    Salad for fajita
    Linda H.

    Always clean The food is fresh and hot The chips are good but salsa a bit spicy. Quesadilla fajita was EXCELLANT but not a lot of sour cream The El Patron fajitas had steak, chicken & shrimp and was excellant. One of our favorite places and the servers are always great.

    Special Dinner Plate #2 - beef taco, tostada (chalupa), rice & refried beans. $18.99 (2025). *see plate #1 for rest of food!

    DATE & TIME OF VISIT: July 18, 2025 @ 4:30pm. They were not busy (there was no wait line) and only a couple of tables of people. AMBIANCE & CLEANLINESS: Decorated inside like most other authentic Mexican restaurants. Music wasn't too loud, we could talk without screaming over music. HOSTESS & SERVER: The hostess was fine, not the friendliest. Our server (male he has been there for a long time because we have had him before) was very nice, explained anything we had questions on. Once you order food is out to your table fast (may be different if super busy). Server checked on us a few times. FOOD: This is what we ordered.... Chips & Salsa -- Taste: good flavor for salsa, not to spicy and chips were fresh. Price: $0. (Complementary) Special Dinner (beef enchilada, pork tamale, chile relleno, beef taco, tostada (they list it as a chalupa), rice & refried beans) -- Taste: everything was delicious, chile relleno was perfectly cooked, I have no complaints. Flavor was great for every item! This is true authentic Mexican (not American Mexican!!) Size: large portion of food (could split with someone very easily). Price: $18.99 (2025) Burrito Monterey -- Taste: very good flavors, do wish the peppers were cut smaller (diced instead of fajita style), we ordered it with only the cheese sauce and not the trio sauce that comes on it. Size: Huge! You can split this with someone. Price: $17.99 (2025) OVERALL THOUGHTS: Paid $35 (w/o tip included) for two people. Service was fast. WOULD I RETURN? Yes (this is not the first time we have eaten here).

    spacious seating with a little fire place setting on the inside. Plenty of patio for warm days. I got the combination plate. I do like rice and beans being automatically included in dinners. Here you have to go up a few dollars for that. I got the combo plate that listed them. Flavorful chile relleno. It's my standard go to . This one is mixed with the sauce a very runny plate glad to have had tortillas for dipping. The chips and salsa comes out with two bowls and a small jar of pour your own salsa. And they have the hot sauces on the table for you to add. This feature alone might be a reason to come here. Friendly staff. Quality food.

    Steak tacos, chips.

    Ordered steak tacos, very good. Service was fast and friendly. It was pretty slow at lunch , but clean and nice. A Giant menu.

    Fajita Nachos Fajitas

    Update6.23.23 Takeout wasn't the best experience. We got a few large orders of nachos along with a few other things and the same quantity wasn't reflected as it would be with in-person dining. Probably a little less than 2/3 the amount of food and very little cheese. We received (3) 2oz cups to cover two large nacho portions -not enough for the amount of chips given even though the portion of chips was way less as well. One of the things I liked about dining in (and others have agreed with me) is that the nachos weren't dry, dining in there is a good cheese to chip ratio. Staff were friendly and the food was prepared quickly -but I highly recommend dining in over getting food to go. My other family members agreed. We likely won't do take out again.

    My favorite part about this place is the alcohol! It's the biggest thing that stands out from the rest of the Mexican food Holland already has to offer. They have tequila bottles and towers and all sorts of fun ways to consume your alcoholic beverages:) The food I've had here has always been good. The service has been lacking. Barely able to communicate well with a language barrier. Not attentive to our tables. Last time we went they wouldn't let my group of ten have separate tabs and made us go all on one and it wasn't explained. They were not busy at the time either, it was so strange and all my friends were upset. Hopefully they can get that issue fixed and continue to have people attend their restaurant. The inside of this place has always been clean and like I said the food was decent. Just overall haven't had a good experience here yet sadly.

    Steak fajitas (the LUNCH portion half eaten)

    Came on a Thursday at lunch based on a recommendation....so glad we did! The food was really good! The portions were huge, especially for lunch. The prices were very appropriate. Food was closely authentic with slight Americanization. I had a combo plate #1with a chicken taco and Chile poblano, came with refried beans and a guacamole salad. Ate it all before I thought of placing a review. My spouse got the steak fajitas, pictured. Ate about 1/3-1/2 and then I took the photo. Very well seasoned and strips of steak were tender. Service was perfect. Not too hovering and not too elusive. The atmosphere and decor had Latinx music and decorated nicely with paintings and festive murals. Warm, wood finished wood. Might be loud on a busy night, but was just right during lunch. Overall..... Highly recommend!

    This is truly one worth repeating. The friendly happy atmosphere is a breath of fresh air. The pineapple fajitas are amazing.
