I just found this place. Food was delicious both times for all of us. Fresh, fast food with lovely service. We will always come here for Mexican food. Prices are very reasonable too.

The service was above average! I will say the food was pretty good. The food took no time to come out to the table. The cheese dip was probably one of the best I ever had!

1st time here today and it was really good. Steal cooked perfect. Shrimp and veggies very tasty. The salsa is always my favorite. It could use a tad bit more of flavor but no complaints. I shall return.

As usual everything was perfect! My go to restaurant these days! Not sure what I like more, the food or the staff!

I mean, I'm from Kansas, but I ordered the Tijuana Burrito and it was one of my top three favorite meals ever! Prices seemed fair and portions were plenty large. We were here for a family members surgery at Duke and this place was a nice little escape for us. I feel like it was authentic Mexican cuisine without having to visit a sketchy neighborhood. I highly recommend it.

Probably won’t be coming here again. The food just wasn’t good 🤷‍♂️ I grew up in Arizona so maybe I have pretty high standards for Mexican food. I’d rather pay a little more for something I enjoy eating

Food was really tasty. I had pollo Yucatan. I wanted a frozen margarita but machine was malfunctioning so I had it on rocks. Chips could be better. Service was pretty good, I practiced my Spanish and they were obliging. I'll go back.

I had dinner at Patron last week. I frequently eat out alone and this has become one of my go to spots for a good meal, nice cocktail and great customer service. I had the carnitas with rice and salad, and a mojito. The pork was so tender, seasoned very well. The portion size is great. The mojito was good. I like how they go the extra mile to make the drink fancy with the straw and the fresh fruit 🙂. All the servers were attentive and friendly which I don’t always get when eating out alone. I highly recommend this spot, and I will be back.
