This place is a no-nonsense, authentic Mexican Food restaurant; which is quite a few cuts above a trendy “taqueria”. Service is good, atmosphere is great, facility is clean and lit enough to allow their menus to be clearly read and the food is flavorful and the correct temperature at which to be served - that is to say the cool items arrive cool and the hot items arrive hot. Also, the spice levels allow the various menu items to be savored and enjoyed. Diners should not fear their mouths Becoming flamethrowers. Don Juan’s totally rocks!

This place is absolutely wonderful. Very family oriented, great staff, very welcoming and love the environment. On Wednesday's it is always filled with tons of people enjoying 1$ taco night. 10/10 would recommend. 2 locations in Tyler, both awesome!

Outstanding authentic Mexican. The food is different than you get at a Tex Mex restaurant- don't expect Tex Mex here! The complainers are comparing two different types of food. I love Tex Mex, but I love this, too. The chile rellenos are authentic and made as they should be- stuffed pepper dipped in egg batter- not bread crumb Tex Mex. The chips are thicker than you're used to eating at the typical Tex Mex restaurant, but they are delicious and exactly like the ones I've eaten in Mexico. They have red and green sauces- I like to mix the two. The green is really good poured over your food, too. My favorite is the #19- pechuga rellena. Chicken breast stuffed with ham and cheese and slow cooked in a tomato garlic sauce. It comes with rice, a salad, and tortillas. The sauce is amazing on the rice and I like to cut up the chicken and eat it on tortillas with the salad. Yum!

Good, authentic. Only place I know in Tyler with posole. Good good at a good price. Special daily, worth checking out. Don't be dissuaded by the mediocre chips and salsa, the rest of the food is good, however the service has been less than stellar, I come here for the food and the price... So I guess if you are not in a hurry or want a waiter breathing down our neck, but want a good Mexican meal then you're set.

Great!. Great authentic Mexican & inexpensive. Try the chilaquilas! If you want Tex-Mex in Tyler there are plenty of neon lit places. Want something else, come here!

Hands down the BEST mexican food restaurant in East Texas. Being from San Antonio, found it difficult to enjoy mexican food until I found Don Juan's.

Liked it. Would return if I visit Tyler again. Fresh authentic food couple with friendly service and festive atmosphere. The chicken sopes are a must try. Their chips are actually like the ones you would get Mexico.

El mejor. It's true, you just cannot get authentic Mexican food in Tyler as good and cheap as you can at DJ's. My wife and I can both eat there and get extremely fat and happy for less than $10! Come on!

I love the BBQ flour tacos with cheese. Their chimichangas are also muy bueno.

Best Mexican in Tyler - Hands Down. The chips here are the best chips in town; they are very thick, crispy, and tasty. The red sauce and green sauce to dip them in is also very tasty, but they aren't like the thick and chunky salsa that is served at tex-mex restaurants.

This is a much more authentic mexican experience than can be found at most places in tyler, but the menu is not intimidatingly weird. Most of the items on the menu people will be familiar with, they are just prepared in a much more authentic manner.

Awesome traditional mexican food. This place is great, and is a bit of a different story than your normal tex mex fare, thats so prevalent. Things are done a bit more simply, and the detail is ramped up. The enmoladas are fantastic, and the tacos are always good.

Food is good here if your after Authentic Mexican . The wait staff was friendly and the atmosphere was cheerie . The only reason I didn't rate them a 5 was the service was a little slow.

Quick service, great food, every time. My wife and I had Don Juans catered for our rehearsal dinner for our wedding because we love it so much. The best enchiladas in town! We love eating here while catching up with Angel and the rest of the staff. Consistently a 5 Star experience.

Great Mexican food. Somewhat unique as well. My wife and I took my son there for lunch. A heavy lunch. Very heavy. It was delicious, although the meal probably took a couple of weeks off of my life expectancy. But that is what good Mexican food does - right?!
