Don Juan- Long Beach

The must anticipated Mexican Restaurant Don Juan opening this week in Long Beach. on Park Ave.
A large very lovely decorated place with mexican hats on the walls, posters & fun large comfy banquets for   2 or 4 & lots of  tables & a great  bar.
The place  was Jamming!!!!!!!!!!  Not an empty table,   and from what   I was told by the manager, its been like that since they opened last Thursday- every table was taken.

Not a bad wait however, about 20 minutes. The menu is    HUGE!  A large long two sided menu filled with authentic mexican fare, including  a very nice guacamole of course- not table side but equally     good,and always a great thing to order when you first sit  as they give you a large warm basket of  tortilla chips & a spicy salsa when you are seated.

Apps- too many to mention them all , but there are quesadillas, nachos, flautas, empanadas, tacos, etc.  and then  sampler platters as well.
The entrees are  also authentic fare ranging from   combo    platters  with your choices of three of the following: tacos ( meat, chicken, or veggie,)  burritos, enchilladas, chimichangas, and more , all served with rice & refried  beans. There are steaks, shrimp, chicken and many vegetarian dishes as well.
You can also ordered black  beans as a side for a few dollars more, which is my preference. The fajitas   come with a generous side of rice, beans and sour cream, and the portions are plentiful.

A fun place that  will most  definitely  will attract a young beach going crowd in the summer months with their bar serving icy cold margaritas,  great martinis, many types of beers, and of       course, mixed     drinks &   wine.  Prices are extremely reasonable !

A new fun  dining spot in Long Beach is always   welcome!
