    The location is great and the restaurant had a cool vibe and tasty food. The server was excellent and so were the other staff members. Even though my date didn’t go well, I still really thought the restaurant and service were great!

    We enjoyed a birthday dinner party of 8. The food was delicious. The service was great, the server was always checking in. The drinks were great. Not too crowded as we ate at 630p. I would recommend it

    I'd like to let Open Table know how highly dissatisfied I am with this reservation. I had a reservation for 10 on NYE for a Birthday that I dependened on and the manager of Don Juan Mexican Kitchen called and left me a voice mail saying they had decided to close the restraunt early and my reservation had been canceled. So unprofessional! This last minute/ day of cancelation on a Holiday left me in a HUGE bind. I will not be going to this restraunt in the future unless this inconvenience is rectified. The restraunt offered me nothing for the huge inconvenience. This was a party of 10!! This makes me question how reliable Open Table is as well. Open Table should not have allowed a reservation to be made if the restraunt was going to be closed. Teresa Holloway

    Had a nice lunch on Sunday with friends. We had some drinks and shared the Appetizer combo platter - it was very good and we were all happy and full for a very reasonable price. I saw some other items on the menu that I'd like to try next time I go back. Nice, clean restaurant and it's right in the fun part of SJC - I do recommend.

    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.
