Patron Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Spokane

The first time I ate here was 2 years ago for supper. I ordered the chile rellenos, my favorite Mexican food. Not here. They were disgusting! There was so much of the oil they are fried in on my plate.....the chile rellenos were saturated and swimming. They tasted like the frying oil had not been changed for several months. Fast forward 2 years to 2024. Supposedly they are under new management. Maybe so. But they still have the same lousy cooks in the kitchen. This time I ordered the fajitas. Now, you must understand I lived in Texas previously for 16 years and have exceptional Mexican food. Not here. Spokane has the worst Mexican food ever, especially at Patron. The fajitas are terrible. I don't recommend this restaurant to anyone. The restaurant was clean and the waitress was polite, but that's about the only good...

I recently visited this Mexican restaurant, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and decent price!. The salsa was flavorful with just the right amount of kick, and the nachos hit the spot, especially for my pregnancy craving. The toppings were fresh, and the combination of melted cheese, guacamole, and jalapeños made for a satisfying dish.

The enchiladas were delicious as well, with a good balance of sauce and cheese. The rice and beans on the side complemented the meal nicely. Portions were generous, leaving us quite full by the end.

Service was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was casual and relaxed, which made for a comfortable dining experience.

Overall, a great spot to satisfy a craving for Mexican food. I’ll...
