I accidentally ordered the mezcal margarita and it still tasted too much like tequila … so I couldn’t drink it.
The staff was very nice and replaced my drink with a passionfruit mojito. The food is great we love the chori pollo and the friendly staff!

The food and service here were great. I had the shrimp chimichanga meal, and it was amazing. The waitress was very helpful, and the service was quick. I enjoyed my meal today.

The burrito supreme tasted like it was pre prepared and frozen, just tossed in the oven. Did not taste like it was fresh. The chicken was dry and the beef was mediocre. The friendly waitress and the atmosphere was nice though.

Great Atmosphere, Amazing Staff. Enjoyed a nice lunch with very fast service. Chicken Wings were my personal choice of appetizer, Very crispy chicken with choices of Buffalo, Barbecue, and or plain. Enjoyed the Carne Asada as an entree, Very well seasoned and very tender. Will 100% be returning. Highly recommend in the Durham area.

Friday night dinner was super speedy, with the friendly staff, and the patio area was so cute! Definitely saving this place for my trips to NC. Family friendly!

We chose this restaurant because it was close to our hotel and we have an El Patron in our home town that is good. We were not sure if it was the same group or not. The restaurant was clean on the inside and we were immediately greeted by a hostess. We were promptly seated in a quieter area of the restaurant. The chips and salsa were tasty and we did not finish them before our order came out. The food was very good and our waitress was very nice. In today's world, the prices were not horrible. Our waitress and hostess both made frequent stops to make sure everything was okay.
The only down side is the location. It is located next to a mattress store at the end of a shopping area (tucked into a corner), and a guy was selling melons out of his truck. El Patron can really control that. We took a chance on still eating there. We are glad that we did.

It was OK, I got two mushroom and cheese quesidillas, quac salad, no rice and beans and a mango marqurita. The quesiddillas were good for sure. The bill was $28, so a little pricey because of the drink. Threw in a tip and it was over $30 bucks for one person. However, there was a cool flag in drink and service was good.

Restaurant wasn’t full which was a good thing. Great customer service. Server checked on us multiple times to make sure everything was fine.
Food was good and flavored. I will come back!
