10/10 if I could! We have tried all 3 Mexican restaurants in Tarboro and this one was way above the rest! Service was excellent and the food was some of the best I’ve ever had. I had the Texas Fajitas and everything was cooked just amazingly tender. I also had a margarita flight, which were all great. We will be going back!

El Patron Mexican Style Food in Tarboro was an awesome surprise. My wife and I didn’t expect to find a place this good tucked into a shopping center, but the food was amazing. Everything came out fast, and the service was friendly and welcoming. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to.

We had a wonderful lunch experience here today! The restaurant and restrooms were both very clean. We received great service and the prices are very affordable especially compared to the portion size, we were served enough for 2 meals! The chips were great! They were served warm with a hint of lime and salt and the salsa was some of the best I've ever had, definitely in my top three! We ordered the La Paradilla meal for two, it included Ribeye Steak, Chicken, Caritas, Shrimp, Chorizo, 2 Mexican Onions, 2 Cheese Quesadillas, 2 Grilled Jalapeno Peppers, Nopales (Cactus) Bell Pepper, Vidalia Onion all served freshly grilled on a Steamy Skillet. You also get 2 servings of Rice and Beans and 3 Tortillas each (corn or flour) We will definitely return to this establishment again to further explor
