We were greeted right way as we entered and were able to be seated too. The provided chips and salsa were delicious. They give you three very good salsas each with a different flavor. I couldn’t decide which was my favorite. I’ve been to many Mexican restaurants and usually order my go-to chicken fajitas. Let me tell you, this place had some of the BEST chicken fajitas I have ever had. Nice white meat chicken with amazing flavor. The garnish plate included all fresh ingredients too. I loved the black beans instead of the typically refried beans. Needless to say, we will be going back because we had a great time and walked out with very full and happy bellies.

The place looks nice, staff are all good. The menu is expensive I thought 15 bucks for a burrito and 5 for a taco was nutty but honestly worth the price both taste as good as they cost. They also have free salsa and chips which is heat 10/10 I will be coming again.

Pleasantly surprised with our inaugural visit! Space is small but quaint. Service was excellent, and food was excellent. Prices are quite reasonable too! It's interesting that owners are owners of Emmett's next door! We'll be back. Highly recommend!

Andrew was amazing. The food was incredible, service was great, the atmosphere was warm, happy, festive, and saw a lot of locals. Friends... Get here soon! The prices are FANTASTIC! There's only one huge problem... Huge... The name on the building is what they specialize in and not the actual name of the restaurant. The big bold signage says "taco Tequila" but their name is EL Pato LoCo. Attention Owners: eather consider changing the name on the building or changing the name of the restaurant. This is an amazing place to dine at. You're not doing yourself any favors by advertising the wrong verbage! Thanks again Andrew for a great dinning experience. -David Gaffke Proud Owner of Complete Bridal-Bridal Boys

First time here and WOW! Yummy delicious and actually great prices on all menu items..Andrew was our server and we like him. Atmosphere is relaxing when we came on a Tuesday evening. Heard it gets very busy Friday and Saturday.

My husband and I had been waiting for this place to open and finally got to try it on opening week.
The staff is friendly, and our server had such a fun personality.
For an establishment marketed as a tequila bar, the tequila selection could be a bit more varied, especially when it comes to additive-free options (though they do have Tres Agaves). I had the prickly pear Paloma, which was good and something I’d definitely order again.
We started with the queso and ceviche, both were good but nothing extraordinary. For tacos, we tried the duck carnitas, shrimp, and brisket. The duck carnitas were our favorite of the three. The shrimp tacos could have used a little more salt and/or acid.
Overall would give them 3.5/5, just a typical taco restaurant with an average tequila selection.

Love this place! Went with my husband last weekend. We were greeted warmly upon walking in, enjoyed the chips and salsa served to us immediately, and then enjoyed our entrees along with the amazing tries leches cake we had for dessert! Service was excellent. We’ll be back VERY soon!

It was crowded I do not think they had enough staff that day.
The cheese was over cooked "cracked" The chips were dripping with oil. The drinks were OK.

This place KILLED it! Went there last night for the 1st time.....
Great service, great drinks, very attentive, friendly & personable staff. Some of the BEST steak tacos I have ever had. Salsa & chips were on point. Burrito bowl rocked too! We live in town & this is going to make it into our rotation of stops ;-)

We visited for lunch on a Saturday. Not much crowd on this day. We sat inside but they had some tables setup on their deck which is a nice option to have.
Overall...service and staff were friendly and great. Food was very good, nothing "great". Pricey tacos with not much meat included in each one. Margaritas were good...but again prices are high for small glasses.
Overall good experience and we will definitely go back.

This place sucks, 5 dollars just for a single taco, their tequila list is bigger than their food menu. No chips or salsa at all and with only 2 tables how the hell do you screw up my order when I said no radish on my single taco and you bring it out with the crap on it.
If you want live music and good food and service just go to No Manches on 31. They are growing so much they are now on their third location opening.

Food and service were spectacular. What a wonderful addition to our town. I got the carne asada burrito, but I stole plenty of my wife's chorizo taco. Can't wait to go back.
