Megan was amazing Friendly and customer service

Good Menu, food, drinks, specials! Authentic Hispanic Decor. Friendly Service.

First visit today, going back for next month's lunch with a friend. Wish we'd discovered El Patron sooner.

Been here several times but last time waitress was rude. My mother asked if daughter could seat on high chair at end of table she asked Supervisor he said yes. But waitress said no bc "fire hazard" like there was gonna be a fire and we would run over our daughter??? It was open area. I didn't have problem my issue was lack of respect the Supervisor said we could and his worker questioned him and told him no and sat there arguing with him telling him no. Like who is boss in situation?? The waitress or the Supervisor. She should of respected his decision instead went out of her way to fight about it. Which left me upset that it was that big of deal for toddler to sit in high chair. Then she forgot one of our plates we ordered and we waited good 20min before asking where was other plate which by that time we just wanted to leave so we asked for it to go then she said bc item was happy hour it can't be taken to go. But if it had came out when we ordered it, it wouldn't of been Togo but then she gave us to go box anyways.

Celebrated our Niece and Nephew’s Birthday with this Saturday Brunch. Everything was delicious and our server MARY, was outstanding. Great, attentive, friendly and kept our Bottomless drinks full??‍♀️Annie GIrvine

I just have to say the MAIN reason me and my fiancé came back is not just all the amazing workers here. But one in particular, Jessica! The MOST AMAZING service I have ever had, and we’ve only been twice but both times we were blessed to have her. Great food. Great atmosphere. And all around great service. Jessica you are truly amazing and next time I go I hope we get lucky to have you again!

Margarita was excellent but very small and food was good bartender was excellent

Food was delicious! Ordered the Salmon with Mango salsa. The salmon was cooked perfect, fresh grilled vegetables, green salad and side bowl of black beans topped with chopped tomatoes and cilantro.

If i could give this place zero stars. I would. First they wouldn't allow our party of six to sit... they then Sat us in a backroom.. dead with no music for a bday after multiple requests to be moved. The worst part is this place had roaches!!!! We saw at least 3 there and one ran under our table. It was stomped and promptly picked by staff who said sorry a "water bug" I'll tell manager. Then the I tell "chris" you have roaches... no response. We had another round thinking an apology, discount or round of drinks we had paid for would be comped.. at this point a "so sorry" would have been nice... nothing instead they tell us everyone in your party needs to be seated to be served. This place was horrendous... I didn't say anything to my party about coming but prior to covid I had gnats in my food. You guys graduated from a small pest to infestation.. I'm definitely never coming back or recommending ???

My first time there.. it's really nice.. their staff are cool, fast and clean.. I recommend.
