This is my go to restaurant in Uniontown. It is never a long wait to get our food and the servers are very attentive. There is never any issue if I modify my entree to include or exclude ingredients. This place has the best margaritas! My wife and I always get Queso for our chips. My go to entrees are the Molcajete, Burrito Durango or any of the Fajitas all of which are a lot of food. They have menu items for kids that don't like to try something new. They will make an effort to accommodate special requests if you don't see exactly what you want. I don't think I have sat at a table or booth where I was unable to see a TV. Great place to watch sports during mealtimes. It is never too loud and even when it is really busy I don't feel crowded. I only have one complaint and that is concerning the fee they charge to pay with a card. It was either 3 or 4% as I recall. Par for the course considering the state of the economy. Not going to dock a star for it though.

Walking in I thought this place would be authentic. The decor inside and out was a good representation of Mexico. The menu had alot of choices. I was looking forward to a true Mexican meal and ordered three soft chicken tacos.What I received was anything but authentic. I have had better Mexican at Taco Bell. The soft tortillas were not grilled or even warmed. The chicken was extremely dry and flavorless. I specifically did no tomatoes only to discover stewed tomatoes under the meat. Shredded lettuce but no cheese. Why no cheese? I did order sour cream for an upcharge....was cheese extra too? I have no idea but got none. No lime or cilantro garnishment either.The complimentary chips and salsa was lifeless. Tasted like cardboard and the salsa extremely runny. My horchata was clearly from a mix, the least they could have done was add a sprinkle of cinnamon. Prices were fair and entree sizes were decent, it's a shame it's not worth eating. Service was OK, Would not stop here again.

I hate to say this, but 3 stars is generous for my visit.Details:Saturday/ 1/14/2023 at 7:3pm.Seating: immediate (party of 1)Order: Special Yolandas (chicken enchiladas), frozen raspberry margarita, and the complimentary chips/salsa.Impression:-First: is salt illegal in Pennsylvania? Or forbidden on the menu? This is my first time in PA and I'm not sure. I don't like a lot of salt, but dang, I could not taste any on the chips, meal, or salsa. And there wasn't a salt shaker on the table for me to add a little. Seriously, is salt illegal in this state??-Second: it's bad enough that there didn't seem to be salt on/in anything, but the chicken enchiladas were really dry and plain. Hardly any moisture or flavor. I only ended up eating 1.5 of the 3 enchiladas.-The rice was ok and, thankfully, not dry.-The guac had cilantro, so I didn't even try it. Cilantro p*sses me off very very badly, and I wish Mexican restaurants would not put it in everything. Or at least offer cilantro-free versions. Bottom line: others may love this place based on the 4.5 star average, but I was not impressed at all. Sorry, not sorry. 3 stars for this meal is actually generous.

I'm having a bad streak of dining out, sorry for the negativity on your feed! Stopped in on a weeknight, the food itself was just simply not good. The salsa had no flavor, and my entree fell very short. The prices were very reasonable, and portions were large. Sadly, the quality of the food was just not very good. My shrimp was so plain, and was sitting in what seemed like a runny tomato paste. The rice wasn't authentic, and the beans just seemed canned.

Great food, drinks, and service! First time I've been there, so we looked at the menu before we went. I'm glad we did! It's huge and has a lot of specialty dishes that other restaurants don't. The price range is very reasonable, especially for the amount of food you get.

I have a much better opinion of the establishment after returning for another try. Now I'm going about every day. Have to admit because I want a beer that is highly rejected at my home. My first couple of visits, I felt that a couple of people who managed/worked were very unfriendly/hospitable. So I didn't return for a while. Now I have had exactly the opposite experience. They are professional and remember you and what you like. They are polite and friendly but keep it to a minimum as they are busy maintaining the service and cleanliness to all patrons. I have not tried many choices in food items. But what I have tried is very good and the service is excellent so far. Very fast service even in busy times. It is a larger much nicer Mexican/Latino restaurant. Appears to be quite clean overall; very nice decor and in generally very good condition. Unlike many others. And it's been mostly warm in these bad temperatures. I really dislike sitting in a restaurant with a winter coat on and it's cold the whole time you are there. I only eat seafood as a meat item and no other animal sources. So my shrimp tacos have been very good. Their chips and guacamole are actually excellent as compared to other same style restaurants and are stated to be homemade. I'd try more choices but I like others are in a financial bind. I do enjoy the draft dos equis amber beer. Very fresh. I have had too many stale ones elsewhere. So even if I have to drive an extra 20 min in my trip, I will do so now every time as the latest restaurant i am sitting at right now is extremely disappointing and I will not go back there (have tried this other place in California 3 times and it's awful today and very cold. Stale chips stale beer and so so guacamole. Little "hole in the wall.")Tomorrow it's back to El Patron in Uniontown PA. I'll rate the food more once I try more.

Great experience again! We met friends for dinner, and everything was delicious. Our server was attentive and everything was correct. El Patron is one of our favorite restaurants and we go regularly.

Very mediocre. Started by ordering a Texas Margarita straight up. Waiter brings a big mug-like drink filled with ice. I tell him that's not straight up and he brings me the same big mug-like glass now half filled with a warm margarita. Should have known better since the menu offered pitchers of this lousy margarita. It went downhill from there. Couldn't get waiter to come back to take our order. Finally ordered mixed fajitas and chimichangas. Both just very ordinary. Mixed fajitas had some of the meat and veggies charred black on the hot sizzling plate. Also just to make things interesting wait staff were super load dumping plates into trays as they cleared tables. All in all find someplace else.

We have eaten at this place several times. It's the best Mexican restaurant in town. Never had a bad meal and service is always good.
