“ Our food was amazing. Great selection of choices and reasonably priced. Staff were very patient and polite. Looking forward to dropping in again. ”
“ Food was amazing! It's small place but food quality is top notch! Authentic flavors and great amount of foods! ”
“ Do you remember that Cosby episode where Claire had to lose weight to fit into a formal gown for an event that she and Heathcliff were planning to attend? In the middle of the night she snuck into the kitchen and tried a Mexican dish that Heathcliff had earlier prepared to intentionally entice her. The minute she tried a spoonful she was completely mesmerized! That episode aired so many years ago and for years and I'm talking years I've been trying to imagine what that spoonful tasted like. During a recent visit to El El Patron I finally experienced that for myself. Have mercy. Do yourself a favor, get the El Patron mixed grill. Hope you enjoy as much as I did ”
“ I'm usually a regular at other Mexican spots in the area, but I decided to give this spot a try. They look like they are primarily a take out spot, but there is ample seating inside. We ordered a shrimp burrito platter that came with rice and beans and a steak burrito. Their portions are fairly generous and pricing is very affordable. For both items we paid around $27. Their food was very tasty and flavor seemed to be very authentic. They have a lot of options on their menu and even sell desserts at the store. if you have ever been curious, i highly recommend giving this a try! ”
“ I've eaten in the restaurant twice and the food truck in Severna Park once. The tacos are very good in the restaurant and even better for lunch off the truck. Large portions. Fair prices. 3 over stuffed tacos (carnitas, shrimp, lengua) with cucumbers, radish, Limes, and hot sauce for $13.60. Much more satisfying than my last couple Chipotle orders. ”
“ The food was pretty good. I had the floutas and enchiladas and my friend had the shrimp and steak fajitas. The service was fairly quick and the ambiance was pleasant. ”
“ El Patron is my go-to, neighborhood taqueria. It is a small location, but I only order pick up so I never spend much time inside. The staff is friendly, but sometimes the wait is a bit extreme. But their food is worth the extra wait, I just suggest that you order well ahead instead of just showing up! I am a fan of corn taco shells, which is what they use, and their tacos come double-shelled. They over-stuff the tacos with tons of meat, onions and my favorite, cilantro! The fresh vegetables that they serve with the tacos are always fresh and the perfect addition! They used to include verde sauce with their tacos, but now they give the red sauce pictured. Personally, I don't care for any type of spicy sauce, luckily; I keep a jar of verde sauce in my fridge! :-) They also used to give you chips and salsa on the side, but they stopped. It would be great if they decided to bring them back! During this trip, I decided to try one of their dips. Boy, am I glad that I did! The chorizo dip was so good! They give you a ton if it and they are not stingy with the chips either! It was just the right amount of spicy, and the queso was creamy and delicious. El Patron is highly recommended, order today! ”
