What Customers Say

My husband brought me to this restaurant, and I fell in love with everything about it from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere was beautiful, the service was great, and they absolutely did not miss with the food. Every dish was delicious and full of flavor. I can't wait to come back and highly recommend giving this place a try!

This new Mexican restaurant is a significant upgrade over the former one in this location. The space is renovated and my Chile Rellno combo was among the best I've had. The only downside was that the prices are higher (~$25 per entre), but still seemed like a good value for the quality served.

Paul Dietz

We were excited to see this place open up, and that Magdalena is back from the early days of Casa Patron. Their fajitas and margaritas are the best in the area and we cant wait to go back soon. Highly recommend adding it to your list the next time you’re in the mood for great Mexican food!
