Juan’s calls itself a “Creole Taqueria,” and that’s a darn good description. They use New Orleans Rum in their various fruit-flavored mojitos, and their daily specials often involve some sort of fresh, Louisiana-caught seafood. The vibe of the restaurant is half-punk, half-Mexican folk art, and the margaritas and salsa are both top notch. Try the Mardi Gras Indians tacos with roasted corn, pintos and grilled squash, or the Juaha Roll, a tortilla filled with chicken salad, veggies and cheese and sliced sushi-style. There’s also a location in MidCity.
