When I first laid eyes on the menu at Mariscos El Patron 818, I knew I was in for a flavorful ride—but nothing could have prepared me for how good it really was.
Let’s start with the Tacos Dorados. Each one is golden, crispy, and stuffed to the brim with savory fillings that hit you with crunch and flavor in every bite. Not far behind are the Vampiros—a bold fusion of crispy tortillas layered with juicy meat, melted cheese, and salsa that’s both spicy and rich. It’s street food done right, with attitude and finesse.
But the surprise star of the menu? The Patron Curly Fries and the show-stopping Surf and Turf Fries. Imagine crispy, seasoned curly fries loaded with succulent shrimp, steak, and a creamy drizzle that ties it all together. It’s messy, indulgent, and utterly addictive.
For those who love a twist, the Birria Ramen is an unexpected favorite. The slow-cooked birria broth is deep and comforting, hugging tender noodles and melt-in-your-mouth beef—think Mexican soul food meets Japanese comfort in one steamy bowl.
To wash it all down, the drinks are refreshingly simple but full of character. The Horchata Natural is creamy and cinnamon-kissed, while the Piña Natural offers a tropical balance of sweet and tart. They also stock the classics: Jarritos Mandarina, Canned Coke, and even Bottled Coke by the liter—because yes, you will want to stay a while.
In short, Mariscos El Patron 818 isn’t just another taco spot—it’s a flavor-forward haven where every item on the menu feels like a new adventure worth savoring.
