Great waitress, but food was ok. Used to love coming here, but something has changed. The salsa was very watery, and chips were broken into little pieces. Maybe we just came at the wrong time, around 3 pm.

Took my daughter here and she definitely enjoyed the restaurant. The chips and dip came out very quickly. The chips were replenished quickly. The food was seasoned well and there were good portions. The guacamole was priced appropriately and there was options on the amount or portions for the guacamole. The restaurant was very nicely decorated. The restrooms were clean and all the staff was very nice.

Delicious! (Our second visit!) Service, food, and atmosphere is fantastic! Highly recommend quesadillas, enchiladas, salsa, chips, and margaritas. The price is reasonable, and drink specials happen frequently! Only thing I can say is for some passing service members be careful gossiping in Spanish, you never know who is listening.

My first time here was interesting. The host was very nice, he greeted us and walked us to a nice booth. Our server didn’t come to our table until almost fifteen minutes later, and she didn’t even introduce herself to us. The food was great though. Presentation was nice, the rustic atmosphere was pleasant as well. I do think that the staff could use a little more training on customer service. If anything, many of the staff seemed intimidated more than anything. I don’t know if they just didn’t speak much because of limited English or if they genuinely were uncomfortable with the customers. I hope that some improvements go into working with the staff on their interactions with customers. I do look forward to the next time I visit here.

We absolutely love the people and the food at The Patron. Can’t tell you how many times we’ve been there and have never been disappointed. Personally I love the steak Patron and my daughter loves the tacos Patron. This was the first time I had tried the wings and those things were so meaty they were almost a meal in and of themselves. Needless to say we will be back.

(5/12/2024) If you don’t want to serve people of color, just say that. I order quesadilla Texana (no beef, add extra shrimp) because I always pay extra for it. My husband order appetizers chicken quesadilla. First time food came out, husband food was cold like it was sitting out and contaminated with other food like peppers. I received steak in my meal. We spoke to server Wendy and she grabbed Leo the manager and we got the meals sent back. Second time my meal came back fast and something didn’t feel right so I checked it. It had less meat and scallops. I’m allergic to scallops. Leo avoided the table and never came back. Wendy apologized and stated the kitchen is messing everyone’s orders up. She sent it back. Not to mention but my husband food took an additional 45 mins to come out and it was on the original plate we sent back. When I got the last remake, it had only 3 shrimp in it. We just got the check and left. Confirmed Leo’s name when leaving. Sad part is, we didn’t even get an apology. I’ll stick to location by airport. If you are non-Hispanic, this is not the place for you. They put all melanated people to the back. I watched the host signal for 4 black families to sit in the back.

All the food was delicious and flavorful from the chips to the salsa. The chicken is soooo good and juicy, and the drinks were filled with the perfect amount of alcohol. The service was amazing and the music was great. I’ll definitely be returning soon.

We believe we’ve found our new favorite Mexican cantina. This was our second visit (12/16/2025) for lunch, and from the moment we walked in until we left, we were treated like family. The drinks and food were truly top-shelf, and the service exceeded our expectations. Everything—from the atmosphere to the flavors—was outstanding. We will absolutely be regular diners here. They do a fantastic job.

v/r,
Dr. Ken and Lorna King
