El Patrón Tacos is one of my go-to spots when I'm feeling a little too lazy to cook on the weekend…read morebut still want a solid, traditional Mexican breakfast for the family. It's quick, affordable, and reliably delicious. We've tried most of the menu by now, but my usual orders are the Breakfast Burrito and the Breakfast Menudo -- both always hit the spot. The kids can be hit or miss with certain dishes, so sometimes we stick to the Easy Breakfast Plate or a couple of tacos. And you absolutely can't beat their Barbacoa Taco -- it's easily one of the best in the area. They are always fast to and service is great. Simple, fast, and consistently good. El Patrón is exactly what you want for an easy, satisfying weekend breakfast.

In the mood for tacos and decided to try El Patron. I was surprised to find that it's a "sit down"…read morerestaurant and not an order-at-the-counter, even though there's a "Place Order Here" sign attached to the front counter. It was warm inside, and luckily, someone finally came out from the back and turned down the A/C. The service was adequate, and our food was tasty. I liked that the hot sauce wasn't too hot; it's smooth and pourable as opposed to chunky. Portions were nice; I took half of mine home. Soft drinks are in a can. I'm deducting two stars because while we were there, a couple came in with their dog and proceeded to order and eat, feeding the dog off of the plate as it sat in the woman's lap. If this was on an outside patio, I wouldn't have given it a second glance, other than to think that the dog was cute. But I'm sorry, gross. And none of the staff addressed it, which makes me wonder about their cleanliness standards...

Aleida's is a hidden treasure in a strip center near Summer Moon Coffee. The interior is lush with greenery and large wall length colorful mural. Today I noticed two walls of photos and paintings highlighting the Latin culture. This is a family owned business and it shows. The food feels like a its made with love. The flavors and presentation are personal. I ordered plantain (of course!), a corn breakfast taco with chicken and some Venezuelan flan. All were exceptional. My server was super personable and Texas friendly. He pleasantly persuaded me to try the Venezuelan flan because it was made by his mom. It does not take much for me to get weak at knees for dessert. Excellent, authentic restaurant...I highly recommend this restaurant.

The eggs Benedict that I had to pay 13 for was cold and plastic like on dry sourdough bread. The hollandaise sauce was two small puddles on the side of the bread instead of coated on top... arugula just on the side all dry and cold and didn't even look washed. It's bad y'all. I went for Mother's Day for a nice day out with some friends and I'm not a mother yet but good Lord I felt second hand embarrassment for the staff here if this is what Mother's get for their sacrifice. A hostess actually said "you should have told me" about where we sat. It was ridiculous. We literally waited 45 minutes. I could have and should have driven home in that time. It was so stupid. Seriously not good. Don't go. BleCh. Wish I could leave no stars. Negative!!!

First visit for breakfast and I give it an "A"…read more I walked up to the traila and I was greeted by a young boy who was very kind and professional. I ordered barbacoa tacos and my partner ordered bacon and egg tacos. Although I knew I'd have enough with the tacos I ordered tamales. The barbacoa was super tasty and the red salsa had just enough spice. My partner gave the bacon and egg tacos a good review as well. Unfortunately I got full and didn't get to try the tamales and gave them to a family member. (They looked good though.) I'll be honest and say that my partner had come here before and ordered a pastor taco and I took one look at it and couldn't get myself to eat it. It looked inedible. But based on this experience alone I would most definitely come back for the barbacoa alone! I'll try to get to the tamales next time. This traila is in a lot with a number of other trucks and the area is maintained VERY well. This is probably one of the best well kept food truck area I've ever been to. Over all a great experience and the barbacoa is worth a try!

Then she proceeded bro start telling employees has to fix food. I thought maybe she was off duty. This lady was so rude to the people working. She kept barking orders and telling them to hurry up - some big order. It took a long time for my friends breakfast taco & my burrito. My friend went and checked on the issue. In mean time a group of high school boys came and they had already ordered their food. Some got there food some didn't had to leave. In the mean time lady came over to our table ( one barking orders) she said she was the Carter and didn't work for Taco and wasn't affiliated with them but she knew the owners. And restaurants was short staffed. This lady was behind the counter and wasn't affiliated working the cash register and answering the phone and even went in to kitchen. She was so mean and rude to the workers they working as fad as they could. When she came to our table we had gotten our food - she offered us a refund----what the heck - she was the issue not the workers. I told her if she did that at my son's restaurant she would be Fired. I told the lady who took our order Food was so good. She was apologizing for wait time . Said generally 7 people there they only had 4. I asked the carters name - employee said she didn't know who she was or her name. To the owners - your staff was working so hard and if you know that Carter- she was so rude demanding to your employees. Why was she using the register????? I hope the register didn't come up short - wouldn't be employee fault -And was she answering phone- maybe that's why some of the boys didn't get their food. You should be proud of your employees. I hope owner reads this -
