Came back to El Patron after a couple of years. This was my first visit back then didn’t leave a huge impression. But this time? Solid redemption. I was meeting a friend (his pick), so I figured why not give it another shot. Glad I did.

I ordered the chicken enchilada, and it was genuinely delicious: full of flavor, great texture, and came out hot and fresh. Definitely recommend it if you're not sure what to get.

Also worth noting:...

Food was okay , lack a bit of flavor. I would have loved to taste some lime or lemon juice with the quac bowl . Chips were okay , salsa was decent . There’s nothing about this place that blew me away making me dying to come back . However if you have large parties , and looking for something that’s price friendly , this is would not be a bad go-to. However there’s definitely better in the area .

No long wait, server was great, food was delicious! The Nachos are a must try & they have $5 On the Rocks Margarita specials! The restaurant has a pleasant environment. The manager came over to check on us (which is a plus) to make sure everything was going well. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean!
OVERALL: 10/10- I HIGHLY RECOMMEND
