Overall good, but we all thought the margaritas were way too sugary. I sent mine back, and I asked for a quote, skinny margarita, which turned out to be the right balance of sweet-and-sour.

El Patron Restaurante Mexicano offers a dining experience that is a true celebration of Mexican cuisine. From the moment we entered, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a vibrant atmosphere that set the stage for an unforgettable evening. The food was delicious, boasting authentic flavors that surpassed my expectations. We started our meal with crispy tortilla chips served with a flavorful salsa. The Enchilada Suizas and Enchiladas with Mole Sauce were the stars of our main course. The Enchilada Suizas featured a tangy green tomatillo sauce, while the Enchiladas with Mole Sauce showcased the richness and complexity of the traditional mole sauce, perfectly complementing the succulent chicken. The kids enjoyed the comforting and delicious Chicken Quesadillas, a hit for even the pickiest eaters. To complement my meal, I indulged in a spicy mango margarita, and it was nothing short of excellent. The balance between the sweet mango and the tangy lime was perfection in a glass. It was refreshing, smooth, and added a delightful twist to my overall dining experience. I highly recommend giving it a try. But it wasn't just the food that made our dining experience exceptional. Our server, JoseCA, went above and beyond to ensure our utmost satisfaction. With a friendly smile and helpful demeanor, he guided us through the menu, provided insightful recommendations, and attended to our every need. His exceptional service added a personal touch to our meal, making us feel like valued guests. The manager also made a point to visit our table, taking the time to engage in a pleasant chat. Their presence and genuine interest in our dining experience elevated the ambiance of the restaurant. It was clear that the entire staff was dedicated to providing an outstanding level of hospitality. The restaurant's vibrant atmosphere and attention to detail made it a memorable experience. I highly recommend El Patron Restaurante Mexicano for a truly authentic Mexican culinary adventure

The volume of the music made this experience unbearable. We asked our server several time to ask to lower the volume, but no luck. The food was great the service was also great . If they don’t have the DJ we would most definitely go again. Never again with the DJ

Considering it was Cinco de Mayo, we expected a large crowd so I am very happy that we made the reservation thru Open Table. As expected, we were told there would be a short wait for our table, which turned out to be approximately 45 minutes but for those without a reservation, they were told it could be up to 1.5 hours to be seated. The food was delicious, and the service was great...the only negative for us was that the DJ was set up in the middle of the restaurant and the volume was so loud that we could barely hear each other but overall, the vibe was fun and festive. We were told the DJ is there Thurs-Sun nights so we will plan to come again on their off nights.

Despite we had reservations, they placed us right next to the TACO buffet bar. It was TACO TUESDAY. We would have got all customers' butts in our faces as we were eating. No, thank you! They moved us to a crammed 3 persons table up against the wall. We were 3. Not so happy. Because we were tucked away against the wall, the service lacked. The food is always excellent, but pricey for Mexican food!

Terrible experience at El patron. The gym six adults into a booth barely big enough to hold four. Our server could barely hear us because the noise level is so loud in this restaurant and unfortunately she didn’t speak English very well and therefore mistakes were made on several of the orders. Probably fine if you’re going for drinks and appetizers but certainly not for a more formal meal

The restaurant had a fun atmosphere and would be nice for a night out with friends. The music is VERY loud, so be aware...it is not a place to have a conversation of any sort. The food was decent... the salsa and the chips were delicious. The corn tortillas with the fajitas were probably the worst I have ever tasted. Overall, I would go back for a margarita and chips/salsa and to enjoy music but not to dine.

We had dinner here while we were at Orlando for a conference. The restaurant is not very close to Hyatt’s Regency where our conference was and we got stuck in traffic. However the trip was worth it. The food was delicious; margaritas were amazing; service was outstanding and overall a very fun enjoyable dinner.
