Pretty excited to have the spot so near us. I have a feeling we're going to be regulars! Tried Don Juan the first time this week and was impressed! Located in the shopping strip with Arbor Markets and Ace Hardware, this restaurant packs more character and energy than I expected for being in a strip. The decor and music make for a fun first impression on just walking in. Menu is extensive and lots of fun things to try! For being our first visit, I wanted to stick to some "classics". I ordered their classic margarita, Tacos Al Pastor, and a Ceviche starter to split. My husband got a Burrito Deluxe. Complimentary chips and salsa dropped on the table with waters shortly after we sat down. Both chips and salsa were tasty! The margarita was huge, and pretty good. Just a touch on the sweet side for me, but not too syrupy sweet or anything. Maybe just a little too much volume. Really enjoyed the ceviche! Had generous chunks of fish, and was fun to eat with our chips basket. Fresh and flavorful. The Tacos Al Pastor were so good!! It came with three tacos, a dipping sauce, and a side of beans and cheese. The meat was very juicy, had great flavor, and complemented with the pineapple, onions, cilantro, and sauce. Beans were tasty too but a lot. Ended up taking most of them home and they went into my lunch the next day. Overall great dining experience, and fair prices for the huge portions. Next time, I'd be interested in trying a chicken mole dish or maybe some of their seafood dishes! Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu.

Ok so the fajitas were so good the chicken melted in my mouth and the taco Tuesday deal was so cool! Our waiter was so nice and they gave my little brother free chocolate milk!! But yeah best Mexican place in Ann Arbor hands down best place to eat in Ann Arbor even!

The chips and salsa were very good and also also the hibiscus water. The place is really nice. I am very glad with my selection to come and have dinner here. I also had the carne asada and it was very tasty. I will definitely come back.

Food was good Ambiance and service extremely nice Prices amazing for Ann Arbor Highly recommend as a family friendly joint as well

4-4.5. I have had a positive experience here, ordering the taquitos special to go a few times. Delicious chicken taquitos. Large portions, which make sense for the price, and easy to pick up from. It seems like a popular local bar as well, and is open late.

We are slowly exploring Mexican restaurants after moving here from Austin, TX, so everywhere we visit is entered into with caution and appropriate expectations. That said, our visit here was a pleasant surprise. There is plenty of seating and we did not wait long to get a table. It was family friendly and there was plenty of parking. The atmosphere was bustling and lively. The tortilla chips were thick and tasty, the salsa was mild for my taste so I asked the server to bring me their spiciest salsa for the meal. The House Margaritas were okay. I am a bit picky about tequila and mixers so next time I will order a margarita with top shelf tequila. I ordered a sampler type dish that had a chulupa, taco, chile relleno, chicken enchilada, and a tamale. It was an immense amount of food but it allowed me to taste many different items. I did take a lot of food home. My favorite was the tamale followed by the chile relleno. The Chili relleno-perfect amount of spice. The texture of all my items was perfect, not soggy or drenched in sauce or cheese. I loved the tamale! It was so flavorful especially with the spicy salsa. My husband loved the chimichangas. He said they were tasty. The beans and rice were authentic. My son ordered the steak fajitas and loved them. He liked that the steak was cut thin so that there were parts that were crispy. My daughter liked the chicken in her quesadilla but did not like the some aspects of the texture. She loved the rice. We will definitely be back!

I am updating my previous review and boosting my rating all the way to the top of the mark with cinco estrellas. Don Juan has long been our go-to for Mexican fare, partly because of its proximity to our home but mostly because of the outstanding quality of its food and service. Today, we ordered a Chicken Enchilada dinner plate and an order of Chicken fajitas for carryout. Both meals were spectacular...prepared with the freshest of veggies and cooked to perfection. The service at Don Juan's, both for dine-in and when ordering carryout, has always been consistently excellent. The waitstaff here is among the quickest of any local eatery to respond to requests for extra salsa or a second margarita. With several tables outside and a festive dining room inside, we're thankful that Don Juan's successfully made it through the pandemic and continues to draw in loyal customers...Cinco estrellas!
