El Patron

NASTY! NASTY! NASTY! I have had so so food and left good reviews. I have had so so service and left a positive review. I really feel sorry for this restaurant owner. When we arrived the lady at the cash register said it would be a moment. I looked around the restaurant. It looked a little disshuffled and dirty. I thought that they had just finished a big rush and were in recovery. There were three tables of people seated. None had food, but had obviously ordered. We were finally seated by a young lady who had just cleaned the table. The table was soaked with nasty looking water. I cleaned it with the napkins on the table left from the previous customers. She gave us menus and left. We looked at the menu for quite some time before the same person asked for our drink order.

El Patron at the Mercer Mall for a meal, and it’s one of my local favorite for Mexican food. The first thing that hit me was how colorful and vibrant the place is—the decor and artwork really make it feel like a fun getaway right inside the mall. My Review The Service: The staff was incredibly friendly and fast. Chelsea, our server, was awesome—she was super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed without us even having to ask. The kitchen staff even comes out and asks us if the food was good. I even received a rose on Valentine’s Day! The Food: Everything was spot on. The chips are flaky and warm, and the salsa has that perfect fresh kick. Must-Try Dishes: Fajitas: I had the steak and chicken mix, and the meat was perfectly tender. Burrito El Patron: My absolute favorite—it's

We love coming here. The food is good and we love coming to eat when either Chelsea or Carson are serving. They make it that much better! Someone needs to give those girls a raise!! They’re always running around and making sure everything and everyone is taken care of!! Make sure you do on a Wednesday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday! You won’t be disappointed.

Waited 10+ minutes for a sweet tea refill because apparently they “had to make another batch” which doesn’t take that long to make. Staff was absolutely rude! Food had little to no taste, queso wasn’t even hot and started to harden pretty quickly. $80+ for 4 people and a toddler is not worth it! Food is salted way too much. Also there was an older lady trying to order and the lady just walked off like it was nothing. Meanwhile the chocolate milk I ordered for my son sat on the counter, and no they was not busy! The “chocolate” milk was just chocolate syrup and wasn’t even completely stirred up! I do NOT recommend this place!

We were brought out another tables order twice. I ordered the picadillo and what I received was NOT picadillo, it was like fajita meat with mushroom and quarters of tomato?? Also paid $6 for a kids pizza, which was just a microwave pizza from like Walmart and wasn’t even cut. When I asked our waiter for the check, he said nothing and walked away and started doing something on his phone, so after a few minutes I just got up and went to pay and told the girl at the register the situation and she just said “oh we get mixed up sometimes” like girl- Anyways, the foods was the worse mexican food I’ve ever had and the service was not it. I’m sure this place won’t be open for to much longer if it keeps operating the way it does tbh.
