Lot of food, lot of flavor, lots of love. A must visit if you go to Austin. And if you see Juan shake his hand. Best handshake in America.

Scott Gilbert

Inexpensive , but impressive. The tacos can feed a small family and Juan won't let you leave without a deathly firm grip. You'll leave with a full belly and a lesson on a proper handshake .

Hudson Sutler

Looking to save a buck and make a friend? Talk to Juan yourself. If his handshake doesn’t convince you, his breakfast taco will.  Excellently priced rustic Mexican cuisine . Read more

Bryan Emmerling

Great food, great service, great atmosphere, and great staff . The owner has an amazing personality. Walk in shake hands or hug. Very welcoming.

Andee Derby-Aguilera

Today the service was stellar and so was the food. I’m not a huge fan of menudo but today it tasted great.. love the migas !

Marc Chirico

The Don Juan is an Austin breakfast staple. Awesome coffee . I always tell myself I'll get something different but I always go for the Don Juan. It feeds me for 3 days.

Michael Alderete

The Don Juan grande taco is certainly grande, as in huge. And it's very good for what it is—the perfect dish for a couple starving students. It's loaded with potatoes , and very filling.

DJ Ku Rx

The portions are huge! The food is great. Currently the record is 13 Tacos eaten in one sitting.

Austin 360

Juan in a Million is an East Austin staple, having opened its doors more than 30 years ago. It's packed during lunch and on the weekends, but their breakfast taco called the Don Juan is worth it. Read more

Brittney Potter

Great breakfast tacos and great price points! Also their salsa is super spicy which I love.

Kara Carpenter

You haven't lived until you've eaten here. If I had four thumbs id give four thumbs.

Aaron Motsinger

There's only one way to go, and that's with the Don Juan...eggs, potatoes , cheese and bacon w/ tortillas . Somehow, they make something so simple taste so good. Often turns into two meals for ~$6.

Linda Felter

We weren't sure what we were getting into when we walked in. But the Don Juan (HUMONGOUS breakfast tacos served all day) was well worth the lack of atmosphere! Get extra tortillas .

Kristen Keys

Everyone says get the Don Juan (and we do often). But if you're not in a DJ frame of mind, get a egg/potato/bean taco . Absolutely delicious and a bit more manageable. Add salsa and you are set.

Nicole Ribaudo

If you order the Don Juan (which you should), make sure to get extra tortillas !

Justin Breton

Don't come here for the decor and atmosphere (it's a little sketchy )... Come here for the Don Juan Tacos ! They're incredible. Skip the guacamole , though. It tastes like Play Doh. #austineats

Nathalie A

Incredible value for money . The breakfast taco is big enough to share and costs $6. It's also delicious.

Linda Sam

I heard raves about this place and its true! Homestyle cooking. The Carne Guisada was great! My personal fave is the breakfast taco : nopales with egg .

Social News Network

Just order the Don Juan, for less than $5 it's epic. I recommend sharing with a friend and ordering extra tortillas . Juan Meza, the owner, is usually hanging around too.

CultureMap Austin

A Don Jaun taco and a cold glass of horchata (sweet rice milk ) is a great way to start the morning. Clear your taco plate as many times as you can to make the hall of fame!

Social News Network

Get the Don Juan! It's huge and it's cheap ! Make sure to get there early if you're going on the weekend. It tends to get packed fast!

Brandon Buffington

Don Juan with at least 3 extra tortillas and either horchata or Mexican soda is the way to do it right. Be sure to shake Juan's hand when you see him. He might be the best restaurant owner in Austin!

Cheapism

One of the more popular places to get breakfast in Austin. Breakfast taco 's start at $1.95 and the “Don Juan” El Taco Grande is enough to feed two for only $3.80. Ask for extra tortilla 's. Read more

John Harrison

Very authentic and cheap like Mexican food should be. A loyal and friendly staff , and amazing food.

Mike Torres

Incredible portions. Mexican homestyle at its best. Expect to order more tortillas .

Joey Carmello

Don't get cocky and order a Don Juan + another taco to try. The Don Juan will own you.

캐쉬 문

The breakfast tacos are not, NOT the small breakfast tacos you get anywhere else! They are huge and super cheap .. Not to mention delicious :) The tortillas are really fresh as well .

Austin Chronicle

These easy-on-the-wallet, plentiful platters have delivered many Austinites from hangovers and Tex-Mex hankerings since 1980. For $4.50, the "Don Juan" El Taco Grande will challenge you to a duel.

Dre Sanchez

1 lb TACO !! Amazingly delicious, definitely going back. Mr. Juan always with a warm welcome, the man is a boss!

Sam Melnick

The nopalitos and egg breakfast tacos are incredible. Also, they have the best horchata EVER!!!

Gavin Parker

Order the Don Juan for breakfast . It's a huge portion - don't be a hero!

Derek Flanzraich

Probably the best tacos I've ever had. But so cheap it makes me mad.

Alachia Queen

Their breakfast tacos are cheap , large, and best of all so delicious!

Drew Swearingen

Been eating there for 15 years. Juan remembers me and always ask how I'm doing. It's time to plan a road trip to the East side of town .

Jonathan Contreras

Split the Don Juan taco with someone and order extra tortillas . You'll get six good-sized tacos out of it for about $7.

Chris Vicente

The egg and potatoe omelet breakfast tortilla is soo filling

Rebecca Mazza

The breakfast tacos live up to all the hype. Nothing fancy but good, simple food. Timing is key here, because there could be a line .

Meagan ♑

Shook Juan's hand this morning and then carried my food baby from the famous Don Juan taco down the street to the car--parking was tight during sxsw.

Adam J.

Can't go wrong with the Don Juan... Order a couple of extra tortilla 's... and a side of onions & cilantro ... Perfection for breakfast !

Ben Thoma

Don't forget to try the restrooms for their sage wisdom and advice.

Dustin Schirer

Food is good, and the wait staff is awesome. Always a good place to grab some grindage.

deestiv

Get the Don Juan taco - HUGE, delicious, and cheap .

Mario Admon

Get the Don Juan! They're famous for it!!! It's a "taco " with eggs , bacon , potato , and cheese , can't go wrong.

Dianey Sandoval

Tacos are good... The Juan in a million can feed like 3 people... Prepare to take leftovers... And the wait time is never to long

Alyssa W

Get the special breakfast taco ! It's huge and delicious.

Vegetarians there is lard in the beans, tortillas and chips FYI. Nice service though and good horchata

Susie Sebastian

The Don Juan is so good. Try it with chorizo if you dare ????

Emily Charlton

Get a Don Juan. It's a classic Austin staple. I always get a side of pico de gallo to lighten it up.

AJ Weinberg
