Don't go for the food or the atmosphere. The cheese enchiladas were technically cheese enchiladas (corn tortilla, sprinkle white cheese inside and on top, brushed with a red sauce) and had zero taste. Chips were stale. Both sauces were burning hot. Atmosphere was terrible. Got seated upstairs where it was so noisy we could barely carry on a conversation. Service was good.

We’ve never been and someone told us that we need to come there to try it out but I wish we wouldn’t have. Our waiter was not good at all, he said he was tired which I understand that completely but unfortunately he wasn’t friendly, he came to give us our drinks and as he sat them down it was wrong, he took our food order had to come back and make sure what we order so he could put it in and it still came out wrong. As we asked another lady to exchange the food for the right thing he’s yelling saying they did order the chicken, which we did not. The guy that brought out the food just laid it in front of us and not having any manners or saying excuse me. We will not be coming back just because of the service.

It’s such a popular place, I’ve tried so many times, ordering different things, hoping for a better experience with both food and service. The food is just so bad. I’ve tried the street tacos, enchiladas, fajitas, carne asada, fajitas, and mooore. Trust me I’ve tried. I LOVE Mexican food, authentic and Tex mex, and it’s still bad. The service is okay, I guess. The people are nice. I hate to leave this review for that more than anything, but even service isn’t the best. Every time I’ve gone I don’t see our server for so long. That would be totally fine if everything was okay, but food is either wrong, or just bad. It’s unfortunate. Don’t get me wrong, others clearly love this place, but I’ve gone with others who also just wanted it to be good because of rep, and so on, and no one is actually a die-hard Don Juan’s fan. They just think they should be. It’s bad. I don’t think anyone could convince me to go again, unless JUST for drinks. Jeez, I don’t even like the chips and salsa. Drinks. Just drinks. If you want a bomb margarita and nothing else, get the Big Steve and have a great time. If you’re hungry… don’t.

Family favorite! Best tex-mex in Tyler. The salsa is our favorite in town (it is spicy so if your not Texan be careful) and the queso is to die for.
It does get noisy because it is so popular but that is so worth it.

We absolutely loved the atmosphere, but the food, not so much. My husband enjoyed his chimichanga, but the beans weren't good at all, the rice was so-so, as was my chicken enchilada. Their "queso" seems to be canned cheese sauce simply warmed up, & they didn't have a sour cream sauce. We had to wait for our check, then wait for her to come get it because she said she'd take care of it. Spilled some water while waiting so just stood there for several min because everyone seemed to be in the back. She finally came out & said we could check ourselves out at the front, & indeed, someone had just appeared at the front register. If she'd told us that earlier, we would've been long gone with no mishaps while waiting!

Don Juan’s on the Square in Tyler, TX, is a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic Mexican cuisine. The vibrant atmosphere and charming decor create a welcoming environment that pairs perfectly with their flavorful dishes. The tacos and enchiladas are standouts, bursting with fresh ingredients and rich flavors. The margaritas are top-notch too, making it an ideal spot for a night out with friends or a casual lunch. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Don Juan’s offers a delicious taste of Mexico right in the heart of Tyler.
Came in from Jacksonville to eat there. I had been wanting Don Juan’s for awhile. It is my favorite Mexican food in Tyler. Went in at 4. There were tables waiting to be bused. Took about 10 minutes to be approached and then another 20 minutes for the waiter to take our order. Food came out quick but the did not bring us silverware. Waited another 10 minutes and then went to look for the waiter. I think they were understaffed. He was nice. Food was great as usual. Prices are always reasonable. Would have gotten 5 stars if the service was better.
