Patrón Tacos & Beer

Where's the 6th star? I've been blessed to have been to write a few Michelin starred restaurants and this little strip mall Mexican joint surpassed many of them. In fact, I will say that this meal is in my top 5 of all time. I had to kill some time before my hotel check-in and decided to grab a late lunch. I was feeling tacos and looked for three closest local Mexican restaurant. From the outside it was just another strip mall restaurant, dark tinted glass and a catchy sign.

Probably worth another try.
