I think not enough people appreciate that simple key ingredient, yelps influence for the good of all. We decided Taco Tuesday was the best place to start and we weren't wrong. The Carne Asada tacos were excellent with plenty of delicious meat and fully dressed out in toppings. I tried the Shrimp Taco and the grilled fish Taco and both were primo. The food is made with love, you can quickly tell when you pick up your tray. My wife raved over the carne asada tacos even on the way home. We have found a new place. It's exceptionally clean and well put together. The service staff were very accommodating and kind and were there to please. A good crowd for the early afternoon. Will definitely be back. You cannot go wrong with the establishment.

What I really liked about this place was the salsa bar. I loved the chili peppers grilled that you can get. The fresh salsas. The inside was very clean and orderly too.

First time here came for lunch Right off the bat as I walked…read morein I was greeted by the cooks which of course is nice. Atmosphere was nice, music was playing. I really came for the Quesobirria tacos I ordered the combo with 3 tacos and rice and beans. Also got a regular drink that did not come with the combo. Total was around $25 which kinda crazy but I understand price for meat has gotten higher so restaurants still need to make a profit. They had three salsa this I have to say was the only downside was that none of them were actually spicy at all. I'm not sure if the one I had was the habanero one that's what it was labeled, but it did not taste nor look like habanero salsa so perhaps they just didn't have that one at the bar. Once I got my plate, it looked great Every taco had a very good portion of meat inside they were nice and seasoned. The meat was not even remotely dry. It was nice and tender and juicy. Tacos were by far the best ones I've had in this area. Their rice and beans were good as well. All in all, I definitely will be coming back. Also, I love that they have outdoor seating.

Their "carne en su jugo" is legitimately delicious! I'm not usually a fan of carne asada but a friend ordered the carne asada plate and offered for me to sample from her plate and I was absolutely floored. This place does not skimp on quality. The cut of the meat was top quality. None of those awful cuts with lots of chewy nerves here. Pure tender deliciousness. Me and my wife LOVE teje shrimp burrito. Again, the ingredients are top quality and fresh. This is not a budget restaurant but it's not obscenely expensive. Expect to pay about $30-$50 per person here. This is one of the few restaurants that is worth every penny. On Sundays around brunch time, there is live mariachi, which is great if you're into that sort of thing. They also regularly have dance events, live music, and DJs. There are many reasons to visit. Check it out!

I thought that this was just a regular casual Mexican restaurant, but once we walked in, I realized…read moreit's more of a place you go to for special occasions. First of all, the decorations are amazing. The first thing that caught our eyes were the hanging lit up butterflies. They really make a statement. Next to them is a tree covered in Christmas lights, and next to that is a lit up aquarium looking thing. Even when I went to the restroom, I noticed that the cement floor had sparkly gold specks and something that looked like the Milky Way. As a vegetarian, I was so happy that the menu had leaf symbols so that I could quickly tell which items I could ask for without meat. The food came out fast. It felt like we had barely ordered them and the waitresses were suddenly coming out with them. The portions were huge, like my sister ordered the grande nachos and it really was grand. It looked like an appetizer that was meant to be shared with a group of people. The food tasted good. I enjoyed my meal so much that as big as it was, I devoured the majority of it and only stopped because I was too full. Towards the end, one of the employees asked if he could take away my plate and even though I knew he wasn't our waitress and it probably wasn't his job, I asked him for boxes instead. When our waitress came to our table to ask if I wanted boxes, the other employee at that moment handed us the boxes. I thought it was nice that the other employee did that for us even though he probably wasn't expected to. Overall, we had a great experience here.

My wife gets the chilaquiles verdes every single time. She orders chilaquiles everywhere we go, and to this day she swears nobody makes them better than Casa Victoria. I've worked my way through most of the menu over the years and honestly can't remember ever being disappointed. My kids could probably live off their rice and beans, my daughter loves the enchiladas, and if I had to pick one thing for myself, it's the breakfast machaca burrito. Simple, filling, and ridiculously good. But what makes this place special goes beyond the food. The women working here are always so kind and humble. There's something about walking in that reminds me of being a kid with my tias in the kitchen--nothing fancy, nobody trying too hard, just good food being made by people who care about what they're serving. There are plenty of places that call themselves authentic. Casa Victoria doesn't need to tell you. You can taste it. One of those neighborhood spots you hope never changes.

This visit I had the Seafood Trio, and it was outstanding. The seafood was cooked perfectly, well seasoned, and the entire plate was delicious from start to finish. If you enjoy seafood and Mexican food, I definitely recommend giving it a try. The service is always friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere makes it a great place for a casual meal or dinner with family and friends. I've tried plenty of Mexican restaurants in the area, but Los Patrones continues to be the one I keep coming back to. Great food, great service, and definitely worthy of five stars. Highly recommended

Terrible service and terrible food. From the moment we sat down, our server acted as though we were…read morean inconvenience. When we asked questions about the menu, we received short, rude answers. She took our order, left, and someone else eventually brought out our food. After that, we were completely ignored. As the video clearly shows, two employees were standing around visiting with each other on one side of the restaurant, while two more were gathered at the far end of the nearly empty dining room. Not one of them bothered to check on us, ask whether we needed anything, offer refills, or see how our food was. After we finished eating, we waited more than 30 minutes just to receive our check. We repeatedly tried to wave someone over while the staff continued to ignore us. The food was just as disappointing as the service. It arrived cold, and I was specifically told my chimichanga contained shredded chicken breast. It did not--it was filled with large chunks of fajita-style chicken instead. I truly wish we had never given this place a chance. Poor service, cold and misleading food, and employees who seemed more interested in visiting with one another than taking care of paying customers. Don't make the same mistake we did!

They should've left well enough alone when it used to be an Irish pub same owner I believe and for whatever reason they decided to go with this Mexican Cantina that was just never full of people or really caught on. The prior Irish pub used to have some music and dancing I can't remember maybe on Thursdays or something and it was pretty popular so why they made the change I don't know but now it's permanently closed. Let's get something in here that's well liked and tolerated by everybody that can last a few years instead of every other year there's something new struggling to make it go. Their street tacos and food platters weren't bad and the beer was always cold, it was a quiet place to hide out but I guess that was its downfall sometimes you could be the only one in there or two or three other people and that won't pay the bills in a location that's known for high rent.

Our food arrived pretty quickly after ordering. The staff was friendly and continued to check in on us.

We also ordered the fresh chicharrones. The chicharrones were hot and still crackling when they arrived at the table. I especially loved the green aioli salsa that came with the chicharrones. Overall, this is a good place to enjoy some fish/shrimp tacos and margs.

Visited for the first time last night based on the awesome reviews…read more Ordering was a bit odd as the full menu was not up on the screen as you stand in a line for one employee to take your order. The complete menu was next to said employee who stood there patiently while waiting for you to decide on something all while not holding up the line. We settled on 2 taco combos: baja fish and baja shrimp, both on corn tortillas. Then we ordered another set of a la carte tacos, more baja shrimp and fish tacos, but this time on flour. The total came out to $52+ (including CAs seemingly mandatory these days tip). The friendly employee gave us our receipt, order number and beverage cup, and we waited. In contrast to other reviewers apparently short wait times, we sat waiting around a half hour for our take out order to be delivered to us at our table. We headed back home as soon as we got our order and the food held up very nicely. Id say the tacos were delicious and very filing. The battered fish and shrimp in each were generously portioned and the cabbage toppings on each were not only refreshing but eye appealing as well. Although the tacos hit the spot, I have to be honest about the rice and beans, as being an Angelo--if the spot has legit Rice n Beans, then everything else on the menu is spot on. Can't say this holds true for this spot, as it was quite literally the worst rice and beans Ive ever had from an establishment touting Mexican (style) food. I opened the takeout container of rice and was disappointed to say the least, it was just a helping of white rice-- the same as you would get at Chinese takeout. The beans? Even worse than the rice. I sat for a while trying to figure out how to not toss them out, as that would be throwing money away. I'm still pondering.... Go for the tacos, stay clear of the R&B.
