El Patron Mexican Food
Quick-serve taqueria on St. George Boulevard turning out street tacos, carnitas and carne asada burritos made fresh daily, with churros and horchata alongside.
Horchata in the Mexican tradition is a rice drink rather than the almond version drunk in Spain, and it is the standard accompaniment to this kind of counter menu.
The wider picture
Horchata is one of those names that travels and changes: in Spain it is made from tiger nuts, in Mexico from rice steeped with cinnamon. The Mexican version is the one that accompanies a taqueria counter menu, and it is served cold and sweet against the chilli. Churros came to Mexico from Spain and are fried to order in a ridged shape, which is not decoration — the ridges give the dough more surface to crisp.
