Menu

Stopped in for lunch they had a huge menu just full of fairly priced menu items so it took me awhile to figure out what I wanted to order. The wait staff was super friendly it wasn't super busy but I was a little late for lunch 1:30 so I missed the crowd The food was bland the salsa was watered down it was authentic alright no flavour at all

It's a decent Mexican restaurant. We stopped in after trick or treating on Halloween. Kinda a taqueria or burrito joint. I thought the chicken was pretty tasty. Nothing special in my opinion. My wife said her margarita was good. My daughter liked her beef enchilada and rice and beans. Probably the better of the Mexican restaurants in Howell. Go give it a try you may love it.

Burrito Mexicano

We have eaten at every Mexican Restaurant around Howell. Tonight was our first time at El Patron. We had great food, service, and the ambiance was great as well! I ordered the Burrito Mexicano. It was large, full and flavorful! My wife ordered Enchiladas Suizas and said the meal was far better than all the other restaurants around. We will, be returning!

Yummy  margarita YES PLEASE!

Charged me $8 for a side of beans, and $2 for a side of sour cream... I think that about sums it up.

My wife and I went here this past weekend for a "date night." We go to a Brazilian steakhouse a lot…read moreand we wanted a change, a smaller, less formal atmosphere with hopefully some awesome food. We were NOT disappointed! This place is small, in a strip mall, and is not pretentious! More importantly, La Finca puts out some truly fantastic food. My wife and had chips and salsa, with some queso to start with while waiting on our food. The salsa was spot on...tasted homemade and not store bought (but I do not know if it was homemade). My wife ordered the quesabirria and I ordered two birria tacos and two carnitas tacos. Totally excellent and scrumptious!!! I was stuffed and was still tempted to order 20 more tacos!!! The quesabirria was incredible too...the right mix of cheese and meat and the corn shells!!!

Had my first bad experience here. Ordered the Quesabirra combo which is under the "Quesadilla"…read moresection of their menu. They then brought me the tacos. I asked what was up and the lady came over to explain I was incorrect and "Quesa" just means it has cheese on it and they actually did bring me the right order. She said if I spoke Spanish or if we were in Mexico it would make sense. I've probably ordered thousands of quesadillas for me and my kids in my years. Another lady came out and said let's just remake it but by then I was so completely proven wrong since I don't speak Spanish that I just kept the order. I didn't want to waste the food either. Pro Tip: If you want to order the quesadilla version you have to say "Barrira quesadillas" because ordering it under the quesadillas section will just get you tacos. "Barrira quesadillas" also wasn't listed on the menu but they make it. Maybe last couple times they asked what version I wanted... or it was on a specials board...idk. I suggested they move the combo under the taco section but I guess that wont make sense in Spanish since none of their taco have cheese but combo does?? This place is definitely a 5 star restaurant when the owner is there. This was the first time there when he wasnt.
