Santos Patronos Wagyu — Local services in Seguin

A few weeks ago, I walked into the Santos Patronos Wagyu store and Jane recommended I try a cut I had never even heard of before – the Denver cut.

Y’all… BEST. STEAK. OF. MY. LIFE. I’m not exaggerating. That one steak completely ruined me for all other steaks. Tender like butter and packed with flavor in every bite.

While I was raving about it to Jane, she told me about something I didn’t even know they offered – a Culinary Experience out at their ranch with Chef Ray.

So we booked it. And oh my goodness, I am so glad we did.

From the minute we arrived, we were treated like family. “Uncle Jeff” gave us a tour of the ranch and taught us all about their Wagyu and Beefmaster cattle – the care, the science, the passion that goes into raising them. It’s not just ranching; it’s an art.

Jane also gave us a tour of the lodge and WOW. Every single detail is beautiful and thoughtful. It’s the kind of place where you instantly imagine a family getaway or a group of friends staying the weekend. It can sleep 22 people, but still feels cozy and welcoming.

And then came dinner…

Chef Ray (who trained in Italy!) has created something extraordinary out there. We started with the best meatballs I’ve ever eaten, had a salad made from his mom’s recipe, and then the main event: a steak flight with four different cuts of their Wagyu. Every bite was incredible, but that Denver cut? Still my absolute favorite.

We wrapped up the night sitting around a fire under the Texas stars, full of great food, laughter, and the kind of genuine hospitality that makes you never want to leave.

If you’re wondering if it’s worth it – it absolutely is. Whether you grab a steak at the Seguin storefront (pro tip: try the Denver cut!!) or book a ranch experience (and stay at the lodge!), you’ll leave with more than a meal. You’ll leave...

Very nice place to get top of the line wagyu beef. Ray is super nice and will answer all your questions and explain each cut of meat. Who knew this was right in Seguin? People do and will come from all over! Cattle bred and raised locally. This beef is right up there with Japanese Kobe beef. The price is worth every penny. You know exactly what you are...

This place is absolutely beautiful to walk inside. Jane explained everything to help me pick the right choice of Wagyu meat. This is my first time cooking with Wagyu and she offered a few pointers on how to cook this meat. I will definitely be...
