El Grand Patron Mexican Restaurant - Sandusky, OH

They charged a 35% tip each for a large group. Do Not Recommend.

Traveling for business. Stopped for lunch. The worst Mexican food I have ever had. Zero star. How can they stay in business serving such mediocre food at so expensive price.

Great time! Hard to find a place that has good margaritas AND food. It’s usually one or the other, you know?

Anyway, great tacos and would deff come back when we visit next time!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
El Grand Patron delivers an amazing Mexican dining experience! The flavors are authentic and bold, with every dish tasting fresh and made to perfection. The tacos are bursting with flavor, the enchiladas are melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the margaritas are the perfect finishing touch. The staff is warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming. Easily one of the best Mexican restaurants around — highly recommend!

Been going here for a few years and the foods good but the service is almost always pretty rude... Been told they don't do substitutions (when clearly they do, according to the other reviews), waitress makes comments about me being unable to finish my food, etc. Just one of those places you eat with your head down and try not to cause trouble.

It's been awhile since we've ate here. They have always been good but tonight our food was too tier. I got a horchata to go. Let me tell you It's so good I will be thinking about this drink for days 😉

Fun, festive Mexican place with great ambience and really good food. I loved the quesa-birria tacos and the vanilla churros. I ate here several times, including after my father’s funeral. They accommodated a party of 17 without bating an eye. We had a wonderful family gathering thanks to them. Thank you.

My husband and I were driving around looking for a restaurant staying in town. Found this and was so pleased with it! The service was good and the food was GREAT!! The only thing that wasn’t great was it was a little loud. But that was a small draw back for the rest. We want to return when we are back in town.

Prices were a little high but the food and service was really good.

We visited this place and were greeted with chips and salsa, which were good. The staff was friendly, but our server, Esmaralda, was rude. I ordered a burrito and enchilada, but only received two tortillas filled with beans. When we pointed this out to her, she responded with, “Oh, I thought you said you only wanted beans.” I clarified that I wanted beans instead of meat, but she didn’t seem to understand.

We were only given two tortillas filled with refried beans in other plate too. When I mentioned this again, she offered to get us a new burrito, but I was already running late and didn’t want to wait. I asked for cilantro and onions salsa, but when I received the bill, I was charged for the salsa and told that burritos only come with beans here. I was shocked and asked her to correct the error, but she refused.

To make matters worse, she brought the bill to us while we were still eating. The experience was terrible, and I strongly advise against visiting this place. Save your money and your taste buds. The food was awful and tasteless.

The food was good but the portions were small. There was nothing grand about the grand fajita but it tasted good. The service wasn't good. The hostess and server seemed rude but maybe that's just their culture. Wouldn't bother going back.
