Located on East Cesar Chavez is a little Mexican place, painted all in pink, called Juan in a Million.

In Short – Booths line walls where authentic Mexican paintings hang next to the tiles. A relaxed crowd that's sick of 30-minute waits at trendier Mexican diners crams into two rooms packed with seating. While free chips and salsa are served with every entree, the chili queso is an appetizer must. Most entrees are served with a side of charro beans on weekdays and refried beans on weekends. The chicken flautas are covered with guacamole and sour cream.

The Don Juan

by themoho

This place is great for breakfast. On most weekend mornings, the owner Juan is there to give you the best handshake of your life. On Saturday and Sunday morning when you are hung over, come here. The Don Juan is heaven in a breakfast taco. It is so much food for so cheap. The hot sauce is great, but be warned it is a little spicy. The queso is great as well.

  • Pros: Great Food, Great Handshake, Great Service
  • Cons: Parking lot has bad layout

Best Barbacoa

by saesa

Leanest and tastiest barbacoa West of the San Antoino River and how more "Texmexican" can you get than that?

Great service, great prices, tons of food served

by ohyeahlach

Took the whole family here and really enjoyed it. Coffee was even great instead of that horribly strong coffee many other places serve. The Don Juan is so massive and at only $3.25 I swear it serves 3 people. Extra tortillas are only .15!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The people there are so very nice, we will return undoubtably.

No air conditioning in the bathrooms (UGH!), and a concern I had was each bathroom/gender shares the sink, so be sure to escort your children to the bathroom. I know my daughter would be freaked out if a man was standing there washing their hands.

  • Pros: Food, coffee, service, value
  • Cons: Location a little sketchy, crowded tables has you rubbing elbows
