Burritos El Patron — Restaurant in Minneapolis

First time trying & we will most definitely be returning!!

Ordered takeout last night and the whole experience was great. They use a customizable online ordering system (clover) so you can see everything that’s included with what you’re getting (the one exception being, I didn’t know my torta included french fries, so I ordered a side. not a big deal).

The restaurant is inside a grocery store, so there is not much for seating/atmosphere but it’s a fantastic place for takeout and groceries. And my partner said the owner was extremely kind and accommodating! We accidentally forgot to enter any meat for our burrito, and he remade it for us no problem.

Portion sizes are quite large, a whole 6 oz guac & chips is $6, a big ol piece of tres leches (i’m talking roughly 5”x5”) is $6.. plus there’s different deals on different days of the week.

My only feedback/notes for next time: request to have torta & burrito cut in half, and salt on the tortilla chips. 😁

Thank you to the owner (i believe it’s Javier) 🙏 You’re doing...

I would recommend this locale if you like take-out mexican food. Its dinning area is small.

I went on a sat night to get some quick food. The resturaunt is located in a not-so-organized convenience store. There was a small section with tables to sit. Chef was very hospitable and helped me with the menu. Overall, a good experience with great food and good value.

Good:

Food was excellent - one of the better Mexican joints in the area. I'll be back for more! Price - the items I got were a really good value Staff - the chef ( I'm assuming this was the owner) was very friendly and welcoming.

Not so good:

Wait - took a bit of time to get my food, but it was made to order, so it was fresh. The food was worth the wait. I would recommend calling in your order before you arrive. Atmosphere - the convenience store where its located was in a bit of disarray.

Verdict Good food and value, nice staff, ill be back.

Try this place out if you are in the mood for good Mexican takeout or burgers and are looking for...

I love this place, I feel like it's the TV show Bobs Burgers, but in real life 😆 The food is unique and has a lot of character, like a home-cooked meal. I always feel welcomed here and comfortable, there is a very relaxing and chill vibe which permeates this restaurant. Great place to stop for a burrito.

They used to do a tofu burrito that I quite liked, but they had to phase it out due to lack of demand. It's too bad IMO. So I think right now the vegetarian burrito is just beans, rice, and veggies. It's still good tho. The spicy salsa hits.

I was collecting some empty Jarritos bottles for a project and the owner was even willing to make a deal where he collected bottles for a couple weeks and I paid him for them when I picked them up. He's a great guy, fun to talk to and I can tell that he has...
