Sunday brunch is such a good deal here my husband always orders it , I like ordering from the menu. I ordered a bowl of menudo and a side chili relleno & beans , it was delicious . Everyone on our table was happy with their meals and cocktails .

I just got back from dinner at Old Juans.Ive eaten there on and off for over 20 years. There were periods of time when the food was borderline terrible but as of today I can only say good things about Old Juans. The food is better than ever. Our waitress was fantastic. The atmosphere was uplifting. Alot of restaurants in the 5 cities area have gone under or have lost their quality since Covid but Old Juans just keeps getting better. Prices are more than fair as well. Best place on the Central Coast for Mexican food and great rum and coke!

We are here in Christmas Eve day . Rudy our server was awesome ! The salad dressing in the house salad was perfect ! My husband had carne asada tacos and he loved them We will be back

Go here often for good Mexican food! Service is usually good and fast. I have tried many plates and menu items here but my favorite is the asada wet burrito with the green sauce

We haven't been to Old Juan's in several years since we live over 4 hours away. Since we were in town, we knew we had to see if the food and service was still as Great as it used to be. The place seamed to be remodeled since I was there last and the watress was very polite. I could not believe how AWESOME the chicken enchaladas were. Better than I remember. We will go back again before we leave Pismo.

Great vegan options!!! Friendly service and a nice atmosphere as well. Our baby approves of the guacamole

I have been here so many times and quit going due to a couple of bad meals and watered down margaritas. My vegetarian daughter and I shared the Jack fruit fajitas and they were delicious! They were $30 so I'm glad we shared as there was even enough leftovers for her to take home. Finally, a really great vegetarian meal

My honey bunny and I were looking for a place to do Taco Tuesday with and came to OJC. The place was clean, our server was good, and the food was also okay. I got their featured shrimp tacos; there's nothing to write home about. I couldn't figure out if they were fried or what. Some were coated, and some weren't. Maybe three shrimp on a street taco shell, a little sauce, cilantro, and nothing more. It looked all chopped up, it was hard to tell how many shrimp were on it. My honey bunny got two tacos with a beer for $10.00, which was also ok. I know their food is good, and you get great serves, food comes out fast, but we just weren't impressed with their Taco Tuesday specials.

We ate here on May 14th. It was good. The food was served hot and had flavor. The rice was perfect. Loved their salsas and that they are chunky! Wait staff was good at suggesting and keeping the drinks full and asking if we had room for dessert. This place is quite large and lots of seating both tables and booths. Even has a party section. Very nice place.

Good service, huge portions, and yummy margaritas!! Great casual lunch/dinner spot with quick service. We were seated immediately and our server was very polite. The tamales were delicious! Highly recommend
