My first review of Patroons was a very flavor-able. The food is authentic. And on this review I wish to recommend the Pollo Asada with the mild sauce. It's delicious and the meal made my day. Enjoy the menu at Patroons.

This place is beyond delicious! The food is amazing! The staff is kind and welcoming. They serve a creamy-esque green salsa that should be its own food group. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu!

If you would like authentic Mexican cuisine this is the place. Ask for their recommendation. It will be better than picking off the menu.

Great little authentic Mexican restaurant, and great service too! A very small cozy place, set a strip mall, you might easily miss this gem of a restaurant, but it’s well worth a visit:)

Absolutely delicious. Maria is the best. The salsa was a bit spicy for me and she made a special salsa without spice and it was delicious. True Mexican style. Quesadilla was delicious also. Traditional rice and beans. Was a awesome authentic dinner.

My husband and I have ordered online 2-3 times now and each time has been fantastic. Our go to is their taco salad (11.99) and chimichanga dinner (11.99). Both pork because it’s just the best. You have the option to add extra guacamole/sour cream for 1.00. The chimichanga dinner comes with extra spicy sauces on the side and they add a nice kick! The rice and beans are also very yummy. The portion sizes are massive which I will never get used to. I’ve never had horchata prior to this place but I would say it is a must try - love it!
