I live in Holy Cross and had been going to another nearby Mexican restaurant with my family. A long term local told me about El Patron. I had seen the building but did not realize that it was this Mexican restaurant, El Patron. Wow!!! I give it 10 stars for authentic fresh food with big portions, the service was gentle, attentive and really fun. The whole experience was above and beyond. It is a smaller place that is cozy and even romantic. It is not a big box chain restaurant...
September 2024
My first time here. I came for lunch yesterday. I got the choriqueso and carne asade tacos with rice and beans. I also got a strawberry fresca. The server was amazing. The place was very clean.
August 2024
I use to go to “Burritos grill” for lunch. The service there was terrible, shared salsa with a table or 5 every single time I sat down. Service was horrendous. Came to this establishment and immediately welcomed with a kind server. Amazing service and great atmosphere. I give it 5 stars.
