It was a little slow on actually getting seated but to be fair the gal was working solo. That being said, it wasn't busy when we stopped by.The food was amazing, the restaurant was very clean and nicely decorated.We ordered the Tacos De Barria's and the Street Tacos Pastor...you get four of each and we split them two and two for the each of us.The Pastor Street Tacos had the perfect amount of char on the meat and the little sweetness from the pineapple was perfect...good quac sauce to boot!The Tacos De Barria were the first we've had up in the area and they were outstanding! With the barria dipping sauce adding even more to the flavor!Service was better once we were actually seated and we'll definitely be back again as the menu has alot of options that look delicious!

I went to El Patron to order some food for takeout the maître d’, or waiter or whatever you may wanna call him I told him I was there to order some food for takeout and he asked me what did I want. I said I’m here to order some food for takeout. He said well what do you want? I said can I have a menu so I can order something well anyway I got the menu and the waitress that took my order. She was friendly but everyone else there treated me as if I was invisible, very unfriendly, and the food that I received for takeout was greasy and soggy I’ll take a picture and put it online, but my experience was not a pleasant one. I had to return to this page to edit my comments after tasting my food, it taste just like I said, greasy and soggy.

Delicious food every time. Margaritas have great flavor.Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free items clearly marked on the menu. Be sure to notify your server it must be gluten free. They know how to avoid cross contamination.
