    Caldo de res (beef)
    Martin T.

    I am in town for work and wanted some caldo. I searched around on Yelp and found a few good reviews about the beef caldo. It was a little weird that the vegetables were still hard but it did give it a fresh texture that I have never experienced in my life. The broth was full of flavor and even the portions of vegetables were just right. I'm used to getting a lot of one vegetable and it seems like they have the vegetables portioned out for each bowl. Caldo de res 7/10

    Plenty of seating and it's always clean in there. Service is fast and the food comes out hot and good. Weird but they don't have prices in there menu.

    This was a great spot for dinner in Granbury, Texas. We started out with a chili con queso; which is a must when you're in Texas. They usually serve it with flour tortillas - and these tortillas were homemade and delicious. My sister ordered the fajitas which were super fresh and delicious! But i think the chicharrón sope was my favorite, hands down. Regardless, you can't go wrong! Ohhhhh and order a paloma! They are delicious as are the micheladas.

    Food is great, we usually have the menudo & barbacoa on Sundays after church. It's a good local owned business

    Found some real Mex Mex tacos in Aubrey!…read more My wife heard good things about Taqueria Don Juan from the Ladies of Little Elm Facebook group and she had seen good tacos catered at public park events in Little Elm from the same people, so I wanted to give this place a try. First off for some reason Google lists this place as "permanently closed" as of 7/19/2016 but this is incorrect! As far as the place, the exterior is unassuming but fitting with an old Texas smokehouse sort of look. The interior decor was bright and clean. The setting is relaxed and quiet. Regarding the food, the red salsa was very hot, as hot as I recall a Mex restaurant ever having their salsa. The green salsa was a less hot choice and both tasted good. So if super hot homemade salsa is your thing or good green homemade salsa is your thing, consider this place. The tacos and gorditas were both good and when "queso" is listed this is real Mexican queso fresca! I had a gordita with rajas filling (chili / tomato / onions all grilled together with real Mexican cheese) which was really good. The fajita and chicken taco filling were both good. I preferred the gorditas over the tacos which I guess reminded me of the empanadas and papusas from further cuisine further south of the boarder. Everyone who I was with enjoyed their food as well. There were adequate vegetarian choices as well with the huevos, been and cheese, and rajas. The chips were just okay and the water is by the bottle and all and all this is a no frills family place. If Taqueria Don Juan costs what a typical Mex restaurant does in the area I would give it 4 out of 5 stars. However here you can get a real Mex meal for Taco Bell prices that is true Mexican food just like being south of the boarder (no canned "nacho sauce" aqui). For these reasons I give Taqueria Don Juan 5 stars.

Since it's a new to us place, Thuy went for the: "MEXICAN DINNER One beef enchilada with queso sauce, one chicken enchilada with sour cream sauce and one tamale with chili sauce. $12.25" Pretty good.
