Our Guestbook
“ We had a wonderful time at El Patron Cantina. This is such a nice little place. I love the way they set it up. The food is really good. You must try it. The empanadas were good but they only have meat filling, (chicken or beef) no cheese. The guacamole is so flavorful and absolutely delicious The birria tacos are good. This is the first time I had seasoned birria cosome. The cosome (juice to dip the birria tacos in) usually taste like unseasoned greasy beef drippings. Anywho it was really good. And the check comes in the cutest treasure box ”
