    Don Juan- El Taco Grande
    Ashley G.

    I just love Juan in a Million! Super fast service, great food, and amazing portion sizes. You can pop in for a quick meal or take your time and enjoy it. The atmosphere is super casual, and the staff is always so friendly. I've only been for breakfast so far, but I'm dying to come back and try their lunch and dinner items.

    Must visit in Austin! Juan in a million was recommended by a friend, our flight landed early and we drove there for breakfast and let me tell you, we went back every single day. Carne guisada tacos are a MUST! Their chips are the most fresh crunchiest things I've ever had, and their hot sauce once of a kind! I didnt care for the bean and cheese taco, I had the egg and potato taco and it made all the difference. I love the authenticity and amazing service we got at this place! If you go mid day prepare to wait. Your beat bet is to call ahead and do a pick up and it usually takes 15 minutes. Can't wait to be back!

    Background: Migas con queso. Foreground: Don Juan taco
    Love P.

    This will always be one of my favorites. I feel like I grew up here. Thirty-five-plus years later, whenever I order something other than the migas, someone comments, "Not your usual today?" This isn't meant to be a vanity post. It's a reminder that for many of us, a restaurant becomes more than just a place to eat. It becomes a second home, a connection to our childhood, or a taste that instantly brings back memories. The people at Juan in a Million have always made me feel like family, and I'm grateful that so many of them are still there after all these years. Places like this aren't just restaurants. They're part of the fabric of our lives.

    It definitely is Juan in a Million! Queso was really, really good. The cheese enchiladas, rice and beans are in my top 3 best for sure, living in Houston with so many great places, this says a lot. This rice was delicious, full of flavor, soft and fluffy. Huevos Mexicanos was nice, served with fresh corn tortillas. Chicken quesadillas were extra cheesy. Don't miss out on this place!! Bonus points for Bevo on all dishes!! #hookem

    It's time to update Juan of my favourite reviews I've written. Unfortunately, this Juan will not be as favourable. My previous review was of my experience eating their breakfast tacos at a catered event, but this time I came to dine in with my friends. The service was very slow. Our food came in a reasonable time, but the servers just took so long every time to come over. Also, they were very insistent that everyone in our party be present to be seated. They led us to a back room that had a lot of empty tables, so we were baffled by how strict they were. I got the Don Juan El Taco Grande, which is a huge breakfast taco. The server recommended getting two extra tortillas, and I'm glad I did because you could fill all three tortillas and more. After tax and tip, my portion ended up being $12. It was an average breakfast taco, and the tortillas were a little bit hard.

    We did it, Juan in a Million. Gotta say everyone was happy. Gringo Tex-Mex was the agenda here and Juan delivered. Chips and Salsa on point, and that is has to be right. Tacos, Enchiladas were good and be sure to get a chile toreado on the side, they are not on the menu but every good mex spot has them. We walked in and got seated quickly but I can see it could be a bit longer with a wait. The tables flip quickly so hang around. The lunch menu specials on the board were inviting and priced in the below $15 range.

    The Don Juan El Taco Grande is the main reason I keep coming back. It's massive, and sometimes the staff will offer an extra tortilla so you can turn it into a second taco, which makes it feel like a great value. Every component works well together, from the potatoes and bacon to the eggs and grated cheese. It's filling, satisfying, and consistently hits the spot. The staff are also quick and attentive, which makes the experience even better. I've tried the fajitas as well, but they were just okay and not something I'd go out of my way to order again. Overall, this is still a solid 4/5 spot for me, especially if you're coming for the Don Juan.

    Our family had a short weekend trip to Austin and breakfast tacos was high on our priority list. I am so glad that they open early at 7 am. We tried the Don Juan el taco grande, chorizo and egg breakfast taco, and migas, egg, and cheese breakfast taco. The portions are generous and it was more than enough for the four of us. My husband and I really enjoyed the migas breakfast taco whereas my girls loved the Don Juan el taco grande. There was something for everybody!

    Austin breakfast stop you gotta try.

    Juan in a Million is the kind of Austin spot that makes you understand why everyone loves Austin. I got the Don Juan and I don't remember the last time I had a breakfast combo that felt that perfect. It's hearty, and hits every single breakfast craving at once. I didn't even get a picture because it was too good to pause. The service was absolutely incredible, especially considering they were packed. I will be back the very first morning the day I come back to Austin! If you're in Austin and like breakfast go get the Don Juan!

    Barbacoa, Chorizo, egg and cheese tacos

    Solid breakfast tacos. The barbacoa taco was very good. Moist and flavorful. The chorizo, egg and cheese taco was excellent. Service was fast and friendly.

    This is probably the most popular Mexican restaurant in Austin. There usually a waiting line especially on the weekend. Burrito are huge and good value. Breakfast is pretty good, it is hearty, fresh tortilla goes well with the meal. It would be better if they have chilaquiles. For a popular Mexican restaurant, it is strange that they don't offer it.

    Huevos A La Mexicana Plate - $13.95
    Michelle E.

    Overall, Juan In A Million is a decent option for breakfast, brunch, or lunch when you're craving Mexican food. It isn't going to blow you away but you can order the Don Juan El Taco Grande with some extra tortillas and have a super affordable meal! FAST FACTS: * Parking: there's some parking around the building and a lot next door * Online ordering: available on their website * Delivery: available on their website * Daily specials Monday through Friday * Family owned for over 45 years... great option for supporting local restaurants PRICING - The total was $53.25 after tax ($4.05) but before tip for: - Coffee: $3.25 (ordered 2 but only charged for 1) - Don Juan El Taco Grande: $8.75 - 4 extra tortillas: $1.00 ($0.25 each) - Huevos A La Mexicana Plate: $13.95 - Con Queso Breakfast Plate: $14.75 - Chile Con Queso (8 oz): $7.50 - Complimentary chips and salsa SERVICE - Fantastic! We arrived around 11:30 am on a Saturday and were seated after about a 5 minute wait. Several servers took care of us by refilling our waters and coffees but Felix was our main server... he took our order shortly after getting seated and our food came out quickly. DON JUAN EL TACO GRANDE (8/10) - Best deal on the menu! Order some extra tortillas because it's a MASSIVE portion. It's a little dry but you can add the complimentary salsa on top. This will always be my go-to because it's super filling for the price! HUEVOS A LA MEXICANA PLATE (7/10) - The eggs come scrambled with jalapeños, tomatoes, and onions but definitely needed some seasoning. The diced potatoes needed salt as well and are more "wet" than crispy. You can choose corn or flour tortillas for the side (I was given 3 corn tortillas instead of 2). CON QUESO BREAKFAST PLATE (8/10) - Super saucy and delicious! Again, the diced potatoes needed salt and weren't crispy but the queso was the perfect consistency and the carne guisada was incredibly tender. You can choose corn or flour tortillas for the side but I recommend ordering extra to soak up the extra queso. CHILE CON QUESO (6/10) - The taste and consistency is great but $7.50 for a small cup seems pricey considering the Don Juan El Taco Grande is only $8.75. I wouldn't order this again. The tortillas are nothing special which is a little disappointing but you get decent portions of food and great service. I'd recommend Juan In a Million to anyone in the area but wouldn't tell people to go out of their way to try it.

    Ask the Community - Juan In A Million

    What kind of cheese do y'all use?

    Do they have parking?

    Yes, and you can also park in the lot next door

    Do they serve corn tortillas?

    Hi Cristal, yes they do serve corn tortillas! They'll ask for your preference between corn and flour when taking your order :).

    Do they have music?

    I don't remember music being played but I could be wrong. I wasn't paying attention

    Do they use soy in their food? Friend has an allergy but we'd really like to eat here

    I don't believe so. All natural ingredients. But you can mention it and they will definitely accommodate your needs.

    Can they accommodate large groups? Edit: group size 19...

    Define "large"? But I'd think they could just fine - they have their main room then two addon spaces attached that could host a lot. I'd call and ask for reserving the spaces.

    Are the totillas hand made at the location?

    No, they are not hand made. There are a few restaurants that make their tortillas on-site (manually or mechanically assisted), however. For instance, Chuy's and Serranos for a family dine-in joints and Taco Cabana as a fast-casual joint to name a… 

    Will they play the game with sound? I heard they don't have audio

    No. It's not a sports bar. TV is always on mute.

    Is the restaurant Dog friendly?

    Don't think so, since you had to go thru the inside of the restaurant to get to the patio. Tight space that may not be ideal for dawgs.

    Do they take to go orders?

    Yes!

    What time should I get there on a Sunday morning? Monday morning?

    I think the earlier the better especially on Sunday. The line does move fast but the wait is outside I cant imagine you would ever have to wait more than 30 minutes at peak…

My eggs Benedict was served on a unique bread - not a traditional English muffin - that kind of fell apart as I ate it. The flavor was great though. I should have gotten regular home fries, because the hashbrown casserole was cheesy and I wanted something to soak up the hollandaise and egg. The pancakes were so light they fell right apart when we began cutting into them. The flavor was great though. I would definitely recommend Phoebes.

Their burger is easily one of the best I've had in Austin, especially paired with their thin, crispy fries. It's my go-to order almost every time. One thing I love is that they switch up the steak portion of the menu a few times a year, and it never disappoints. Right now they have the steak au poivre, which is incredible, although I'm still craving their steak frites and hoping it makes a comeback. The escargot and French onion soup are also favorites of mine. At this point, June's has become a staple in our house--usually with a couple of Diet Cokes and either the burger or whatever steak they're featuring. A few of my friends swear by the chicken sandwich (fair warning: it can get a little messy!), the half roasted chicken, and the tuna crudo, so you really can't go wrong no matter what you order. On top of the amazing food, the staff is always incredibly kind and welcoming, which keeps us coming back. I definitely recommend making a reservation since it tends to get pretty busy, especially during peak hours.

When we were driving out of the garage we were shocked to see a $48 bill at the machine. An attendant explained we have to tap the validated ticket twice to see the correct price, which was still $25 (the standard $12/hour charge). This parking situation was frustrating and unclear.

My biggest issue started before I even got seated. There is a QR code that you're required to use to join the waitlist/queue, but this is not clearly communicated on their website. You essentially have to arrive at the restaurant and figure it out once you're there. For a restaurant that is known for having long waits and high traffic, I feel like this information should be clearly stated online so people can plan accordingly. Once I joined the queue, I was number 43 and ended up waiting about an hour and a half before being seated. I understand that popular restaurants can have long wait times, but the lack of transparency about how the process works made the experience more frustrating than it needed to be. Once inside, the ambiance was actually quite quaint and charming. That said, considering how much traffic this restaurant gets, I was surprised by how limited the space is. I honestly think expanding the property would make a huge difference, although I understand that may not be entirely within their control. One thing I will give them major credit for is the menu. Online, the selection makes it look somewhat limited, but once you're there, they actually have 50+ food options, so there is plenty to choose from. That was definitely a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, my entrée was disappointing. I ordered a shredded beef taco with salsa and substituted a side salad. The beef was extremely tender, but unfortunately, it was also very dry. The salad was another disappointment because the vinaigrette was honestly not good. I don't think I've ever had a vinaigrette that I actively disliked until this meal. Thankfully, my fiancé had a much better experience. He ordered an enchilada and said it was one of the top five enchiladas he's ever had, so clearly there are some standout dishes on the menu. That definitely made me curious about trying something different if I ever return. I also really enjoyed that they offer hibiscus tea. I was very happy to see it on the menu, although I personally think it would be better served on its own rather than incorporated into one of their mixed drinks. The drink itself was just okay, but the hibiscus flavor was great. Overall, I can see why this place has become an Austin staple, but I think the experience could be improved significantly by making the waitlist process much clearer online and by improving the consistency of some of the food. The menu has a lot of potential, and clearly, some dishes are excellent! Unfortunately, mine just wasn't one of them.

They had a baked apple seasonal option while I was there and it was amazing. Traditional breakfasts are also delicious and far more manageable. Coffee was never ending and flavorful, not "diner coffee". I'll gladly come back the next time I'm in town.

For food, we ordered the blackened catfish, brisket burnt ends quesadillas, and harvest bowl to share. Everything was delicious and served quickly, even with the aforementioned dinner rush. 10/10 would order the same items again. I was so appreciative of the server splitting the entree over two plates without us asking. Did I mention the complimentary popcorn and cornbread? Twas a FEAST. I'm already thinking about the next time we're going back! If not for Moonshine, definitely for the speakeasy downstairs.

    We were in Austin for a conference so I did some research and stumbled upon Moonshine Grill. I made…read morea reservation a week in advance. We arrived and in a few minutes we were seated at a table and immediately given water in mason jars and asked for our drink order. I opted just got an Arnold Palmer but the drink menu had some cute cocktails and mocktails, as well as a nice selection of beer and wine. Instead of bread, our server brought us a basket of seasoned popcorn. The popcorn had almost like a Cajun flair, but it wasn't spicy. It reminded me of the Ground Round chain from when I was a little girl. We decided to try the corndog shrimp appetizer. I couldn't decide on an entree because everything looked so good, so I did the Parmesan chicken and my coworker did the steak salad. The shrimp arrived so quickly with four large pieces of shrimp on a stick wrapped in corn dog batter and fried to a golden brown, with a blueberry mustard dipping sauce. The shrimp were delicious and while I didn't get much of the blueberry in the mustard, I enjoyed the sweetness it provided. My Parmesan chicken was a crispy and juicy breaded chicken cutlet with a lemon cream, artichoke hearts, and what appeared to be prosciutto on top. It was served with a side of pesto couscous with grape tomatoes and cucumbers. I wish I had ordered mashed potatoes on the side, because I wanted something to soak up the lemon cream sauce, which was the highlight of the chicken. We also were served 3 mini cornbread muffins with honey butter. My coworker said the salad was just okay, and was a little on the small side. The desserts were definitely a MUST and if you visit Moonshine and don't save room for the Espresso Brownie or the Peanut Butter Pie, you're going to regret it. The brownie was so fudgey and warm and served with ice cream. It was decadent. The peanut butter pie was the biggest slab of PB pie I've ever had with a thick Oreo crust. I wish I had someone with me to share it, it was huge. Overall, if I lived in the area I would definitely be back to try other things.

    I dined at The Scarbrough for brunch during my stay in Austin. It was just a short, pleasant walk…read morefrom my hotel. The Scarbrough is located inside the Scarbrough Building lobby. They specialize in crepes. They have a handful of small tables as well as couch seating. You place your order at the counter then the staff brings it to you once it's ready. I ordered my go-to drink, an oat milk latte with honey and cinnamon as well as their Lox n' found croiffin. The latte was great. The Lox n' found croiffin comes with a toasted croissant roll, smoked salmon, ricotta, avocado, arugula, capers, pickled onions and dill. I added an egg for an additional charge of $2. This was a beautiful and tasty sandwich! It was very filling, too. I highly recommend checking out this unique spot!

    The food is delicious, and the setting is unique, but the service is a bit slow…read more The restaurant is located in the lobby of the Scarbrough Building. It's a small space, with only around eight tables and a tiny kitchen behind the counter. It's a bit hard to locate from outside. There's no big sign on the window indicating the restaurant's name, just a plastic A-frame sign outside the building's doors. When I got there, four of the eight tables were empty but the dirty dishes had not yet been cleared. It took close to 10 minutes for the tables to be bused. Because the kitchen is so small, I'd recommend going up to the counter to order as soon as you get there. I believe you can also place your order online using the QR code on the table, but I didn't try that method. I ordered the lox n found, a toasted croissant roll with smoked salmon, avocado, dill ricotta, arugula, onion, and capers. The menu says it also comes with a side of roasted potatoes, but mine didn't come with that. The sandwich was delicious and filling, so I definitely didn't need them, but I do feel like I didn't get what I paid for.

Mañana is located at the South Congress Hotel has coffee + tea, bakeshop and grab + go offerings (primarily water, kombucha, paletas and juices). Of course I was there for a latte spiked with black sesame vanilla (their most popular latte) according to my barista, which I paired with an almond bear claw. This was not your typical bear claw as it was not eye-squinting sweet but bursting with almond flavoring primarily in the center. It was almost like a crescendo in a symphony when you got to the center of the bear claw. My latte was flavorful in a subtle way with the sesame vanilla permeating throughout the latte. It is important to note that they make their own pastries and tacos each day. The pastries are a bit pricey costing more than my latte. The coffee shop has floor to ceiling windows on two sides with one of the windows opening into a courtyard with additional seating. The beautifully titled coffee bar immediately grabs your attention. In addition, service was quick and efficient. I was in and out the coffee shop within 10 minutes. I parked right in front of the coffee shop as it was early before the meters started to tick.
