We stopped in for lunch on the way back from the beach. As a party of 5 (4 adults and 1 kid), we…read morewere pleasantly surprised by the amount of food and price. 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.

We got just two dishes, one was a classic, steak Fajitas, but the other dish, was definitely an improvised dish. It was a thin and crunchy big tortilla stuffed with a mix of cheesy veggies and meats. Everything was great. The service was great too, very friendly and responsive staff. I would definitely come back.

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.

The last few takeout orders have been rather disappointing and the most recent order was a total disappointment. The tacos I ordered this time were very skimpy. They also neglected to include my rice and beans and other side items that accompany the tacos. The other dish that was ordered for my wife did have her rice and beans but when I tasted the beans I was glad I didn't get any. They had a badly burnt taste indicating they had burnt severely in the pot and they had salvaged what they could with no regard for what they might taste like. We also had the beef dip which has queso, but it was bland, thin and watered down. It appears that this restaurant is going downhill fast. It's a shame to see the decline in quality at a restaurant, that at times has been really good.

The OCEAN ISLE BOWL has arroz verde which she described as having cilantro & spinach blended fine which eliminates the distinctive flavor many dislike! (My son & husband think it tastes like soap.) She brought a small serving of it out for us to try before we ordered. IT WAS SOOO YUMMY!!!! All of us stepped outside of our comfort zone & ordered something "new & different" from our "Mexican go to choices". ALL OF US WERE VERY PLEASED. My son & I had the OCEAN ISLE BOWL, hubby had the shrimp fajitas, my daughter-in-law the Maya bowl, I also ordered the Mexican street corn. Restaurant has a full tequila bar and a nice section of bourbons too. WE WILL RETURN!!
