Patron's Hacienda - Chicago

We reserved a table for on Cinco De Mayo. Can be tricky on a big holiday like that but we where seated early, not fuss about the whole group not being there right at which is always nice!! The food and drinks as always where great, we had some issues with our order being right though not sure if it was the added noise because of the holiday or that server but it was annoying enough I took off a star. They had a piece Mariachi band in for the occasion which was a really nice addition to the night

The large red lamp shades make the bar side of the place more interesting. Decent Mexican food including a couple of nicely cooked skirt steak offers the carne asada was quite flavorful and surprisingly tender. The carnitas tacos were tasty. The queso fundido w chorizo was good but the proportion of chorizo to cheese was off needed more than a sprinkling of chorizo. Did NOT appreciate the waiter bringing two cadillac margaritas at each when I ordered the House traditional margarita. To make the matter worse, the cadillac tasted no better than the traditional and just somewhat bigger in goblets as oppose to a glass at a significant mark up. Crazy busy on Cinco de Mayo. Should have paid more attention to what was served

Food was lukewarm. Had to walk to the back of the restaurant to ask for service. Lightbulbs needed to be replaced. Just really a bummer. Won't be back

Very spacious. Separate bar and dining areas. Very happy having gone in not knowing what to expect. Not fancy, but good, chilled atmosphere with tasty drinks

Nice place, very colorful. Waitress was very nice,energetic and attentative. The food was good, however if you can't handle spicy food then please let your waitress know. The food was good no complaints on that end
