El Patron Restaurant — Restaurant in Fargo

Since having moved from Minneapolis last summer, I have been sincerely missing the authentic taco trucks. I decided to give this place a try, on a carryout basis.

I visited the restaurant on a Sunday near 4pm and while there were seven tables seated, the wait for my order (which I placed shortly after my arrival) was less than ten minutes.

I ordered the three street tacos with carnitas. The corn tortillas tasted incredibly fresh, like they were possibly made today. The carnitas unfortunately didn't taste as fresh and tasted like it's been sitting in rendered fat. There were a few pieces of red onion within the tacos, which was disappointing as I enjoy white onions which I've previously experienced elsewhere. The verde salsa was amazing and also tasted quite fresh, with just the perfect amount of spice. I was pleasantly surprised to find a large bag tortilla chips with my order. They were freshly made and still warm from the fryer. Despite the bag containing the chips being saturated with oil, they were light, crisp and lightly salted. The red salsa which accompanied the chips was also fresh, and of a very mild heat.

I will be back to give it another try, perhaps dining within the restaurant for the full experience and to have one of those giant margaritas I saw one of the patrons enjoying.

First time we tried them as a new restraunt in Fargo was greeted by friendly faces and staff throughout our experience even the owner came and checked on us to make sure everything was great and we were satisfied …with that said chips were fresh and warm salsa was a little watery but decent flavor , we also ordered a coronarita which was great with how much alcohol was in it ;) for only 13.99$ was a uniquely decorated drink and good flavor , we ordered the big platter of mixed 12 tacos the flavor was really good tortillas were fresh not too crunchy and not soggy the chicken and beef were delicious , especially with that extra pizazz of lime 🍋‍🟩 in there ..60$ for 12 tacos was a little steep in price but overall was a great food experience we will be back to try something new next time , thank...

Food is gross. Guacamole is from a bag and poop green. Got the chimichanga which was doughy . Favor was bland. Also got street tacos that only flavor I could taste was jalapeno. Although it was covered in cilantro I could take anything but the jalapeno. Margaritas were watered down . After leaving I went home and cleaned my toilet in case I need to puke. I have been there before and it was way better with previous owners. Seems they are cutting costs on food any using the cheapest ingredient they can get their hands on with a cost like plaza azteca. Just go to plaza or somewhere else. Bad. Not Good at all, I recommend making a different choice. I could have went to taco hell and got better food. Wish...
