My parents split the ACP with vegetables, my mom said it was the best she'd ever had! It was full of peppers, onions, broccoli. I tried the burrito lunch special and it was so good! It was filling, I couldn't finish it. The rice was super yummy! My husband got a lunch combo with a chili relleno. He really liked it. They have mild and medium salsa which is a nice touch.

What a great experience we had a El Patron Grill! Honestly, this wasn't our first pick but due to…read morethe situation I'm glad we ended up here. We came for a weekday lunch on a rainy day. When we arrived we were sat immediately and were probably the 5th table in the good sized restaurant. Our waiter arrived and took our drink orders quickly. It took a few more minutes before he came back to take our food order. While the menu is pretty large it is not huge. That's good IMO because they understand what each dish takes better. My Michelada was excellent! I don't mean because of the showy shrimp and cucumber with Chamoy and Tajin. I mean it was one of the best ones I've ever tasted and I've had a lot. Our food came out and was really good. I got Chipotle Chicken which came on a sizzling platter with a chipotle cheese sauce, onions and peppers, and rice on the side with tortillas. Lip smacking'! I asked for some home made hot sauce as well. It was pretty good but due to the amount of tomatillos in it I found it a tad bit too tangy. The others in my party were apparently happy with their meals because all of their food was gone. If driving through Elizabethtown or vacationing at White Lake and have a taste for Mexican, stop by El Patron and leave full and happy.

Our drinks were delivered quickly but it did take a long time for our orders to arrive. I got chicken and beef fajitas with beans and rice and salad ( lettuce , a little cheese and tomato ). My grandson got a chicken taco with beans and rice and a empanada. My daughter got a chicken sandwich with fries. Mine was just warm, not hot. The beans were different than most places but they were ok. My grandson did not eat more than two bites of the taco. I have never seen him do that before. He just didn't like it, even after we put salsa on it to try and improve it. Luckily my daughter had a big serving of fries and my grandson are most of them. They were the best thing we had. We had fried ice cream for dessert and that was just ok as well. Our first waiter was great, checked on us several times but then disappeared. The second girl was just like opposite. We had to ask to order the ice cream.... And we waited a long time before asking. The place is decorated beautifully and the booth was comfortable. There is a large parking lot for parking.

There is only outdoor seating, primarily covered in a built outdoor shack. I ordered a burrito with pastor, two tacos with chorizo and pastor, carne asada plate and churros. Everything was delicious, no complaints, other than the tacos needed more cilantro (for my preference) and the pinto beans were bland. They included extra corn tortillas, two tomatillos salsas, and two smoky chipotle chili salsas. I asked for no soft cheeses. The pastor and chorizo were flavorful. I would've liked the pastor to be more crispy, but I still really enjoyed it. The burrito was the best burrito, especially with the salsas, that I've enjoyed so far since living on this side of the coast. The burrito came with a ton of fresh plain salad. Double fresh corn tortillas for each taco makes me so happy! That's the only right way to have a legit Mexican taco. The Carne Asada from the plate dish was pounded thin, mild flavor. Came with a grilled half of a jalapeño, small side plain salad, grilled nopales, grilled onions, rice, and pinto beans. Even though the pinto beans were bland, the salsas made up for the lack of flavor. Churros were warm and fresh. Wish this place was a lot closer to me, otherwise, I would frequent it a lot more!
