Taquería El Patrón

Really bad service. We were new costumers and they treated us awful. They food is good but not great. They left one of us without food, then we said we didn’t want it anymore and they tried to charge it anyways.

We have tried several times to get in but was always full. We love the food, it was fresh and tasty. Definitely will come back

After four days of being in San Juan and eating overly priced, small portioned mediocre food — our local friends told us about this place. So glad they did!
It is in a ‘shopping center’ in a somewhat sketchy area… You have to be buzzed into the restaurant. Which made us feel safe :) The staff speak clear English so ordering was a breeze.
The place is tiny — 10 tables at most. When we arrived there were 3 people dining — by the time we left it was standing room only and people in and out with to go food.
Service was excellent, we wore the server out with endless orders of «just one more taco» — he would just smile and serve us up more!
The food was excellent — fresh and inexpensive. This place is a hidden jewel!!!
**only thing I would not have ordered was the «queso» dip. It’s not melty like american queso. It’s melted down regular cheese so as soon as air hits it, it hardens up. So order the nachos for the appetizer instead.

Nice concept. The food is not Top’s but it is really worth the price. Accordingly, prices are acceptable and service is fast even when crowded. Clean bathrooms and welcoming smiles.
Clientele is young as is the music target. Not a loud place.
This is a good option and very much worth the visit.
Was told they would be moving soon next door to a bigger spot. I hope they keep the same spirit.
Will be back for seconds…

I went to this rest with high expectatives due to some reviews and some friends comments. Hence I ordered few things in order to get the overall sense of the rest. I ordered nachos as entrée, chicken burrito and chicken taco. My wife ordered the chicken burrito. It was sad to experience that all plates tasted the same. I could order a napkin with chicken and it will be taste the same than my burrito. Not sure if ill visit it again

4.5 estrellas. Súper buen precio, ingredientes frescos, servicio excelente. Es un lugar pequeño con moras de expandir. La comida no es increíble pero se deja comer, es rica y porciones generosas. Volvería a visitar sin duda.

I rarely review any restaurant. But I’m visiting PR and wanted some quick Mexican but I was soooo surprised to find such a wonderful establishment in such a small place in PR. I’ve tried the Al Pastor in other places and this is hands down the best. The ceviche is to die for.
I haven’t reviewed much but I grew up in Texas and lived in San Diego for 5 years since. So I’m hope that makes up for it.

The place is small but it’s worth the visit. The ingredients are all fresh and tasty and the service is fast and excellent. Try my favorites; Ceviche, Al Pastor Meat Tacos and the Guacamole with totopos.
We are locals, and visit the place at least once a week!!!

Pequeño en lugar pero tremendo gigante en servicio, precios y sabor. Se los recomiendo.

AH-​mazing!
After living in AZ for 13 years, I’m a bit of a mexican food snob. It doesn’t get any better than mexican food in the southwest, so I generally steer clear in fear of disappointment. Well who knew I’d experience this spot and have my mind blown away!!!
While in PR we needed a place to eat before going hiking in the rainforest. When I travel, I really like to emerge myself into new cultures and try those places not on the beaten path. Well this is it! It’s literally the size of my living room, with a visible kitchen even smaller. The service was quick and helpful, and the prices almost make you feel like you stealing. This was one of those meals you had to force yourself to stop eating. It is the true meaning of hole in the wall, you even have to be buzzed in and out. Don’t be afraid, it’s just their way of keeping the not-​so-​cool kids out.

Comida excelente y economica. El personal super amable. Recomiendo la carne al pastor.

This is a little hole in the wall, but has incredible food! The owners are very nice and helpful, the restaurant is clean, and the food is fresh. I’d highly recommend a visit for quick and delicious food.
