I really enjoy the inventive cuisine at Don Juan's. In addition to standard Mexican fare, the chef also creates some very interesting nouvelle cuisine and French-inspired entrees (I believe that the chef apprenticed at Charlie Trotters!). The desserts are always delicious. An excellent restaurant with a casual and friendly atmosphere.

Am looking forward to the REOPENING of this fine local Mexican Restaurant. Since the fire last Nov/Dec it has been sorely missed. Food is good, ample selections and great cocktails. Nice little local restuarant that has made a name for itself in the quiet northwestern part of the city called Edison Park. Once it reopens definately a place not to miss.

I must say that for mexican food, this place was pretty good, espcially being half in the bag trying to hold it down. I do think when I'm out there again for some reason or another I will go there again...

Don Juan's is one of the best Mexican restaurants around. The specials are fantastic!! Not something you would expect to find in a textbook Mexican restaurant. The more traditional Mexican entrees are VERY good, they will substitute or modify your order in any way you like. The wait can be long at times, but it is well worth it.

Food is excelent, in my opinion you cannot find the flavor of the specials in any restaurant over the u.s. Food has the real escence of Mexico. You must be open for new,different, spicy but special flavors.

The specials are fantastic! The atmosphere is very comfortable, the wait staff friendly and efficient. The prices on specials are high for Mexican food but the creativity is far beyond what you usually find when going Mexican.

Don Juan's, for those who care, is overrated and overpriced. Most things on the menu are generic-tasting; the specials can be good but are generally in the $20 range. Not a great find in this fan's opinion.
