I can’t even with this place. I live near this place, so I know the people that own and work here, but sadly, this place is gross. It brings down the value of our neighborhood. They don’t pick up the trash that their costumers litter, leaving nearby yards full of trash. The smell from the restaurant permeates the neighborhood and nearby homes, making people keep their windows closed even on the most beautiful days, & they never close the dumpers they use, which makes for a stink fest in warmer temperatures. It wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world if this place never opens back up. I honestly hope the city comes to their senses and never allow this place to reopen.

I’m not surprised this place is closed…should have been a long time ago. It’s dirty and smelly.

Picked up dinner here to go while in Auburn on a visit to several area towns and this was by far the best meal of our trip. It was also the least expensive. The empanadas were made fresh and were about twice the size of a standard empanada. Both the chicken & cheese and beef & cheese were delicious but I'd recommend the beef and cheese if only getting one (although you really should get more than one). The meals are also large portions, the meats are tender and flavorful, and the plantains were cooked perfectly. Lovely staff, excellent food, and well priced especially given the portions. A must visit if you live in the area or find yourself passing through Auburn. They also offer delivery.

Authentic Puerto Rican food in the middle of nowhere.I've lived here for about three years and just came across Don Juan. Delicious food. Generous portions. Friendly staff and customers. Better you should take out. Grub Hub didn't work out so well. Not the restaurant's fault.Parking: Can get crowded. Be prepared to improvise!

This is a great spot for homemade Puerto Rican food. Staff is always very nice and the portions are a great size. I definitely recommend the passion fruit juice.

This place for it's size and location has some of the tastiest food around. The roast pork plate feeds me for several meals and I'm always planning trips to auburn just for this gem, if you haven't tried it that's silly

Little Puerto Rican restaurant in Auburn. Ok food with just a few tables inside. Good service too. Only about 3 parking spots but plenty of on-street
