I recently visited El Patron, an authentic Mexican restaurant, and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of items offered on the menu. From classic enchiladas to a giant burrito, there was something for everyone. The abstract drinks were also a nice touch and added to the overall experience. However, my only complaint would be the size of the table for four people. It was quite small and made it difficult to share all the delicious dishes we ordered. Additionally, our server didn't check in as much as we would have liked. On the plus side, the live band playing added to the festive atmosphere, although it was quite loud at times. Overall, I would recommend El Patron for their tasty food and unique drinks, but just keep in mind that the table size and noise level may not be for everyone.

The first time we ate there, it was really good, the chicken was smothered in sauce. We’ve been there a few times and each time was pretty good. Only issues that I’ve encountered is when I ordered for pick up a couple of time, the chicken was dry and there was no sauce on it like when eating there. It was plain. I guess if you eat there, they prep the food good, but when take out, they don’t put so much work to it. Even the seafood quesadilla, they lessened the shrimps and not as much sauce. I will say that when eating there, the food I’ve ordered was always good and it is definitely worth stopping in here, as overall, this is one of the better Mexican restaurants out in this area. It just stinks that when ordering for pickup, it’s like you’re not getting the same thing you get when you’re there. The photos posted are from when we ate there.

Love the atmosphere of the place. Love that they give you up to 2 free baskets of chips. Love their wide menu selections. The service needed to be more attentive. The chips needed to be fresher. The salsa recipe could be more distinct. My taco salad was passable but not standout.

It was great. Server came to our table at least 4 times after the food was dropped off. Food was great. We received chips and salsa for free after we ordered. We ordered fajitas. Received 3 flour tortillas (that's what we chose) came with rice, beans and guacamole on a small bed of shredded lettuce as well as sour cream. Overall everything was great.

Excellent premium mixed drinks, authentic tasting food and professional service. We were seated quickly and enjoyed the menu selection.

Food was delicious. I didn't like their refried beans but that's a "me" problem. They tasted ok, justadenin a way that I didn't care for but I'm sure other people may like. Service was pretty good. Overall, a good experience. I would go back & eat.

Free chips and salsa. Salsa is runny and chips dont have much if any salt and were warm. I liked them both. My burrito had really good steak in it and my waitress refilled my drink and the chips several times. They had some crazy cool looking drinks and a fajita plate that came on its own little grill that looked really cool. It was not overly crowded on a Friday night and I could hold a conversation without yelling.
