San Juan

We came here and it was packed. There's some seats available. We got there though when we were seated immediately the waiter was very nice and checked on us time to time to make sure everything was OK. The ambience felt like a Mexican restaurant vibe, even though we were at the beach. we got seated and I got fajitas with tortillas and chips and queso, and it was so good. The tortilla was pretty hard though, but I enjoyed it and it was a very good lunch.

Service was great but the food left much to be desired. I got a burrito and it was half fat chunks and half beef with lettuce and 2 slices of tomato. That is not a burrito. Burrito should have beans rice as well. I sent my burrito back to fix the meat fat ratio but when she brought it back it was the same undercooked beef. I know it was undercooked cause my brother got the beef nachos and his fajita was dark and crispy it looked way way better than the meat in my burrito. Not good at all. Ambiance is what you'd expect for a 20 year old Mexican restaurant. I saw a review someone saw a roach run across their table so watch out for that.

Again,another place that's been here for decades so that I can drive by! Never looking for Mexican food when in Port Aransas prior,I was open to it today.4 star average with hundreds of reviews,I deemed it safe to test the waters. Always welcome is the seat yourself which is reiterated with any San Juan Employee walking by. Great start.As soon as we sat down the friendly waitress showed up and gave us the menu composed of enough selections for you to pick your top three, changing your mind over and over until the waitress returns and you unexpectedly spit out your third choice.Come on,you know you do that.All in all we enjoyed the food. I'm glad I was in the mood and gave it a try. Next trip I'll give the Mexican breakfast a spin. I have a feeling they sling some mean huevos ranchero.Atmosphere...expected kitchService.... excellent Prices...in lineFood...goodGo!

San Juan family! I have been coming here for years and for the first time our meal was not great today. The white queso (which we get EVERYTIME) was very thick and got cold so fast we could barely eat it before it was just too hard to eat. The cocktail camarones had a different flavor- It was very watery. My aunt's order was missed and they brought her the wrong fish- (red snapper not redfish and shrimp). Overall it just was not what we are used to - we will all be back because we know the food here is always good. Just an off day today I think.

Restaurant needed some more cleaning...Food did come out fast. But seemed like it was made carelessly. Food didn't have much flavor either.. customer service was good. Very nice and attentive.

Great breakfast! I had eggs with machaca. Wife had potato and egg taco. Their blood marys hit the spot. They had a table salsa both green and red. All very good.

I have going to San Juan since I can remember. When I say I want breakfast, I mean I want a barbacoa plate! San Juan serves their's up just about as fast as you can say the words, no matter how full the place is. Their dish comes with an egg included (usually an item you have to add on) and of course tortillas on the side. Pair it with a coke and you've got the breakfast of champions, ready to take on a beach day. I can understand reviews that mention it seems a little less than stellar in the cleanliness department, but its old and to be expected, really. My only reason for knocking off a star is that the salsas are not my favorite. Salsa is a huge factor for me in the world of tacos so that was a bit disappointing. Nothing a little pocket salsa can't fix ;)

Great experience! We were seated right away and the servers were very attentive. Service was quick and the food was delicious! Very authentic feel inside! Next time I'm in port Aransas this is a must stop.

Very busy, and loud. Once again, a big party. This place is fast. Drinks and chips have served. The owner was on the floor, serving and making us laugh. He is a cut up, but very friendly. Staff was hustling. Miss that kinda hustling in a restaurant. We had a party of 15, they couldn't accommodate us inside, but they gave us three tables outside. They took care of us out there, no messing around at this place. The menu is full of good choices, and the drink prices are very good. The corn tortillas are delicious. Food came out really quick, and was tasty. I had the Papi Chulo, came with a lemon cheese sauce. The cheese was great, not lemony at all. The meat is thin strip, on a bed of rice. It was good, but I would have liked it with refried beans. Matt had the Tampico plate, he tore it up. Maria had the nachos, I tried her guacamole, but it needed some seasoning. It was just smashed avocado. Definitely coming back to this place. Parking is plenty full, indoor is kinda tight, but there is outdoor seating.

I came here for breakfast tacos. I ordered bacon and egg, bean and cheese with bacon, carne guisada. Each and every taco was disgusting. The tortilla was rubbery and cold not flour-y and soft. The beans had no flavor not to mention they were very cold. The cheese was still intact. Very cheap here, 11$ for 4 tacos. I would pay a lot more for quality tacos. Sad because if you can't get breakfast tacos right I'm sure the rest of the menu isn't that great. Probably will never return.
