The most friendly people all through the restaurant and fast service always! The food is made fresh and tastes so wonderful. The drinks are superb. The fresh made tortilla chips and delicious salsa is the best appetizer ever. We always have the owner drop by to make sure we are all happy. He is so nice, friendly, and dedicated to service! Love this place!!
This place is in my neighborhood and I can't say enough good thing about it. Family owned and operated Toni the bartender is off the chain literally lol. Food is great they have good Mole which I enjoy w my chicken enchiladas, drinks by Toni are awesome and the atmosphere is good as well. All staff members are awesome. They do a killer event for 5 de Mayo with show a must see.
Was there Saturday for lunch. Had the ground beef tacos with beans and rice, it was very good, best I've had so far. The salsa is store made and is excellent. I will be going back.
The restaurant was clean and attractive. Our server was friendly, and our chimichanga, beef enchilada, and pork tamale were delicious. If you are looking for California-style Mexican food, keep looking. But, Don Juan is great for Jacksonville Tex-Mex. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Amazing! Been in town a couple months trying different Mexican food. This is by far the BEST I've had in Jacksonville! Very fresh and the salsa is great homemade style with cilantro!
If you're looking for fresh, delicious Mexican food, this is the place to go! Very clean, friendly staff and reasonable prices. The salsa is great with lots of fresh cilantro.
The people are so friendly ! AMAZING staff... Family owned and ran well ! Love the food.. Will be eating there again !
Fabulous! Truly fabulous!
Best Mexican Food in South Mandarin. Our family lives in the south Mandarin area and Don Juan's the perfect location for dining. It's much closer than heading further north to La Nopolera--and honestly, the quality and selection of the food is sooooooooo much better. My husband and I frequent Don Juan's with his sister and brother-in-law and we've never been disappointed with our meals. My husband and I's favorite entrees are the Conchinita Pibil and Carnitas and my sister in-law loves their margaritas (the bartender is super awesome from what she tells me). Everyone in our party usually gets something different for our meal but there has never been a complaint or problem with what we order. Food is always delicious, abundant, hot, and arrives less than 12 minutes (even when it's packed) after we order, and the waitstaff are great without being overbearing.
Pricey, but high quality ingredients. Very good, high end Mexican food. Reminds me of Miguel's @ Coronado island ca.

Toni (the bartender) rocks! Great establishment!. When my wife past away, this is place that makes me think of her and my children. We have been coming to Don Juan's since 2004, before the Don Juan's family moved to their bigger and better location. I have always raised my family to be easy going customers. We never want to ruin someone's day. I just want to have a good time with some great service. Sometimes the waiters would fight to serve us and it makes the whole family laugh. I personally think the secret of Don Juan's and its success, has been their drive to keep up with all aspects of the restaurant business. It is a remarkable place, but it was a small establishment before its big move. God really did bless them. In my opinion, restaurants are like music; people will love a certain band and if they are good, they will have a big following. If they are not good, well, they won't have a following and of course, they will probably hate the successful bands for their success. I really do believe that food is sacred and should not be judged wickedly, but I have nothing but nice things to say about this place. I judge it: Good. As it says in Book of Genesis, all of God's creation throughout the seven days are good. I am a Christian and also a proud Marine. I occasionally drink and one drink at Don Juan's usually gets me drunk. I reason the person below, probably drinks too much because that bar is always full with good clean folks.

Best Mex in Jax. I've been going here since they were in the old location. Great food, service, and bar. This the the cleanest restaurant in Jax. Everything on the menu is delicious. Try it!
Top Spanish/Mexican restaurant I’ve eaten at in jacksonville. I’ve eaten here many times and the food is always hot, fresh, and prompt! I’d give 10 stars if it allowed! Highly recommended you give them a try!
Just had a very good experience at Don Juan’s. The tacos were the best I’ve ever had (we got chicken and beef, both were equally delicious). Our server was Pablo and he was excellent. Also met the owner who was very friendly! Not pictured is other child ordered a cheeseburger and it and the French fries were delicious. We will definitely be coming back!!!
Always my favorite. They do Mexican food right. Friendly wait staff and the entire works. Nice atmosphere. I prefer the weekdays when it's less hustle and bustle. But if crowds are your things - the weekends and happy hour are nice also. 🙂
I had veggie fajitas and they were delicious. My server helped me take the standard chicken fajitas menu item and modify it to make it a vegan meal. I only wish the charge reflected the veggie fajitas vs chicken fajitas. It is a small thing, but would be appreciated. The chips and salsa were OK. The salsa seemed a little bland for me and the chips didn't appear to be freshly homemade especially since I was one of the first tables of the day. The service staff was very friendly and the facilities were very clean.
I would eat there again and recommend it to others.
Food was great, restaurant was very clean, servers were awesome. Great experience. Our dinner party of 9 left happy and full! They allowed us to customize some dishes, and brought everything out promptly. Really great tamales!
Spicy jalapeno margarita is amazing. If you like jalapenos with your meals the jalapenos Toreados are fire. Food is great comes out very fast with good quality
Mexican is one of my favorites… for a quick week night dinner Don Juan’s did not disappoint. Hostess was courteous and quickly seated us. Server was on point and kept drinks and chips full. Food was delivered quickly, fresh and hot. Margarita was pretty tasty too! Lots of seating. Patio area to. Plenty of parking.
Enjoyed our dinners immensely. Served piping hot and delicious. Smiling server and attentive. I’ve had a lot of Mexican food and this is the best in the area and worth it. Stick with Don Juan’s in Jacksonville Florida.
Great service as the server was very attentive to our needs, and knowledgeable as far as the menu.
The restaurant was not very busy. The food came out just on time and plates presentation was impeccable.
What was impressed with is the margarita! It was served in a a glass that is more for water or beer than a margarita glass!
I asked for salt on the rim and on the rocks but it was kind of disappointing as it barely had any salt and it was just table salt.
I noticed that everyone worked as a team but no one was wearing masks!!
I would give it another trial next time I am back here!
This is our “go to” Mexican restaurant. Service is amazing and the atmosphere is wonderful. Along with the ford being the best!!
