El Gran Patron Inc. — Restaurant in Town of Wilna

My wife and I are permanent residence in Natural Bridge and about 5 minutes from El Patron. We are from Houston, Tx and just moved back from Houston this last weekend while being gone for a couple of years. We been hearing about this new restaurant in NB and getting good reviews so we decided to have lunch for the first time today. Well, as a Tex Mex eater all my life, I have to say this little restaurant was great! I had the Asada (beef) quesadillas and my wife enjoyed her chicken nachos. We also enjoyed the fresh guacamole with chips and added some queso (melted cheese) to the appetizer. The atmosphere is totally great with the Mexican decor and vibe. Cody are server was excellent and very kind. No waiting , our meal was served in a few minutes with green and red salsa. To my amazement, for desert, this place has “tres Leches” cake….omg! If you’ve never had tres Leches cake before, don’t start or suffer the addiction for life. Tres Leches is a soggy sweet cake made with three different types of milk with different fruit topping….as a native Texan, I highly recommend it to finish a meal. Born and raised in Texas for 60 years and moving this far north, I had one primary concern…..no, not the crazy snow but where am I going to find Mexican food? Well, it’s 5 mins away from our camp and can’t wait for the weekends. All I need is some breakfast tacos and this place will be perfect. Got a feeling we’ll be regulars from this day on and looking forward to enjoying the rest of the menu. Congratulations to the ownership, cooks, and servers on a fantastic product. Thank you El Patron, we’ll be seeing you again.

El Gran Patrón Inc. is a newer addition to the dining scene, operating with limited hours. It's advisable to call ahead, especially if you're not in close proximity, as they occasionally close earlier on slower days. However, once you step inside, you're greeted by a phenomenal team that exudes politeness and flexibility. They go above and beyond to accommodate your preferences, even if they've run out of a particular item. The restaurant offers a delightful array of authentic Hispanic cuisine, with a menu that's continually expanding. Despite its smaller size, the place tends to get packed, a testament to its popularity. But let me assure you, the wait is well worth it for the mouthwatering dishes they serve up.

They do have limited parking outside though so it can definitely get tricky finding a spot to park from...

What. A. Joke. We walked in this evening for dinner. We had heard good things about the food. When we walked in, the girl behind the counter just stared at us. We then sat in the restaurant at a table for 15 minutes. Eventually a man brought over 3 sodas for us. We were confused, we hadn’t ordered anything yet as NO ONE had acknowledged us, but kept staring at us. The table next us asked if we had ordered the sodas. We did not and learned it was for them. We then asked if we needed to order at the counter. The man at the table said no, and HE went and got us menus!! He didn’t even work there! After we saw their outlandish prices for quesadillas that was the nail in the coffin. Garbage customer service. They...
