Clean, seat yourself Fantastic food. We especially loved the hot bean dip. Portions were large and very flavorful. The perfect restaurant to have lunch or dinner in Old Glendale read more

Came here with my son for a little breakfast before church. Over server Miriam was great and attentive but not too much Place was nice and clean. Good music playing. We shared a bowl of menudo and it was good. They had a perfect balance of hominy and tripe so you could get a spoon full of both ingredients. And they give a whole plate full of cilantro and diced onion topping and not just a small 2oz cup. The corn tortillas were nice and hot which is rare cuz every time I get menudo anywhere they are if at best warmish. I always forget this place is here even tho our church is literally down the block a bit. I'll be coming back to test their pozole next read more

Second time here and it didn't disappoint. Service is always fast even when it's a little crowded. Shout out Ana our waiter, she is great! My wife got the taco bowl and I got the albóndigas. The soup was super flavorful and came with tortillas and rice. Not a fan of the tortillas but other than that, love love love this dish. My wife got the taco bowl for the first time with steak and she really enjoyed what the bowl came with in general. However, the dressing it comes it doesn't really match the flavor of what the bowl has so she was happy to ask for it on the side. We think this dish would shine with a cilantro like dressing instead or a southwestern creamy sauce. The one it comes with taste like thousand island dressing. Otherwise she was very happy with the bowl and added the green salsa which is another yummy thing here. Totally recommend if you are in old downtown Glendale read more

Food looks good online, but that's where it ends. Beans were weirdly sweet, rice was bland, tamale was burnt, fajitas tasted like soy sauce, guac had no flavor, chicken tacos were dry, and the street tacos were less than mid. Our bill also jumped from $75 to $79 with no explanation. This place screams "we're struggling." I won't be back -- Chipotle is a better use of my money. read more

I have left a previous review of 5 stars in the past, please know this. The food quality has always been great-no complaints there. This new review simply stems from a poor interaction via phone call with a gentleman named Alex today. I had ordered food via Grubhub, and I received the order in a sealed bag. I had to tear the bag open, so I know it was packed and sealed by the establishment itself. I was missing a complete menu item, which was to be my lunch. I had already submitted the request thru GrubHub, who kindly refunded me the cost of the item that was missing. I called the restaurant to see if they still perhaps, had the item, and could I still get it? If not, can I re-order? I spoke to Alex, and he immediately seemed off-put when I mentioned the missing item. Then, he all-of-a-sudden remembered perfectly, and he started back-tracking on his words, and he was quick to accuse the GH delivery driver of swiping the item. I explained to him that I received a very sealed bag, and there is no way ANY driver could have tampered with it and perfectly re-sealed it. He STILL insisted the delivery driver must have stolen the item. Not cool. I am very understanding of humans making mistakes. It happens!! His complete lack of accountability was quite shocking though, and I don't like that he was so quick to try to pin his error on the delivery driver. Own your mistakes with honesty and integrity, would be my advice. read more

Ok, first time here on a Saturday morning for breakfast around 9:30 and we were the only people here, don't understand it and here is why. My wife read that they have Gallina Pinta caldo and she has never seen it before at a Mexican food restaurant and she grew up with this so we to try it. She said it was "damned good" her words lol. We tried their red beef tamales and they were delicious, I'm picky about masa and these were very good. I had chorizo and eggs and the chorizo was not greasy and was very flavorful. They are served with homemade potatoes and breads which were very good as well. Their "Early Bird" breakfast special is unbeatable. Scrambled eggs, homemade potatoes, pancakes and bacon for only $6.95, yes, I said only $6.95. We need to blow this place up with customers so please spread the word. read more

Great spot! I had the beef burrito enchilada style and it was excellent--huge portions and full of flavor. The margaritas are also generously sized and taste great. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to read more

Service is good, soups are good relaxing atmosphere. Will be back. Just missing the Guyana Pinta!

My experience was for 2 dinners to be delivered. We received one dinner. When I called the restaurant they immediately admitted they let the driver leave without them completing the order.They offered me a phone number to Postmates for a refund. I felt sad and depressed being left at 7:00 pm without dinner. And I just paid $40. I was hoping they'd offer to deliver since I was 7 miles away. Nope: They told me to contact Postmates for a refund. Not stepping up after their mistake is low. They could have offered a free dinner in the future or something. They did admit they were at fault. But also blamed the delivery guy. I found that low also. read more

First timer - yay! First, service was subpar for a sit down restaurant. Based on this alone I would give a 1 star. The food -- was good. 1st basket of chips was overly salty but the replacement was delicious! Salsa was good but the "bowl" was hard to dip with. Little thing but could be better. Don Juan combo was delicious - enchilada and taco were delish!! Would order this again! Carne asada fries were skimpy for the price -- hardly any meat and fries were not very crisp. Would not order again. Red pesole was omg yummy!! Order this on the weekend! So good!! Beef was so tender!! Overall food was good, service was disappointing. Refills were non existent. If in the area I would try again... read more

First time at Don Juan's Mexican Grill in Downtown Glendale. What a pleasant surprise! Ordered a cheese quesadilla with green chile strips to share with offspring. Served with a side of guac and sour cream. It was perfectly cooked and very tasty. Complimentary chips with both red and green salsa. The green salsa has onion and celantro and a bit milder. We ordered two red chili burritos, a bean and cheese burrito, and two shredded beef soft shell tacos to go for the rest of the crew. All were very good. The red chili burritos had tender chunks of beef. Sofia was out server and was great. Place was clean and had an open airy dining space. Lots of local folks dining for Sunday lunch. All good here! read more

Stopped for the Horchata. Atmosphere is a little tacky. Too many chairs, too many menu options, which is not always a positive. Ximena, our server was very pleasant, and knew the menu. She sold us on the cow tongue tacos Well, you know I had to try it. You can get 4 different kinds of tacos in one serving. The Pork and Steak tacos were ordinary. The Shrimp taco was good, but the Shrimp wasn't fresh, meaning it was frozen. The Cow Tongue Taco was the Star of the Dish. They seem to have a strong take out presence, and the place began to fill up as we ate. Overall, it was underwhelming, typical of Mexican food for me. I enjoyed the Horchata. They didn't fill the glass with ice. read more

Walking through Glendale we stumbled on my new favorite Mexican restaurant. It's very small, brightly lit and clean. The service has been great aside from some staff members that were "new" and couldn't answer our questions. The food is absolutely delicious. We've been back three times and have always loved the food. I get the fajitas, my son got the nachos, and even the French fries from my younger sons kids meal were outstanding. My wife's flautas were nice crispy and delicious. Prices are very reasonable and the restaurant is located nestled around lots of little stores and we've enjoyed spending the day around this restaurant. Definitely check it out if you are a fan of Mexican food. read more

We originally came down to eat at Cuff but they happened to be closed. It's located in downtown Glendale and a nice cozy spot. Service was friendly and we were served chips and salsa as soon as we sat. We ordered a caldo de pollo and pollo fundido. The food was ready fairly quickly and was nice and hot. The soup had plenty of veggies and 1 chicken drumstick. The broth unfortunately didn't have much flavor. The pollo fundido chicken while it was breast meat didn't have much flavor either. The beans were okay and the rice again not much flavor. Overall it might've just been our taste buds but neither of us were wowed by the food. Still happy to come support a local small business. Come give them a try as a lot others really enjoy it! read more

I thought this was pretty darn good Mexican food, without a bunch of salt added, which I appreciate! The spinach dip was really delicious and we almost licked the bowl clean. The deep-fried tacos are packed full of meat and the shell is nice, thin, and crispy. The tamales are impressively large and definitely homemade. Chips and salsa were both good and a nice big bowl of each so you don't have to keep asking for more. The server did a good job and the pricing was fair. We will definitely be back. Tequila was ok, although I asked for and was charged for reposado and it was silver instead, my bad, I drank it anyway. read more

Best Mexican food in town. My go to is the chile reñeno and enchiladas, but everything my table got looked great.

Best aguas frescas in down town Glendale. Highly recommend nana's enchiladas. Great atmosphere, very clean and attentive

We frequent the downtown Glendale area and tonight, this restaurant wouldn't let my two kids use the restroom unless they bought something. We purchased a water bottle and then the employee didn't give it to her without her having to ask for it. We won't be eating here anymore since the 2 dollar purchase was most important to them over the 100 we spend everyone we came here. Rude. The owner says it's for safety and to avoid damaged restaurant equipment. I call b.s. because they are simply make a profit off of children needing to use a restroom. read more

So we were just looking around downtown Glendale, had to use the restroom so bad and we were hungry anyways so we stopped at the first place we saw. Now I will say the staff were all pleasant but that's really all I can say that's positive. Yes they were somewhat busy so we expected to wait a little bit longer for our food. We have never been here before, I ordered the pollo fundido, my husband the tamales and my son a quesadilla. Our food took about 25 mins to get, which again we expected the wait. Pollo fundido had a jalapeño cream cheese and idk what it was about it but I didn't like it at all, the chicken had no flavor and the rice I mean idk how to explain the rice.. I took a bite and said wow like I felt like I took a bite out a garlic clove, but my husband took a bite of his and said this taste like chemicals. His tamales he didn't like at all either... so I hopped on Yelp to check out what others had said and when I seen the high ratings I was quite surprised. Idk if it was a bad cook night or what but we won't be back. read more

We are a 10-minute walk from DJ's and have frequented it regularly since it opened. The last 3 times we've been there, we've been served by a young lady named Esme. She is perhaps one of the most unfriendly servers we have ever encountered. She doesn't smile, doesn't look us in the eye and never takes time to chat with us, even though it's clear we're repeat customers. We wish we knew what tables Esme served because then we'd find a different table served by the other server, who's always friendly and laughing. While we've always enjoyed DJ's food, Esme and her attitude towards us as customers has now made this place a location we will no longer frequent. read more

Cute small business ! Went in for their Friday special! Got the carne Asada fajitas that come with rice and beans for $14! Also got a tasty carne Asada quesadilla and Fruta agua Fresca that was so good! They provide you warm chips and salsas ! Their service is so friendly ! read more

Omg...my husband and I are still experiencing tummy issues from last night 12/29 and a bad taste in our mouth after eating (not even finishing) this greasy food made with pure lard! I ordered a caldo de res, which normally cones with rice, limes, and onion cilantro, but nooo we had to pay extra for rice that came in a salsa bin! Then there was no fixings. Then we get charged $4.50 for chips and salsa because it's carryout and seriously the worst oversalted dry chips in a bag with grease seeping thru bag and awful salsas that were not fresh. Lastly, the meat in the caldo was just not clean. We pulled grizzle pieces over and over, but the worst part was the smell. Overpowering scent of old grease in container. Wow just disappointing for the 50 Bucks spent. Will not recommend... read more

Found this little Mexican restaurant in downtown Glendale. Nicely decorated and very clean inside. I ordered the Friday special which was steak fajitas. Rest of family ordered the chicken enchiladas and the Don Juan combo which was cheese enchilada and shredded beef taco. The fajitas were delicious! Very tasty and well cooked with onions and peppers. I guess the other dishes were "nothing special" and "ok". I would come visit this place again but don't think the family would join me. Lol. read more

Excellent food & service! I had the carne asada street tacos, hubby had beef enchiladas with beans and rice (snuck a bite of the rice...yum! Fluffy & flavorful.), friends had the chile relleno (she's picky on these & said this one was really good!), & al pastor street tacos. Everyone enjoyed their food. Good prices. Complimentary chips with two salsas (red & green). Both salsas good. Green spicy and addicting! Chips had a nice salt to them. Even on a busy night, host & waitress were great. Clean & bright place. Will be back! read more
