"The charming restaurant serves tamales four ways: with chicken and green sauce, pork with red sauce, cheese and jalapeños, or pineapple and raisins. For a little extra kick, diners can try them enchilada style. Diners can order tamales at any of Casa Don Juan’s three locations including one in the Arts District right on Main Street." - Krista Diamond
"Located in the heart of the Arts District, Casa Don Juan celebrates the work of Mexican artist Frida Khalo. One of the few spots to offer tamales by the dozen also offers a classic Mexican menu with soups, tortas, and tostadas on it — most dishes come slathered in melted cheese and with sides of rice and beans. Three locations across the city feature this abuelita style of cooking." - Janna Karel
"I noted that Casa Don Juan is a longtime Arts District option known for its melted cheese–laden Mexican food." - Janna Karel
"Located in the heart of the Arts District, Casa Don Juan puts as much reverence for the culture into the surroundings as it does the food. Art celebrating Mexican artist Frida Khalo is as deliberate as the menu. One of the few spots to offer tamales by the dozen also offers a classic Mexican menu with soups, tortas, and tostadas on it. Three locations across the city feature this abuelita style of cooking." - Toni Gonzales, Janna Karel
"Lively Mexican restaurant Casa Don Juan is known for ice-cold margaritas, housemade tortillas, fresh guacamole, and a lengthy menu of authentic Mexican favorites like tamales, seafood soup, and among others. Happy hour runs Monday through Thursday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. with a petite food menu of tacos, queso fundido, chicharrones, and more. Palomas, margaritas, and piña coladas are the stars at happy hour, but the restaurant pours beer and wine too." - Janna Karel
