    It was not Bandolero. When we got there it was Loco Patron with a different menu and the service and food was just okay at best.

    The restaurant is not Bandalero's any more. It is now called El Patron with a completely different menu. The restaurant changed hands two weeks ago.

    Tuesday evening 7 PM we were the only ones in the restaurant. Our server did not know anything about their drinks and food. By 8:15 they were rushing to get us out.

    Recently changed owner, name and menu. Ambiance is great with lovely indoor and outdoor seating. New menu is standard Mexican offerings. First week so hopefully they shake out the cobwebs and there is a new menu coming. Manager was informative and helpful.

    Food was delicious. I ordered the posole, which was 10/10. We also ordered the Chile rellenon. It was great, but I wish it came with beans and rice. Overall it was a great experience and I will definitely be returning.

    Saturday evening we were the only customers… weird! When we received our food we understood why this place was empty! It was the worst Mexican food ever! My son had a burger but it was undercooked and probably microwaved. I had beef fajitas, tasteless, the fajitas were so wet! Terrible gravy was on my plate! The others had chicken tacos but the food had once again no taste! The only good thing was the margarita! This place used to be a great place but not anymore, don't waste your time and money on crappy food.
