Reviews for Don Juan Cafe Restaurant in Syracuse, NY
Great food and fast service. Portions are larger, you won't be disappointed!
This place was really good. The price for all the food you get I'd perfect. Had the beans, yellow rice,carnitas and yuca! All... very savory and delicious. Would definitely come back and have no problem giving it my #gorditoapproved #fatboyapproved Read more

Tried this place for my first time today for lunch. My daughter in law and son has been there several times and from what I... understand, they were very happy with it. When I arrived, there was a line of approximately 6 people waiting to place theirorder at the counter. The line went fairly fast. About a 7 min wait. As I got closer to the counter I could see the nice displayof all the different foods. The area looked clean, the food was nicely organized and looked very appetising!. I was planningon getting the pulled pork plate with beans and rice. However, the lady in front of me ordered the pepper steak combo and theyput so much meat in it they could hardly close the lid!! Well, that was enough for me to ask for "the same as the lady infront of me" order! Well, I didn't quite get the same proportions as she did! Lol. I recieved a nice scoop of rice, few beanson top, and about 1/4 of the amount of meat as the lady in front of me?? Now, here is the big kicker. When I went to pay, Iwas charged $15.12. I asked why the lady in front of me who had the same thing was charged less? ( She handed them a $10 and gotchange back). I was told that it was because she ordered a small!!?... So, apparently the smalls are less costly even thoughthey come with much more meat??? Lol. Perhaps it's because I was wearing a shirt and tie, non spanish speaking and pale?? Lol...anyway, took the food back to the office, it was still quite hot. It did not have a ton of flavor that I was hoping some authentic Puerto Rican food would have. The meat was tender but only had 2 very small slices of peppers in my portion. The riceand beans were tasty enough for a side. It was decent, but nothing really special. I may go back and give it a second chance, but perhaps I'll go with my less pale daughter in law and have her order?? Lol. Read more

Pork Chops or Pernil is ABSOLUTELY some of the best I have EVER had. I have had some of the best Spanish food growing up in... Brooklyn. This place is hands down the best I have EVER had in upstate NY. If I could give ten stars, I would give ten stars...yep, they are THAT good. Read more
I love this place hands down the best Puerto Rican restauran in the town. 5 stars from me everytime I visit.
Great Puerto Rican food! You have to get there in the afternoon when the food is fresh and hot. The area is a little sketchy but... worth the visit Read more
