pbnj Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I was watching Man vs Food last night and saw this place. Anyone ever eat there? How is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ACampbell Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 We went there because we saw that show too. It really is One in a million. Best ever. FYI, they close a 3pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 It took me 11.5 years living in Austin to finally make it there. It was great! Basically, the thing to get is the Don Juan. Oh, and I have been told by many people, do NOT get the fajitas Oh, and watch out for Juan, he has a mean handshake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesL Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Prey tell, what's the deal with the Fajitas? From my understanding, it is like drinking tap water in Mexico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzobob Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Same here, hadn't heard of the place till Man v Food. Was only watching the episode to see what they had on Lone Star Bakery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddybluewater Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I have not thought of that place in years. Great b-fast tacos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 As above, great food, great handshake(was voted best restaurateur handshake a few years ago in the chronicle). The chicken fajitas are good as are the beef enchiladas. Avoid weekend mornings or lunch hour if you can, unless you want to wait a while. As James alluded to, it might give you the runs if you aren't used to real Tex-Mex. Unlike above, I was a regular before the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+brian.srock Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Same thing although I'm not a fan of man vs food thats where we saw it and tried it yesterday. Got myself the don juan taco and even shook the owners hand. I'm more of a triple D person and we follow Guy to most of his spots over Austin, San Antonio, and other places.

Captain Vash Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) Don Juan tacos are amazing. I'd go there twice a week right after I got off work in the mornings. HUGE plate of breakfast taco mix. Ask for three tortillas. Two isn't near enough. Three barely cuts it. The owner is usually out meeting people at the door. Best breakfast I've ever had.

We recently went to T-Bone Tom's in Kemah, TX (south of Houston), which was featured on the DDD. The signature marinated steak was good (not really sure it was worth the price), but the Armadillo eggs were great! Deep fried jalapeno's stuffed with brisket... yum!

pbnj Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Took my wife and son there this morning. My son and I had the Don Juan breakfast tacos....pretty good, but not phenomenal (although the $ value is amazing). Seemed like the whole restaurant was ordering them though. My wife was not pleased. She got the beef fajitas and they were not very good. She absolutley loves Mesa Rosa's fajitas and was not pleased we drove 30 minutes and waited on line outside for another 15 minutes, when we could have gone down the street to Mesa Rosa. I'd stop in again if I was ever in the area, but I won't go out of my way again. By the way, the new record is 9 Don Juan's (someone ate 8.5).
