Our Story
Three generations of authentic Mexican cooking, bringing the warmth of family tradition to every dish we serve.
A Family Tradition
Los Patos Mexican Food began as a dream to share the authentic flavors of Mexico with our community in Mesa, Arizona. Our family has been cooking traditional Mexican food for generations, and we're proud to continue that legacy today.
Every recipe we use has been passed down through our family, refined over decades of cooking and perfected with love. From our grandmother's secret mole sauce to our father's perfectly seasoned carne asada, each dish tells a story of our heritage and commitment to authenticity.
We believe that food is more than just sustenance—it's a way to bring people together, to celebrate life's moments, and to create lasting memories. That's why we treat every customer like family and every meal like it's being prepared for our own dinner table.
“Our mission is simple: to serve authentic Mexican food made with fresh ingredients, traditional recipes, and the same love we put into cooking for our own family.”
