After reading the mixed reviews, I decided to give this place a try. When I walked in, the hostess told me it was open seating and that I could sit wherever I wanted. When I sat down, one of the waitresses walked past my table, no acknowledgment at all.

Self seating…sat outside. Ordered a burrito and a margarita. Burrito was Ah-mazing! huge, stuffed to capacity and very flavorful. I had great expectations for the margarita and it was good but it did not meet my expectations, I think they used sour mix,idk. I asked for mine on the rocks and was informed that they only serve on the rocks (as they should), so fyi to those frozen marge drinkers.

My experience at El patron sucked… Be prepared to wait 30 minutes for a drink….big disappointment… Food was ok… Service thumb down…. They suck… Go elsewhere… It’s not what they post on their IG…. Michelada sucks… My pineapple margarita sucked…. If you order a burrito it’s just rice and beans.. 4$ extra for protein…. 10 for Salsa and chips… There wasn’t even a host the security sat is down… Really bad…. Spent 2 hours there and only got served 2 drinks… 1 drink per hour….

Loved the music, decor and drinks. Their mango margarita with sugar rim was outstanding.

The food was delicious, and our waiter was great. I also really like the vibe/art and bar seating arrangement. Unfortunately there are a couple things I really disliked..

Food was just okay and nothing good enough to make me return. Service was terrible. Many tables sat for 10 minutes without being greeted. I didn’t get my drink until the entrees arrived and never got the chance to order a second drink. When I ordered my tacos, the server asked if rice and beans were okay. I told her I didn’t want rice and asked if I could substitute with another side. She said no and I’d be charged full price for that side. It turns out, my entree doesn’t come with beans and rice, so I don’t understand why she asked me in the first place if they were okay.
