A true East Austin institution since 1980, Juan in a Million is famous for the Don Juan taco — a massive flour tortilla stuffed with eggs, potato, bacon, and cheese that could feed two people. Owner Juan Meza is often on-site greeting regulars, and the atmosphere is warm, family-run, and deeply rooted in the neighborhood's Mexican-American culture. Weekend waits can be long but the price and authenticity are unmatched.
