Timothy Hoinkis
I really enjoy this place. I have been there 4-5x. The food is wonderful. The service is a hair slow for my style, but it wasn’t obnoxiously slow. The beer selection is also a little thin, but they do have a workable selection. My GF really enjoyed the traditional music. I (we) will definitely return.

The most authentic and fresh food I have ever had. We literally went there 2 days in a row. The food is to die for. I could not stop going back for more. Service was amazing, warm and inviting. Ambiance and music was on point. The Taco Tuesday night is done in a show cooking style which shows how much work and care goes into their food. Definitely recommend going here. If I’m ever in Orlando again I’m coming back.

I visited this location by myself while on a work trip. While the food was a bit expensive, it was amazing and the portion size fit what I paid for. The atmosphere was a lot of fun and it’s a place I would highly recommend if you are looking for great Mexican food. It wasn’t super busy when I went and the staff did an amazing job keeping my drinks full. The menu had a lot of great choices so really, you can’t go wrong here.

We loved our dinner at El Patron! We made a reservation to celebrate my parents’ anniversary and even though we were a group of 10, we were seated immediately, food was ordered and given to us within a short period of time, and the staff were incredibly friendly. They even surprised my parents with a dessert to congratulate them. Personally, I loved the fact that there were so many vegetarian options and their flan. The flan was probably one of the best I’ve ever had. We will definitely keep them in mind for upcoming family celebrations.

My friend and I were visiting Orlando from out of town and our Uber driver recommended this restaurant and it was AMAZING! Quick service, delicious food and drinks, and the music made the atmosphere even better! Shout out to our amazing server Paola for her food recommendations and the manager Omar who came to check on us during our meal. I will definitely come back to this location when I’m in Orlando and highly recommend it to all my friends!

Tasty Mexican food, but overpriced. They even charge for chips and salsa! I understand if someone comes in just for drinks to charge for chips and salsa, but I’ve never seen a Mexican restaurant charge for something silly like that… especially when we are buying entrees. There are plenty of great, local Mexican restaurants in the area with better food, service, and pricing. It is definitely worth the extra 5-10 minute drive to get a better experience. This one succeeds off of the tourists in the area, obviously.

Wow, if you’re in the mood for tacos/Mexican cuisine and aren’t sure where to go, just get in the car and drive here now, don’t think about it. EVERYTHING from the street tacos, to the buffet, to the service was incredible. They said the buffet was fresh and they meant it. Everyone who was working genuinely seemed happy to work there and so glad to share their best drinks and dishes with us as first-timers. I’m excited to make this a new go-to spot for our weekends in Orlando.
