Update: The second time was cool too! A weekend night was definitely different there than a weekday. You can tell that this is going to be one of the spots that the friends of the service industry are going to frequent and it's all good! I had the Mexican pizza which was bigger than I expected and I've tried plenty of margarita flavors. The service was great, shout-out to Jose and "Jos-sway". -- First time here was so good that we stayed for FIVE hours! I really enjoyed myself here so much that I'm back for the second time this week so I'll be back to give an update! read more

First of all, the inside is so nice and vibrant. The customer service was amazing. Valentina took very good care of us and was helpful in making decisions. We had the fiesta nachos with beef, steak, chorizo, and shrimp with boom boom sauce. THEY WERE SENSATIONAL. We also tried the Mexican pizza with steak and it was so good. We got a picture of blue blast and it was STRONG! Like the strongest drink I have had at a restaurant in a while. 10/10 read more

Overall, experience was decent. I ordered a taco salad with chicken, but received beef. The server noticed it was beef instead of chicken and offered to bring one with chicken, but I declined since I was hungry and ready to eat. The taco salad was okay. The shell was more on the stale side, and the beef was lukewarm. I did order extra cheese dip, since the taco salad came with shredded cheese. I ordered "The flight" to drink. It was okay, it looked pretty but was not strong at all. The flavors were good, but the drinks had way too much syrup in them. I did, however, enjoy the fruit that came with it. They were fresh and sweet. My friend ordered the Caribbean Rush and said her drink was the same way. The restaurant is decorated nicely and has a nice setting. The service was good too. Would come back, but will definitely order something else next time. read more

They make good drinks. That's all the good things I can say about the place. Server mixed up our drinks but they didn't charge us for it so I guess that's good. A bug fell on my head from the ceiling while I was waiting on my food. *Shiver* The food was decent but definitely tasted like it had been reheated and not fresh. My spanish rice was cold. So if you want a margarita flight and you've already eaten, maybe just wear a hat. Best of luck. read more

From the moment we entered the door - greeted with a smile and immediately seated. The server was amazing and actually shook everyone's hand at the start of the meal. I asked for a couple of recommendations - he provided excellent feedback. The food quickly came and was nicely seasoned. The good: *Tortilla chips (they have a seasoning that's very good, slightly salty though) *Salsa (fresh and very flavorful) *TV's in the bar area, a sports lovers dream *Service 10/10 The meh: *Taco (shrimp) Salad shell was a cross between lightly baked and soggy. It wasn't horrible, but it took away from the overall taste and crunch. Yeah, I like major crunch with my taco salad (don't judge). *Plentiful parking, but the lot can be like the Talladega Speedway.

Out of everyone's food (5 other people) my soup was the LAST dish to arrive despite being the simplest order. After I began to eat my soup I soon after discovered there was a cockroach in my bowl! It came up on my fork when I was pulling up some chicken. When I told our server, she didn't even apologize. She simply turned toward the front and hollered "Cucaracha" (cockroach in Spanish) to the person at the door as if this was routine. Neither of them were alarmed. That says ALOT! Our entire table stopped eating & asked for the check. The manager never came out to address the situation or offer so much as an apology. No attempts for restitution were made by anyone. The soup was removed from the bill upon my request. This isn't just bad service -- this is a health hazard.

Golden City is definitely my favorite Cantonese restaurant in Memphis! The flavors are very…read moreauthentic, and there's almost always a table available, so you rarely have to wait. This is definitely a place that any foodie craving Chinese food should try. Their Peking duck is probably the best value for the money in Memphis. My family and I always order way too many dishes when we come here, and there's always enough left over to take home and enjoy later. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the food can take a while to come out, and the checkout process is also pretty slow. We usually end up going to grab our own takeout containers because it takes so long.

I got a calzone and side of knots. I asked for ranch. When I got settled to eat, the calzone was not hot or even warm and the toppings inside were also not warm. The knots really saved this entire meal because they were soft, buttery and garlicky, however again not warm. I'm not sure at what point my meal was cooked but it was not enjoyable overall.

The service, food, and drinks were great. I had a margarita that was one of the best in Memphis. I like spicy food so they actually made an extra spicy salsa for me. The cheese dip is phenomenal. Cool atmosphere and decor too. Definitely fits the "tropical" part of their name. This will be a regular for the wife and I. read more

I was second guessing rather to pick this location or the other one. Staff was pretty nice && food was amazing. The only thing kept pissing me off was the fact they kept coming to my table removing items not once asking I me or my party was finish. I'll give the food 10/10 but service 7/10 read more

I love the food and the fact they will change anything to make it work for you if you don't. It's become a second home to a bunch of none blood related owners and workers. Taco salads, wings and catfish, Mexican pizza made my way, and B.A.T. my favs. If you're a drinker, THIS THE SPOT read more

From the vibes of the restaurant itself to the kind and helpful staff to the absolutely incredible food -- it's ALL good. Special shout out to their bean dip with the white cheese dip all over it. So dang good. I can be a snob about chips & salsa, too, and I really love theirs at El Patron. The restaurant is right next to the train tracks so they have a fun toy train that goes around the perimeter of the store inside which we all love. (Especially my kids!)

The staffer seared us quickly and got our initial drink order. Chips were brought to the table, which were a bit stale but passable and salsa was also presented. The salsa is a bit thin for my liking but my grandson liked it. We proceeded to wait on the staffer to come back after dropping off drinks and then disappearing. We watched him walk into the parking lot and from there we didn't see the staffer for another 10 minutes. Smoke break? I don't know. We got margaritas; Yum! 4 of us dined and only one of us was unhappy with their food. The taco salad had massive amounts of runny beans which broke the taco shell down too quickly. I would suggest lining the taco bowl with lettuce. And thicken up the beans. The shrimp with queso and rice was delicious! I am rating 4/5 for mostly good food but weird service.
