El Patroncito Mexican Cuisine — Restaurant in Los Angeles

This is the first time my fellow reviewers have let me down. I'm very disappointed in this place. To start, the place needed a sweep and a mop. The floor was very dirty as were the tables. As for the food, the salsa was bland, and for an entree I ordered the carne asada plate, and for $20, I expected carne asada. But instead I got 2 pieces of milanesa. If you know anything about Mexican food, you know those cuts are nothing alike in taste or looks. I really hope this was only an occurrence with my plate, because charging $20 for milanesa is theft. But something tells me this is a regular occurence. Milanesa is usually around $6 or $7 a pound, and ranchera, which is carne asada, can go from $15 to $20 a pound. I let the waitress know, but I hope their management reads my review and knows that there's Mexican customers who know Mexican food and can tell what good Mexican food is. Honestly, it's probably my fault for going to Mexican restaurants. I am very critical of the cuisine I cook myself. This food was not good. To pay almost $100 for mediocre food doesn't feel great and hopefully people that read my review will go...

El Patroncito in DTLA is a real find. Every time I come here, the food is consistently delicious and made with care. The breakfast burrito is huge, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The chicken milanesa is golden and crispy, served with rice and beans that taste just like home cooking. Comfort food at its best. I also had the chilaquiles incredible. soaked in just the right amount of sauce, topped with eggs and crema. It’s a full-on flavor bomb and definitely one of the best versions I’ve had in LA. The staff here are the heart of the place the waitresses are so kind and welcoming, it really makes the experience special. I’m seriously looking forward to when they get their beer and wine license for a glass of rosé on the patio with chilaquiles. Authentic, delicious, and full of warmth....

At first we were going to Jack but we came across this awesome Mexican restaurant. I had the beef stew and my companion had a wet burrito. Let me tell you the soup was cooked to perfection even the beef would shred in my mouth with every bite. And they served it with white rice the way it should be. We were warned the food might take long but it actually wasn't and to be fair only another family was there too but I take on a regular day they would take about 30 minutes but totally worth it. The drinks were actually authentic and not powder based. The price was right to and definitely recommend. Be warned you might want to take a nice nap afterwards which I had to fight lol. The girl that was awesome. Will definitely be...
