    We had a stellar experience at Don Juan Mexican Kitchen! The service was perfect; very friendly and accommodating without being intrusive, and food and drinks were served in a very timely manner. The food was absolutely delicious. Our party of four started with the crispy pork belly bites, which I think were the best I’ve ever had. Our daughter had the Ensenada salad with shrimp. It looked very fresh and beautiful, with the largest shrimp I have seen in a long time. She really enjoyed it. The rest of us had a variety of tacos, and they were all exceptionally good. The drinks were expertly made with very fresh ingredients and were beautifully presented. We were celebrating my husband’s birthday, and they brought out a dish of ice cream with the best fresh-made and hot churros that I’ve had. All in all, I would give them a 10 out of 10 and look forward to returning.

    Place is beautiful, cool decor, margaritas and drinks are amazing but the food is pre made heated up not fresh or homemade Mexican! Shocking in OC we know Mexican food and it has to be fresh and this place would succeed big time! Atmosphere is awesome in our gorgeous small Town of San Juan Capistrano! Note to Owner get a real chef and Cook! its not hard to go Fresh!
