I stay in Tuscola for work a few times a year and usually head to Monicals for dinner. I asked the gal at the hotel if there were any other places in town besides Dennys or Pizza Slut and she suggested El Patro. Nothing against Monicals but I wanted to try something new in a three or four restaurant town. The decor is small town quaint, clean and homey. They have some soccer jerseys on the wall behind the bar. The staff is friendly and attentive. The standard starter chips and salsa was good, chips were warmed up which I think is a nice touch. I got the enchiladas verdes dinner and was very happy with it. The rice wasn't dried out like most Mexican restaurants unfortunately, and the enchaladas and green sauce were very good.
All in all I give it 4 forks up!
