I only eat breakfast here, but it is excellent. Best part is the wait staff. If you develop a favorite waitress/waiter, you can always get this person no matter where you sit. My favorite waitress was out on maternity leave and the day before she came back nearly everyone on staff came by my table to tell me that she would be back tomorrow.

This is an amazing place for mexican food. You get a real fine dining experience here, and the atmosphere is amazing. I dont know if it counts, but this place has the most amazing restrooms i've ever seen.
Lived there in my youth, worked at El Pato too-people who I worked with were too ghetto so I quit. Still miss those tacos, but i guess thats the only thing the valley was ever good for..
I'm sorry to have to point out the obvious, but El Pato is not what it used to be. The quality has gone down dramatically, and the prices have gotten out of hand. I can't be the only one that sees this.
We had a horrible experience at Christmas where our party room was triple booked and then we were overcharged for the COLD food. Customer service was horrendous and were made to feel as though their error was ours. NEVER AGAIN!!!!

Wonderful food at a reasonable price. Why won't I dine there again? They have pesky musicians that are very talented but blow their trumpets and sing so loud you cannot carry on a conversation anywhere in the restaurant. I will not return until the noise problem is abated!

Just don't pay attention to the shabby horse statuette at the entrance, but look at the real- wood furniture, the table linen, the attentive waiting staff and, especially, the cleanliness. Sit down, relax and enjoy great food at absolutely reasonable prices. You will come back!

Best Mexican food in town except for one other place.
