El Patron Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Lebanon Township

Don’t let Linda Lou’s review deter you. I sat at the table next to her at dinner tonight and listened to her complain and complain for 30 straight minutes while the staff did everything in their power to be overly friendly and accommodate her while she sat there, scoffed in their face and insulted them while her husband hung his head in embarrassment. After everything the staff was willing to do for them including taking a meal off the check and making her a quesadilla to go, which.. I don’t know why she even asked for that since she was sitting there trashing their food and chef the entire time they were making it.. I watched her tell her husband DONT tip the server 20% .. the same server who profusely apologized for nothing, really. And bent over backwards to try to make you happy. anyway I ordered the shrimp enchiladas and they were fantastic! Their enchiladas and veggie quesadilla are my favorite things on their menu. Also, the fresh guacamole that they make at the table is a MUST. They also have the best margarita, get it with casamigos! Next time try a margarita Linda, you sure could use it! I go here on average about twice a week. Hands down my favorite restaurant. 10/10 service and 10/10 food....

The place is beautiful inside. A lot of attention to detail. The service was great also. They give you chips and salsa when seated. Where it disappointed was the food unfortunately and it is not cheap. My husband and I shared a plate thinking they were going to provide a lot on one plate considering it was $28.99 for La Parillada. When the plate came out, I could not believe how little bit of rice and beans they provided. That's the cheapest food, you would think they would load up the plate with that. It was about a 1/4 cup of rice and beans That's it. I had to ask for an extra plate of rice and beans which costs an extra $8 I believe. The flavor was okay, rather bland if I am honest. Not the latino flavors I am used to. I am Hispanic if that makes a difference, so I am used to lots of flavors. Nothing had distinct flavors. Not the rice, not the beans or any of the meats on the plate. I am truly disappointed having walked out of there spending $50 and ordering one plate of food, a small side of rice and beans, and two beverages. I would've gladly paid $18.99 for La Parillada not $28.99 and an extra $5 for the extra rice and beans. Will not be back. Way...

Hands down the best Mexican restaurant not just in Hunterdon County but quite possibly the entire state of NJ! Try their complimentary warm tortilla chips with delicious homemade salsa or try the awesome table side guacamole! You MUST try their scratch made margaritas to accompany your meal…we are a huge fan of the Hornitos tequila 😋 Do yourself a favor and order the Tacos al Carbon for dinner, you will not be disappointed! Make sure to ask for the house made habanero hot sauce! THE BEST…Be careful, very delicious but can be VERY spicy! They should bottle this sauce and sell it! I’ve tried ALOT of different things on the extensive menu and EVERYTHING has been phenomenal! From my kids who are obsessed with the kids menu items to my wife, who is in love with the grilled chicken taco salad, there is something to make everyone happy! If you have room , finish up your meal with the churros for dessert. Mouthwatering!! The wait staff here are super friendly and knowledgeable and the owner goes out of his way to make sure your visit is perfect! What are you waiting for??? Get to El Patron tonight!! I’ll probably already...
