The food and the service was very good.I liked it restaurant and the employees are friendly

I've been going there for two years now all of a sudden yesterday when I went, I ordered the same thing the enchiladas and I get beef steak and chicken but yesterday I got an extra charge for steak and I have other receipts that don't have that charge where I was there less than a month ago. This is not a good review. You should pay for what you get, but I didn't get what I paid for. read more

The food is good. Not amazing. But good. But the prices have increased over time. And more recently have jumped a good bit. Some almost doubling. Most meals being $18+. Which wasn't the end of the world. But now they are skimping on how much food you are getting as well. Cant recommend when you can go plenty of other places with amazing food and still get more food than here now. See the chicken dish bellow. No I didn't cut it in half, that is the full meal. Not pictured is that it is smashed as thin as two or three quarters stacked. That is not an $18 dish. read more

I went here for a friend's birthday and the food was great. Service was a little slow, but the restaurant was clean and they gave her some free sopapilla well chips really not actual sopapillas for her birthday and they sang to her. We got three different things and each of us enjoyed our food. I always love the different dips. They provide with the chips and eat way too much. They're a little overpriced, but they are good and I enjoyed my food, especially the grilled fish Tacos. read more

Great lunch deals, fresh salsas and an aesthetic that is more modern than traditional Tex mex found in Oklahoma. Service was good. Love the salsa flight! read more

We have been meaning to try El Patron since we attended an election watch party 2 years ago. We finally got around to it. The ambiance and the service were excellent. It's very spacious and the black decor is elegant and creates a relaxed atmosphere. What I like about the lunch menu is that you can choose your sides in addition to your entree. Dan and I don't like rice. We were happy that we could order guacamole instead of rice. We both got a chile relleno, beans, and guacamole. We thought the food was a bit bland so we asked if they had a hotter salsa. They did and it was hot. It was perfect with the milder sauce they brought with the chips. We added the salsa to the food and were happy. We always ask for a hotter salsa at Mexican restaurants and are surprised at how many restaurants have it but you just have to ask for it. Many a meal has been saved by just asking for a salsa with more heat. read more

Every year I take my adult children out for dinner wherever they want to go and they can get whatever they want on the menu and it's on me. This year my daughter chose El Patron. Now my first experience here was when I turned 50 during COVID in 2020. I have been a few more times since then so I was already familiar. This was my kids and grandkids first time. They all loved the restaurant and my granddaughters loved how pretty the ladies bathroom was. The inside of the restaurant is clean and modern with a full bar. My kids had the fried pork belly guacamole and queso as appetizers. I had my favorite Corona margarita on the rocks which is so delicious! Victor was our waiter and I gave this review a 4 due to Victor and his service. He was very nice, a great attitude and professional. My only critique is he wasn't attentive. We had to wait a while for different things other than that he is a good waiter. read more

Beautiful atmosphere, excellent food, attentive staff! Very upscale feel. We've been 3 times and each time it was amazing! The salsas are fantastic. There are two nice bars- one up stairs and one down. Live music on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights upstairs. Patio seating option. read more

I'm a big sauce girl, so I love that they have 3 sauces: red, ranch, and sweet green. The red was good but compared to the others they were better. The ranch one is like a more spiced (but not necessarily spicy) version of your regular ranch. My family seemed to like it the best. I really like the sweetness of the green still and how it's unique. Refreshing too. It isn't your typical verde sauce, more like a fruity or cucumber type flavor than green chilies. Very large menu which I love so I had trouble deciding but ended up on the verde enchiladas with chicken. Very good. I always forget how simple they are on the inside, pretty much just chicken but that's ok. Good flavor and somewhere right in the middle of juicy and dry. Fairly Good amount of chicken. LOVED the verde sauce! Different from complimentary green sauce mentioned above, which I was wondering about and happy about it being different/ more the normal verde sauce for the dish. It's one of the kinds that's more sour. Lots of good flavor. Would totally order again just for the sauce being the verde sauce how I like it. The beans were standard (still good) but I'd say the rice here is actually a bit better compared to many others. Just seemed to have more flavor like chicken broth, and good amount of veggies to add more of the flavor. I also have ordered the verde pozole (I think is what it was) which at the time was a new item. I haven't been in a while and I hope they still have it. It was so delicious!!!! The flavor was amazing, and the broth just warmed my soul!!! Would love to order it again. read more

Update 3/16/24 The shrimp on the Pollo Norteño was fabulous. Large plump fresh tasting shrimp, perfectly cooked to deliver a nice snap when biting into them. Lightly seasoned and covered in hot melted cheese. All this, over a large thin grilled chicken breast floating on a bed of peppers, onions and tomatoes sauteed in butter. An outstanding plate of flavor. Not a light meal. This meal is absolutely recommended! My wife had the El Patron Bowl. A big healthy bowl of black beans, lettuce, and Pico de Gallo topped with grilled seasoned chicken. Both meals were very good. I would like to have given El Patron 5 stars on this visit. The service is still lacking. It was adequate. We got our meals and the waitress disappeared until time for the check. An offer to refill our drinks was all I was hoping for. El Patron is a nice large comfortable restaurant with an upscale ambiance, creating an expectation that the quality of the service will match the quality of the food. It didn't quite succeed. read more

The steak quesadilla as an entree was amazing! I highly recommend as the steak was good quality and they gave you plenty.

The customer service is good as far as the manager that we requested to come to our table due to the food she never gave to our table . The waiter took the plate instead to go show her. When asked how we wanted the meat medium/rare . The meet came out dry and well done . The rice and beans was flat . The Molcajete was nothing like the picture and only had 1 piece of meet and 1 piece of chicken nothing like pictures at all . Not happy with the food service at all read more

El Patron is my go-to spot--period. I've been coming here for a while and honestly, even though I order the same things every time (creature of habit!), the food never disappoints. Everything's flavorful, fresh, and just hits right. Shoutout to Gabby, the manager--she's the best. Always welcoming and on top of everything. Makes the place feel even more like a neighborhood gem. Now... I do have a bone to pick: I miss the Killer Margarita. That drink was elite. I get it--it might've been too good--but maybe bring it back with a little restriction? Like, you can only order it if you're with two or more people. Just a thought. One last thing: the bar seating. I'm not super tall, but my knees barely fit under there. If there's ever a remodel, maybe raise it a few inches? Would make it way more comfortable to sit and vibe. Overall, still 10/10. Just a few tweaks away from perfection. read more

Server was attentive at first then started getting busy, had to ask for refill, to go box and our check like dang cmon get it together!!! Full service bar to have cocktails or a date. Live music as well, nice sound as well!! Large dining area heard group of 40 or 14 coming in for birthday. Either way I'm sure they can accommodate. Chips and 3 salsas for starters red- white-green all tasty but not too spicy. Ceviche was fresh and flavorful maybe needed a lil more juice to it. Kinda dry El Acapulco was shrimp with chunks of pineapple and grilled onions topped with queso on bed of rice, wow this was delish!!! Larger portions! Could definitely share both plates!!!! Had some for lunch next day! I was impressed on the flavor. Large parking lot but it was full. So get there early! They stayed busy the entire time. Inside is nicely decorated from ceiling fixtures to lighting. It really is fancy inside and nice but okay for casual dressed. We will be back to try something else for sure!!!! read more

Free green and red salsa and a ranch dip to start? Uhh okay, loved the green salsa! I also ordered a mojito and it was delicious and smooth. My friend liked her strawberry marg. My taco was good and the rice was okay.. won't lie it was a little bland.. service was good tho! Overall, good experience! read more

I ordered fajitas. They only came with two tortillas, and when I asked for more, they told me I'd have to pay for them. The fajitas were covered in grease and some soupy-looking tomato sauce. I didn't get shredded cheese with the fajitas either and had to pay extra for that. Instead of bringing shredded cheese, he brought a small side of queso. Our drinks never got refilled either. The lighting is way too bright as well. The lights are worse than the neon lights in my office. I almost needed sunglasses. I will never go back again. read more

We enjoyed every bit of our service and food. Was visiting the area and stumbled across this place. We had Mario as our server. He checked on us just enough. Some places seem to check on you way too much. He made some recommendations. We went with the fajitas. The salsas were amazing. Never been to a place that had more than two choices. The place was well lit and very clean. Can't wait to visit the area again. We will be back. read more

Friend said food was OK but go to see the inside of the building. Really, I wasn't that impressed with either. Tried the chimichanga and it was just OK. It was very busy (opening week) when we went. Beer selection is small and in cans only. read more

One of our favorite mexican restaurants in Tulsa! A fun atmosphere with live music, food comes fairly quickly and is pretty good, the several types of salsa to keep you occupied till your food is prepared is always my favorite! The staff is always very friendly read more

Salsa was mediocre. The verde was the best but thought they could do better with with red salsa. The strawberry purée mimosa was not good and it's was $9! Like what?! This same size mimosa at Waterfront is only $3. My boyfriends raspberry jumbo marg was really good though! El Acapulco was flavorful and came with homemade tortillas. That is one perk of this restaurant. They make real tortillas. I can't stand going to Mexican restaurants that don't have homemade tortillas. My boyfriend went to the bathroom and did it was pretty filthy. read more

First thing, walking in, this place is so bright. Like hurt your eyes bright....Why??? We sat at the bar. Bartenders had no idea how to make drinks. My husband was giving them directions. We ordered fajitas. When they were just "dropped in front of us"- no plates, no silverware, no tortillas..... Took at least 5 minutes to get those. This was all around 6:30 on a Wednesday, so they weren't even busy. We are in the business, so very forgiving. This is a one and done for us.... read more

The place is very spacious there was no music at all. The staff was very friendly and were very good on being on top of everything to makes us feel confortable. I didn't like the nachos and salsas were ok, cocktails was good, Cochinita was good and the octopus was good too. Overall I think is good. We were celebrating my mother's birthday so they brought sopapillas in a little cart with different dipping and they sang happy birthday which was nice. read more

10 out of 10!! The food and service was amazing! They have the best chicken tortilla soup!!

This place is right on the corner of 41st and Garnett The inside has lots of indoor seating. This place is clean. They make their own flour tortillas in an area customers can see them being made. I ordered the Santa Fe and my husband ordered the beef fajitas and table side guacamole. They brought out chips and 2 different types of salsa and one white mayo based dip. The green salsa was sweet but it was good. The white dip my husband likes but had a definite mayo taste to it. The Red salsa - was standard salsa. The guacamole was not made at the table but bright out to our table instead. The flavor was nothing unusual. After a short wait, the food came out hot and fresh. The flavor was outstanding. So good we didn't take pictures or talk that much. We just ate. The portions were good sized and the staff was attentive. I would recommend eating there read more

I have been wanting to check this place out. The restaurant has a great look and feel! The bar area is very cool and they appear to have a very nice outdoor space. The waitstaff was friendly and service was quick. Their menu is huge. They have great prices for lunch with nice variety too. They bring three different salsas to the table fairly quickly - red, white and green...all are tasty! My dish came with steak, shrimp and chicken sautéed with onions, zucchini and tomatoes over rice with cheese! I look forward to going back when I can check out their margaritas. They have a large selection in fun flavors like jalapeño and cucumber are two that come to mind. read more

El Patron Cocina Mexicana - Delicious meal! - Tacos Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

The food is NOT authentic Mexican if that is what you're looking for. Best to find that at various taco trucks around town. Service is sub par, they don't clear anything from your table unless you put it on an adjacent table. It was very hard to get our servers attention. When I asked for a corona with lime and glass, . that proved difficult. I think my carne asada quesadilla was actually deep fried. The server added on extra rice & beans that I did not order, and the guacamole that comes with the fajitas was about a spoonful. In short, the food was way too salty (cooks smoke?) and nobody finished their food. I'm surprised I didn't get diarrhea from the lack of quality, quite frankly. read more

The food was amazing and so were the drinks! The spice and taste of the food was amazing. They had music as well and the service was great! Their patio is huge to enjoy dinner on! Highly recommend! May be our new favorite place! read more

We hadn't planned this meal tonight due to a drastic change of plans, but we ended up with a 3rd tag along (the mini monster) But nevertheless she enjoyed her meal. I tried something new that ended up being a new fav. I've become so cliche with the basic steak & chicken quesadillas, however they never fail me. But today was the Enchiladas Blancas & Patron Steak. I loved the live music & atmosphere that was there for the night. Not too big on sitting down in restaurants during this COVID-19 season but had a change of mind with the staff and time i had at El Patron! We'll Be back soon ! read more
