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!

I have the street taco. It was pretty good. The meat is on the dried side but it still tasted pretty good. My waitress was great and attentive. Overall, I had a good experience.

I just found this place. Food was delicious both times for all of us. Fresh, fast food with lovely service. We will always come here for Mexican food. Prices are very reasonable too.

The service was above average! I will say the food was pretty good. The food took no time to come out to the table. The cheese dip was probably one of the best I ever had!

1st time here today and it was really good. Steal cooked perfect. Shrimp and veggies very tasty. The salsa is always my favorite. It could use a tad bit more of flavor but no complaints. I shall return.
