    There's a great dessert case on the other side of this! May 2026

    Cozy-casual-colorful-quaint... no wonder a steady stream of what appeared to be regulars kept coming in. This little restaurant under the oaks on Parsons Ave is just minutes from busy Brandon and yet, in its own little world. It feels so homespun and homemade here-definitely giving off family vibes. When I arrived at lunchtime on a Friday, I was greeted immediately by several friendly staffers and told I could sit wherever I wanted. There were booths ringing the walls and tables in the middle. I took the first booth on the right and within seconds, my server was there with a menu. She was warm and efficient and always seemed to know when was the right time to check on me. The lunch menu isn't huge, but it's solid. (They're open for breakfast, too... 7a-8p most days, 8a-9p Friday and Saturday, as of May 2026). I chose the chicken flautas (4 for $8) and a Pepsi zero (there were Pepsi products, iced tea and agua fresca in several flavors available). Another friendly server brought complimentary chips and salsa for me while I waited. The salsa was excellent! I also enjoyed the flautas (I chose chicken but you can also get beef). I spied a very appetizing taco salad two tables over that I've got to try next time and they also offer table side guacamole. I really enjoyed this visit. It was so relaxing in there-simple but cute-charming, even. The staffers were so welcoming. Lots of groups came in and out but it never felt rushed or crowded-just a happy bustle dining in-and a steady flow of takeout orders, too. There's a good amount of parking and I felt like this was great value for money. I will definitely be back!

    I came here because I was hungry for some authentic Mexican food I've never tried near the Dr…read moreappointment I just got out of. Never been here before. Place is bigger inside than it looks from outside. I looked over the lunch menu, and had my mind made up, then they shared their new Mexican Sushi menu with me. OMG! I couldn't believe how different and far better this style of sushi was. Service was fast and attentive, and I was lucky enough to sit near the manager who talked me into trying the sushi menu. The sushi cook is from Mazatlan, Mexico, and he makes it that style. Just wow! Definitely coming back again.

    I still like this place, the food is normally great but our last expirience wasn't the best. And I…read morethink people should know since the menu does not state this. If you order the three street tacos , u can't pick multiple types of meat. You have to choose on for all three tacos. I had asked for carne asada, Al pastor and carnitas, and they brought out all three with just carne asada. When I asked about this I was told that they changed things and that I could only have one type ... I couldn't understand that if this was the cased why didn't they come back and ask me which I prefer .... The carne asada in the tacos was dry, I was not very happy. And to top this off my bf broke his tooth somehow when eating chips and salsa. He swears he ate something hard that was in the salsa ...

    This is NOT the restaurant El Patron anymore!!! The new name is 200 Copas Bar and Grill. Let me…read morestart with this is NOT a bar and grill!! This is a nightclub that happens to serve food. We did not know that walking in. They all looked at us like what are you doing here? My husband even said is this a restaurant? So we asked for a menu - which is a QR code. Yes- they have food. We decided to sit at the bar and at least have a drink. It was early so no a lot of people. Everyone seemed confused as to how things worked. Most employees spoke Spanish and we do not. A bartender did speak English. He asked what we wanted and took our drink order. He was nice. We did end up getting food. Chips and salsa=$10! Other items were priced fairly. We asked for water and he claimed they only had bottles of still water=$4.50. But we saw someone else get a glass with ice/water at another table. Also be warned there is a "service fee" of 15% (for what I have no idea) and if you use a credit card 3% card fee. We searched on line to see what people said about this place and some other reviews on Google said they charge $10 to get in although we were not charged anything to come in. In the end the food was pretty good. Bottom line- this is a nightclub with an identity problem as they are trying to serve food as well and it just does not have a restaurant or bar&grill feel to it. We won't be back as not our scene, but also wish them well with the clients they really are trying to attract.

    Have you ever accidentally shown up at the wrong time (too early) for a party? That's what it felt…read morelike, when we stopped by for lunch on a Friday. It was open for business, but there was only one other group of two in there with us-and only one server-who was also the bartender. It was a little odd. I'm sure this place is popping at night. Our server (who was chatty at the end-businesslike before) told us there's karaoke on Friday nights and a DJ on Saturdays. I'll definitely bring the friends back for that. The drink menu is large-it would be a fun night spot. I'm just not sure I'd come back for a weekday lunch. That's not the food's fault, though. I had chicken enchiladas verde (very nice) with some of the best Mexican rice I've ever had. The margarita was also good. You can tell this restaurant has been around awhile-there are echoes of genres past, with different decor still lingering (the lighting, for example). But I love the murals outside, the bar surrounds, the signage by the stage area and the other Mexican touches. I also really like the vintage windows-it's a nice nod to the past. And it's spotless in here-so clean-with lots of tables. I also thought the prices were fair. I hope they thrive!
