My family and I had dinner tonight at patron and I must say it was absolutely amazing! Our food was so tasty with flavours that made us feel in México, our server Katia was really attentive with such a warmth personality! They even treated us to some churros on the house! Amazing super recommended place if you’re in the mood for tasty Mexican food!

This is a noisy, fun restaurant with sports on multiple screens, an impressive bar and a patio. I am guessing that things jump around here in the evenings! The Caribbean Vibes Taco, which was their offering for the Vanfoodster Taco Challenge, seems to be Chef Andres Lopez' creation and is only available Monday to Friday from 12 to 5 when he is there to prepare it for you! It starts with a plantain tortilla, which is amazing. No flour or anything other than plantain and it has very good texture and flavour. Little crispy bits of deep fried tilapia and chicharon are the next features with cilantro aioli, mango and habanero chutney. This all works very well and left me with that silly grin that I sometimes get! I also had a Steak Torte.This plate did not look overly Mexican but it was a very good sandwich! I tried to get a picture of the inside of it but sometimes a description is better! A soft inside, slightly crunchy outside bun with a generous amount of cubed meat cooked with Mexican style spices, avocado and a ridiculous layer a melted cheese which I wouldn't be surprised to learn is cooked right n the flat top tuile style. Excellent! I'm not sure how waffle fries fit in at a cantina but they were also quite good. This is certainly not the least expensive Mexican food around but you are paying for a high level of service and comfort and atmosphere as well as good food.

I came to this restaurant with my friend Monica and her six year old daughter who's a very particular eater. Monica was concerned that her daughter would refuse to eat and we were surprised at the outcome! Monica and I had a large Mexican salad and while I never eat raw vegetables, the cool, crisp and fresh texture of the lettuce made my mouth water and made me yearning for more. The tomatoes were sweet and tangy and refreshed my mouth for the next course. We all had chicken and beef tacos. The service was prompt and our waitress had the utmost courtesy and really wanted us to feel satisfied. The taco itself was soft and warm and made our mouths water. The chicken and beef was tangy on our tongues and seasoned to completion. Monica's daughter finished her taco before we even finished half of ours. The dressing was delightful and enhanced the deliciousness of the taco and we were thinking about ordering a second dish! However, we decided that we will come back next week and enjoy the spectacular Mexican hospitality and savour the tastes that we enjoyed today. This was the best Mexican food we've ever had in Canada!
Great food! The guacamole and Pico di Gallo were amazing! The only glitch was that they got my order wrong, but they were quick to correct it. So good!
Patron Tacos & Cantina in the Stadium District serves traditional Mexican fare in a lively, casual environment. I had come to know about Patron Tacos by way of their participation in Vancouver Foodster events. On their menu are traditional Mexican dishes like enchiladas, huaraches, quesadillas and more. The bar features a range of Tequilas, cocktails and speciality margaritas. Here are some thoughts on my visits to Patron Tacos this year.
This was the third time that I visited Patron Tacos & Cantina. So far everything I tasted here was delicious. The margaritas are kickass here. Although simple and unpretentious, the food here is well prepared with big flavours and a touch of refinement, such as their tacos, sopecitos, and quesadillas. I also find the ambiance vibrant and energetic, and the servers super friendly. This is a good spot for a TGIF evening or a sports night.
Our fourth stop on this year’s Vancouver taco crawl moved us away from Cambie Street and towards the heart of downtown. It was the only restaurant that I have heard of before coming on this crawl. The “taco crawl” is an event vetted by “Vancouver Foodster”, a well known food lover and enthusiast, food podcast host, and organizer of other similar events. His goal is time around was to expand the eating horizons of those who might not think to visit a few of his favourite places, without such an invitation. You pay a flat rate, and with it earn eight tacos to come, and a map to get you there. You travel around the city, trying tacos from those restaurants participating, five in total. I was lucky enough to be the plus one of the charismatic “Picky Diner”, one of this year’s judges.
I liked the vibe of this place. Staff were all spanish speaking, the music was good, it definitely felt like a modern mexican restaurant! The food was pretty decent (pastor tacos were a bit on the hard side, sopitas were really tasty) but I unfortunately it did not come with as decent of a price tag. The menu has some interesting items but for the most part it's your generic Noth American menu. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of their margaritas. Again, though, very little ingredients for a high price tag.
Very nice place. Very well attended. The food is very nice, but some dishes are spice hot. Ask before order.
For drinking, I recommend "Chelada". It's beer with lemon, tabasco sauce and salt. For desert try the "churros"
Went with a couple friends before a concert. It was busy but we got seated right away. The server was slow to take our order, but the food was delicious so you forget about the service sometimes when the food is worth waiting for. Great prices too.
Very good! Great portions, awesome Mexican beer selection, had a Modelo Especial. The manager was super accommodating for a large party. Happy customer.
