Went here last night for some apps. They literally opened the night before aka 7/20/17. This spot anyway. So the menu was limited but good. Had the guacamole and chips and ceviche. My comments: chips were really good. Fresh. Guacamole was really good but not plentiful. Charge me two bucks more and load it up. Ceviche was enough for two to share as a small appetizer but was served for one person. It was good, not great. Fish was really fresh so the not great part came from the lack of spectacularity of the dish. Drinks were good, nice and strong. Location was clean and service was good and friendly. We'll be back for a more thorough experience when the menu gets completed. I think they pushed...
We decided to leave after waiting for an hour and fifteen minutes without receiving our food. At the 30-minute mark, the manager informed us that the chef had fallen ill and had to leave, but might return later. Despite the server repeatedly saying it would be just 10 more minutes, we eventually gave up. Upon leaving, I expressed my disappointment to the manager for not disclosing the extent of the delay upfront and allowing us to decide whether to stay. Instead of apologizing, the manager argued with me, leading us to order food from Burger Lounge and take it to go. I might have considered returning if the manager had handled the situation differently.
The food and drinks at this restaurant are excellent. The Mexican cuisine is authentic and made from scratch. Everything from carnitas to ceviches was delicious. The owner served us and was fantastic. There is a great selection of tequila as well. Unfortunately, the restaurant was not crowded at all when we visited on a Wednesday night - we were the only table. However, this place deserves more customers. The food was outstanding with the best quality and selection of Mexican cuisine outside of Mexico. San Diego's Patron's Corner is definitely worth a try.
The service at this restaurant was extremely slow and the food was mediocre at best. Despite having a reservation for 8 people at lunchtime and arriving on time to a mostly empty restaurant, it still took 45 minutes for our order to be taken. It seemed like they were short-staffed. We were unaware that chips and salsa were not provided to each table and did not receive any as a courtesy to help us pass the time during the long wait. Overall, the dining experience was disappointing.

Really killer patron margaritas. Amazingly good creamed corn appetizer. It is served as a soup, but you can request they thicken it for eating as a dip with chips. That said, main dishes just ok. We are gringos who lived in Guadalajara for eight years. We have had gourmet Mexican food (as opposed to our familiar Tex-Mex), Patron’s Corner falls short. Probably better choices in the Gaslamp Quarter.
We were looking for a nice place to go on a date. So happy we chose Patron's Corner. Started with a couple of appetizers drinks. It was delicious. Nice selection of tequilas margaritas were the bomb. We had scallops fillet mingon norteno. It was really good. Service was attentive. I will definitely bring my girl back here again. Best date in a long time.
Atmosphere is great. I ordered the chicken skewers. It was a bit spicy. I should of ready the menu a little more carefully. This place gets 4 stars since they took forever to get our food out to us. I also feel as though for what I paid I should of at least got a side with my order.
I went there for an early lunch. There were very few people in there at that time, so I got full attention from the server who was very friendly, attentive and helpful. I ordered the fish sandwich which was very good and a delicious strawberry juice.

Food was excellent. Service was really slow, and we felt really rushed when the server gave us our check before we were even finished with our meal.
Great food, even better margaritas! Excellent service!
