El Patron Tacos & Tequila

So when we went it was practically empty, ok cool no reason to rush. Order our food, get some salsa. First off the salsa was straight puree salsa water, there was no way to actually put it on a chip because it was a liquid. My kids like the way it tastes so I didn't really complain I just waited for my food to come out. He ordered a taco salad and I ordered fajita nachos. The nachos I got were awesome exactly what I wanted and what I expected! But the taco salad y'all! The meat was undercooked and there was absolutely no seasoning. Then you can tell they did not drain the meat before they put it in there because the bottom was soggy with grease like lots of grease. When I spoke to the employee about it and you could obviously see we had not ate it and they told me "sorry that's how it comes. We do not season our meat." Hey then proceeded to get the menu and show me where it says only ground beef It does not say seasoned ground beef. So I simply suggested they should at least drain it from now on before they put it in there if they're not going to season it. I paid my tab and told him they could throw it away because it was garbage. I even still left a tip after paying for something that we literally could not eat. Good luck to them in the future but I highly suggest you start seasoning your meat and take the time to fully cook it and drain it before serving!! There was literally nobody else in the store, it's not like you were in a rush.

The service was amazing and the food was even more amazing!!! Staff took very good care of us and checked on us often to make sure everything was okay. One of the best mexican restaurants in clinton and i am so excited to see this business grow :)

A+! Food was Delicioso! Chicken was tender and packed with flavor. Everything was fresh. My new favorite Mexican restaurant.

Best burrito in Clinton! El Patron Tacos and Tequila!
Update: Being that I was born and raised outside of Chicago, I am extremely picky about my authentic Mexican cuisine. After moving to the south, I realized that Mexican food in the south is more Tex-Mex. The food here seems to be breaking out of the Tex-Mex hamster wheel. The food they serve here is authentic. In the booth next to us there was a family trying to convince the waiter to make their meals Tex-Mex style instead of authentic Mexican. The ridiculousness of trying to communicate this to the waiter was hilarious. There are many restaurants in Clinton that serve Tex-Mex style Mexican food, so that's what you're looking for. Try those places. If what you're looking for is more authentic style Mexican food. This is the place you need to go. I give it a solid 9 out of 10. The only reason for the nine is there seem to be a small amount of staff for a large restaurant. But other than that everything was great.

Awesome dinner. Everything was fresh and authentic. The host and server were super nice. Food came out pretty quickly and piping hot.
Definitely a must try!
