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!
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.
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...
I think this is the best restaurant in town!!! I drive from San Antonio to eat at the great food the I grew up on!!!!!!
first place our kids go when they come to town for a visit
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.
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!
they have the best tacos they should make one in Holland Mi
I wish that South Carolina had an El Pato because I would eat there everyday! Miss those Patos!!!
great food and great sevice,sums it up!

I love the food and the staff are great.
Best Mexican food in town except for one other place.
They are fast, the food is hot and tasty, it is the best deal in town for breakfast or a fast lunch.
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..
Very good TexMex food at a reasonable price. The enchilada sauce is superb. They have beer. What is not to like?

Get rid of your hang over here at 3 a.m. can't say much for the food, it is not like the ones in San Antonio, it is like they know that they are the only ones in town and take advantage of that.
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.
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!
