Decided on this spot for takeout lunch today and was not disappointed. I got the chicken burrito platter for $17. Hearty meal with all the sides. The burrito had a nice cheesey sauce on the actual burrito which was different. Make it super moist. Seemed pretty quiet in both the restaurant and carry out section. Would deff recommend to give it a try if your in mount pleasant.

Good restaurant. But service / food can be spotty...kitchen can be SLOW during peak times. 35+ minute wait for simple items is not unheard of. I have paid for food, then left before recieving it because service was too slow.

I visited Don Juan with some coworkers. We were seated quickly and the service was great. I forgot the name of our waitress but she had a pixie cut and was very friendly. Chips and salsa are complimentary as is the case at most Latin restaurants. Overall the flavor of the food was great. We got shredded chicken nachos for the table and I personally got the carne asada quesadilla. I just wish the portions could have been bigger. There are other restaurants that will serve almost double the amount of food for a similar price. Side note: parking around the restaurant is a pain. I'd recommend public transport or rideshare.

Poor service. Subpar food. Creepy guy at the bar. So many better places a block away. Why waste your time and money?

This place has ok food but the service is horrible. Also they add a tip to the bill regardless of your party size. I would skip it.

Came with a bunch of pals for a celebratory meal on a Thursday night. I had a reservation that I made online but I honestly forgot to mention it when I arrived. No problem, we got a bunch of seats right away. We enjoyed their wide selection of juices, beers, cocktails and smoothies. Food came out fast and hot. I will say my one dining friend got a taco salad that was mostly chips. There were even more chips inside the taco bowl, seemed a bit cheap. My fajita was tasty and filing. Service to get the check was a bit slow but otherwise than than, the staff are attentive and patient. Great place for a social hour!

I've been craving good Mexican food and I stopped in wanting a good crispy beef taco and salsa. I order Daily Special # 6 which is a crispy taco, enchilada, and pupusa. To note: this is a Salvadoran spot. So, the pupusa was decent but Ercelia's down the street is better. The crispy taco was shredded chicken and I should have gone to Taco Bell. The enchilada was shredded chicken and they seem to have forgotten the enchilada sauce. Ay, dios mio. The chips were decent but the salsa tasted like canned tomatoes. There's no heat. No citrus. No bueno, mis amigos.

I was recommended this place by a local, excited to try some pupusas since I was told there's a large Salvadoran community here in DC. Restaurant was empty, no problem. I ordered 3 pupusas revueltas (pork n cheese) and a horchata. Total was 13$ and some change. The revueltas had no pork, I looked in each one and it was just cheese. Asked the server if it had pork, she said it did. The masa felt like it wasn't cooked well, odd consistency, didn't finish my food. Horchata was okay, tasted a bit different than what I'm used to but I know variation is normal depending on where you go.Service non existent, the lady looked like she didn't really care, no checking up or good hospitality.Ambiance seemed like it used to be a lively restaurant, but now is a shell of its former self.This place sucks, and im not even a harsh food reviewer! Would not recommend, but as always, feel free to try it yourself.
