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 c ...

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.

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 n ...

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.

Ohhhh how I love El Pato! Gotta have the corn tortillas with chicken and avocado and the hot sauce! Wish we had them in Harrisburg, PA! Coming to McAllen for Christmas and will certainly hit El Pato several times in the 10 days I am there!

I lived in McAllen for my first 18 years. I ate Pato regularly. Now I've been living in Dallas. And DAMN do I miss them 'Patos. Everytime I visit ( or 3 times yearly) I hit it up daily.
