Juan In A Million, traditional Mexican food served up daily in Austin, Texas

All clever numerical, linguistic punning aside, this restaurant offers patio dining, rooms to accommodate private parties, and excellent, tempting, mouth-watering Tex-Mex cuisine that has earned Juan In a Million five stars from user reviews. The sizzling salsa that is a house specialty is reputed to be nothing short of addictive.

There are two ways to eat at Juan in a Million, one of the most popular Tex-Mex restaurants on Austin's East Side: With salsa. Without salsa. The fiery, addictive tomato sauce -- which is among the hottest in town -- sets the tone for a meal at this breakfast-and-lunch spot. Singe those sensors, and the food that follows seems spicier than it is, and the subtle nuances of flavor disappear.... more

Eat at this local favorite for true Mexican flavor with a friendly handshake on the side.

In Short Booths line walls where authentic Mexican paintings hang next to the tiles. A relaxed crowd that's sick of 30-minute waits at trendier Mexican diners crams into two rooms packed with seating. While free chips and salsa are served with every entree, the chili queso is an appetizer must. Most entrees are served with a side of charro beans on weekdays and refried beans on... more

Juan in a Million :(. I had remembered it being good, it was awful. Canned beans, canned tinny tasting green enchalada sauce, mushy totillas and bland bland bland! Carne Guisada that tasted like bland pot roast. I guess the TV fame went to their heads. Thumbs down, both of them. Long wait for bad food.

Pros

+ Great location

Cons

- Long wait for bad food.

Real hole in the wall type of place that gets PACKED. Not so surprising, the food is excellent. In particular, the salsa... truly the best salsa i've ever had.

Not a big fan of their refried beans though. Last few times have been a bit off. Doesnt matter since their breakfast tacos is what makes them golden.

I've never ordered anything other than the breakfast tacos there.. its that good.

I was down visiting a friend in Austin, and had my first experience with breakfast tacos at Juan In A Million. Nowhere else can you get a breakfast taco that even compares to what they offer.
