From the moment we walke in, we recognized it for a warm, friendly, welcoming place. Our server was prompt and attentive, and while the food may not have been highly flavored, it was not bland as some other reviewers suggest. They should stick with Taco Bell if they think The Patron was poor. We each ordered burritos: mine was the carnitas. Unlike some places, it was filled with nothing but meat. Many places I've been to cram beans and rice into a burrito, and skimp on the meat. Eating here is as close to a religious experience as dining can get.

I ordered the steak fajitas and the meat was tough and overdone. I also felt like they were not very generous with the sour cream and guac. It was unusual that I got slices of tomato instead of pico de gallo. Others seemed pretty content with their meals. Service/Ambiance: I was pleasantly surprised that our server allowed our group of 20+ to do separate checks. We were also seated in a separate area so it was only our group in the room, which was nice, otherwise the restaurant itself can get quite loud. Unfortunately, we ran into some issues with our orders, extra tortillas were missed, and they brought out beef burritos instead of bean burritos for one of the orders. Would I come again? Only if I had a large group since the side room was nice, otherwise, I'd probably check out another place in the area.

There was a decent amount of people traffic which was good. I got seated right away, chips before I even ordered. The salsa was very good and chips were good also. Decided on the carnitas plate, which is my go to across the various Mexican food places I go. The portions were great, the food was probably a 3-4 star but total package was 5. Staff was friendly and helpful, the salsa was really good, the food was hot (the plate was extremely hot too). The pork was just a little dry but tasted good with salsa and sour cream in a taco. Good tortillas as well. I only tried this spot for Mexican food in the area, but would go again if staying nearby. Ambiance was fairly lively, they had a good amount of people eating and also working. Was a nice dinner.

It had been quite some time since I ate at Kahlo's, however, my dining experience on this visit was…read morejust as memorable and delightful as my very first visit. The atmosphere was very boisterous, as it was a Saturday night. It took a few minutes for my husband & I to be seated but once we were our server was very courteous, attentive & helpful with menu item choices. Our food arrived expeditiously & each item we ordered from the cocktails to the appetizer to the entree were absolutely delicious. I was especially pleased with the Whole Fried Fish I ordered. It was crispy on the outside with very tender, flaky meat on the inside. I also just loved the presentation. This was my first time actually getting a whole fried fish with the head intact & I have to say it was an experience in & of itself. I would definitely order this entree again. Also you got a small side salad & beans & rice with this entree for a really great price so YES I would definitely order this again. I would definitely recommend dining at Kahlo's if you enjoy neighborhood family owned restaurants that provide great food, service & atmosphere at a very affordable price. I look forward to returning to Kahlo's in the near future.

I was certainly hesitant about this place when I found out it was partly a Latino market, but I had a suspicion it would be really authentic because of this. And I was right! This place is great and super authentic. Not a ton of vegetarian options but I made it work. The salsa they have is really good, definitely needed seconds. The portions are generous and prices are low. My husband and I really loved it and the waitress was patient with me needing her to repeat certain things, since I'm not fluent in Spanish. Papusas and rice and beans were perfection!
