Food: food was great ! My husband ordered street tacos and loved them, they had great flavor and each bite had enough of everything. I ordered the grilled chicken taco salad, the one in the crispy tortilla shell bowl- loved it ! The shell was perfect, it added such a great crunch, the salad itself was good, and we had a lot of leftovers to take home as well ! The restaurant itself is super cute with a nice ambiance ! The tables and restaurant were super decorated and they had fun music going too so the vibe was super pleasant and we were just happy to be there. Definitely recommend :)

The pambazo was nicely seasoned that my usual self didn't have to drench it in hot sauce.

I decided to go with a lengua, (tongue) taco, and a fish taco. I go into the store to grab my soda, and when I come out just a couple of minutes later, they are ready. The tacos were amazing. They were very generous with the fillings. The fish taco was flaky, and it was very lightly breaded. Very tasty. Of course, as it's my usual bad habit, I tore into it before I could grab a picture. That lengua taco was just as good. The meat was very tender, it was rich, but not overly so. The salsa and the cilantro gave it a nice "pop" of freshness. I love. Lengua, this was right up. With other good. Lengua Tacos that I have had. The price was very reasonable. I will stop by again. Thank you.

My husband has ordered a ton of stuff off the menu and enjoyed it all. The guacamole and the salsas are all good and the lettuce is always crunchy and fresh. Good rice and beans, too. The woman who usually takes our order is very nice and remembers us. If I forget to ask for extra salsa verde on my tacos, she will always ask if I want some. Really good customer service. Prices are unbeatable for the quality of food you get and I can feed my family without breaking the bank. Highly recommended!

A Chorizo Revelation at Patino's: My First Food Truck Adventure…read more You ever have one of those hunger pangs that sneak up on you like a surprise attack? That was me, driving home, stomach making questionable noises, when out of the corner of my eye, I saw it--Patino's Mexican Food. A little food truck, parked like a hidden gem, just waiting to be discovered. Now, here's the thing: I had never stopped at a food truck before. Not once. But something about this one--maybe it was fate, maybe it was hunger-induced bravery--made me pull over. "Alright, let's do this." I walked up, scanned the menu, and like any self-respecting fan of Mexican food, I zeroed in on my personal favorite: chorizo street tacos. Three of them. Because one? Not enough. Two? A warm-up. Three? Now we're talking. They handed me a pager, and within 10 minutes--before I could even contemplate my life choices--I had my hands on a cup of homemade horchata (which, let's be honest, is like the nectar of the gods) and my three glorious tacos. Now, I had to document this moment properly...
