El Patron is a welcoming Mexican restaurant with a friendly and bilingual staff, providing a cozy environment with TVs and a cultural atmosphere. The food is top-notch, including standout dishes like their phenomenal burrito, roasted chicken with yellow rice and beans, taco bowl, and fried plantain. The restaurant is kid-friendly and offers high chairs, with staff who are kind to children. The atmosphere is old-school Mexican, but the food is highly regarded, making it a great place to try. Customers appreciate the clean space, fresh food, and friendly service. Many say it feels like a family-run spot, and the owners greet guests warmly. The menu includes delicious options like chicken soup with rice, beef platter, cecina flautas, carne asada burrito, and chicken burrito, all full of flavor. Though some ingredients like lettuce, crema, and pico may occasionally be missing from the burritos, the overall taste remains excellent. The restaurant’s consistent quality makes it a favorite local spot that enhances the neighborhood experience.
