What Traveling The World likes about The Patron Mexican Grill:
Mexican owned restaurant that has a beautiful vibe. Went there for dinner and I was seated promptly. Service was excellent. Had a spicy jalapeño margarita and shrimp chimichangas. The margarita was amazing. The chimichanga was perfectly spiced and was delicious. View all feedback.

Hubby kept asking and I was hesitant about this placeLoved itThe salsa is not your usual watery heat fest, a little thicker and full of flavor.
