I had an amazing meal there. The drinks were on point and so was the staff. Instead of going to the McDonald's next door stop in here . I see a lot of reviews on here about pricing and I can say personalIty I think its perfect pricing for the serving size you get. I took so much chicken home from my fajitas I made two more for lunch the next day.

Maybe 3.5 stars. The first thing that you notice upon entering the restaurant is the colorful chairs, tables, and streamers. We waited for a few minutes at the entrance for the seating host. A man finally showed up and directed us to a table. The server took our drink orders and asked us if we were ready to order food. My husband replied that we needed a few more minutes to look at the menu. The server thought that he said that we wanted tortilla chips and salsa. Well, OK. The server returned with two waters although my husband ordered a soda. My husband again requested a soda, and the server brought it out with the chips. I ordered the Patron Quesadilla Fajita, which says in the menu "filled with your choice of marinated sirloin strips, marinated chicken strips & shrimp." I actually did not get to choose among those three because they are all included. My husband ordered the Patron Fajita. We both enjoyed the taste of the food, and his fajita generously contained very large shrimp.

Delicious and GREAT service! Coffee was horrible (I know, who orders coffee at a Mexican restaurant? But it's 1° out!) Fast service, nice menu selection, and reasonably priced.

We have a Patron near us in Wexford but we happened to be in Monroeville so decided we would stop in. The service was excellent! I wish I could remember the server's name but he was really good. Then came the surprising part...the food at this Patron was so much better than the one in Wexford. I had a chicken burrito that was outstanding! The chicken was tender and had wonderful flavor! My wife had a steak burrito which was not a good as the chicken (we both agreed) but it was very good as well. I highly recommend this location and will eat there again when in the area!

I wish would could remember the server's name; she was excellent! The ambiance in the restaurant was good, too. We got a pitcher of the house margaritas ($25 for 60oz - not bad!) and found it really delicious. I ordered the Patron Fajitas and my husband chose the Carne Asada. His meal came with what was essentially 3 petite steaks, while I was given what amounted a full piece of chicken, a petite steak, and 6 large shrimp. Plus all the extras. For the price, we were really happy with the portion size. Both of us thought our meats were seasoned really well and all of the sides were delicious. We were given chips, salsa, and guacamole and enjoyed all of these as well. In all, it was a great stop for lunch and we're really glad we tried it. Next time we'll bring the little one and see how the kid's menu holds up!

I love the decor -- bright colors all around and the table and chairs are highly decorative. The staff was polite, friendly, and efficient. The menu, while looking extensive, was missing any pork enchiladas. Drat! I ordered steak fajitas instead and a margarita. Both were good but, honestly, how could you mess up a fajita, anyways. The sides were the standard rice and refried beans. It comes with complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was run-of-the-mill salsa. So, all in all, I liked the decor the best. The rest was satisfactory, just not stellar.

This is not the best Mexican restaurant I have ever been to... They were not willing to cater to the most simple requests like adding tomatoes to my taco. I ordered a side of guac and it came in the tiniest little cup and they charged me $2.50 for it! The food was okay, but there are better restaurants for better prices

What a far way from the Chilis this location this use to be. Don't confuse this with El Patron. What I like about this business is they always have some special going on. A happy hour, burrito Tuesday etc. Definitely going during happy hour, the drinks are such a great deal you can get a couple for the price of one. They have their own parking lot which is nice. They do get very busy so get there a head of time to catch a seat!

Came here and immediately regret it! The guacamole was the same cheap pasty kind you can get at any hole in the wall mexican place, the prices are insanely overpriced! I paid 6 bucks for a tiny kids size quesadilla! They also have zero customer service! So mad i wasted my time and money here!
2 for $20 deal going on here! Not that i ordered it because it was lunch and i had a coupon only good for $8 but this is a pretty awesome deal anywhere you go, just make sure you order water to keep the cost down. So on to the review... This place is popping with color and decorations of authentic mexican life and culture. So many reds, oranges, blues, yellows you name it, they had it! Our booth was decorated so festively with one back rest being a mask with what looked like feathers and the other was a man working on a farm during the day. The designs were so outstanding you almost forget your at a restaurant. It was practically a hispanic art gallery aside from few sculptures. So, we were greeted instantly upon entrance. Seated at the table of our choice and given menu. After we ordered our waters a young man brought up a basket of chips and salsa for munching. They have great salsa too, not too spicy not too mild but perfect for my taste buds. The chips were crispy and fresh witha slight buttery taste from the oil they are fried in. After a few minutes we ordered from the lunch menu. They have lunch specials i might add for $5-$7 which is a great price but unfortunately we couldn't use the coupon on any of the specials. No big deal though. The lunch menu has plenty of items under $8 so it wasn't hard to choose. I ordered the taco salad and and chicken corn taco. My friend ordered a enchilada with extra onions and beans. Once the food came it was perfectly hot and nicely organized. The Taco salad was way bigger than I thought and i was a little upset that I ordered the extra taco. I thought it would be smaller, like the size of a burrito but this shell was about 8 inches long and 3 inches wide and 5 inches high..It was full of plenty of shredded chicken, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream. It comes with melted cheese but i decided to save on the calories. Her dish looked good as well. It need a little extra sauce but it was just as hot and fresh as mine was. The taco shell was so light and crispy. I would break pieces off and top it with the salad mixture as if it were a dip and boy was that great. I ate my taco first which was a bad idea because I didn't have enough room to finish my taco salad :( Anywho, i managed to finish most of it but was sad that I had to throw some of it away. I was eating rather slow so the bottom of the shell got a little soggy by the time i got to the end of it. The service was well too. Our waiter always brought us whatever we needed in a timely manner and never showed a hostile face. We made him run back so many times for water, napkins, extra sauce, extra chips you name it. But all in all he made us very comfy. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a fast, cheap meal with lots of flavor!!

First time at Patron. The restaurant is very nicely decorated, a very festive place! Our server, David, was excellent and attentive. The food was good, but not as flavorful as you would expect from Mexican food. The chicken fajita was huge, but no cheese was served with the fajitas. The enchiladas in 4 different fillings, chicken, beef, bean and cheese could have had more flavor, but I do not get the shredded lettuce and tomato slices served on top of the enchiladas. The chips were warm, crisp and delicious. The salsa was awesome. We will definitely return!

Had Lunch no. 1 consisting of soggy taco with tasteless beef, bland chili relleno, and record beans. Wife had shrimp tacos, said shrimp was tasty but also a soggy presentation. Lots better food down the street.

After hearing good things about the place I thought we'd give it a shot...disappointing at best!! Not sure what jar they get their salsa out of but putting it in the little glass bottles doesn't hide the fact that it's terrible...her order came out and it was as if they forgot to cut the meat up...huge, dry chunks of beef & chicken...I ordered the patron fajitas and while the shrimp was large & tasty I bit into a piece of chicken with BONES still in it...yummy!! The lime margs were passable...we ordered pico and got the smallest plastic container...you couldn't even get a chip into it??! Plus it was not fresh at all...we also ordered some chipotle queso and got pink watery stuff...zero taste!! Will never return!

1st time to this restaurant . I should have known this was not going to be a good experience from the get go. The menus have things marked out my marker. Ok one item I get. Numerous items I do not.The sign with the hours was digital but have a paper over one of the time instead of changing it. These little things point to if a business takes care of the small things. Ok one item I get. Numerous items I do not. The best part was the queso. The tacos were bland. The rice ..... Bland. The decor was nice but past that not much else, 1st and last time to this place.

Our third visit to this classic Mexican restaurant in Monroeville. Although we often go to MadMax 'cause I love the fish tacos and margaritas, tonight we wanted classic Mexican fare, and the atmosphere and decor seems fun in Patron. I decided on the Enchiladas Mexicanos (I believe, since I'm still a bit upset by the experience). I asked for a bean enchilada and two cheese enchiladas with onions, further specifying I wanted the onions inside. The Asian (since I did not get his name this is my only way to identify him for you) bartender/waiter seemed put off about the onions inside the enchiladas. Why, I thought, as I've gotten onion and cheese enchiladas lots and lots of times in other Mexican restaurants. When our bartender brought the order he said 'This is the last time you can ever order these like this again! The cook said it was really, really hard and he'll never make it again'. The he muttered 'he was really mad.' I was shocked and humiliated. I was scolded for what I ordered and for what reason? Didn't he know such a statement would most likely keep me from ever coming back? My husband and I just looked at each other and said 'what was that?" I decided to keep my mouth shut since the Pirates were winning on the Root channel and the salsa was good enough. As I dig into my enchiladas I discover the two (oh, so difficult to make onion and cheese enchiladas) were in fact just a couple corn tortillas wrapped around a couple slices of onions. That did it. When our very missing bartender finally returned, I sort of lost it. I confronted him about scolding me and low and behold look how difficult these were to make I pointed to him on the plate! No Cheese even! He told me to 'calm down' and I said how dare you, after the scolding you gave me about how tough the enchiladas were to make......The manager came out and I told him about it. He was nice, and removed my meal from our check, but it was too little too late.

My husband and I came here at 5 on a Sunday night when we were trying to use a Darden Restaurants (Olive Garden, Red Lobster) gift card that we had received, but found that all of those restaurants in Monroeville had an hour wait! Why anyone would wait so long to eat somewhere lacking in character, when this place was directly across the street, with ample open seating, was beyond me! The relative early timing of our visit meant that Happy Hour pricing on margaritas was in effect. They were $3.50 and STRONG, great for washing down the spicy salsa that came with the chips. Service was attentive and the food was good. I got a chimichanga and my husband got the vegetarian fajitas. All tasty, well spiced, and in very filling portions. The TVs were not a big distraction for us. There were mostly families there eating, and we didn't observe a gross, sports-bar-esque atmosphere (which tends to annoy us very much as well). It's all in the timing, I guess, but we had a fine time, enjoying the kitschy decor on a grey winter day.

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

I'm surprised to see SO MANY 4-star reviews for this restaurant. While the service is very good, as is the pure quantity of food, the actual food itself leaves a lot to be desired (in my opinion). Maybe folks are purely interested in price-point with this spot - but I don't get it...and this was a Saturday night. The chips tasted "blah" and stale, the salsa was watery, and the entrée was bland. That said, the staff was over-the-top friendly and the décor of the restaurant was fitting for a fun, lively, Mexican restaurant. All in all - as I'm new to the Pittsburgh dining scene, I only hope there are better alternatives out there for good, fast, cheap Mexican food.

Went to Patron for lunch and was surprised by the bright festival atmosphere. Great lunch vibe that I'm not sure would translate well to a dinner vibe, it's THAT colorful and playful. Service was excellent and attentive. Friends both had chimichanga and reported that they were flavorful and tasty. I cannot remember what I had, but know that it was good, no complaints. Here's what I definitely remember: The taco salad that was served to our neighbors looked fantastic. So I was suffering from menu remorse. Next time I'll certainly try the taco salad. Due to the daylight décor, it will certainly be lunch and not dinner.
