A new Mexican restaurant is on its way to Johnson County, in the former home of a Cajun eatery.
Mexican eatery Don Chuy’s Fresh Mex and Cantina intends to move into a new Overland Park space, aiming for a spring opening.
Don Chuy’s will operate at 8725 Metcalf Ave.
- The restaurant will move into a space just off 87th Street and Metcalf Avenue, near B-Bop Comics and the Johnson County Arts & Heritage Center.
- KC Daiquiri Shop Bistreaux previously occupied the space, before it shuttered in fall 2023.
- Bistreaux operated there for two years, serving Cajun and Creole cuisine and colorful daiquiris.
Don Chuy’s serves ‘home-style’ Mexican fare
- The restaurant’s menu features a range of Mexican dishes, from enchiladas and quesadillas to tacos and burritos.

- The restaurant also features sweeter options, like fruity margarita flights and desserts like churros and chocolate lava cake.
This marks the first Don Chuy’s in Johnson County
- The Overland Park eatery will also be the restaurant’s first Kansas location, and its third location as a whole.
- The original Don Chuy’s Fresh Mex and Cantina opened in Knoxville, Tennessee, in
2022. - The eatery also has a location in Lee’s Summit, Missouri — its only other location in the greater Kansas City metro area.
