El Patron Family Restaurant — Restaurant in Phelan

I'd been meaning to check this roadside Mexican food restaurant for over a year. It's easy to find directly off of Phelan Road, close to the traffic signal at Weekly. Family restaurant fits perfectly, booth seating, very casual. There's a t.v. mounted on a corner wall directly a over the booth we chose at first, but the blaring sound of a soccer game soon drove us to sit elsewhere.

El Patron is the place to go for mexican food. The cheese enchiladas rancheras were delicious with the rice and beans. The chips and salsa had great flavor. The salsa had quite a hot hit to them. The watermelon margaritas were huge and weren't watered down. The fried ice cream was huge and very delicious. The horchata left something to be desired, and I can't wait to back and try their agua frescas. Today was taco tuesday. I ordered two asada street tacos and my son got 2 chicken. I added salsa and guacamole to mine and they were delicious. My son thought they were a little dry but liked it better with the guacamole. Craving mexican in Phelan? El patron is your place.
