I visit Port Aransas at least a dozen times a year, maybe more. I try to eat at San Juan every time. Their lengua tacos are fabulous! I also love the pastor. The staff are great and the service is always fast and good. When you get done, be sure to get a "paletta", which is a Mexican ice cream... More

That was about the best we could say about this place. We both had Chicken Fajita plates. The rice was way overcook, the chicken seemed like it was boiled, yet it was covered in some sort of oil, A lot of oil. I am by no means a picky eater, but the meal was just plain bad. The waiter took... More

You can get wonderful food and service any time at San Juan's Mexican food restaurant!This is my husband's favorite place for breakfast! Always crowded and great service! Best Mexican food place in the area for lunch or dinner too!

During our trip we ate dinner here twice & breakfast twice. You always get lots of food & the prices are very reasonable. It is a very casual, friendly atmosphere. The Queso dip is awesome! Don't miss eating here when you are in Port A!

I like this place. It fits a nitch that some towns can only dream of having. If you go to nashville the best authentic mexican food is at a place called" the bean barn." here closer to the border we have a great menu of authgentic dishes cooked just as the mexicans get from Their mamacitas.

This place was recommended to us, but was a huge disappointment. The breakfast items were not cooked to our liking, and the portions were small. No waiters coming by to check on us during our stay.

We have dinner here at least once a week. The wait staff is superb and the food is excellent. I love taking the family to "Juan's". I call it the best overall restaurant on the island. Great for the whole family.

Best breakfast deal ever. 2 eggs, 2 bacon strips, 2 pancakes for $3.29. They also have awesome Migas. Coffee isn't so great but the service is FAST. Don't get discouraged if the parking lot is full. You'll still get your breakfast in no time!

We had a wonderful meal, the best tortilla soup I've ever had, homemade tortillas and great enchiladas. A little loud and the women's restroom needed attention but it was very busy. Otherwise we were extremely satisfied!
