What a beautiful restaurant. They have these great iron chandeliers and beautiful artwork on the walls and the wonderful tile work makes you feel very comfortable while eating lots of good comfort food. They're not shy about their spices here and you get that feeling of authentic Mexican food. The service was fantastic, the food was spicy diverse and delicious. Fresh baked thin and crispy chips were fantastic to start with. We're coming for a bigger meal later but we had appetizers in this visit. Definitely a go-to place for good food and great service with a lovely atmosphere.
Every time I come to el patron it is an A1 visit. The staff is great. The chips and salsa is hard to stop eating. The sopas are delicious and hit the spot after a meal. My date got a combo which was extremely delicious. I got the casserole and oh my Lawd. Let me tell you, this casserole made me want to hop in the kitchen and tip the cooks. I couldn’t have had a better dinner. I would definitely recommend this place.
This place has really great food! I always come for happy hour and the food and service is always stellar. During happy hour they have a band in the bar area. Happy hour starts at 3 everyday!! Some of the best things on the menu, fish tacos, shrimp tostada, frito pie and cheese fries!!! Prices are excellent during happy hour. 🤤 Been to both locations, ONLY GO TO THE MONTGOMERY LOCATION! You’ll thank me later.

Visited this place on a Sunday late afternoon. My experience was overall good. The food quality is topnotch. The drinks are very affordable, service was ok. Atmosphere was quite.. but i love the interior design.
Great place for amazing food and drinks. The staff are absolutely incredible and the friendliest people you'd want to spend an evening with.
We enjoyed the first time we were at El Patron and decided to go back. All I can say is fantastic! Everyone from the host to the servers were polite and attentive. Even the manager came to our table to check to make sure our meals and service were good. We had the chili con queso with tortilla chips for an appetizer. It was very good! Slightly spicy with hearty chips. The Chicken Mushroom Lasagna and the Enchilada Chicken Casserole were outstanding! Portions were generous, so looking forward to lunch tomorrow! I highly recommend and we will be going back soon.
Well, we came back! Again exceptional service by Parker! Outstanding service, went well out of his way to make an enjoyable experience! Had to get the queso again! So good with crispy chips and slightly spicy queso. We split the green chili chicken lasagna this time. Plenty for two people! Topped it off with a house Chardonnay…wonderful! Ask for Parker and you won’t be disappointed!
My family and I really enjoy this place. The atmosphere is fantastic, and almost always has live music when we go, normally at dinner time.
We loved the food and overall atmosphere here! Super kind staff, and beautiful building. The mariachi band was playing, and they were so wonderful. The cheese quesadilla was fantastic, the taquitos my husband got were super crispy, and the nachos were super enjoyable too. Overall such a neat experience here, and can’t wait to come back soon!
Outstanding service and very good food. The atmosphere is wonderful with numerous decorations. Our server was friendly and attentive. The tiramasu was excellent! Yes, they had tiramasu. The salmon enchiladas were great, too.
