Is there anything on the menu that is not Mexican for those people who don't like Mexican food?
TIA

Re: Don Juan Restaurant in Westbury
this is what i found when i googled the restaurant:
This place offers burgers, a couple of pasta dishes and some traditional appetizers for those who prefer. The menu otherwise is Mexican through and through. The menu offers specials and combinations that are numbered so if you don't want to try your Spanish accent abilities you can simply say your number item. There are 37 numbers besides fifteen or so Aperitivos. The appetizers are what you might expect. Nachos, Quesadas, Guacamola (get this made at the table if you want it), Jalapeno Poppers, and other items like Fried Calamari, Mozzarella Stix, Tiajuana Tenders, and Inferno Wings. There's even more.
We usually just stick with the nacho chips and dip that are brought to the table and order a round of drinks right away. We have orderer the Quesados Don Juan that are a pretty good start.
The menus offerings are pretty much what you would expect with Burrittos, Enchiladas, Tostadas, and Quesadillas. It's all pretty good but I must say that the Fajitas are excellent. You can get them with strips of marinated grilled steak, Chicken or Shrimp. I'm partial to the steak.
They have a combination Fajita plate at $21.95 that gives you all three. If you want to try something a bit different try the Salmon Fajita at $24.95.
Another favorite of mine that I have had better elsewhere, but continue to order here is their Paella Con Langosta. This rice dish with Lobster, Shrimp, Clams Mussels, Scallops, Sausages, and Chicken goes for a whopping $29.95 or $49.95 for two. It's a nice full meal. Remember you are paying a bit for the show.
The truth is I don't go to Don Juan's just for their food. if that were the case I wouldn't be going there as often. This isn't the food you can find while down in Play del Carmen, Mexico on their Fifth Ave or smaller side streets. It is good, though overpriced. But again, It's the Party!
