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.

El Patron Restaurant Cantina in Albuquerque, New Mexico, offers a delightful dining experience with their exceptional chips and enchiladas. The crispiness of the chips complements the rich flavors of their salsa, creating a perfect start to your meal. As for the enchiladas, they stand out with a perfect balance of spices and a mouthwatering blend of ingredients. The authenticity of the Mexican cuisine shines through, making El Patron a must-visit for those seeking a delicious and genuine dining experience in Albuquerque.

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.

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!

Great atmosphere and service at this fun Mexican restaurant! The food was tasty, though a little spicy for me, and it was, overall, a great meal!
Conrad Sparks
Fantastic food at a great price! I had heard good things and that this place had the best in town, and it is a spot-on reputation! The place is very clean and the staff is extremely friendly. The decor is very well done and looks like it wasn't cheap! The chips and salsa were very good, however, the salsa could use a little more flavor. I found that adding in their very fresh pico de gallo and a little hot sauce makes it very good! The reputation is well deserved! The top shelf is one of the best I've ever had! Our server explained that a lot of places add water to their mix and El Patron doesn't do that. It shows! The food was fresh and hot, very tasty, and the portions will leave you stuffed! Since this dinner review I have already visited again, and I will continue to do so.

The food was delicious and the portions are HUGE!!! I had a house margarita on the rocks, which was just "ok," but I'm still pleased overall with my dining experience.

I had a table of 10 for my mom's birthday and we received outstanding table service from Sylvester. The whole group said the food was so good. The beef tips were delicious! You have to try them!
We also received a beautiful Happy Birthday performance by the band for my mom and our server was available to sing with the band. What a voice you have Sylvester! Thank you El Patron for providing excellent food and service from a great server. We'll definitely be back again.

Really great restaurant. The food is excellent. Carne adovada is delicious. Nice big portions. Staff are all friendly and helpful. Restaurant is very clean and well maintained. Have a good size patio. They usually have a mariachi band or guitarist to play.

El Patron is always a fun place to eat with family. Service is fast and the food is amazing. Me and my family go here on most occasions and the kids love the mariachi band!!

I went on a Friday before noon. There was a lot of available parking and the parking lot is large. I had an option to sit inside or out. I picked inside and got a table with great view if the inside decor. Food was delicious. My complaint is they serve those paper thin tortilla chips. If you order an appetizer they bring the better chips which makes it easier to stack guacamole. I went here from a suggestion of a friend and didn’t regret everything he told me to try. The enchiladas casserole!
