This was my first time trying Patron Mexican Grill, and it quickly became my new favorite Mexican restaurant in the Pittsburgh and surrounding area!
It’s not often that I write five star reviews with this restaurant, checked every box!
From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere stands out. The restaurant is filled with bright, authentic colors and beautiful furniture that is handmade in Mexico. They also have a large outdoor dining area, which is a great option when the weather is nice.
Our food came out incredibly fast — my main meal arrived within about five minutes of ordering. The chips and salsa had great flavor, and I also tried the queso, which I absolutely loved. It wasn’t overly spicy and had a deliciously creamy cheese texture.
For my main meal, I ordered the Patron Fajitas. Everything arrived sizzling, and the shrimp was extremely fresh. The guacamole served alongside the lettuce and beans was absolutely delicious and really complemented the meal.
Another thing I really enjoyed was their large selection of imported beers. It is a great addition to the menu and gives you plenty of options to pair with your meal.
Our service was fantastic as well. Our waitress was attentive without being overbearing, always nearby when we needed something, and our drinks were refilled quickly.
One of the owners even stopped by our table to check on our meal and make sure everything was going well. They also let us sample a new pizza item they are considering adding to the menu, and it was fantastic! That experience really stood out to me because you can tell the owners genuinely care about the food and the experience they provide. After trying everything we did, I can definitely tell there are some very talented cooks working in this restaurant.
Overall, Patron Mexican Grill has everything I look for in a great restaurant: excellent food, a unique and authentic atmosphere, fast and friendly service, and plenty of variety. After just one visit, I can already say this is a place I will definitely be coming back to. I highly recommend giving Patron Mexican Grill a try!

Patron moved into the neighborhood recently and wanted to wait a little while before trying. Me and my 11 yr old came on a whim and it was really good. She got 3 beef tacos that she loved. They are actually pretty big. She got 3 but could only finish 1. I got the vege burrito and they were also very big. They were bean burritos covered in queso. Very filling. They give you chips and salsa to start so needless to say we were stuffed. The atmosphere is great. The painted tables are nice and the decors is great. We will be coming back.

Nice restaurant. Cool decor. Authentic Mexican. Sweet server. Leila made the experience great.
If you are looking for authentic mexican cuisine, this place is not it. Definitely more of an American version - nothing wrong that - just not what I was looking for in a Mexican Restaurant. Wish it was labeled as Mexican American on google

Continuing our quest to check out all Mexican restaurants in the vicinity, we came to this place which recently opened in a place that used to be a micro-brewery for lunch. The interior was significantly modified and while the seating arrangements look gorgeously hand painted, the seats are very heavy and can become uncomfortable after a while. The decor is fun though.
The menu is quite extensive with all the normal Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes one would expect to find. So, this time, we decided to focus on the more unique offerings. We selected the Pollo Compadres because it featured a cheese sauce instead of a tomato sauce to marry the chicken and shrimp. Oddly, the sauce was poured over the rice and then the proteins were placed on top of the sauce. Weird.
We also got a "normal" chicken fajita which was executed well. Nothing special about it. The combo platter we built featured a tamale and an enchilada and these were good. The tamale was much larger than you normally find and we were given the option of pork or chicken. It was moist and flavorful. The chicken enchilada was also better than most other places in that the chicken filling also featured onion and peppers and was flavorful! The chicken mole dish had a really interesting mole sauce - probably the best one we've had in the area in years. Unfortunately they overcooked the chicken it was spread on which was dry and leathery.
The chips and salsa that came to the table as soon as we sat down were still warm and fresh. The salsa tasted of cilantro and there is a selection of hot sauces available for those who like to move the needle. To accommodate all types, you get a small carafe of salsa and small bowls, so you can mix the heat level to your liking.
With such an extensive menu, we definitely intend to come back to explore more of what they have.
