Don Patrón Mexican Bar & Grill

Run by a welcoming couple, this unpretentious spot features a clean dining room with a prominent bar and music kept at a conversational volume. The kitchen serves seasoned tilapia, beef tacos, and fresh guacamole, paired with a selection of tequilas and drinks like a potent guava breeze margarita. There is no air conditioning—only fans humming throughout the room—but the straightforward charm and attentive owners make it a solid neighborhood anchor.
