    We're not usually in this area but found this highly reviewed taco spot on Yelp. I really wanted to be wow'd but I'd rate it good, decent tacos. Prices were fair. Clean tables. Not sure I'd drive too far out of the way to return.

    Burrito Asada Bowl

    I hate to say it but this place was a huge let down. This isn't your average taqueria, this is a cafeteria style restaurant. We were not expecting that going on. As for the positives, the staff was extremely friendly, the restaurant was very clean inside, and it was fairly busy. As for the negatives, I got the Asada Burrito Bowl & the Asada was very overcooked and burnt. After two bowls & two beers it was basically $40 which felt like a lot. The quality of some of the food wasn't great (not sure how long the rice was sitting). Overall, this place was kind of a let down :( I feel really bad because it's a family owned business, but give it a try. It just personally wasn't for me.

    What a dope family owned spot!!! I had the pleasure of going this weekend with my hubby and friends that introduced us to this place, and wowowowwow talk about Flavor Town! We tried the tacos, and the quesabirria. I love that you can mix and match your protein options, giving yourself the chance to try all the meat options! The staff was really friendly, Jose helped us out and its actually his family that owns the shop! The consume to the quesabirria was my favorite part-- I could have drank it as a soup it was that tasty! I enjoyed their roasted jalapeno it was spicy and made my lips tingle(: We also tried their chocoflan and I enjoyed it! The wall art was dope and even has their family name on the hat, love the pride!! Oh and they have a Clean bathroom! Grateful to have a spot like this outside Denver! Cant wait to be back!!!

    You know when you drive past a place and you're like oh I should try that place and then a few days later you forget your lunch and then you realize it's a perfect time to try said place? Yeah, that was Tacos el Patron and I'm glad I did! Lots of choices, fast, fresh food, friendly & staff. I would recommend!

    Asada tacos
    Sara C.

    This is a must try if you're in the area! Stumbled upon this taco shop and found out they recently opened 3 months ago. I ordered two asada tacos and you could taste the quality in the ingredients. Hubby got 4 quesabirria tacos where you can mix and match the fillings. The quesabirria tacos were absolutely incredible. The service was great, very friendly, restaurant is super clean, and we will absolutely be back!

    I've been back a total of 4 times and each time is better than the last! The food has always been delicious but I mainly go for the chicken!! It's delicious and crispy every single time, paired with the rice/beans and salsa it's the perfect lunch/dinner combo. I've even tried their tacos and quesadillas and everything has been seasoned to perfection. Great place, I try to stop by every time I'm in the area.

    Chicken 3. Chicken Combo Dinner
    Ray K.

    Been looking for a good rotisserie chicken and this place has great options. I like the half chicken dinner, so flavorful for all the chicken pieces. Great tasting rice and salsa. Not a fan of the nachos but will try the burritos next.

    The food was pretty good. We wish there was music instead of sports on the TV but that's probably just us.

    I'm a little torn on this place. Their Happy Hour is great. But I despise companies that charge…read moreback of house fees and credit card fees. It may seem petty, but it irks me. Ok, back to what you care about, their Happy Hour. For two people we got an Americano Taco, Nachos w/ Chicken, Guacamole, ceviche, and margaritas. The margaritas, for being at a Mexican restaurant, were passable. The mango margarita tasted a little like mango, like a Lacroix version of a mango margarita. This was the least enticing of what we ordered. The Americano Taco was a classic white person taco. Hard shell. Ground beef. Nothing too crazy. It was a taco. The ceviche had delicious plantain chips, which I love, to accompany it and the striped bass. In addition there was pineapple and sweet potato. My problem with the ceviche was that there wasn't a lot of fish in it. The guacamole was well mixed and flavored. Served with potato tortilla chips was nice and they were nice and salty. The best part, the nachos with cochinita pibil were flavorful, filling, and cheesy. I was the most happy with the nachos choice for HH so if you're looking for a good happy hour deal come for the nachos.

    TLDR great flavor, slow service…read more Drinks, appetizers, and dessert all took a while. Ironically the entrees were the only thing that came out pretty speedy. Chips/guac were pretty good, but they didn't give us enough guac to match the serving of chips. They also make their own chips, and she said they're supposed to have a floral note, but tbh I wasn't getting much of that. No big deal. Pescado frito tacos were delicious, but I absolutely hate when restaurants pile the ingredients really high in the center of the taco. I guess they do it for presentation, but it's so impractical, and a pain to eat. I tried spreading it out to the sides, but I shouldn't need to do that in the first place; I should just be able to enjoy my food. Everything was inevitably spilling out, and it just wasn't a great experience. Tres leches cake was great. No gripes there. Peach mocktail was extremely sharp; I tasted way more lemon than anything fruity. Ambience is quite nice and comforting. Good view upstairs too.

In the old days, you would have a long waitlist for a table. Not anymore. We were one of four or five tables. First, the good: our waitress was very attentive and kind. Everything about the food and drinks was disappointing. The margaritas were bland and tasted like an orange slice. The menu was limited, and a lot of the entrees were gone. The guacamole was runny, and the salsa was bland. Of our three entrees, the only one that was at least warm was the fajitas, I suspect from the sizzling plate. The rice tasted like it was days old. I will never return and will not recommend to anyone else. So sad!
