My first impression or visual when I heard about this restaurant was the famous "Patron" tequila. I thought this may be a training ground for people to get ready for the "Patron Challenge" Well, one thing is for sure, El Patron in my book stands for Inexpensive and tasty Mexican food. The Lunch specials are a great deal!
Here's a tip - Yelp check in = free slice of flan! already off to a great start! I was here for lunch and the deals are excellent in my book. Delicious copious amounts of food with great service thrown in!
We started out by ordering "Flautas" a fried tortilla almost resembles a crispy egg roll filled with chicken and topped with pico de gallo, lettuce and sour cream. The chicken meat was a little under seasoned for my taste, but it was still a great appetizer to start the meal.
For our Entrée we ordered the Mini Bandeja paisa and Combo Patron. We were served a side salad before our meals arrived. We were amazed how large the lunch orders were. The Bandeja looked like a thing of beauty when they placed it on our table, perfectly cooked medium skirt steak, egg sunny side up, moist avocado, sweet moist plantains and pork belly fried up nice, crispy and crunchy. The white rice was moist and not overly salty. The beans were soft, flavorful and OMG delicious!
The Combo Patron was a huge plate of Awesomeness! The combo comes with a Steak taco, pork tostada and Chicken enchilada. They serve It with yellow rice and beans, The combo looked like a big mess, messy to eat but our taste buds savored every delicious bite!
We were so full from our meals and had leftovers to take home, but for some strange reason we always find room for dessert, a free one in this case, thanks Yelp! :) The Flan was OK and we ordered coffee. I appreciated that they heated up the milk, but the coffee was a little on the weak side for us.
All this for about $25, not a bad deal for lunch, couple that with great company and exceptional service, now that's what I call a winning...
Read moreThey laughed in my face, insulted me, lied to me, and tried overcharging me by $25 due to the waitress and bosses error. The lunch special was $12 and served until 3pm. After 3pm the price increases to $22. When I ordered, the waitress said that I’d be charged for the lunch prices as I arrived at 2:30pm, a half hour before the special ended. I finished my food with my girlfriend and it was 3:30pm, although we were served around 2:30pm. The waitress waited until 3:30pm to print my order ticket and charged me $50 (with no tip) for a meal that should’ve been $30 tops including the tip. When I disputed the charges she begged me to pay as she said she’d get it taken out of her paycheck and lose her job but it was her fault it happened not mine. She lied to my face when I ordered and did not honor the menus prices. The boss lady came out and laughed in my face, insulted me, and said she’d call the police if I do not pay the $50 or tip. Needless to say I handed them $27 ($12x2 meals = $24 plus $3 tax= $27) and...
Read moreMy family with two young children live around the corner from this horrible restaurant and the delivery drivers terrorize our neighborhood. 20mph up the sidewalk outside of our building, if you step outside you’re likely to get hit by one of them returning from a delivery. I have gone inside to ask for a manager to lodge a complaint and have been told there’s no manager here and by the way they don’t speak English. They are actively making the neighborhood less safe and have no concern for their neighbors. I am trying to get the police involved the situation is so bad. Once we ordered food from these people before we were aware of the danger they pose and it was awful. Do not patronize...
