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.

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.

First off, you're always in the right spot when ethnic grandmothers are enjoying a meal there too. While I wouldn't call it Miami, it's definitely hot. We had the birria and carne asade (charcoal?) tacos with rice and beans. Also a Mexican 40 and jarrito. I would say the flavors rival some of the best places by the border. Their sauces are great and the chili oil is ON FIRE!!! I wish they had radishes for condiments but Richmond may not be ready for that.

They have an open condiment bar which I'm not too fond of but it seems traditional so no impact on my score here. The green salsa is the best. The peppers and onions were great to have as well. If I come back again I'd get the carne asada and hopefully try the canpechano or something else. With that said I'm not sure I'd be back. Maybe I'll get some hate for this but Chicken Fiesta has a great carne asada taco and I'd rather go there if i want a carne asada taco. It's a nice place. Packed on Saturday shortly after they open.

I noticed the ice cream/yogurt spot nearby was hopping. There was a person asking for change outside the front door. We were greeted by an enthusiastic host and seated immediately at a booth up front. The server came by within seconds and brought us water and place settings. We decided to get the chips and salsa for an appetizer and a pair of melting chimichangas for entrees. I can't resist some chorizo and steak. My partner got the chimichanga without chorizo and with chicken. The ambiance was colorful with beautifully painted murals on each wall, and the atmosphere was undeniably loud. There were lots of patrons. The place was packed, even at the bar, so your mileage may vary. We received our orders within minutes of each other, so there wasn't much of a wait time. The chips and salsa were homemade, fresh, warm, and delicious (muy rico). Same for the entrees; exactly what I want in a Mexican food restaurant. The chorizo and steak were well-cooked, seasoned, and chopped finely, but not ground. I was in heaven with that chimichanga. We had to take home leftovers. The next night, heated in the oven at 325 for 30 minutes, they were similarly excellent. The night ended without dessert, sadly (too full). However, the server was quick and efficient, and he was always around to fill water and bring anything we needed throughout the meal. Great experience overall. We will definitely return here whenever we have a hankering for some good Mexican food at reasonable prices. I can recommend this place to anyone who appreciates hearty and filling Mexican food.

The ambiance can be described as eclectic and casual. It's great for big groups and relaxed lunches. There's a variety of menu options for food and drink. Our server was nice, but she didn't really answer our questions about the menu or substitutions, which was a little inconvenient. Also, we kept having to ask for utensils and napkins, which made our food get a bit cold. The pineapple habanero margarita tasted like spicy pineapple juice and was pretty expensive. It was pretty, but not worth the money. The food also was really average, but the portion sizes were good for sharing. The huitlacoche tacos were a little bland and soggy, the chicken chipotle tacos had a good sauce but were also soggy and the fajitas did not have enough seasoning. Not a restaurant that I would come back to, but I liked it's proximity to other dessert places nearby.
