I love the enchilada plate here. The customer service has always been friendly and good. I miss the chips and salsa bar they had inside before Covid.

I got home with the plate at it was just all beans with carne guisada sauce no meat. Additionally there was a person smoking weed inside the restroom. Will not waste my money at El Pato again. I called the restaurant and no answer.

The food, prices, and employees are great but expect to wait more than 30 minutes for your items, especially through drive-thru. I’ve gone multiple times and I’ve had to wait more than 30 minutes in the drive-thru.

Every time we get back to the valley,we have to stop here. It feels like we're at my mom's house when she was here with us. Of course it's not exactly like Mom's but darn close. Plus those are some "healthy tacos".? Yum yum deliciousos.

When we went in, we were the only customers in the restaurant...thought they were closing early and joked with cashier about it. She has a good sense of humor, was very helpful and friendly, even bringing the food to my table. The chicken flautas were delicious and huge. The guacamole that came with them was flavorful and perfect, not spicy. And the sour cream with it makes it a killer combination. The chalupa was also perfect with excellent frijoles, lettuce, and tomato...all fresh. The only thing that would make the chalupa better would be adding guacamole and sour cream, which Im sure they would do if asked for a small additional fee. The only two let downs were the pinto beans as they add bacon in it, so we were not able to eat it and they were out of desserts. No chocoflan, no tres leches, no flan and no strawberry cheesecake. The portions are plentiful and the prices are very reasonable.

I really like the food dishes. As for lunches, I leave it to each person's taste. They have special dishes every day. They have a fountain of drinks and eating there the tortillas you order are free.?

El Pato is a good place for great tasting Mexican food.Some people would strongly disagree but as for me I enjoyed it and would definitely go again.The ones who don't like it probably visit mom and pop restaurant s and see this as "corporate" Mexican dining.I will admit that there is some truth in that but not enough to dissuade me.I suggest for anyone to try it for yourself and the truth will be in the taste test.Very well made and plentiful tasty food.
