DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR DRINK TO GET ROOFIED. The bartender, a convicted grapist, is back and serving up drinks to everyone. El Patron is officially off my list of places to never visit again.

First let me start by saying the food is good. Other than the steak being a bit dry(which doesn't matter because the flavor was fantastic) my problem was with the old lady they have working there seating people and just in general around the restaurant. In my life I have been in many restaurants. Being a chef myself I love to travel and try new places so I was over excited to try this place during my trip to KC. This lady has to be the most rude and unpleasant employee of a food establishment I have ever in my time experienced. First she was very angry and rude rushing us in the door telling us we wouldn’t be seated if we did not hurry.(we had elderly family with us and were just corralling everyone) she the. Seated us with an attitude. I wish I could say that was all. I witnessed her having the same attitude toward a couple other tables as well. When we were finished with out meal the check was about $190 which we thought was quite high considering only 4 people ate. Tur s out they add an auto gratuity( which would be totally acceptable and I actually encourage places to do this) however with the rude service we received, I don't think so! We got up and as we were holding the door open for our family to leave she once again yelled at us to close the door because she was cold. I guess we were supposed to just let it slam in their faces. She was the worst part of this evening and if she is the owner the. I have zero hopes for the future of this restaurant.

Our server was great and really patient. I take forever to order, what with the chatting, munching on chips and salsa, and sipping margaritas. Oh! And I got a wild hair and ordered fried ice cream (which was the best I've EVER had), and he threw it in complimentary.I actually tried two new dishes, and I'd order both of them again! The chile relleno didn't look like one I'd ever had before, but was delicious. I chose the verde sauce and got it on the side. It was tasty, but I was glad it wasn't completely smothered in it. I was in the mood for Carne Asada, but the ARRACHERA ASADA sounded closer to what I actually wanted. It was fabulous! The steak was really tender, and all of the accoutrement was spot on. You get choice of corn tortillas, flour or both. They were both scrumptious.I love this place, but the one drawback is the acoustics are terrible and it can get really loud.

What an amazing place to eat. My wife came here on Friday night. Told me about it. So we had to come back the very next day because it was so good. Kim was our server. Customer Service makes a huge difference in the experience. Kim made the difference. She was so helpful in helping me and my wife pick what to get. She was very attentive and could not have gotten any better service. Kim definitely is a 5 out of 5 stars. The food was really good too. I can’t think of anything that I would change or did not like in my experience tonight. I would rather give my money to some place local, that a chain restaurant. The other amazing thing about Kim was we thought we were done eating. Kim asked if we wanted fried ice cream. We said no(at first). Well are we glad we changed our minds. Because it was so worth it.
