The El Patron Platter Special was a perfect blend of delicious proteins and vegetables in a creamy cheese sauce. The rice was cooked to perfection. It was an amazing medley in the mouth. The portion was more than generous. It also came with very soft tortillas and a bag of chips and salsa. Will definitely reorder.

Everytime i eat there or door dash its incredible! I usually get it for lunch during work but sometimes on the weekends even though it's a bit of a drive from home I bring my family out here. And they enjoyed it as much as I do! There is always warm and fresh. And all the portions are huge! My favorite plate from them is the parilladas. But their huevos a la mexicana are to die for!

First time trying El Patron and I am impressed. Happy Chicken was really good, lots of chicken and veggies. The Pico De Gallo was very fresh ,a bit too much cilantro for my taste but it was still yummy. Chips and salsa, how can you go wrong with crispy and spicy. I am glad I tried El Patron and I will definitely order again!

Ordered the Chile Colorado. Not only was it disgustingly sweet and bland, but it didn't even come with the tortillas. Portion size is pretty small compared to others as well. Rice tasted good, beans are weird and powdery, did not seem fresh. I would not order from here again. Way too expensive for what this is.

Flavor is really consistent, fresh, and tastes like authentic Mexican food. Portions are a great size I always feel full after ordering from here. If I don't feel like making dinner this is my #1 go to! The drinks here are really tasty as well!
