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

Simply Amazing

by utnicole123

You couldn't find a better, bigger, faster, tastier taco than at Juan in a Million. This place is such a gem. It gets pretty crowded on the weekends, and I'm sure you can imagine why. It's where authentic breakfast tacos meet hipster east austin, and it's a keeper for sure!

• Pros: CHEAP!! TASTY! Quick, super friendly (u meet Juan!) loads of seating
• Cons: none!

Best Mexican Breakfast this side of the Rio Grande!

by bryantm

Juan in a million truly lives up to it's name. It is a gem of a place right in the "barrio" of Austin off Cesar Chavez street. Each time we visit this city, it is our duty to have breakfast here no matter the time of day. Weekends are elbows to ankles with colleges kids and the like but don't worry, you'll find a seat. Juan will shake your hand like he knows you and make sure of that! We prefer to sit outside and take our time with the spicy salsa & chips. Coffee is excellent and although we try to order something new, we generally can't resist ordering the same thing - Con Queso Breakfast. If you want a true Austin experience in the morning, this is it.

• Pros: Service, Food
• Cons: Parking

Juan Really Shakes Your Hand!

by coconino

I got the feeling that I have come to the right place when I walked into this restaurant. I was so crowded that there were not much place to stand if you are waiting for table! Just when you thought the restaurant is too small to hold the crowd, they have a separate wing with more rooms to sit the guests! Lots of choices to choose from in the menu but as a newbie I tried the DON JUAN. It was GREAT! Great and fast service! Juan shook our hands real hard as we walked out, we will sure come back again!

• Pros: Great and fast food, good salsa!
• Cons: no homemade chips, could be long wait if run out of tables.

I agree... the "Don Juan"

by pinoyvlf

You may approach this place thinking its a slightly shabby Mexican restaurant, but then you see Don Juan's Porsche in the parking long and you start wonder. Honestly, this is the best food to have after a night on 6th (as long as it wasn't too crazy). I bet this place would make a killing if they were open late hours of the night. I have been here over 10 times. and I probably ordered the Don Juan 9 times out of 10. The Don Juan is CHEAP, GOOD, and FILLING! The place can get really crowded for lunch, so try to get there early if you want to get seated faster. And to top it off, you can generally see the proud owner Juan there to greet you with his famous hefty handshake (it almost knocked me off balance once!).

• Pros: Great food for an awesome value in a really chill place!
• Cons: Juan isnt ALWAYS around to shake your hand

"The Don Juan"

by sieon_ah

The name says it all it really is the "Don" of breakfast tacos!

I've been coming to this place since I was a kid! My father brought me and the owner Juan himself still comes out says hellos and is as friendly as ever! About size . One "Don Juan" can make about 3-4 reg. sized tacos!!! Def. worth it.

• Pros: FOOD!
• Cons: crowded on the weekends

Eat at this local favorite for true Mexican flavor with a friendly handshake on the side.

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.

by sevenravens

No need to rob your pockets - Juan in a Million is the spot for good eats at good prices! Have you not tried this little East Austin Gem yet? Get hungry 'cause Juan isn't jokin' 'round! The Don Juan is so large you'll need both hands to hold it and your lap to catch the drippin's so hold on tight for a wild ride! This burrito is breakfast, lunch, AND dinner!! YUM YUM!!!

• Pros: The Don Juan! Great Value
