Don't judge a book by its cover. We really enjoyed this stripmall Mexican jointWe stopped in on a Saturday afternoon. We were quickly seated in a comfy booth. They also have regular tables, bar seating, and a patio available. They could probably fit large groups pretty well. It's a lot bigger than it appears. Of course, we started with complimentary chips & salsa. I love that they serve the thick salsa that has a little kick, not the watery stuff. The food came out in a very reasonable amount of time. I tried the Patron Platter. Don't underestimate the size like I did. This is a large platter. The quesadillas are huge! The Texas rolls were my favorite. Overall, everything was simply delicious. The service was great. Our server was friendly and attentive. This is a family-friendly place. They have high chairs, a changing table, and a kids menu. The restroom was clean as well. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town again.

The place to go if you want a sit-down Mexican meal, otherwise go to taco truck. The music is loud, full bar and they have quick service.Big plate of patron special. chicken, grilled flank steak, seasoned shrimp. I don't know what kind of marinate they use, it is different than typical carne asada. Anyway, it was good. Meat is seasoned and portion is large enough. I take a look at their drink menu, never seen so many margaritas variety before. I only had a beer after work so maybe next time I will try their special margaritas.

Have been to this establishment three times over the past three years and has always been delicious! Today I had the lunch el patron chimichangas and it was so good. The refried beans come in a cute little tortilla cup which I loved. The seasoning on the chicken is delicious. I've also had the pineapple dish too which was so good! The house margarita was good and it was strong....aka the perfect marg. I've also had the jalapeño marg and it was good too!Service is always attentive and excellent. Vibe is spot on & clean too!

Every aspect of our meal experience was spot on. How right! We loved the food, the drinks, the noise level. The waitress was so pleasant and attentive. We went on a Monday night and to be honest the only thing that could have made this outing better was... nothing. It was superb! Our waitress' Jenni's customer service was so good I would think she owned the place.

Food was pretty good, but portions were super small. The cheering tacos are good, but o think I was expecting more of a glaze and they were somewhat dry. Rice was bland and kind of disappointing, but not terrible. The ACP was good, but just so small. Service was good and the staff was all super helpful.

We stumbled on this restaurant. It's somewhat hidden in a small strip mall. But it has never failed us. We love timing our trips to Charlotte to stop her for lunch or dinner.

Stopped in here on a Saturday late afternoon. Super busy, but we were seated fast. Service was on point. Excellent pitcher of margarita, mixed perfect. Food is above average. I really like the way they serve the refried beans, in a hard taco shell. My wife got chicken Chimichanga, which she get everywhere and said it is above average. I went with Carnitas Dinner. It was average, decent flavor - but just a little on the dry side. I really loved the Mexican Corn on the Cobb - maybe Mexican Corn? No idea, but the buttery sweet flavor was killer. Check out my photos!

I really like this restaurant the only thing I don't like is the price. For lunch this can be one of the pricier restaurants in Salisbury for Mexican food. However they do have some healthier options than most Mexican establishments in Salisbury. I think the fresh guacamole they make is really great. They have quite a lot of options that probably the person that wants the most authentic Mexican food in Salisbury this is it. However they charge $3.99 for beverages. Most of their food offerings are around 15 to $25 kind of expensive for lunch. Service has however top notch so you get what you pay for.
