Don Patron Brooklyn Reviews
We are coming the second time with my husband. The atmosphere is very cozy. Margaritas are amazing. The food is excellent. This place deserves more recognition for sure. I highly recommend!!!
Quesadilla was great. Loaded with cheese, not dry, came with pico, sour cream, and guac. The staff were really nice. The location and music were more relaxed than some other places.
The Birria Tacos are delicious 😋 Highly recommend. The Chile Relleno is ok. The staff is so nice. They don't have AC but fans throughout the restaurant. Clean bathrooms.
absolutely amazing food and drinks for a reasonable price. you have to get the flan!! it was delicious
Love this place. Food is delicious and Pedro knows how to make the drinks right! This place is somewhat of a hidden gem. It has been here for years snd the owners are super nice. The consistency of excellent service and great tasting authentic food makes me want to come back everytime.
It was a pleasure to eat and drink at Don Patrons Mexican bar and grill. Caught up with an old friend and happen to find this by chance. I ordered the Torta which was off the chain and had a beer. Next time I'll try the other foods. Waiter/bartender was attentive and friendly. I live in NJ and work in Brooklyn so the next time I'm feeling for authentic Mexican food I will stop here before I head home. Very decorative and very clean. Even the owners came out to greet us. 5 Stars hands down for me.
Really good food. Nice staff and service. I would definitely go back. My grade is 92.
Amazing food, homemade style. It might seem empty, but definitely worth coming in! Little hidden gem! Huge portions, fresh food. Hospitality here is amazing!
Awesome little gem in the outskirts of Flatbush. Family ran and operated and the food is simply delicious. It's a very inviting environment place with take out and uber eats available. It cant be seen easily from the street but once you find it you weren't regret it. Will definitely revisit the location very very soon.
Great place, love the authentic food and the service is amazing. I've searched far and wide and have not found a torta that compares to the delicious sandwich I eat here
The spicy hibiscus margarita has the perfect kick and the chicken enchiladas are rich! Highly recommend, will be back.
Guys, this is straight up good Mexican food. Get the shrimp fajitas. Plus they gave a liquor license now and the drinks are strong!!!

I love this place. Ernesto and his wife are so sweet. I come for lunch, sit at the bar, drink a beer, eat a burrito, and watch the awesome banda/norteño music videos like a gentleman. simple. Viva Mexico
Very prompt and welcoming service. So many options at such good value. The food we got was top tier.

Delicious homemade-style food — absolutely 10/10. Everyone in our group loved it! The staff are incredibly kind and humble, which made the experience even better.
Amazing all around. Ernesto (the owner) was very welcoming from the moment we walked in until the moment we left. I had ordered the steak enchiladas and my friend the steak burrito. Seeing your food be prepared by both Ernesto and his wife made the experience even better. Felt like we were eating with family. Will be visiting again very soon!

I was out and stumbled upon this restaurant. I did not get a chance to eat being that I ate prior to arriving so I just had a drink. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was very warming. I ordered a Paloma cocktail with a shot of tequila and it was one of the best drinks I ever had. Plan on coming back for the food. If you’re in the area please check it out!
The food exceeded expectations. Great place for good food and some tequila. It’s a mom and pop place and they are great. We had the tilapia and beef tacos. The tilapia was very tasty for a fish that could be bland. The tacos were great as well. Recommend trying this place.
Make sure you specify the burrito lunch special. They don't have it on the menu. Big difference in price - special is only the burrito. The regular menu one has all the fixings. Good food otherwise.
