No.Don’t come here.Food was tasteless.Plate was messy.Too many loud people, the tables were so close. If anyone moved there side of the seat, they would move me also!I ordered a fish taco, and the fish was absolutely from the sea. Slimy, overbearing fish meat (salmon), for $16!! And didn’t come with sour cream, lettuce, tomato, nothing. Only salmon, rice, and sauce on the side. Like get out of here with that!Going to tell me sour cream is $2 extra..so you mean to tell me, to get sour cream I’d have to pay $18 for 3 tacos, that taste like the poisonous sea and a side of sour cream.Ok, but I can go to Taco Bell spend $18 for 12 taco supremes.Don’t waste your money or time!!Oh before I forget, our server left!Didn’t finish taking our money to close our orders because the tip was already included.Had another server help us!! Of course I had to tip her $20 just for the inconvenience.

I went there on 3/1/2022 and I waited approximately five to ten minutes to be seated. The only problem with that was there was barely any patrons. I watched as the staff laughed and played and looked at me standing at the wait to be seated sign. After not being able to withstand the blatant disrespect, I walked out drove two blocks down and got a great meal at salsa Latina. I waited less than two minutes to be seated. They have more patrons and less staff. I am now sitting here with the itus. I’d like to thank the staff at el patron for being disrespectful because I clearly found a better place! I’m actually going to give salsa Latina a review right after this with a picture of my food please go look before you go here!

Can't say enough good things! Service was fantastic! Staff was friendly, and the food was excellent. I had the Pollo tropical. 10/10 recommend. One downfall is there's really no parking other than street. Unless I missed it.

A cockroach came out of the wall while we were there. Brought it to the waitresses attention who jumped in fright. She grabbed the busboy who tried to squish it. It ran back into the wall only to return a few minutes later. Another diner killed it.They now add a 15% "fair wage" fee to your tab on top of a 4% fee to use a card. So you end up paying nearly 20% more than your expected bill. I was unable to tip the normal 20% a usual. And wouldn't after they treated the roach as a normal occurrence. No offer to comp the bill, nothing. Will not be returning to this infested place. ?

Amazing flavor to my chimichanga! My husband ordered a fajita and that had amazing flavor! Highly recommend! The atmosphere was great also!

all i can say is wow!! this place is absolutely amazing. it is such a beautiful restaurant, with an amazing, positive, and uplifting atmosphere. the energy radiated as soon as u walk through the door or just good vibes all around. i have never had more fun at a restaurant in my life. and the food is to die for. the workers are always so polite, and respectful and go the extra mile for whatever u need. i overall just absolutely love el patron and they have my business for life!!

The fact that I just spent $72 to have garbage delivered to my home is beyond me. Ordered steak quesadillas and chicken fajitas. The steak was so damn chewy and the chicken peppers and onion were DRENCHED in oil, so much that it covered the bottom of the to-go box. Rice and refried beans, cold. The tres leche was dry and whatever drizzle was on on top was awful. Gave the cake such a bad taste, nothing like tres leche at all. And the churros omg. Since when are they made with apples? I almost puked ? but that was my fault for not reading the description I guess. The last time I ordered was June or July and the food was so bad, I stopped ordering. Decided to give you guys a try again tonight 12/17/21 and what a disappointment. Won’t be ordering from you guys again.

Great staff and friendly bartender! Always a great meal!

Food is pretty good and affordable and the restaurant is nicely decorated. The portions sizes are large and the drinks are good here as well. Would go back here again but just felt like something was missing and the wait staff while we were here we pretty inattentive.
