What started as a breakfast restaurant in 2014, La Casa de Don Juan has expanded its menu to add new dimension. Breakfast is still primary with any kind of egg dish you would expect in this truly Mexican fonda, such as eggs with steak or mole or omelets with choice of ingredients. They also have menudo (tripe with white or red sauce with cilantro, onion, oregano, and lime) and chicharrones (fried pork skin) served in a red sauce. Patrons can take advantage of a midday prix fixe meal that includes soup of the day or green salad; two choices of sides such as baked potato, vegetables, pasta, Mexican rice, or beans; and an entrée (the selection includes the fish of the day either grilled or batter fried, shrimp fixed in a similar manner but with a spicy Diablo sauce, chicken breast stuffed with spinach, chicken or fish fingers with French fries, chiles rellenos, taquitos, a popular pork dish called cochinita pibil, and two beef dishes) for less than $15 U.S. On my occasion, the soup was a simple, healthy chicken broth with veggies and rice (good for whatever ails you), a healthy nopal salad made of chopped cactus with tomatoes and onions, and chiles rellenos—all of which goes well with beer or tequila. There is also a wine list available. Dessert might be a choice of fried bananas or rice pudding. Seating can be in air-conditioning that includes a balcony or alfresco. Transpeninsular service road just past City Express Hotel, Cabo San Lucas, (624) 105-9339. Tues.–Sun. 7 a.m.–5 p.m. MasterCard and Visa accepted.
