Don Juan's Cantina: A Taste of Authentic New Mexican Cuisine in Park Ridge

The staff is super friendly, food is amazing! Their carne assada old school and chocolate creme brûlée are incredible! Margaritas during happy hour are only $7 (fridays 3-5pm), highly recommend

A fun evening of good drinks, great food and friendly welcome. It was lovely meeting the owner Maria, she was so sweet to talk to us and we could see how she had been successful all these years. Looking forward to returning!

I'm here to give props for the absolutely amazing meal we had at this restaurant a few nights ago. Ordered 3 dishes from the specials menu; creamy poblano pepper soup for a start was fantastic. Just the right spice level and thickness, and something that I and my partner had never experienced before. Her birria tacos were outstanding, tender stewed beef with fresh home made corn tortillas. I took a gamble and ordered the meatloaf... at a Mexican restaurant?? Yes, and it was crazy good. Rich, sweet, salty, and a little spicy along with it's side of spicy, thick, creamy mac and cheese. Service was good and drinks were strong. Really have enjoyed our food here in the past, and will be back again.

What a treat! Service was polite and efficient. Food was fresh and delicious. Sangria was tasty and potent! Couldn't recommend it more.

The food is always great, awesome homemade specials, and the margarita's are always on point. The owner Jake is always so accommodating as well!

The owners Jake and Mike accepted me into their restaurant with open arms as Marco gave me one of the most refreshing strawberry mojitos I've ever had(and I get them alot). This location was created after Jake's mom's(Maria) originalr restaurant shut down. She created an absolutely stunning menu and this location has my heart. They let me sit at the bar and indulged me with their hospitality. Highly recommend this place for cocktails or for an authentic Mexican meal. 5 stars during their hospitable lunch hour that had me wanting to come back for more.

The owner came up to us and asked if we had been there before. We told her it was our first time, and we were heading to Ohio. We told her it was rated high, and that’s why we stopped. Boy, we were not disappointed! The margaritas were perfect, and I am very picky about margaritas, as well as the food. Would definitely go back there. My picky husband actually like the mole’ con pollo!

Lovely lil fun place for lunch! The atmosphere takes the edge off from a stressful morning. Not your "typical" salsa...it's a good change up! The salad was huge!!! And the Camarones De Coco has a sweet heat to it! The heat comes afterward; but it's divine! Ensalada De La Casa w/ grilled chicken Baha Fish Taco Camarones De Coco (3) Baha Fish Taco
