El Patron

I like this establishment for several reasons. The type of cuisine offered is delightful, and the decor is both beautiful and thoughtfully designed. The waiting area is inviting, featuring visible permits and certificates of excellence, while the New Mexican decorations add a charming touch. The live music enhances the overall experience, making it truly enjoyable. I was pleased with the variety of menu options, and the server was courteous and attentive. Additionally, having a children's menu available is a thoughtful inclusion. The layout of the tables is well-planned, contributing to a pleasant dining atmosphere. We look forward to returning to explore different dishes. My only minor concern is that the food took a little longer to arrive than anticipated, though it was not excessively delayed. Also, while the restrooms are reasonably clean, there is certainly room for improvement.

I thought there would be a happy hour going on at El Patron. We went to the bar around 5:00 and there was nothing other than $5 fireball shots. We sat at a bistro table and were offered menus and water. We ordered off the senior menu. I ordered 2 tacos, smashed beans, and rice. My wife ordered 3 taqiitos with whole beans and rice. My tacos were ground beef, but the flavor was overwhelmingly textured vegetable protein, served in premade taco shells with a sprinkle of lettuce and even less tomato. I ordered 2 tacos and couldn't force myself to finish the last one. My wife tried one taquito and left the other 2 on the plate. The serve brought 2 sopapillas. Cold and hard as cardboard. I poured some of the high fructose corn syrup, sugar, with a touch of honey into the stiff cold sopapilla and tried to eat it. The restaurant is a sham, the service and environment are nice, but the food is the worst New Mexican food I've ever eaten.

Came for lunch on a Sunday with my sister and nephew. No wait. We had a relatively new server, Sean, and he was excellent. Even with a large party he was still attentive to our table. The chips and salsa are bomb. Chips are made in house. Thin, warm, the right amount of salt. Food came out fast and to perfection. Guacamole is delicious. Add serano cream sauce to anything and it's magical. Lol There is also have a great a great happy hour.

Food was amazing!!! Visiting from Colorado, we have green chili in Colorado, the server suggested some red green mix. With hesitation I got the red on the side but it quickly made it on the dish!! Was fantastic and the server/atmosphere was amazing. I will be back on my next visit to the area!!!

What’s good? Fajita, chips, sopapilla, Patron skinny margarita… live music, great service for big parties. The actual structure is a little run down but the food was really good.
