Customer Reviews
Food was great, came out sizzling and delicious! Service was very weird, they had someone seat us, someone else got our drink order, our waitress took our order, someone else brought our food, another lady said she was the drink lady to check for refills and then tell our waitress... Very bad for the business and a complete waste of money to pay that many employees when 1 person could have very easily handled it all. Especially when there was only one other table taken in the whole restaurant. Didn't know who to tip out 5 different people... At least the food and atmosphere were good!
El Patrón Mexican Restaurant is absolutely amazing! The service is outstanding—everyone is friendly and makes you feel right at home. The food is delicious, full of authentic flavor, and served fresh every time. The restaurant is spotless and well-maintained, creating a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. If you’re looking for great food, great service, and a clean, inviting place to dine, El Patrón is the perfect choice. Highly recommend!
The food is better than El Rancherito, still not the best I ever had, but the best in This town! The service is great, and the portions are good size. The atmosphere is too loud in the evenings, between the loud Mexican music and the multitude of tv's playing everywhere with the sound on, it is hard to enjoy the company of your dining companions.
Im a massive taco fanatic, have had the best of the best from Mexico, San Diego, Texas and Miami. Let me tell you, this place is FIRE. I was driving through on a long road trip and was blown away by their tacos. Meat is amazing. Portions and pricing on point. A gem in a small town.
Food was delicious and hot! It took a while to be seated but other than that, great atmosphere and definitely will be returning over and over again!!!
