The Good: The staff was extremely friendly. And the prices were competitive…read more The Bad: The food was only so-so. Not remotely Mexican. Taqueria sure, but not Mexican. The cooks did what they could with what they had but it still just was ok at best and not worth the price. The Ugly: The place was devoid of drinks. According to one of the staff they had not gotten their soda order in. But, they also had NONE of their bar drinks or mixer drinks. You can see that the picture has all of it clean and not used in the middle of the lunch day. They also were out of various ingredients to make some of the dishes. While this is occasionally the fault of just not knowing what you need by the manager that does the ordering... it is normally a bigger problem and one that points to a place that is financially failing. I hope that I am wrong and that they were just having an off day. The other reviews seem to point toward a fairly good restaurant so hopefully someday I'll be able to adjust this review.

A heads up that during the weekdays Tortilleria El Patrón no longer serves tacos and fresh food…read morelike they used to, howrver they do tamales on the weekend as per their website (October 2025). Still a tortilleria even on weekdays though! And a small market! We are from out of town and saw the photos here on yelp and thought we'd pick up lunch (on a weekday), but the kind woman who greeted us explained that they no longer do that. I recommend checking their website directly instead of only checking Yelp.

And, a taco shell full of wet salad doesn't stand a chance of being crisp or edible. The steak quesadilla was dripping wet - and the tortilla was a dough blob. DoorDash should know better and at least have given me a heads up about the delivery method. I'm sure the 30-40 additional minutes of delay didn't improve the quality of the food. I hope both the restaurant and DoorDash have integrity to make this right.

I was surprised that it was not fried like I've seen so many times, but in a nice soft tortilla with a cheese sauce on top.
