Don Juan's, in the heart of Lexington, is a cool Mexican spot. They are open late, so you can easily go to the local breweries and enjoy some fantastic chips, salsa, and entries. The habanero salsa is the bomb, and it pairs so well with the cheese dip. I had the super enchiladas...fantastic! Friends had the pollo loco and the tacos Mexicanos. There were no complaints. Definitely worth the visit! read more

Employees everywhere. Stopped in for lunch. Chips a bit stale and salsa was mostly tomatoes, not much heat. I ordered huevos rancheros, hubby had chicken burrito. Compared to other places, servings weren't very large. Took a while to get waiters attention. He didn't bring out my tortillas. Not very impressed. read more

Grew up coming here, I enjoy it every time & over the years I get into new dishes which I always end up enjoying

This place has the best Mexican food I've had in NC. Everytime I've been has been great. I went with my pastor this past week and both of our meals were SO delicious. I got the ACP on beans instead of rice, with steak and the steak was melt in your mouth tender. She got the fish lunch special and it was so moist. The only reason for 1 star less was the margarita wasn't good haha. read more

I like their food, never had a problem with service either, I just wish the smell of food wasn't so bad, every time I leave I smell like I been inside the kitchen of the restaurant cooking. read more

The food and drinks are pretty good, Yelp 4 stars on the food for me. This includes the cheese dip, entree and the pitcher of margaritas. This is not a place where you get the menu with Speedy Gonzales or numbered options. The entrees are more upscale from the run of the mill Mexican restaurants. Prices are fair. Service is really good (5 star). You pay at the table via a handheld device. I did notice the bill had a QR code on it for paying as well. Might try that next time. Overall, I recommend. read more

The has to be some of the most freshest food. This is a great place to bring the family. The workers here love what they do and you can tell in the service read more

This place is pretty great! I really enjoy the fresh guacamole and fajitas. I personally don't like the cheese they use on anything I've tried (enchilada and quesadilla), so I stay away from anything with cheese. That being said, the fajitas are great! I like the one with the chorizo in it. Tons of flavor, such good seasoning. There was one time they overcooked them, but usually a hit! read more

Delicious! We ordered the Enchiladas (with five different fillings), the Nachos Especiales, and the Grilled Chicken Fajitas. All three were great and extremely filling. It was really a lot of food. I didn't care for the salsa - it was too watery - so I didn't have any extra chips. They would've been good with the refried beans. Also, I'm not big into corn tortillas, so I would've preferred them to offer the enchiladas with corn or flour. Service was quick and easy. I called in my order and it was ready in 15 minutes. Would absolutely go here again. Can't waut to tey something else! read more

This is our go-to spot for a good meal and great service. They staff is always so nice, patient, and knowledgeable. One of the best things is that the salsa here is friendly to people like me who has the "cilantro taste like soap" gene. read more

Excellent food and very reasonable prices. Fast service and friendly staff. Place is always packed, which is a good sign.

La comida riquísima rápida en salir y el precio es cómodo , buena atención les reciomiendo ser atendidos por Osman Alexander .

I have had a time looking for a taco salad and I found it here ! No add on required under $10 ! But next time I would order it 1/2 meat and 1/2 refried beans ! Then perfect ! My wife had enchiladas and they were good too ! We'll order a frozen Margarita to share next time ! Very affordable ! read more

If you're looking for decent Mexican food for dine in or takeout, Don Juan's is the spot in Lexington. Not as salty as some Mexican restaurants and the food is always on point. We recommend ACP, enchiladas or their awesome carnitas. The restaurant always feels clean and ambiance is welcoming. For the staff, they seem a little jumbled at times, but always nice. read more

This restaurant used to be a staple in Lexington. I just moved back to the area and ordered Togo over the phone for my family. The girl on the phone was very rude. We ordered 3 meals and queso and quacamole- our bill was 72$. I went in to pay and both girls running the cash register were not only unpleasant but they barely spoke. One of them brought our food out then took the bag with our chips and salsa back to the kitchen. She came back with the bag and handed them both to me without saying a word. She turned and walked away. THEY WERENT BUSY! 5 or 6 tables inside. We get home with our food and discover that the cheese enchilada had not been cooked or heated at all. Only rolled up and put in the container with cold beans. Our shrimp fajitas were warm but barely cooked. The chips She brought us were not only half full but STALE! 80$ later, we are cooking our own food and eating chewy chips. Yay. NEVER AGAIN. read more

Not sure how this place has 4 stars. Food was flavorless to say the least. We shared the steak and chicken fajitas. The skillet was deceivingly large. We estimated maybe 4 oz of meat, two whole onions and maybe 1/8 of a bell pepper. The beans had been so watered down it tasted like nothing. Shells were pretty good. The queso was cold when they brought it to the table. Service was pretty good at the beginning but had to wait forever for someone to get check. read more

My favorite spot! I stop by every time I am in the area and they never disappoint! Service is fast and the employees are all super nice! My personal favorite is the shredded chicken nachos (and yes I still eat the chips and salsa before , you can never have 2 many chips) read more

My mom and I stopped here while driving to NC. The food came out very fast, it was tasty, and there were large portions. We got fajitas and really enjoyed them. The restaurant was quite busy so the servers didn't spend a ton of time with us but they were really friendly and helpful. read more

Food is amazing , server's are always nice and friendly, the ambiance was good a bit mis matched but more focused on the food , thank you enjoy read more

This food is the best. This is where we choose to eat when we're craving Mexican food. We eat here quite often. They stay pretty busy though especially at nights. I have a hard time calling in an order to pick up because I can't get them to answer the phone. read more

This was a great dining experience. I've never been to this location before. They were slammed for Mother's Day lunch but the staff pulled through. The Habanero salsa was fire! The hottest I've had in the triad and was delicious! The chili poblano was one of the biggest I've ever received. I enjoyed it! read more

I didn't get what I had ordered. I ordered beef on my taco loco and on my nachos especial. I ended up getting pulled chicken. But the attendant served me well. She refunded my entire order. read more

Food is always great. Service was good. We enjoy this restaurant. We will be back time and time again. Can't go wrong here.

This is my favorite restaurant in the Triad! The food is always great, consistently delicious! The service is great as well, the servers are very attentive and make sure we have a great experience every time. I highly recommend Don Juan's! read more

Don Juan's Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Chicken Soup with extra avocado! - Mexican Near Me - Lexington, North Carolina

Food was not good past through on my way to Indianapolis tired and hungry was not impressed

While passing through NC on our way home to Atlanta, we met a friend at Don Juan's on a Monday night around 6 pm. The place was packed! My party of 3 had a 30 mins wait which was good considering there were people waiting both inside and outside. According to the locals, I was told it's the best Mexican restuarant in town. Although I was pressed for time, I'm a sucker for good food so I opted to wait. We were seated in a booth near the bar. There isn't much space between tables but the resturant still had a cozy feel. The bar was a decent size and I was extremely impressed with the cleanliness of the overcrowded dining area and bathroom. All of the staff was friendly. Our waiter was fast while being amicable as well. I ordered the Seafood fajitas, which came out sizzling. The seafood included shrimp and fish. Thankfully, the fish was not tilapia which I usually see on the menu at a lot of Mexican resturants, I think it was flounder. The shrimp were a good size and the fish was cooked perfectly. My friend had the Mexican pizza and didn't have anything good to say about it. My niece loved her chicken chimichanga. Don Juan's is a great spot to take the family, a date, or just meeting up with friends for food and drinks. Fresh food, the prices are reasonable and the portions are large. If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely stop in. read more

This is one of the few restaurants in Lexington that I can order a vegan meal and be offered more than white shredded lettuce and balsamic vinegar! (You'll only get that if you're actually vegan!) I can order just about anything I want on the menu and make it vegan - enchiladas, burritos, tacos, nacho salad, taco salad, you name it. It is clean, they effortless move through SO many people, either call in orders, or in person. It has a great atmosphere, authentic and contemporary. But be warned, they are so popular, if you don't get there in between busy times, you may not find a parking space! It is in a plaza, so my only recommendation to the company would be to find yourself some property and build us a new Don Juan's even bigger with more parking so we can bring our friends! read more

This place is very much average from the decor to the food. We went on a Sunday in May around 11:45am. The wait staff we had were fine. Nothing great but very much not interested in who we were. I ordered the Mexican pizza and it was very bland and thrown together. Nothing really had any flavor at all. If they would take that next step this location has a decent chance of becoming great place to eat. Maybe wait staff could make guac dip at the table. Don't be afraid of spice. You know how to use it- i can somewhat taste it. The potential is real! read more

This is our go to when I am too lazy to cook. It's your basic American Mex jumble of ingredients re-ordered into 2000 menu items. Cant says its any different than a billion other places just like it but its packed every night & they have a few locals that eat here almost every night. I do LOVE their Chile Rellenos or Stuffed Poblanos as they call them. The charred and skinned poblanos are generously stuffed with gooey melted cheese and dipped in a light airy batter. I also get them with a side of grilled shrimp and fresh avocado with the secret house habanero salsa....NOM NOM NOM! for that alone they get an extra star. Its a busy place so its loud & services can be harried but friendly. Ask for Brice- such a sweet hard working kid. read more

Finally decided to order something new today. I was very impressed! My friend and I shared the avocado and pico appetizer and the entree of whole fried tilapia which is not on the menu. If you're a seafood lover you need to try this with the habanero salsa. So good! read more

Came here one night to meet a part of my now fiancé's family... and while the atmosphere is cool... and the service we had was decent... the food was really not that great. I know a lot of locals rave about this spot but because I'm honest, I don't see what the hype is about. Food was bland land all the way. I ordered the enchiladas, which is one of the most simple foods in the Hispanic world of cuisine to make... like you couldn't screw it up, but somehow... they managed to. So darn bland... I had my fiancé finish the plate for me and left wanting to go to even to Taco Bell to satisfy my hunger. Call me critical if you want but hey... from one Latina to whomever is reading this... you're better off going to the darn Bell before coming here. Unless you're a fan of bland-land... by all means. read more

Went to Don's Today for the first time and we are not locals and can't wait to come again. Our server David was the best server we have had in a while. We dine out at least once a week and love Mexican this is definitely a place that I would recommend to anyone wanting a great atmosphere and service. Being of Spanish heritage I have a very high standard for Mexican food and this did not disappoint. Very traditional Mexican food. The cleanliness was 100%. Great outside patio and music. read more

Haven't been here in almost 4years. I live further away and stay close to home. Today we decided to come here and try my old favorites. For an appetizer we started with hamburger empanadas light soft dough with just enough cheese. For my entree I had Chile poblano with a pork tamale and salad. My husband had the slim special that consisted of chicken and shrimp with freshly cooked veggies and a side of rice! Good portions at a great price!!! read more

We aren't from the area and decided on Mexican. Food was good and hot. Waiter was very pleasant. Bathroom was clean and the restaurant itself was clean. I would recommend. read more

Crazy fast service, always good when we go. Best margaritas I've ever had. The big cheese dip is really big (get the small for 2 people).

It was my first time eating here, and I must say the food was pretty good. The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly and attentive. A few cons though, It is a little dark in the restaurant for my liking, and there isn't a lot of space. The tables aren't that big, but overall, it was a good experience. read more

This place is great! Definitely the best Mexican restaurant in Lexington, NC. The staff is very friendly (especially the managers) and the service is good. Expect fair prices for delicious Mexican cuisine. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it! This restaurant has a comfortable feel that will make you want to stay for hours. Although the food is delicious, I have experienced an occasional stale taco shell. I've also noticed that their fried ice cream has gone down hill. These things are minimal, but worth noting. With that said, I strongly recommend Don Juan's. You won't be disappointed. read more
