The Thrilla in the Tortilla

Juan in a Million

2300 E. Cesar Chavez, 512/472-3872

It seems somewhat of a misnomer to call the Don Juan a mere breakfast taco. The huge potato, egg, bacon, and cheese namesake of owner Juan Meza is a legend, a raison d'être, maybe even a whole universe in a tortilla. Rumor has it that William Kidd buried his treasure in a Don Juan, and that Bette Midler was thinking of it when she sang "Wind Beneath My Wings." If all that sounds hyperbolic, well, maybe you just haven't ordered one.
