I was not impressed with the food on this trip. The salsa for the chips was too runny. The soft corn tacos fell apart even with two tortillas per taco. The service requires a lot of improvement. The server barely spoke English, and she screwed up the orders several times even after repeating.

They're on their website saying they don't close until 10 on Sunday and we drove there and they had closed at 9

Kid-friendliness: Waiter loved our toddler and was super friendly. We have to keep him in a stroller and she didnt mind at all if he was in the way.

El Patron is a must visit! The food is great, staff is friendly, and the decorations and music are perfect. And you just have to see the printed photographs of every person who's ever had a birthday there over the last few decades! You get chips and salsa included when you are seated. My favorite dishes are their pineapple fajitas (served in literally half of a pineapple!) and their tacos! But it's all delicious. Muchas gracias otra vez!

Wheelchair accessibility: The two sets of entry doors are not automatic.

Always good Mex. And the jumbo margarita? Better use two hands

Was first time here. Would we return, yes. But would order something different to experience more of their huge menu.

The service was good, although they didn't bring the appetizer Cactus Salad out until after the entree was delivered.

The authentic Mexican music was good, but a bit too loud, as we felt we, party of 4, had to talk loudly to hear each other.

The food was delicious and delivered very hot. The chile relleno stuffing sauce was delicious, but the chile itself could have been cooked a bit softer for my liking, it was al dente.

Looking forward to returning and experiencing something different.

This was our first time to this restaurant. My husband ordered the #1 Combo with rice and beans. It also came with 2 enchiladas and a taco.
I ordered the burrito with beans. I had shredded beef in mine, the seasoning of the meat was so good and it was tender. The burrito was coveted with cheese sauce, the refried beans were creamy and smokey flavored, very good. The food came in a timely manner and was served on hot dishes. Complimentary chips and salsa. We liked the salsa so much we bought some "to go". My husband practically licked his plate. He didn't have room for his taco so that was brought home. Decor was colorful and nice, something to see everywhere. Our waitress was very nice and checked back on us. Dishes cleared quickly. We were just driving through and looked them up on Google. I'm glad we stopped. If we are in the area again we'll stop in I'm sure!?❤️

Good food but a medium margarita was $13 and to add a shot of tequila was $8 just to make it a good margeretta. Way too expensive food was cheaper then drinks. Sad because we really liked the food.
