Me and my family Love El Patron. Food and people are great. After the Uber eats driver stole our 140 dollars worth of food. I went to El patron an the boss called Uber himself and fought the bill plus gave me my order at a discounted rate for the inconvenience. Great family owned restaurant.

This is absolutely my favorite Mexican place. Truly authentic. All the food is delicious. We took a chance yesterday night and was pleasantly surprised at how friendly and warm the people here are. They immediately put down a bowl of homemade tortilla chips with all the toppings on it for free. And let me tell you, as soon as I tasted those chips, I knew I was in for a treat. Today it was down pouring rain and all I could think about was how much I wanted to go back to this restaurant....

Really good food and service! I chose to come here for Mother's Day as it was the only place that wasn't busy. The quesabirria tacos were very tender and flavorful. My boyfriend loved the cow tongue tacos. And my son LOVED the cheese quesadilla with fries.
The employees were all so kind and friendly. We were frequently asked how we were doing and how the food was, and had small conversation. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you for the great Mother's...
