El Patron Downtown Riverside is a popular restaurant known for its delicious food and friendly staff. They offer large portions, perfect for those with big appetites. The Michelada, a customer favorite, is a thick, citrusy drink. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a great place to dine with friends and enjoy the Mariachi entertainment. Customers can pay with cash or a cash app, as the card machine may sometimes be down.
The chili verde grande burrito and shrimp cocktail are popular menu items, and the Pina Coladas are refreshing. Watching the bartender make drinks at the bar is an entertaining experience. The nachos, enjoyed by a large group of 17, were a hit before the main courses arrived. While the service has been exceptional in the past, a recent brunch visit had some issues with refilling drinks. The chili relleno recipe has also changed, disappointing some regular customers. However, the chips and salsa remain a standout.
