Stopped in here for a snack after hiking and split a Guadalajara Plate. The waiter is from Texas like us and we had a fun chat. The place is spacious and clean. The tamale and taquitos stole the show on the plate. We could just eat tamales if we went back. I would have liked a bit more salt on my chips but that is personal taste. If you are someone like me who has the gene against cilantro, it is NOT a heavy cilantro place. Overall, we can't find fault with this restaurant. read more

Don Patron - Guadalajara Plate: beef tamale, chicken and beef taquitos, chicken and beef nachos underneath. - Mexican Near Me - Oakland, Maryland

I had gotten a vegetarian combo with mushrooms and the food was decent. The chips and salsa in the beginning weren't flavorful, and overall everyone's entrees weren't great. I will say the service was great. Everyone was really kind and welcoming. read more

I'm 6 coronas down while writing this! The beer is great. Food is even better. Only complaint is I wish the guacamole was served in a much larger portion. Felt sort of kiddy. But was really good! Shoutout to the server he was so nice and just kept bringing me beer after beer read more

We were a party of 8 and were seated right away for lunch. I ordered the #18 which was the perfect amount for lunch. It was a chicken burrito with cheese sauce. Unfortunately, the shredded chicken was tough. My dad and sister agreed with my assessment on their chicken items as well. Next time I go I'll try the beef. My nephew's beef burrito was super flavorful and delicious. My mom had the chicken enchilada and said her meat was super tender though. My sister loved her mango margarita. Our service was perfection and they have televisions so we could catch some of the Olympic events which was fun. read more

Don Patrons is a nice little Mexican restaurant in the Deep Creek area. The food was pretty good! The fajita burrito was massive and the cheese sauce was delicious. My girlfriend said the arroz con pollo was only okay since it was kind of bland in flavor. Chips and salsa were very good. The margaritas let me down though...They tasted like virgin margaritas. Not enough 'punch' of alcohol for my liking. Service was very good and had no issues! Definitely will stop back again sometime! read more

Our dinner experience was great! The service was fast, food was made quickly (we were the only dine-in guests), and decor was enjoyable. If choosing between here and El Canelo (the only other Mexican restaurant), here are a few differences: The food is comparable and so are the prices. DP has more of a cozy feel, with glass-blown pendant lights and textured wallpaper. More "upscale" if you will. DP doesn't have a private dining area but EC does. At DP, you can see the main road (Garrett Highway) from wherever you're sitting in the dining area. DP's bar is much smaller and narrower (maybe enough for only 4 people). EC is attached to a motel. read more

Went with my sister, we were having a Sisters Day Out, and got hungry. Went in, place was wonderful. The employees were pleasant, the restaurant clean/quiet, and the food was AMAZING. Absolutely loved it, will definitely be back. My sister got one of the enchiladas and I got a different lunch special where you got 1 soft shell and 1 hard shell each, with a side of rice (which is also some of the best rice I've had in an age). Free chips n salsa are brought to the table right away, and based on taste, I'd say salsa is made fresh, in house. We also had dessert, a fried ice cream for each of us (small word of warning, if you don't like cherry- make sure to ask them not to put the sickly sweet cherry syrup overtop the fried ice cream) and it was nice. Their salsa was so delicious though, I wanted five gallons to take home with me. It was THAT good. And the chicken was so tender and well-cooked in our meals. Highly recommend going here if you're hungry and in the area. read more

I'm a little hesitant to share this because I don't really want the tourists to find this place, but it is definitely the best restaurant in the deep Creek area. Service is quick and super friendly and the food is always delicious - everything on the menu. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and we always leave delighted. If I could pick them up and move them to my primary home, I would do it. Five giant stars to Don Patron. read more

I live in California, where we have the BEST Mexican food. I was a little apprehensive about checking out this place with my parents. Well, I was very pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious. Margaritas were very good. I was impressed!! read more

Service is always excellent and the food is good. We especially like the mushroom quesadillas, the veggie fajitas and their tomatillo hot salsa. read more

Always exactly what we expect. This is the first restaurant we visit when we arrive in Deep Creek.

Stopped in on a Monday evening since many restaurants are closed. What a surprise, the service was spot on, drinks were good and the food was excellent! Even though they took over a KFC building they made it warm cozy and authentic! read more

We're from the west and this is pretty authentic Mexican cuisine. Would highly recommend this establishment.

We were 12 people who were a little tired of the standard pizza, burgers and steak options that most of the restaurants around here serve so we decided on Don Patron. 12 people though is difficult to even get orders arranged for everyone (kids) so we called over and spoke to the manager of Don Patrons if we could order a family style platter of tacos for 12 people. 1 hour later, we had a takeout platter of chicken, beef and pork with all of the toppings for tacos ready to go for pick up. The food was delicious, packaged perfectly and we have left overs for lunch. Thank you to Don Patrons for the off the menu accommodation and I highly recommend giving these guys a call if you need a large custom dinner! read more

Good service, good food and priced reasonably. Restaurant was very clean and the staff was very accommodating.

I came here after flying in from California and the food was better than I expected Mexican to be so far from the border! They also had a TON of vegetarian options - honestly even more than at some places in Los Angeles! The food was good, the margaritas were good, and I would love to come back the next time that I'm in Oakland. read more

Authentic.. but a bit pricey for Oakland locals.

This place is great and good prices.Steak Fajitas outstanding jumbo burrito my favorite.

Very extensive menu with delicious dishes. The burrito Amlo is my favorite that's loaded with crusty roasted pork

If you like unseasoned beef and chicken in your tacos and enchiladas this is your place. Props for kindness and excellent sangria. Otherwise this is not Mexican food. read more

Best Choice Of Mexican Cuisine in Town. Hands down our family's choice when it comes to Mexican food. Staff is friendly, the place is clean! Food is flavorful and a great amount for what you order. Prices are very reasonable! read more

Great Mexican food which is good because it's like the only authentic place to get it around here

Food was good and plentiful. Unfortunately I have to take away 1 star because my margarita was extremely weak. If any drink should taste phenomenal in a mexican restaurant, it should be the margarita. Not sure if I would go back again. It was our last minute decision go-to. Convenient. Staff was friendly. Hot sauce and salsa were good with fresh chips. read more

Our server, Angel, was excellent, very friendly & accommodating. Jeannette was not our server, but was also helpful, hospitable, and funny. All staff was on it and ready to help. Food was excellent. I've never had a potato burrito before, but really enjoyed it. Margaritas were excellent. read more

Pretty darn good! Service is always great, food is pretty darn good, serving sizes are a little smaller but it's all still good

Excellent Mexican food. Love the margaritas and chips. Had fajitas and enchiladas. Will go back! read more

This was by far some of the best Mexican food my sister and I have ever had! Prices are fair, portions are generous, and the staff was very friendly! read more

Not bad. Your average mexican place. Fast service. The people who answer the phone and take orders can be a little hard to understand sometimes. Great frozen margarita. read more

Excellent Mexican food in a casual and comfortable atmosphere. The waitstaff was very efficient and informative. The potato burrito was delicious and the steak fajitas plentiful, hot and tasty. We will add this to our short list of favorites when visiting Deep Creek. read more

First time here and definitely will not be our last. I had the nachos supreme and my wife had the Chimichanga with shredded beef, both meals were absolutely amazing. There is a Taco Bell within a stones throw but come here and spend your money at a mom and pop restaurant. Oh yeah , the margaritas were on point as well! This place is a diamond in the rough when you want to venture out of Deep Creek Lake for something a little different. read more

Awesome food and friendly staff. I got the veggies fajitas special and was pleased with the amount of food. They had great margaritas and even sold everything to go. Staff was friendly and funny and quick to get anything you may need. Highly recommend for the Deep Creek Lake/ Oakland area. read more
