Taquitos El Patron - (Near Kingsville, TX)

J RW This place has excellent service and food. We stopped by for the first time today and I’m so glad we did. I ordered the brisket nachos and my daughter had the brisket burrito. So Good! We definitely recommend this place if you’re in the area.

Andrea Dove Employees are friendly, pizza & chicken are on point!! Game machines, too!!

P Harper My daughter and I stopped by Bucket and Rope before heading to the Blake Shelton and Janet Jackson concert with United Way, and I’m really glad we did. This spot is a hidden gem—tucked away but worth finding. The patio is beautiful, and the ambience throughout the place is warm and inviting. We started with the brisket balls and the duck taquitos and WOW—both were absolutely delicious. I also tried one of their adult beverages, which was just as good. For our entrées, we ordered the salmon, and it was excellent—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. There were a few mosquitos on the patio, but our server noticed right away and quickly brought out repellent, which we appreciated. Great service goes a long way! All in all, Bucket and Rope is a great spot for dinner, and we’ll definitely be back.

texas tastes This is like the mall food teriyaki but with more choices for flavors and sides. The chicken was grilled so perfectly! I love that char on the meat. The meat is very flavorful. It is thigh meat but was tender and juicy with good flavor. White meat is an option on the menu too I see. One party in my group got spicy orange chicken and was given the option of fried or grilled which was great to have that grilled option for health. The white rice was cooked to perfection. The veggies are steamed like and mostly cabbage but you can request only broccoli (an up charge) which one in my party did. The veggies taste off though, like they’re soaking up natural gas. I won’t get those anymore. The fried rice and noodles are good but are an up charge. You can get it with veggies, or not. They were out of edamame today so we got egg rolls and a drink to make the regular bowl a combo. The sauce that comes with the meal is good too. They advertise not using MSG in any of their food which is great for us. The restaurant is very tiny and narrow. A line out the door at busy times as the ordering area is very small. The staff were friendly and were getting orders out quickly. Lots of employees in the kitchen getting orders completed. I’ll definitely go try it again.

K. W. Reese A downtown gem! Family-owned and locally adored. Great lunch spot! Good food and a great value! Love this place! I eat here at least twice a week for lunch. Highly recommend. Great drinks too!!!
