Mexican Cuisine
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.

This is a very good Mexican restaurant. My son and I shared the triple fajitas, and my wife had the chile relleno plate. Everything was excellent. Definitely will return when in town again.

Great place! Good for a lunch meeting. Food was tasty and quick. Server took my food away too quickly but I think it was just a miscommunication. Would go back every day if I could!

The food was fast and good. Much better than many Mexican restaurants. Decent atmosphere and clean. Sit inside or outside. They have a grilled chimichanga on the menu. Tasty. Great lunch specials for 5 to 6 bucks. Easy to get to, not far off 63 downtown.

So a little bit of Tex-Mex/authentic on my Mexican restaurant journey I have been on in everywhere Iowa. Been eating at more "authentic" places as most say, this is a bit of a hybrid type of joint. Had a little bit a both elements. They have a very fun and nice atmosphere inside, definitely a sitdown restaurant that you will enjoy. The service was great, food comes out fast, and they do have a very large menu of a variety of dishes. Sure you will find something new here. I myself a creature of habit got two tacos and a cheese enchilada. The beef taco had tons of seasoned flavor, yes it was delicious. The chicken had the same, flavor is a key for me and they delivered on both. The enchilada was loaded with sauce and extra cheese, this is how you do it! Very good on all three items, would love to try more here. The chips and salsa had some spice, I wish more had that in their salsa. Spicy salsa is good salsa.

Rolled into town on a Sunday night close to closing time the waitress was great and patient with me and the kids we all had great meals. The relleno was good and so was the carnitas had to wrestle a bite away from my son. Churros for desert. I go to waterloo quite a bit and this may become a regular stop.

Rarely do you find yourself in the middle of nowhere and stumble on a place like this. We were on our way to Minnesota and looking for a quick bite that wasn't fast food when we stumbled on El Patron. I ordered the chicken tortilla soup and a chicken taco which were both awesome! Taco fixings were pretty standard but the chicken itself was amazing- super moist and flavorful. The tortilla soup was not your average soup either. It had broccoli carrots cauliflower and zucchini in it which I've never seen. The broth in the soup was a little dull - could have been more spice or flavor. My friend got the Mexican flag Enchiladas which I took a bite of and I thought it was better than mine! He said it was top 3 enchiladas he's ever had! If you're in the area, I think this would be your best bet for a good meal!

We came here after church on Sunday for lunch. I ordered a shredded beef burrito, my husband a chicken burrito, and a kids quesadilla for our son. We're from San Diego, so we know good Mexican, and this place definitely hit the spot! It's pretty authentic Mexican food and the prices were super good for a sit down. Also, our meal came out really fast. Glad we were able to find good Mexican food out here in the Midwest!
