Our server was wonderful and attentive, however the food was less than impressive. The grease used to fry the chips needed to be changed. The carne asada taco was good except for all of the gristle pieces (it was seasoned well, fresh tortillas). The chicken taco was also good except for the gristle pieces - just wasn't trimmed well. The refried beans were warm, not hot, that was concerning. I really wanted this meal to be better, especially after seeing the good reviews....

This is the new go-to for our family. The guacamole was made fresh, portions are sizeable and tasty, and the staff was very warm and serviceable towards our family. Not to mention a great variety and value. This will be our new stop on Sundays for sure!

The Milanese chili is fresh look on a popular dish, highly recommend it. Especially if you love traditional mariscos, will be ordering again. L’Patatron always has the best mariscos in North Alabama.
