    We were looking for Mexican after driving around the area. We saw where this was now El Patron and…read moreas we were passing the Food City we saw it and decided to give it a try. We were greeted with smiling eyes (since she had on a mask) and friendly demeanor. It wasn't very crowded so she told us to sit anywhere. They brought us 2 bowls of salsa. It was just ok- almost plain tomato sauce. They need to spice it up a little bit. Our friend wanted a margarita but they only serve beer. We wanted guacamole Mexicano but they were out of avocados. It's not looking good at this point. (They were VERY apologetic about it). Both of us couples ordered Pechuga Chicken to split. It came quickly and was very hot. We both ordered it with the cheese sauce on the side because we didn't want it saturated. We all really enjoyed the meal. It was delicious. If we're in this area again and craving Mexican we would probably eat here again.

    I ordered the tamale and the Carnitas en Salsa Verde. Unfortunately, both were very disappointing…read more The tamale was extremely salty, and I honestly don't understand all the extra toppings and ingredients piled around it. I was expecting a traditional tamale wrapped in a corn husk, not one covered with random toppings and unnecessary extras. The presentation and flavor just didn't work for me, and I would not order it again. The carnitas was okay, but again, very disappointing. Salsa verde means green sauce, and this was definitely not a green sauce--it was red. They do use tomatillos, which may be why they consider it "verde," but that's not what I would expect when ordering carnitas en salsa verde or chile verde. I was specifically expecting the traditional green chile-based sauce. Overall, neither dish was what I expected, and unfortunately, I wouldn't order either one again.
