We were saved when these lovely folks moved into the neighborhood on Boonsboro Rd., Kroger shopping area. A couple of Californians who have lived and dined on the best Mexican food between SoCal and NM were hard-pressed to find the soul food of our youth. Well, we found it at Mi Patron. The food is fresh, fresh, fresh, very well made, tasty, and always left us satisfied. Also, reasonably priced. Even the chips are superior to other restaurants that claim to offer Mexican cuisine. This is the real deal, folks. Take it from a few out of towners that lived just 30 miles north of the border their whole lives. I wouldn't think of ending without mentioning the gracious host and waitstaff. Good people. Enjoy!
