| - We have eaten here several times, as we live nearby. Their food is always tasty, no matter what we have ordered.
HOWEVER, this review is not just for the restaurant. Its for the stellar staff of C d J.
Ate lunch there yesterday, with a friend from out of town. I was playing with my ring (its custom-made and I saved for a long time to get it), because my fingers hurt. I must have taken it off, and forgot to put it on, when our food came. It got left behind :-(
This morning when I noticed, I frantically called every business and friend I had been to yesterday. When I finally called Casa don Juan, I had all but given up hope. But the nice lady there said, "Yes, I have it here."
We tried to offer her and the staff member who turned it in a reward, but they wouldnt accept it. So we promised to write a review and eat there more often :-)
Which we are glad to do! Their carnitas finally gave me a reason to use the word "unctuous". My friend raved about her cocido soup. My husband loves their seafood. Not to mention complimentary chips, bean dip, and (yummy) salsa. This is not the cheapest Mexican food in town...but its a "destination". Wonderful Mexican decor. Sweet waitresses dressed as Frieda Kahlo, and jolly waiters dressed in mariachi-type outfits. AND a lady who turns out endless fresh tortillas from the griddle at the center of the restaurant. Go for happy hour to get a price break on drinks; or order their authentic (non-alcoholic) aguas frescas. And be sure to ask what desserts they have....and save a little room for one :-)
