El Patron Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Omaha

The shrimp tacos are my favorite; they were phenomenal. The chicken tacos were a close second. The al pastor tacos were pretty bad, the meat was so rubbery that I couldn't bite into it. The service was marvelous, the young person who helped me was attentive, kind, and knowledgeable. If you're bothered by harsh overhead florescent lighting, this is not the place for you. Hopefully as they make more money they can add in some softer wall lights. I really was not a fan of the juke box on the wall. It's was way too loud for such a small place.

My wife liked it so much she said she wants to order a plate full of just the meat next time 😆 Always love it when we find a solid restaurant that hits all the right spots. We'll...

For nearly 2 decades I've been searching for the perfect taco. I've been coast to coast and up until now, the closest I had come was a little taco stand outside a truck stop near Sacramento. I almost gave up hope, but finally I've found what my heart has desired for so long. El Patron makes the perfect taco.

It's a hole in the wall, but if you love authentic Mexican food, this place is seriously incredible. Would be nice if the chairs were a little more...
