Stopped for a late lunch in Junction City. Patron's sounded good, so we took the shot. The staff was friendly and helpful, but I have to say that the food could have been better. I had the Chili Verde burrito and it lacked sauce and flavor. The pork was cubed really small and was a bit dry.
My better half had the taco and enchilada. The taco was decent, but lacked seasoning and the chicken breast in the enchilada was bone dry with no apparent seasoning. The salsa was great 👍. The restaurant had some regulars in so I know people like the place, and I totally respect that. This is just our humble opinion, and that is what this platform is about. Would we try Patron's again? Without a doubt!

This was our second try at this place. I really wanted it to work out because we moved to JC and would like to support the local restaurants.. unfortunately we won’t be recommending this place. We spent almost $80 for 2 adults and 2 small kids to eat, with a 20% tip. My enchilada and chimichanga plate was just two tortillas with dry, unseasoned chicken inside of them, nothing else. The enchilada had zero red sauce and no flavor whatsoever. No cheese other than what was sprinkled on the beans. Luckily the beans and rice were good because I kept needed to spit out the main course due to the chicken being incredibly hard to chew. Nachos are fairly good, but other than that, I’d look elsewhere unless you just want dry, unseasoned chicken in a tortilla with a little bit of sour cream and guacamole on top

I just went there to get food and this is what I got. When I came to pick my food the lady completely ignored me and help the people behind me. And when I called them to ask if I could get some more beans since how the there really wants much she told me that the cook said not to tell them how to do there job and that I got what I got. My mom had just picked up the same food and got 3 times more then me. Idk I was really hopeful for some good food

Good portions, good quality for comfort food, and good $$ service. (The lunch menu is good on a budget, the dinner menu less so.) That being said, good isn't that great. The place could use some more lively decor, too. Wide selection as you'd expect from the usual Oregon Mexican restaurant, but I prefer a smaller menu of higher quality fare over a large menu with above average results.

Frijoles on tostada were cold, no refill offered. Salsa was a nice roasted pepper flavor
