We stopped here for dinner during an overnight stay in Albany. I believe the restaurant is in what was once a church, so we were curious about the interior.
I ordered a Top Shelf margarita which was very tasty and a generous size. For dinner I had the chicken fajitas. While the vegetables were cooked perfectly, I was a little disappointed in how bland the chicken was. It wasn't horrible, I just wish it had had more flavor.
My partner ordered the chicken Baja tacos, which he also commented the chicken was a bit tasteless.
Our server was very friendly and attentive, and I enjoyed the atmosphere, although it was a bit loud. I suppose that's to be expected in a former church!

So good and never disappoints!
Just went for my birthday lunch and was hugely disappointed by the food. Unseasoned, I had one bite of the beef and it was not good at all. Chicken quesadilla was okay but just average. Salsa and Queso were the only good things. Waitress was nice but didn't check on us at all for drinks or extra salsa- also didn't ask us how the food was. Honestly if anyone wants to go to a Mexican restaurant I would just take a drive to El Mexicano in Saratoga it is so much better but I wanted to try something new for my Bday. Music was also really loud where we were sat.
10 out of a 10. Delicious food with a wheelchair accessible entrance and flexible seating.
Great menu, one of my favorite Mexican places in Albany- good for big parties
All good
El Patron is truly a beautiful place. I love the vibrant paintings and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant; it really creates a unique and inviting experience. While I’m personally not the biggest fan of the food, I must say that the service more than makes up for it. It’s definitely an experience worth having.
I admit I may be a bit biased because I prefer authentic Mexican cuisine. However, my partner, who isn’t a huge fan of Mexican food or the Americanized versions, genuinely enjoys what El Patron offers. As they say, "different tastes make the world go round!" It’s great to see how a place can cater to varying preferences and still create a memorable experience for everyone.

Two delivery dinners. Soup was excellent. Rice and beans very good. Never wrote anything neg on social media prior. Two entrees. Pork and chicken. We spit out both meats because it was overcooked grizzle. Tossed both entrees away. Repeat customers who not be repeating. Disappointed.
