10 out of 10 we had the quessabirra and the lunch pollo plate, large portions, delicious food, and scrumptious margaritas and amazing service! Drove 3 1/2 hours out of state and will return :)

Throwing a party? Get it catered with this delicious food! We had a birthday party of 20 people and the party platter for 15 was enough food for all of us (we got an extra taco platter). Everyone couldn’t stop talking about how delicious the chicken was! Chef’s kiss! The owner and his son go above and beyond-making sure you have everything you need. Support local-you won’t be disappointed!

Staff clearly believes in friendly customer service. Portions are good-sized. My bowl was piled high. If I had one suggestion, I would make the rice portion slightly smaller and add more lettuce. Everything was quite savory however. I'll have to come back and try some of the other dishes. You could probably get in and out quickly at lunch. They also have some large chicken catering options: 10 whole chickens!

Amazing great tacos!!! My wife and I are impressed and this is our taco shop from here on out! Unfortunately I ate all my tacos before I thought to take a photo so here is my empty plate haha The manager was really nice and got us a high chair from the restaurant next door since they didn’t have any left!

Wow!! I wish I had found this amazing family owned spot sooner!! Mom dad and sons were working when I came in and gave exceptional service. They have a big variety of food from Mexican rotisserie chicken to traditional Latin flavors like tacos, burritos etc . Best tacos I’ve had in the area!! Topping Los dos in authentic flavors! Reasonably priced, clean, kid friendly (big affordable kids menu) locally owned and delicious!

Stopped in for a quick snack. Fast and filling. Authentic flavor... Get the hot salsa. The tortillas could be more heated.

I hate to say it but this place was a huge let down. This isn't your average taqueria, this is a cafeteria style restaurant. We were not expecting that going on. As for the positives, the staff was extremely friendly, the restaurant was very clean inside, and it was fairly busy. As for the negatives, I got the Asada Burrito Bowl & the Asada was very overcooked and burnt. After two bowls & two beers it was basically $40 which felt like a lot. The quality of some of the food wasn't great (not sure how long the rice was sitting). Overall, this place was kind of a let down :( I feel really bad because it's a family owned business, but give it a try. It just personally wasn't for me.

We recently ordered a variety of tacos, a steak burrito, and a smothered burrito from Tacos el Patron's online menu. The portions were generous, and the pick-up process was easy. While waiting, I was offered a complimentary horchata--really nice! They added everything but the kitchen sink to the smothered burrito and I felt like they really some to please. Overall it was flavorful and a solid choice. We will be sure to order again when looking for Mexican food.

You know when you drive past a place and you're like oh I should try that place and then a few days later you forget your lunch and then you realize it's a perfect time to try said place? Yeah, that was Tacos el Patron and I'm glad I did! Lots of choices, fast, fresh food, friendly & staff. I would recommend!

What a dope family owned spot!!! I had the pleasure of going this weekend with my hubby and friends that introduced us to this place, and wowowowwow talk about Flavor Town! We tried the tacos, and the quesabirria. I love that you can mix and match your protein options, giving yourself the chance to try all the meat options! The staff was really friendly, Jose helped us out and its actually his family that owns the shop! The consume to the quesabirria was my favorite part-- I could have drank it as a soup it was that tasty! I enjoyed their roasted jalapeno it was spicy and made my lips tingle(: We also tried their chocoflan and I enjoyed it! The wall art was dope and even has their family name on the hat, love the pride!! Oh and they have a Clean bathroom! Grateful to have a spot like this outside Denver! Cant wait to be back!!!

Always ask the server what's the best and it paid off today. We came in for tacos but, after talking to the server, we opted for the taco salad. It was delicious. We got pretty much everything on it including a roasted jalapeño. Great add on at the end of the line that's not available at other places. 5 stars again this trip. .

Where to start...how about nice and friendly folks who were working. The lady was so sweet and helpful. The food? We did carne asada tacos and they were so tasty. I also was able to get a sample of their smother sauce and it was yum with just the right amount of kick. It was very clean - they also have an option for a bowl - I may have to try that next time. Try this place! I guess it's slowed down since a couple places closed and I hope the community can come together to support a locally owned place that delivers on service, quality, and food!

This is a must try if you're in the area! Stumbled upon this taco shop and found out they recently opened 3 months ago. I ordered two asada tacos and you could taste the quality in the ingredients. Hubby got 4 quesabirria tacos where you can mix and match the fillings. The quesabirria tacos were absolutely incredible. The service was great, very friendly, restaurant is super clean, and we will absolutely be back!

The details: Came in on Thursday evening to grab a quick bite. Not super late, but a couple hours before closing. Wife ordered a half chicken meal, I grabbed three tacos. Both meals came with beans and rice. The review: The rotisserie chicken was extremely dry, almost like the turkey Chevy Chase served on Christmas Vacation. Looked like jerky. My tacos were poorly seasoned, and I had to dump a bunch of salt and salsa to make them taste better. The corn tortillas had a funny taste to them. Probably from sitting in a steamer all afternoon. For $30, I'll go to the local taco trucks next time.

I've been back a total of 4 times and each time is better than the last! The food has always been delicious but I mainly go for the chicken!! It's delicious and crispy every single time, paired with the rice/beans and salsa it's the perfect lunch/dinner combo. I've even tried their tacos and quesadillas and everything has been seasoned to perfection. Great place, I try to stop by every time I'm in the area.

Been looking for a good rotisserie chicken and this place has great options. I like the half chicken dinner, so flavorful for all the chicken pieces. Great tasting rice and salsa. Not a fan of the nachos but will try the burritos next.

What a fantastic addition to south Denver near Park Meadows Mall!!! I ordered the 2 piece rotisserie chicken meal- she gave me a sample of the chicken and it was sooo moist and flavorful! For sides I had the pinto beans (again so flavorful) and the coleslaw. It also comes with choice of tortillas and choice of salsa- I had the flour tortillas and avocado salsa and medium red salsa. Sat here and made my own little tacos and it was so authentic and delicious. I'm from California and I miss this style of Mexican food! This is a family owned restaurant and they are so hospitable and excited to share their creations! The menu also includes burritos, tacos, quesadillas and nachos- can't wait to come back and eat my way through the menu! It will remind u of the El Pollo Loco chicken meals except this is more fresh and delicious!! Go and enjoy!

This family owned place is an amazing alternative to the food options in this area. The chicken was tender and juicy, the sides and sauces full of flavor and the service faultless. I will certainly consider this restaurant as my to go favorite for family dinner.

These tacos taste like abuela herself whispered the recipe to the chicken spinning on the rotisserie. Juicy, smoky, and so good, I'm tempted to invite myself to their family dinner. Four stars and I'd give a fifth if I could have the recipe for the chicken!

The food was delicious. I took my boys out for dinner and to my surprise, they wanted tacos. So to Tacos El Patron we went. The staff was very nice and the food was outstanding. This is definitely now our local taco shop. Next time, we'll even bring Mommy.

Don't judge a book by its cover. The food is amazing and the portions are good too. Service is friendly and knowledgeable. They even knew what's gluten free and what isn't.

The chicken was the best out of everything we tried. We will be back just for that alone! The tacos were good but average and the burrito was also good. Will be back for sure. Also love the grilled jalapeños on the side

This place is THE SPOT! We moved here from AZ about 9 months ago and have been searching for a great Taco spot. This is our #1 Taco spot; authentic, flavorful tacos! Plus it's family owned! Highly recommend to anyone looking for their new favorite spot.

Here is a little treasure we found recently that you should give a try! All the good Mexican dishes you are accustomed to and a whole rotisserie chicken menu to try. Really amazing flavor and sides to make a meal for your family. Great people that want their business to be successful. Give them a try! Dine in as there is plenty of space or take your food To Go!!

Thank goodness for this place! We just went here and had one of every taco. The tacos and salsas were wonderful and flavorful. We will definitely make this part of the regular rotation.

The food was pretty good. We wish there was music instead of sports on the TV but that's probably just us.

Real Mexican food, no Tex-mex. Grandmothers and moms making the food - perfect and no need to add extra hot sauce since everything is seasoned just right but you can if you want.
