Casual BYOB Mexican spot with great tacos & Gringa taco
"L’Patron is a BYOB spot in Logan Square. Their Gringa taco is technically more of a tortilla sandwich, but we’re including it anyway because it’s our guide, and we make the rules. It comes with al pastor and a lot of melted chihuahua cheese served on thick handmade tortillas that easily hold their own against the rich filling." - adrian kane, john ringor
"Brothers Ernesto and César Gonzáles have made their family recipe for steak tacos famous at their Logan Square establishment. An alternative to the asada tacos made with finely chopped meat, at L’ Patron, tacos are served with juicy chunks of top-notch beef that have been tenderized with a citrus marinade and spices. The result is a delicious flavor that takes you back to a backyard “carne asada”. If steak is not your thing, there are many other tacos on the menu to sample. Don’t forget to bring dollar bills because L’Patron is cash only. However, a newer location on Damen in Bucktown — L’Patron Grill — does accept credit." - Brenda Storch
"L’Patron is a casual BYOB Mexican spot that has great tacos. There’s a long menu of options including carne asada, lengua, shrimp, and poblana rajas with caramelized onions. But for something more substantial, order the Gringa taco. It’s al pastor with a lot of melted chihuahua cheese served on thick handmade tortillas, and it will give you all the sustenance necessary to explain to your friends that you need to get home to your dog. You know, because it’s the “dog” who has separation anxiety." - adrian kane
