“Had a late lunch/early dinner yesterday. I ordered the “Langosta El Mariachi”. OMG!!! It was beyond delicious! The lobster tails were stuffed with shrimp and scallops with a creamy white sauce and cheese... the green beans seasoned perfectly with fresh garlic, the rice was cooked to perfection. The meal was perfectly plated and resembled a piece of art. I enjoyed every morsel. The lobster,shrimp and scallops were cooked perfectly. The staff is very friendly. The restaurant has a wonderful and warm ambiance and it is very clean. I highly recommend everyone to experience their own dining experience here. You won’t be disappointed. Thank You ElMariachi !!!!!“

“The atmosphere was authentic. The food was delicious. We had guacamole made fresh at the table. I've never had that experience before. The guacamole was scrumptious, I could have eaten the whole bowl myself. The peach sangria was delicious. A wonderful compliment to our meal. The selection on the menu is extensive. Looking forward to going back to try more items on the menu.“

“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.“
