Even the 'spicy' sauce for the tacos was bland. We had to request salt just to be able to eat what we ordered. However, the tableside guacamole and chips were good.

Salsa is nicely balanced and not too spicy for me. But rest assured, they have other salsas that are hotter. The fried tilapia I had my second visit was just exactly what I was craving. Crispy fish with warm tortillas. Really good. The people there are very warm and welcoming. They provided attentive service. My husband really liked it here too.

The tacos were flavorful and had warm fresh tortillas. The ceviche was excellent and so fresh. All the salsas we tried were obviously home made and very fresh and flavorful too.

We were there for about 45 mins for lunch and they had tons of to go orders! We will definitely be back to try more things because everything looked and smelled amazing.

I just hade meat, lettuce, and tomato on it. they were way smaller than Taco Bell tacos! I feel I got ripped off so bad. I will never go there again. Three tiny tacos, just lettuce and tomatoes for almost 5 bucks apiece. I rather starve than pay That! I would give them no stars, but they're forcing me to at least push one star so I could post this review. What a freaking joke. could forcing me to make you guys look better because you're not worth any stars.

5 stars for The Patroons Mexican Restaurant!…read more From a distance, it looks like just some random hole in the wall restaurant in some mall shopping center. But once inside, you will realize the hidden gem of Mexican cuisine you found while visiting McHenry. The prices are all very reasonable, and the service was very friendly when I dined in. They give you complimentary chips and salsa to start with, and then I had the camarones chipotle and a La Diabla - both were delicious. The Diabla wasn't too hot but had a nice flavor/kick to it. Overall, I'd recommend a visit if you're in the area and want some great Mexican food.

The rice was fresh with a light taste of lime. The beans were hot and full of flavor and not totally blended and the salad dish was more of a avocado salad mix(fantastic) but the winner were the steaks! To start we asked for some pick and that was also a standout. It was an easy five star rating just on food alone but service was also top notch.
