Don Juan Mex Grill

Melanie Martinez is a co-owner of Don Juan Mex Grill on March Street, which has been open for four years.

Me: "Why a Mexican restaurant, and why College Hill?"
Melanie: "We had this concept for a long time that we were looking for, and we found this location, and it's great--right next to the college here, as well as that we love the community, so we decided on this area. A Mexican restaurant is something we always wanted to do."
Me: "Is there a specific dish that's your specialty? What would you recommend?"
Melanie: "Umm, we're fast casual, so we do tacos, burritos and bowls--that's simple, and our carnitas are excellent. People who usually have them, they don't change and they stick to that."
