Now here we are celebrating another family members Birthday and we were a party of seven tonight (Six of us were from the previous celebration)... stay with me, there's a point I'm going to make. So, we all had very different orders and drinks two months ago and everything was fabulous as it always is and it just so happens that we got the same Waitress tonight that we had before and not only did she remember us, but she also remembered what each one of us ordered. I mean food AND Drinks... down to the Sugar Rim on the Margaritas and the side shots on some other drinks being served! She even remembered that I ordered Lime and Cilantro on the side of my meal and had a preference of Corn Tortillas! COME ON MAN!!! PIA IS AMAZING!!! Juan Miguel's... I don't know what you guys are paying this young woman, but whatever it is... it is not enough! She is phenomenal! Don't get me wrong, we come there for the fantastic food but Pia has made the experience something much more special than we anticipated. She's truly the type of employee that you ALWAYS take care of. She's good for business. We'll see you guys next month. We told her so and we know one thing for certain... SHE WON'T FORGET!

I try to post the positive reviews. We eat authentic Mexican on a VERY regular basis. So I feel…read morecompelled and qualified to post this one. Overall meal - average. Important point - their salsa served with chips before and with the meals is overloaded with chili powder (dark color) and would make an amazing base for chili. We didn't finish either dish due to the salsa and were really hungry by the time we arrived after traveling. The restaurant was semi full so must be some like that. For us - no bueno! Won't be back. We were kind about our critique and waitress received it well. Restaurant was clean and well kept. I mean this with kindness - Recuerdos! (Best wishes) PS: shockingly waitress agreed with us and stated she doesn't recommend the restaurant even though she works there. Try it for yourself and see if it works for you though.

Tonight was the right time to change that. They make very good use of the small footprint this place has. There is ample seating, if I counted right there's something like 12 tables and five or six high top options. Their primary business is carry out of course, but we found it nice to relax at a table and enjoy the ambience a little. Neither of us had a drink but we made a note of the full bar including a variety of margaritas. I'm sure they are well prepared. The somewhat limited menu is actually kind of a good thing. It means that most of their items can be brought out quickly. My wife and I both had tacos. She went with steak, and I went with pastor. Both were perfect and very well prepared. I was especially pleased at how favorable mine were with nice fresh onion and cilantro. The refried beans were also terrific, not too chalky or cakey but not too greasy either. I didn't care for my rice, but my wife enjoyed it. We also each had a flan for dessert. It was presented in a plastic container, but again this place is intended primarily for carryout. The flan was delicious and tasted freshly made. The staff were all in their young 20s but were all very friendly and accommodating. I'm looking forward to coming back here soon.

Eventually, the woman handling takeout - who also seemed to be the host, came out from the kitchen and got us taken care of. Now let's talk about the vibe... chef's kiss. Every corner felt intentional - photo-worthy walls, cozy booths, and even the bathrooms had a moment. Definitely a spot you come to just as much for the aesthetic as the food. Food-wise, it was good, not mind-blowing. I ordered my go-to chicken fajitas and they didn't quite make my "craving this again" list. BUT the flautas?

It feels lively and welcoming without being overwhelming. You can tell they put care into how the place looks. The food was amazing. Super fresh, full of flavor, and not greasy at all. The fajitas came out sizzling and were so good. Everything tasted bright and well-seasoned. The margaritas were really good too... except the jalapeño margarita. I'm not even kidding, it looked like a literal salad in a glass. It was absolutely disgusting and basically undrinkable. Unless you truly love chunks of jalapeño floating around, stay clear. The only reason this isn't 5 stars is the service. Everyone was nice and friendly, but omg it was SO slow. We waited a long time between check-ins and had to remind them about a couple things. Nothing rude, just very forgetful and drawn out. I would definitely come back because the food and the space are worth it. I'd just go in knowing it's going to take a while.

They should call the dish Onion and Pepper fajitas. Check out the picture... It was 3/4 onions and peppers and only 1/4 steak. +++ but for the amount of meat there was, it was very tasty! The first margarita was great. The second one tasted like super cheap tequila... Where's the Shrimp? They forgot the shrimp and napkins. We totally have tipping burn out. Prices have gone up and they are asking for 25% and 30% tips??? No way. 15% - 20% is more than fair. Expectations for double with the already increased bill for the food is not acceptable. We dined outside. They do have that going on... it was a wonderful evening and wonderful day and my dining partner totally made fun of the "Onion and Pepper Fajitas" We might go back only for the location, but not ordering the Onion and Pepper Fajitas ever again. And we'll stick to beer.

For almost 2 years now, my fiancé and I have frequented Don Patron at least once a month. This is the best Mexican food money can buy in the state and quite possibly this side of the country. Pictured below are just a couple of the meals I've had over the last few years. The burritos are all massive, so exciting. The portions are huge here. Most meals come with a side of rice and beans. This isn't your average rice though. This is the best rice I've ever eaten. They must cook it in chicken or beef broth - it's absolutely packed with flavor. I always ask for a side of Jalepeno, too. They grill the jalepeno and put Tajin (I think) on them. SO good! The fiancé (picky gal she is) has only ever ordered the Quesabirria tacos. When my lady likes something, SHE LIKES SOMETHING. She has tried Quesabirria at other places, and each time she is on the verge of tears because she claims "nothing even compares to Don Patron's Quesabirria". That is a direct quote. This is a restaurant I would gladly drive over an hour to get too, or even just wait in line in a cramped vestibule for 2 hours. It's that good. The staff are the cherry on top. Everyone is so incredibly nice. Most of them recognize my fiancé and I as we go so often! Handshakes and catching up on life is always part of our experience. This is my favorite restaurant in Michigan. It's quaint, but WOW does it have flavor. The best part, I rarely run into any lactose issues (as you all know, I'm severely intolerant of lactose). I love this restaurant. I pray for this restaurant. May their tables always be full of happy, paying customers!! To the staff at Don Patron, God Bless You. You have brought so much joy and satisfaction to us here in the greater Detroit Metropolitan area!

Thoughts on a Monday afternoon. Most booths taken - no big parties or tables taken…read more First thought: Why is this menu so complicated?! Horrible service: 3-4 Waitresses on staff. All working "alone". You have to ask for everything. Water. Straws. Napkins. Chips. Refills. With 3-4 waitresses walking around, why not work as a team?! Chips/Salsa/Cheese: Not house made/fresh. Just under a warmer. Food was okay, they ran out of Carnitas (Pork). I'd prefer to go to other Mexican establishments in the area. Birria tacos barely had any meat. When you watch workers walk over the same crumbled up napkin on the ground near the "bar"over and over, clearly no one cares or pays attention! Also, I found it odd that they didn't have a designated area for their personal waters. They just had it all over the bar counter. Very disappointing!
