I was on my way to Popeyes for lunch and El Patron caught my eye. Soon as I stepped in the atmosphere was amazing and authentic. I was immediately given a menu and suggestions. I ordered the Birria tacos, chefs kiss. It didn’t take long and after my first bite I completely forgot to add my sauces. I will be back soon. Oh and the cashier who too my order was so attentive. I walked towards the restroom assuming someone was in there and before i could turn around she was there with the key letting me in. 10/10 from me!!!

The food is very good! And the portions are big and the prices aren't too bad compared to some other Mexican restaurants around town. The Mexican drinks come in the biggest cup I've ever seen at a restaurant before. And the decorations are beautiful ever table and chair set has gorgeous paintings on them

This place is as unassuming as they come. Everything we got was great. The chicken in the flautas was tender and flavorful. The homemade salsa had tons of punch. The menu is a mix of authentic and American. Ot was great.

Very good food. Has the shrimp fajitas and they included 7, 20 count . Slightly disappointed there were fewer peppers and onions served this time.with the fajitas. The peppers and onions were well caramelized and I appreciated it wasn't a wet mess. A small place inside. Second time here and the same comments apply: 1. Need some diet beverages - all were full sugar 2. Had margaritas advertised on the chalk board and lunch special menu but they were not available

Good food. Ordered take out - my wife got chicken nachos, I got something called “El Patron” which was a mix of meat, rice, beans and veggies (cactus included ), and different types of tortillas. Everything was great, and the portions are pretty big, we couldn’t even finish everything in one sitting. Prices are reasonable but not super cheap. The staff was nice and polite. Will definitely order from them occasionally.
