EATING OUT AS A WAY OF LIFE
DISHES COMPATIBLE WITH THE ROCK AND ROLL LIFESTYLE

The “Don Juan” Breakfast Taco at Juan in a Million

One may make the mistake of thinking that I am writing about the “Don Juan” breakfast taco because Juan in a Million is one of our advertisers, not because I go there constantly in my quest for rock and roll sustenance. On the contrary, Juan in a Million is one of our advertisers because I’m in the place so often; I have delusions that I am Juan Meza’s son. By making a point to shake the hand of every customer in his restaurant, Juan has not only taken an old rule of business to extremes, but has created an atmosphere of friendliness and comfort in his restaurant that cannot be found anywhere else in town. You could argue that the good vibes Juan in a Million exudes out to the surrounding community are more important to the food served there. Nonetheless, the $2.75 “Don Juan” breakfast taco, gargantuan in size, is an absolute must for rockers throughout Austin. With a secret mixture of eggs, potatoes, bacon and cheese, Juan in a Million has created the consummate breakfast and/or late lunch. Not only is this truly a cure for the after-party blahs (perhaps the potatoes soaking up toxins in the bloodstream?), but the taco itself is large enough to tide any partier over until late that evening, when the vicious cycle begins again.
