Mariscos El Patron 323 Raleigh — Restaurant in Raleigh

La birria esta buena, pero el viejillo que atiende es medio despota.

The birria is good however they have no sence of customer service. Theres an old man who am guessing might be the owner who is not friendly at all. I came here often and suggested it to my friends because their food is good however my last experience was not good as I had to pay for a plate I didn’t order when I went to tell the man that I ordered something different than what he gave me he denied that it was his mistake he did offer to replace it but the fact that he was saying was my foult is what made me angry. I know what I ordered if it had been my mistake, or I would of doubted what I ordered I wouldn’t have went back or even said anything. But I know I ordered the right thing because this day I went specifically to try the Ramen Birria. Bad business here, they need to learn...

I ordered on door dash so I can't comment on the atmosphere. I ordered the Birria pizza and Birria ramen. Birria ramen did not even get delivered, but I don't know if that is the restaurant or DoorDash fault, so I won't blame them. The Birria pizza looked impressive, great presentation but overall pretty bland. The pizza was stuffed with meat and cheese and they give you three Birria tacos on the side (beef only, no cheese). The consumme was honestly the most disappointing part - it wasn't rich and flavorful at all, it was basically just watery broth. Overall it was ok. I keep seeing Birria pizzas all over the internet so I wanted to try one and this is one of the only ones local I could find! I don't think I would order from here again - still curious about the Birria...

I was excited to try birrieria tacos for the first time. Pulling into the lot I was pleasantly surprised to find a plethora of other Hispanic businesses. The food truck had a line of people but it moved quickly. I was with a party of four, so we decided to order the party platter. I forget how many exactly, but it was around 12 beef and 12 beef with cheese. We waited about 25 minutes and luckily one of the three outdoor make shift tables next to the truck opened up.

Tacos were a little soggy, not as crispy and well cooked as what I’ve seen from other places. The cheese tacos are definitely a lot better. The consommé was really water downed and didn’t have much flavor. Now that I’ve found other places that serve birrieria tacos I will not be...
