    Chips, salsa, Guacamole - Small
    Lynn J.

    Arrived today about 2:45 pm. My order was to perfection. I has A cheese filled chili relleno, cheese enchalada with sour cream sauce. However, my husband ordered a chicken fried steak with fries and the waiter brought him a fried chicken salad. Not sure how that happened. We enjoyed our meal. Before we left I went to the ladies room. Sign saying to put all toilet paper into the trash not toilet. Big trash container next to the toilet - full with a stuck lid. Icky Ick! NO SOAP, NO PAPER TOWELS! How are employees washing their hands before bringing our food? If we get sick, I think I know the problem. We won't be back thank you!

    Starting with the salsa. We asked for two more bowls. I ordered a spicy Margarita. It was the best I've had in forever. Not too spicy or sweet, very pretty. The Beef Crispy Chili Relleno was right on. My husband ordered the Stuffed sopapilla, it was good but liked mine better. We ordered a sopapilla for dessert. It was awesome too. Could have eaten another. Service was great as well

    Haven't been here in awhile...might be one of the cleanest restaurants in Amarillo..even salt and pepper shakers were clean. Both ordered two enchiladas with Queso...yum. Chips were fresh and hot sauce is the best!

    Stopped by on the way back from a road trip and was craving enchiladas. I guess here you cannot mix and match your enchiladas and when asked if I could get one of each (red/green/sour cream) our server said "depends on who's in the kitchen". I don't know how that is helpful, I'm a server and I would've said something like, "Let me go check if we can do that for you". The enchiladas were good, not the best I've had, wouldn't say delicious but good enough. The rice on the plate was better than the enchiladas actually. Also ordered the Barbacoa tacos. It was gross. Meat was very chewy, unflavored/unseasoned, didn't look appetizing at all, texture was just UGH. Definitely have had better and seen better, it was uneatable. I guess barbacoa is a hit or miss at some places and here was a definite miss, their asada meat was better. Pineapple Fresca was decent. Also, our server was unenthusiastic with us and very monotone but we saw him happily and enthusiastically greet and serve the table next to us. I asked for a knife and salsa rojo and he came back when I was already on my last enchilada. Made us feel like we were treated a bit different because we looked like we would tip less than the party next to us.

    The lunch specials were pretty reasonable and the service was great. The food was pretty good. The Chile Relleno was very tasty, as were the Shrimp Enchiladas. The salsa was pretty generic, though. I don't know if it's homemade or not. I ordered a side of green sauce, and it was a lot better than the salsa and had a lot more spice. The rice and beans were tasty, and yes we found out that those can, actually be messed up from other experiences. All in all, it's a 4 star, mostly based on the Chile Relleno and green sauce. Updated my review as I've been back a few times. This has become our Mexican night place. Kids eat free on Mondays, which is a nice bonus.

    Taco which was part of the combination plate I had! Fresh garnishments and lots of meat!

    Absolutely EXCELLENT food! I almost am leery of telling people about it so they won't get too crowded! But all of the food was fresh, came out in a great presentation. Was tasty and a good amount on the plate for the money. Cold beer, great tasting, filtered water and clean and inviting atmosphere. Wonderful and attentive servers. Was an excellent experience. My son had just gotten home from Las Vegas in which the food was all disgusting and overpriced (especially the Mexican cuisine) and going to El Patron was a perfect way to redeem his faith and ours too in great, authentic and worthwhile Mexican food! You will not be disappointed! The waitress was accommodating and kept our drink glasses and chips and hot sauce filled. This will be a regular go to for our family! And it was an excellent experience on a Monday!

    Francina the bartender aims to please!!!

    Decent Tex-Mex restaurant. I especially enjoyed the relleno. Service was a bit slow.
