I’d love to see more spice in their dishes next time I visit. " (*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.
