7/15/24, 9:30 pm ⭐⭐⭐⭐The young lady who took my order was very polite. She brought my chicken enchilada plate to the table, plus the extra raw onions & crackers I requested. The food was hot/warm, flavorful & plenty...I was full about 2/3 through the plate. Only 2 suggestions: (1) maybe offer a discounted drink with the daily specials; (2) replace the canned enchilada sauce with a homemade sauce.
7/16/24, 8:10 pm ⭐⭐⭐ Staff was friendly, but food was not as good as the previous night. Carne guisada was warm and flavorful. Beans and rice were different... Must be 2 different cooks. Rice was room temp with cold spots (?)... Made another time, then fridge? Beans had too much water on top. Corn tortillas were too thick & not toasted enough. Music was too loud.
7/24/24, 7:30 pm ⭐⭐ I ordered the daily special, which was tacos mexicanos. The chicken in the tacos was warm & had flavor, but was dry. The rice and beans had flavor & were room temperature. I asked for extra raw onions and cilantro. I heard the manager ask the kitchen. After about 10 minutes, I asked where the raw onions and Cilantro were. I heard the manager ask the kitchen a second time. By the time I got them, my 2 remaining tacos were cold.
8/1/24 ⭐⭐⭐ I got the daily special, which was the chicken guisado. It was warm, but had a little too much water. The beans were very dark. Rice was warm & mushy. Tortilla was thin & dry.
8/9/24 ⭐⭐⭐ Daily special was 1 beef & 1 chicken Pato. Both were warm/hot & had flavor. However they left way too much water, which made the patos very soggy. A customer shouldn't have to remind an employee to remove water from filling. Had to ask for another tortilla for 1 of them when I left. Beans tasted kind of like chemicals. Rice was cold.
Worst barbacoa ever...this location is the worst. North tenth is the best. The lady at the window possible name alexandria I believe also worked at mission location that closed was very rude. Almost like she hates her job. Then quit!

Place was almost empty and counter person sees me go in then decides to go around to straighten chairs in tables at the slowest pace im history. Was at the counter waiting for more than 5 minutes and no one else there to take my order. Honestly was very disappointed aside from them not answering to be able to place a phone order. Having to look for alternatives now.
Staff at the drive thru did a great job and they were super fast. Also very kind and effective ? 10 stars ? for this girls .

Ordered tacos for my family. Tried 4 different fillers with egg. They were very stingy with all the fillers except the beans. They sure filled the taco with beans.

If you've lived in McAllen as long as I have, you know there's a good El Pato (on 10th st), and then there's this El Pato ?. My poor bf isn't from McAllen, so he doesn't know the unwritten rule, and he picked up from this location today. ? Food is always extremely greasy, we get sick later from it, or some part of the order is wrong. We ordered chips and red salsa, got green salsa (looks like soup), my bf got a potato bacon and egg taco, got only 2 little potato pieces, and we asked for some quesadillas with just melted white cheese, got these with very little yellow cheese. Now my stomach hurts, nambre dude! Never again. Skip this location and just go to the one on 10 Street.

The experience wasn't bad. It just wasn't great. The food was meh at best. I didn't get a welcome or smile from either of the staff. The ambiance was okay but lacked energy.
they have MF SPECIALS! Monday -friday ?
