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!
