When I made the review below I had done take out and it was great, the food is great. I just left after dining in and I understand why this place is slow. It’s not the food it’s the customer service. They had 2 tables with 2 people at each and I was at the bar. I ordered a beer and after that I never saw the server again. 30 minutes later I had to locate her, (mind you the manager is also standing there) and just ask for my bill. So instead of ordering more I just paid for my beer and left. Owners need to understand that your front of the house staff will bring your business to the ground, no matter how good the food.
This is some good eats and great prices. I got a chicken in cheese sauce and it was a good amount that I was able to also have for dinner. The customer service was great. As I Hispanic I can approve it’s some good Hispanic food. -
The room does not pretend. The women working the floor moved right and correct. They did not waste a step, and the service was good. I ordered the skillet. Twenty-eight dollars for an honest, fatty steak and six medium shrimp. The meat had the truth of the grill on it, and the price was a fair trade. I drank cold water from a cold glass. There is no friction here, only good work and hot iron. It is a place that feeds you well and tells no lies.

What took us so long? We literally live five minutes away and pass the restaurant virtually every day! And to top it off, since leaving Southern California three and a half years ago we have lamented the lack of good Mexican food.
Not any more!
The food is delicious. I had the street tacos and my wife the fish tacos. The steak and chicken were deliciously seasoned. The fish was seemingly lightly breaded. The salsa that came with my tacos was so good I asked if they sold it. The street taco tortillas two to a taco so they held up well. The steak/chicken, onions, cilantro and other filling was generous and fresh.
It’s safe to say we found our new go-to Mexican restaurant. -
Love love love it!!!! Had my bday here and they gave me a bday shot, had crazy hats for everyone to wear while they sang happy Birthday!!!

An Absolute Masterclass in Mexican Comfort Food!
The second you cross the threshold here, you’re hit with an immediate wave of pure hospitality. The entire staff greets you with genuine, infectious warmth, and the energy of the space is electric—packed with personality and covered in cool, eye-catching decor that gives the whole restaurant a fantastic, lively vibe.
Now, let’s talk about the main event: the food. I ordered the chicken chimichanga with absolutely all the fixings, and it was a revelation. It arrived golden, perfectly crisp, and stuffed to the brim with flavor. Pair that with a basket of stellar, crunchy chips and vibrant salsa, and you’re already in food heaven. But the absolute highlight? Asking for—and receiving—the legendary "hot stuff" hidden away in the back. It added an authentic, fiery kick that elevated an already incredible meal into something legendary.
Between the exceptional atmosphere, the stellar crew running the show, and a kitchen that clearly knows exactly what it's doing, El Patron is an absolute home run. The people are amazing, the environment is unmatched, and I’m already planning my next trip back. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!
