Familiar Mexican menu under a new name comes to W. Stadium

Local Mexican food aficionados will find something familiar when they open the menu at the new Don Juan Mexican Bar & Grill on Ann Arbor's W. Stadium Blvd. The recently opened restaurant serves many of the same dishes as owner Juan Hernandez's two area Los Amigos restaurants. 

 

That's good news, says manager Miguel Amaral, for fans of the restaurants who live across town. 

 

"People were really asking for this over here," says Amaral. "None of the businesses were on the west side. People were too far away."

 

With its brightly-colored walls and large, vibrant landscapes, Don Juan began answering that demand on Aug 26 when the new bar and restaurant opened. The restaurant, which seats 88 and offers take out, specializes in their parrillada entrée, a daily happy hour, and extended happy hour on weekdays. 

 

"Our happy hour is great, and I think we have very good food," says Amaral. "We try to have good service and have a homey, warm place. That way, people will want to come back."

 

Don Juan employs a staff of eight.
