I was disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. The staff member who assisted us seemed visibly upset and uninterested in helping. The customer service felt cold and unwelcoming, and at times the tone came across as rude.
I understand everyone has off days, but when working in hospitality, professionalism and basic courtesy go a long way. Unfortunately, this visit did not feel welcoming, and it affected the overall experience.
I hope management addresses this, because good food can easily be overshadowed by poor service.

My husband was getting his truck fix at Espinos and decided to go eat breakfast at El Pato Mexican food on Hwy 83 in Pharr. He said that when he walked in he did think they restaurant had like a roach smell but he didn’t think anything of it since the last time he was at this restaurant was 30 years ago. He ordered one of the egg breakfast plates. As he was eating he felt something hard and rigid in his food and mushy when he started chewing. He thought it was probably from the beans. When he took it out of his mouth he realized he bit into a roach sack. He was so disgusted and wanting to vomit that he hurried up to pay and left. He said he will never go back to this place again. He was disgusted for a couple of hours and couldn’t let go of the feeling when chewing or the thought of eating in to a roach sack.

I’ve eaten at this restaurant twice and don’t know why I gave it a second chance. Both times, the food has been disgusting. Yesterday, I ordered a carne guisada taco with avocado and was served mostly fat. The cook also added beans which I did not order. The few pieces of meat in the taco tasted rancid, so I threw it away. I have learned my lesson and will never patronize this El Pato location again. The owners of this site should consider going into another line of business. Yuck!

Stopped at El Pato, Pharr- old business 83 for lunch. Stood in line, mngr did not acknowledge my presence, looked to be frustrated and l I ke a chicken without a head. I placed my order and sat away from the cashier area by the windows. All of the sudden, I heard manager scolding an employee. Employee seemed Anglo. He was yelling at him in front of customers. That totally pussed me off. Not the time or place to be doing that. I got up and went to the counter. Another customer was in line complaining about a wrong order. As I was about to speak, the employee had my plate and called out my name. I told him I wasn’t going to take it and needed my money back. The manager asked why, I told him I did not appreciate the way he was treating his employee. I also told the employee not to let manager treat him in that demeanor. The employee responded he wasnt learning to which I told him it wasnt his fault, the. Manager should never refer to an employee in such manner. I also told manager he should get out of the business ess if he was going to be with that attitude. I requested the corporate number to what he just pointed at the receipt which doesn’t have the corporate number but rather the store phone number. I later went to the San Juan location and requested the number. I called several times on various options, for Solis, and Bocanegra or something like that…ext 35 and 21 to which I did not get an answer or call back. I wonder if the way the management was acting was on his own action or of its coming down from leadership in corporate since no one seems to care enough to answer phone, call back from left vms or reply back to email.
Not going back to that location.
No need to reply either. Done wasting my time.

The quality and quantity of the food is not the same. The cashier was attentive but the male cook was looking bothered and keep touching his face and hair.

9-11-2025 been a while since I stopped at this legendary location or ate el pato since original revieiw so I gave it a shot today only to be let down. Asked for 2 migas con huevo with beans and a single chicken with cheese and beans. They only gave us 1 migas with no beans and the chicken with no cheese. We got charged for it but didn’t get it . Fix the microphone and train employees better man c’mon.
Place is a hit or miss. 2nd time they mess up my order 10-9-2021. Food is delicious. They forgot the beans in my migas and the bacon in the other tacos. I was charged for it but wasn’t given it. Not gonna waste my time driving all the way back either.
10-26-2021 i was contacted by the owner as you can see but i did not respond. My reviews are honest and i don’t want free food or money back. All i care is that the issues get fixed.
P.S. had my migas, egg and beans yesterday. Super good!!!

I ordered the daily special which was carne guisada. This is advertised to come with tortillas but I only got 1 tortilla. The drive thru service was very slow and they said they had not made any salsa yet and it was already 1pm.

Although I love el patio, today’s service was not the best. I placed an order to eat in and my food sat on the to go pile for half an hour . I asked about my food at midpoint and was told my food was coming out. I finally got my food. My tacos and chalupa were SOGGY. . Awful. Very disappointed.
