The story
Don Juan is a no-frills Condesa institution that has been dishing out generously stacked tacos since the 1980s. As Only Scrans noted during a 48-hour food crawl through the city, this is a spot where you serve yourself, adding to its old-school, walk-in-friendly charm. The setting is humble, the focus squarely on what lands on your plate.
The appeal lies in those self-serve, piled-high creations. Among the standout options are the Meat and Cheese Taco and the Steak and Ham Taco, both earning approval from the creator for their hearty proportions. It’s a local, street-food classic that proves loud-and-fast flavor needs no reservation—just an appetite.

AI summary of what 2 dish mentions say about the food
Don Juan’s steak and ham taco earns singular praise, with reviewers calling the food hearty and satisfying. The overall vibe is warm, unfussy comfort.
“This one is the steak which I put tomato base salsa on. It also has what looks like ham. They stack the tacos very full. Double tortilla just so you can hold it because the filling is so weighty. You get real bang for your buck.”

Meat and Cheese Taco
It's meat then they fry the cheese on top of the meat. Really nice spice level on the salsa. Meat, juicy, and that cheese sets the whole thing alight.
