Los Patrones Mexican Restaurant and Cantina — Restaurant in Higüey

My recent visit to Los Patrones left much to be desired. Despite its positive reputation, my experience was anything but satisfactory. The standout issue was the lack of freshness in the food. From the stale tortilla chips to the old chicken, nothing seemed to be prepared with care or attention to quality. Additionally, the presence of many flies was off-putting and raised concerns about cleanliness.

Adding to the disappointment, I was shocked to find bones in my birria tacos, a clear indication of oversight in food preparation. While the staff was friendly, the ambiance was marred by the presence of numerous homeless individuals, creating a less-than-ideal dining atmosphere.

What's most puzzling is the stark contrast between my experience and the many positive reviews. It's possible that the restaurant may have had an off-day or inconsistencies in their service and quality. Individual preferences and experiences also play a significant role. Nonetheless, I believe sharing feedback is important for both the restaurant and potential future customers.

In light of these concerns, I cannot in good conscience recommend Los Patrones. It's my hope that they address these issues promptly to regain trust and provide a better experience for...

Overall the service was grand and I will most deffently be returning. If you are looking for some great food, don't hesitate...

Came here to try just based off of the reviews, and they were truly correct.

The food was fantastic, had quesabirria tacos, and the 10 tacos to share, I told the owner to give us whatever he recommended on them, and he did not disappoint. From what I can tell, they were authentic Mexican tacos, from the toppings, home made corn shells, home made salsa's, and glass bottle coke that I can only assume is imported from Mexico.

Definitely worth the price, and I will be back to try more of the menu!

The owner is a very nice guy, provided great service, and took the time to explain what each of the...
