Don Patron Mexican Grill. — Restaurant in California

I traveled from my job for 18 years and pretty much lived in a hotel and ate out every night for 300 days a year. With that being said, I've dined in dirt floor convenience stores in the hollers of West Virginia to fresh seafood on the San Clemente Pier and everything in between to give you guys an idea of how diverse my culinary experiences have been...

This Don Patron is 15 minutes from my house and I've been here quite a few times but never took the time out to share my experience...

My Son and I went for dinner tonight and I'll tell you, there's no need to drive anywhere else for a great meal and exemplary service...

The fajitas came out sizzling Hot and smelled soooooo delicious my Son quit talking and devoured the whole serving... My Chicken Chimichangas were cooked to perfection and the homemade guacamole topped it off with the tastiest bites around...

The Mexican Coke is so much better than our USA products and my Son tried the Jarritos Grapefruit soda and I must say it was excellent and not sour as you would think of a grapefruit...

We finished off the meal with homemade Flan for dessert and it was scrumptious...

I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for an excellent Mexican dinner that is all homemade and doesn't break...

In the same spot where the locally renowned (but in my opinion overrated) Campys Pizza of California (PA) used to be, Don Patron's is a massive improvement by every stretch of the imagination, and I'm glad to see them still there. They only came to the town once I was moving out, but I got to enjoy them in my last week, and again recently when I was visiting the University.

The Tex-Mex options they provide are numerous, but heartfelt. Their portions are generous, and they are very flexible for large groups. The beer selection is plentiful as it was as Campys, and with a larger variety of non-alcoholic drinks. Mexican Coca Cola and Jaritos make a solid appearance.

I had a non-entree Quesadilla and one of their signature burritos, and I had an amazing experience with them. Full to the brim with flavor, and substance. I did not go away hungry in the slightest after a long day on my feet. And for the price I paid? More than fair.

Thank you guys for keeping local businesses at the top...

Looked at their menu on THEIR website to decide what I wanted before arriving to order carry out. On the menu was Beef Chile Verde (HOT) made with beef tips. Was told they use shredded beef, so I opted for chicken instead. Absolutely no spice and meat was not simmered or stewed at all, just sautéed chicken with tomatillo sauce. The refried beans were an extremely runny consistency and could not be eaten with the only utensil they provided ( a fork ). I went back in the restaurant to ask for a spicy salsa/sauce to give the dish some heat, they charged me $2.75 for “ spicy verde “ that tasted like carbonation and beer and no spice whatsoever ( extremely odd for verde ). Lastly I ordered fried flour tortillas with honey and butter and a scoop of ice cream, I received a fried flour tortilla with cinnamon sugar and chocolate syrup and no ice cream. I was charged $1.75x2 for corn tortillas when on the menu it states tortillas come with meals. Super disappointing and won’t...
