DON PATRON (Mexican Grill & Cantina)

Don Patron is straight-up fire!
The food is bomb – tacos that'll blow your mind and refried beans that's like creamy heaven.
But it's not just the food, the vibe is super chill and the staff is awesome. Our waitress was the absolute best! She was super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed.
If you're in buffalo area and looking for a place with killer food and even better service, Don Patron is your spot! 🌮🔥

While visiting Buffalo,New York, we found Don Patron Restaurant. I was very impressed. Very clean and neat seating area, good music, excellent service. The food was amazing. We decided for tacos, I had chorizo tacos and my husband bacon shrimp tacos. So delicious! The sides were just perfectly cooked and so flavorful. Their refried beans are the best I ever tasted, and the rice was light and crispy at the same time, just perfect. I highly recommend it. Will for sure come back. The churros were so delicious. Crispy, soft, filled with chocolate, and drizzled with caramel and more chocolate. Perfect! Can not find churros like these anywhere. Couldn't eat all of it, got home placed them in the fridge. One day, I finally ate the rest, and I couldn't believe these churros still tasted perfect. Best churros I ever had, hands down!

If your in the mood for mexican this is your place. The service is great and you will love the atmosphere. The food ..... the food is to die for. Epic sized portions that will keep your taste buds dancing to the music playing in the background. Highly recommend that you stop and experience this place.

We loved celebrating a 50th birthday/book club meeting here! Food was delish, margs too! Tons of parking, average prices! Service was friendly, restaurant was clean and well decorated! If you havent been...definitely try it!

My family and I loved this place! The food was amazing and the service was pleasant. I would definitely recommend you to check it out.
We enjoyed their Chimichangas special and also shared the Chori Pollo.

They had a lot of parking , super close to all the stores if you’re shopping for the day and need some good food!
The prices were also very reasonable, por the large portions they serve.
Our waiter was so sweet and attentive to us.

One of my favorites in the area. Enchiladas Rojas are my go too. Birria tacos are good as well, I ordered mine without cilantro and refried beans. We also got queso for the table, chips came out still warm and the salsa wasn’t too cilantro-ey. They have a house made hot sauce available. Lunch specials are available 11-3pm

We got the flautas ( they didn’t stand a chance so the picture is of half eaten food), and elote, the birria tacos, the enchiladas Roja and quesadillas to go. This is my very first time here. And it was so incredibly delicious. The vibe was good, they played good music, the bathrooms were very clean, and our server who I forgot his name the nicest gentleman ever! We came in pretty late as well and they didn’t rush us ONCE! We also got quite a bit of food for two. I will be back a lot. Thank you so much for the awesome dinner for Valentine’s Day! We will for sure be back for my fiancés 21st!

The food was great they did not have churros at the time so they comp the ice cream . The BIRRIA was the best I ever had. The alcohol was good strong.

Our family tried many dishes on our visit. I continuously warned my teen boys that I was concerned about portion sizes and that they are likely over ordering. When the food came, their eyes glowed with love for the look of the food and pure horror with the amount that they had ordered. There were many comments about how they didn't think they could so it, how it was going to be a challenge, how they haven't eaten this much in ages, claiming bathroom times ahead, and so on.

The soup is basically a bucket, the quesadillas were the size of a steering wheel, the side plate for the fajita was massive and even I was concerned for my safety.

The fajita was incredible, quesadillas were amazing, soup was good. We were greeted as soon as we walked in, multiple people stopped at our table to refill drinks, chips, salsa, take plates and more. Our waiter was incredibly attentive (even when he stared at my dinner companions in disbelief while they ordered multiple meals).

We will definitely be back!

First time there, very clean well decorated restaurant. Service was amazing, server checked on us frequently without interrupting our meals and when we needed something it was brought quickly. The portions were huge, food was fresh and delicious! Owner/manager stopped by and was very gracious. Definitely try here if you haven’t already!

Old Ruby Tuesday location. Great atmosphere, great service and awesome authentic Mexican eats in huge portions. My favorite is the three item combo plate with 2 sides. Easy access from the I90 and ample free parking available. Close to tons of stores and shops in the area and the Walden Galleria is minutes away.

My second time here I really loved how attentive the stafff was we was seated as soon as we arrived staff very attentive I love the Mexican authenticity with the atmosphere and music beans were great guacamole and veggies fresh rice and steak well cooked I will be going back again the staff was really sweet very nice people in there so if you go in just be patient

Came for dinner service and food was excellent. only complaint we have is the one table singing the whole time loudly couldn't really have a conversation cause you couldn't even hear the other person at our table. And nothing was done about that table. Understand going out and having fun but when u can't even hear your conversation at your own table and your in a restaurant it's really rude and annoying

Service was phenomenal! Our waitress was attentive!! Food was out quick and was hot and delicious!!! THE BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT IN THIS AREA. I have been in some other’s restaurants in the area and Don Patron it was by far beyond my expectations!

Nice and clean !!

I totally recommend it

This restaurant just opened its doors and man did they come out swinging. They're staff is the friendliest out of any restaurant ever. The manager fixed our drink. Nothing was wrong, my wife just lies about liking alcohol. We tell them this and he said he doesn't care. He fixed it right away even though it was our fault we didn't like it. He said he wants every guest to leave happy. Who does that? Great managers and staff like Don Patron. It's worth every penny!

We had a wonderful time at Don Patron! We had a lovely and kind waitress (Valeria). We had chips with salsa and bean dip. Then we did the dinner for two (don Patron mar y Tierra). It was so much food! Very flavorful, hot, delicious. Filled us right up. We will definitely be back to check out those desserts!

Some of the greatest Mexican food in upstate New York. Specifically flew from Tennessee to Buffalo to come eat at Don Patron! Excellent food and excellent service!

From the moment walking in we were greeted and sat right away. The restaurant is clean and very comforting inside. We received chips immediately as well as our drinks. The waiter was absolutely amazing and the service was fast. The food was delicious!!! I am very impressed for my first visit here. This will definitely be a to go place from this point forward. Thank you guys for the amazing service and quality of food!

They made me feel welcome ...the food was pretty good nothing I can point out or say was wrong ..aside from it looks way better on the table than the pictures they used in the menu ..I enjoyed the taquito bites and don patron enchiladas ...my wife enjoyed her quesadillas..they have a full bar including Johnny walker black and Johnny walker red ...all said It was a good experience ..and a place you can just sit at the bar have a few drinks or dine in with the family
