It's a shame I came from afar and the burritos were salty and I ordered them without cream and if they added more, it was like I asked for more cream ??? and two burritos two sodas $48 dollars plus tip ?

Food was okay at best. I paid for a super burrito that came with no sour cream and no guacamole. Asked for no onions(pico de gallo)and received green onions sprinkled all over the top of the queso sauce. Wish they would say exactly what they put on the food on the menu.

I've visited Tacos El Patron twice, and each experience has been fantastic!
During my first visit, I tried the Super Barilla Quesadilla for takeout, and it was absolutely delicious. It was hearty, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying—definitely a must-try if you're looking for something filling.
On my second visit, I decided to dine in, and the experience exceeded my expectations. The complimentary chips and salsa were a delightful start. The salsa was fresh and bursting with flavor, with diced tomatoes and scallions that I couldn’t get enough of—I devoured it all!
For my main meal, I had a shrimp and cheese quesadilla, which came with crema and guacamole on the side. The quesadilla was perfectly cooked, and the shrimp was tender and flavorful. I loved the addition of four different salsas on the table, ranging from mild to a fiery habanero, allowing me to customize the heat level to my liking.
To top it off, I enjoyed a house margarita with a chamoy and Tajín-rimmed glass. It was perfectly balanced, refreshing, and complemented the meal beautifully.
Beyond the amazing food, Tacos El Patron offers excellent service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and the service is impressively fast. On top of that, their prices are very reasonable, making it a great value for the quality and portions.
Tacos El Patron delivers on all fronts—food, service, and pricing—making it a spot I’ll gladly return to. Highly recommended!

This is a hole in the wall/dive kinda place. Nothing fancy to look at and for this out of towner, difficult to find too. But man is the food good. I don't care too much for Mexican food but I loved everything I had here. I ordered the fish taco (pescado) and the pork belly taco. 2 thumbs up. I wouldn't have minded eating another taco, but 2 were pretty filling. My cousin had the vampiro (Carne Asada with homemade tostada) and Norteno (carne asada flour taco). They were somewhat similar but she enjoyed her meal too.
I would definitely go there again if I was in the Bay Area.
Service was quick and efficient. The restaurant was quite busy for a Sunday night!

If you want tacos you'll be hard pressed to find better options in the Bay Area. Their Birria tacos are particularly noteworthy. Vegetarian tacos are also excellent.

This place has INCREDIBLE mexican food. It's got a hole in the wall feel. I seriously can't recommend it enough.
Birria and steak taco was just as I hoped it would taste; well seasoned and flavorful. Super steak burrito was good too. We will return. Returned: still good but one of the cooks might be diabetic and lost their sense of taste or something because both the burrito meat and taco meat were overly salted. Would still return. Oh and service was spot on?? They came up!

Well above others. Tastiest taco ever had. We had a few takeouts for big parties with separate trays for the components. Everyone loves it. Dine in even better

One of my favorite go-to places!!! Their customer service is awesome. I have been going to this place since moving out to the east bay and I love it every time. Seeing this place grow has honestly is heart warming because they worked hard to make a great environment to enjoy some tacos with you friend or love ones. Top tier for sure!!
Do yourself a favor by trying atleast one new thing ever time you visit. A good and bad thing for indecisive people??♂️?
