    Jumbo Peach Magarona.
    Monica L.

    I'm constantly on the hunt for a good taco joint. I don't care if it's in a random alley somewhere or in the back of a secret society store...I just want a fantastic, authentic, taco. IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK?! I didn't have any expectations really for this place, mostly because I haven't heard about it from people I ask. I was happy to see they had tacos al pastor! But was really disappointed when I did not care for it. The meat was dry, hot sauce overpowering and the same ratio of pineaepple chunks to pork? I don't think so, girlfriend. They make the guacamole in front of you customized to your liking which was great! I did enjoy that and the chips. I think I would return for the chips and guac and magaronas( (although I asked for my magarona frozen but it definitely wasn't frozen). I would have to think twice about an actual meal. Service was also pretty good--- she was very accommodating to my friends' requests. But I've definitely, definitely experienced better. Worth a shot, right? They do have salsa/bachata lessons Saturday nights! Makes a great place for people-watching. *magarona: 20oz margarita (flavor of your choice) + 7oz Corona

    Door dash Chimichanga Supreme…read more Pick 3 (two beef hard tacos and a chicken quesadilla) Large cheese dip We ordered this on DoorDash and it delivered fairly quick. The white cheese dip was amazing and the food delivered hot. Great Mexican spot for dinner.

    We decided on El Patron for 2 reasons: First - we had a Foodie Card for $10 off when you spend $30…read more Second - it is only about 10 minutes from home. I remember stopping by at one point last year, but the restaurant was not open due to renovations. We arrived by 5:30pm on a Tuesday; not very many people there at all. Not sure when El Patron opened for business, so we figured it must have been somewhat recent. Nicely decorated - nothing too elaborate or upscale, just nicely done. We ordered Chicken Fajitas and a 3 item combo plate (Chicken Chile Relleno, Beef Burrito, and Beef Tamale). Chicken Fajitas was mostly bell peppers and onions, but had a decent flavor. The Tamale had waaaaay too much masa, so it was almost cake-like (not a fan). Salsa was decent as was the Pico de Gallo. Prices weren't too bad considering the portions. Remember me saying one of the reasons we chose El Patron was due to the Foodie Card and the $10 discount after spending $30? Well, by the time we remembered the Foodie Card, our server had already processed the payment. Ugh! All-in-all, a decent Mexican restaurant. Won't be one of my go-to's when we get a craving for some food from South of the border, but we will go back to take advantage of our Foodie Card! Happy eating...

    Let me say, the portions are enormous! When I saw they wanted four dollars for a taco I was a bit…read moreoutraged, then the taco came to the table and it was not your average street taco. My sister-in-law and I shared a fried burrito with Al Pastor in it. The shit was fire! They make their own hot sauces in house. The waitress brought a creamy habanero sauce to the table that was still warm. Mad respect for that. It was delicious, but hot as hell. This place is a 12 year-old boys dream. It has such a cool nacho Libre vibe. I would've given it five stars except for a few small details. I really wish you could give 4.5. It just wasn't quite at that five star level. For me a five star level means all the food is executed. Well, the service is impeccable, the place is clean, and it's a good overall experience. There was nothing bad about this by any means. But it just wasn't quite five stars. The queso is not good. It has a decent flavor, but it is super watery. I also don't like that none of their giant burritos come automatically with rice and beans. If I am ordering a $14 burrito even if it's huge, it should really come with rice and beans. Also, I wish they had a few more appetizer options like Mexican street corn. While they did have some nachos, a few basic dips and some Ramen, I just feel like they could do a little more on the appetizer front. My sister-in-law and I split a burrito and usually what I would do is get an appetizer for us to share as well and there just wasn't anything. I will argue to the death. That queso is not an appetizer. It is a condiment. A delicious condiment. Like I said... 4.5 stars for this place the waitress was very helpful. I also wish you could mix and match three tacos for $12 or something like that and I also wish they had some happy hour drink specials.

Had a strawberry margarita that the bartender went around the rear of the bar to make. Weird but it tasted pretty good. The bartenders/servers were all friendly but not especially helpful. Just kept saying everything is good. Everything is good. Went basic n got small queso and a chicken quesadilla. My girl got a fajita, tamale, n rice n beans. Pretty good chips for the queso. Quesadilla was ok. My girl raved over the tamales n she even ordered a few to go. So ordered another round while we wait. Now this margarita tasted like straight margarita mix. Yuck. I was straight sober after 2. Later that evening my girl texts me she been on the toilet all evening. Change of shift comes and the bartenders mention happy hr. No mention of this when we arrived or anything. I didn't see anything on the menu about it or their website. I didn't order anything else at that point. New bartender that comes in around 3, not so friendly and puts reserved signs at the bar to save seats for her girls. Never seen this at a Mexican restaurant before but whatever. She seemed to go out of her way to NOT be friendly. Counted as a one off til I went back a few more times. Same bartender complaining about folks coming in an hour before closing, still unfriendly. Still for me, the food is just eh. Maybe its just the chicken that's not great because my man came n enjoyed some quesabirria tacos while I picked at a chicken taco. Don't recommend the margarita unless u pay extra for freshly made or better yet wait for Fronteras Mexican restaurant to open back up. I like friendly bartenders n good chicken. Average here.

She was so attentive and insightful, we took all of her requests and they were amazing. She was constantly checking in on us and gave us boxes, lids, and salsas to go which was amazing. She definietly was a big part of how great our experience was. The place was colorful and full of life which I loved. The "Steak a La Mexicana" was sensational, it was cooked to a perfect medium rare and the flavors were amazing. I requested the vegetables to be kept crunchy and they were perfect. They also give you large portion sizes of the beans, rice and salad all alongside a NY strip for only $17. Crazy good deal. We tried the Birria as that is what they seem to be known for and it was amazing and the consume was sensational, we asked for a side of it togo and we dipped everything in it. The arroz con pollo, wet burrito, and chips salsa/queso were all great as well. Everything was seasoned great and the refried beans and rice were awesome. I cannot wait to come back and try more of their menu, especially fajitas and the birria pizza and mexican pizza. it also looked like they had good weekly specials that I will be sure to keep an eye on and check out. HUGE menu so you will definitely find something you will LOVE.

The parking lot was very crowded and of course that meant it was also crowded inside. A good sign! Ambiance is typical festive and colorful Mexican decor. I went to the host stand to get a menu and grabbed a seat at the bar, hoping to get a small margarita while I perused the menu and ordered. I didn't see a dedicated bartender and it seemed like wait staff grabbed drinks on their own for their tables. When I was finally able to flag down someone in the bar area, she was friendly and served me a basic margarita- pretty sure they are pre-mixed but not totally sure because I was still studying the menu. Solid margarita though. Ordered two chicken burritos, a chicken quesadilla and tortilla chicken soup. The wait time was reasonable and staff members were very nice despite how busy they were at prime dinner time. Upon arriving home, I ate half of the chicken quesadilla. It was delicious with lots of quality seasoned chicken I also cut off a piece of my mom's chicken burrito to try. Also delicious. My mom definitely enjoyed her chicken tortilla soup, which was loaded with shredded chicken and pico de gallo. We had lots of leftovers even though we ordered à la carte. Everything was delicious and I highly recommend this restaurant! I'm sure the experience would have been better dining inside. Also, next time will order dinner portions for more well rounded meals (e.g., quacemole and other sides). You may want to stop by for an early dinner because this restaurant has quite the following!! P.S. If you care about whether the refried beans contain lard, they do. And they don't have black beans as an option for those who don't want lard in their beans. Guess the lard is more authentic Mexican but not what I had hoped for...

My protein of choice was carne asada (which the waitress needed clarification that I wanted steak). Not promising. I guess part of this is my fault for ordering carryout Mexican food. Unless you're under the influence at a taco bell, with no better sense of judgement, it's just not a good idea. That said, I couldn't help myself because I REALLY wanted Mexican food for dinner and I didn't want to deal with San Marcos (see my prior review) and I didn't feel like driving to Waterville (Cocina de Carlos because I live in West Toledo and work downtown). El Nuevo Vallarta is really close to home and it was a really long day. Anyway, I digress... I go to the place and it's starting to get busy. Not a problem. I place my order and grab a seat at the bar. Food is in my hands in under 10 minutes! Homeward bound to and adult beverage and Mexican food!!! Oy... I finish my cocktail, feed the cat and grab my carryout. I sit down and open the container. Again, OY... It looked like they put the 3 items in the aluminum pan and liberally doused everything with salsa rojo. Maybe I should have used the word excessively? I had to look at the carryout menu I grabbed to remember what I ordered because one couldn't tell by appearance. The chili relleno tasted good, but it wasn't like any I'd had in the past. The ones I've had are stuffed with cheese then dredge in fluffy, beaten egg, then fried. I'm thinking this was maybe fried (or baked?) And was then covered with cheese and red salsa and some kind of cut up beef was placed on top. If it was steak, it was round steak. Really tough and no flavor. They did the burrito the same way. The taco was a repeat of the first 2 items. So, I ate all of the chili relleno (except for the really stringy stem end they didn't cut off) , half of the taco and a quarter of the burrito. The dinner came with chips that they made, but they didn't seem very fresh. The salsa was really good! So, I owe it to the place to go back and right another review. When that happens, I'll be sure to eat it there and get ground beef or chicken. It might be a while though...
