NOW OPEN: Sushi, tacos, burritos & more at ‘Mr. Patron’


March 15, 2023
By Matt Sterner

Over on 22nd Street, just between Craycroft and Wilmot Road, an eclectic menu awaits your arrival in the former Tequila’s Mexican & Seafood spot. At 5754 E. 22nd St., Mr. Patron opened its doors — officially on Friday, March 3 after a successful soft opening in late February.

What’s on the menu?

The sushi/Mexican restaurant’s menu is a cornucopia of variety including Mexican-style sushi rolls, jumbo burros, tacos (both surf and turf selections), tostadas, hamburgers with melted manchego cheese, drinks like micheladas and cocktails, shrimp cocktails — you name it.

You’ll notice that some of the rolls on the menu are totally Tucson, hot and spicy, and something you’d want to devour with a few beers. One of those is the Hachiro Roll, packed with beef or chicken and then drenched with nacho cheese and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos crumbles. You can get the same Flamin’ Hot Cheetos roll with shrimp as well — the Hachiro Shrimp Roll.

Special Galore

Plus, along with the Grand Opening earlier this month, Mr. Patron has already implemented weekly specials that have folks already planning future visits. The current deals include $1.99 tacos on Taco Tuesday, “Order 3 and Pay for 2” sushi rolls on Wednesday, and 15% off micheladas and house margaritas on Thursday.

Just the other day, and for that one day only, they had a one-off special that scored you a free cocktail with the purchase of two sushi rolls. You’ll want to follow them on Instagram to keep up with the latest deals.

Mr. Patron has a handful of sushi rolls and oven rolls but below is a list of the Signature Rolls currently on the menu.
