      We were passing thru town on our way to TN and had been craving Mexican food. The guy working at the Cove Campground recommended this place. Really good food and great service. The inside of the restaurant is so beautiful. We ordered some beers and cheese dip with our meals. Everything was on point and the salsa was really really good. My only complaint is when you are leaving you cannot see out of the door, instead it's like a mirror. I nearly hit a child in the head with the door who was attempting to come in as I was going out. I simply couldn't see her.

      Been meaning to try this place for awhile and just kind of keep forgetting. They are located in a strip mall type location so it doesn't stand out as anything fancy from the outside. But, once you get inside the décor is as traditional Mexican restaurant as you'll ever find!

      Took a minute to get seated, but literally a second to get a drink order and have chips/salsa/drink back to the table and checking to see if I knew what I wanted. Went with the lunch portion Steak Fajita ..... comes with guac salad (no thank you - hold this please) rice and beans (no beans all rice for me). Standard flour tortillas or you can request corn tortillas. Great seasoning on the steak and everything was really good. The salsa, at first, was just ok...but after a few extra chip dips it really grew on me and had just the right hint of heat.

      Overall, really happy with my experience with both food and service and wouldn't hesitate to come back and try out some other stuff.

      This place is legit y'all. Great food (I got the patron steak), strawberry margarita.

      On our way back from Gulf Shores, AL we stopped here to eat dinner with the family.

      The service was top notch and so was the price tag. Definitely recommend for a bite to eat.

      So fake, not even good Mexican food. Went today to get some lunch and checked the menu, saw Carnitas for a meat, no where on the menu. So I love other foods and ordered 4 chili relleno's to go. Got my order and left, got to my hotel room and opened my lunch to have, 4 stuffed Bell Pepper bottoms with ground beef and some cheese, Now that sucked bad. Don't waste your time, it's an insult to Mexican food, What a waste, never again am I eating there....

      This is the best Mexican Restaurant around. My family and I are new to the area and of the 4 times we have eaten here, every time it's been delicious, whether it's dining in or take out, always super delicious. I've had the carnitas tacos, so yummy and very flavorful as well as the Texas Chimichanga which was also flavorful and yummy. My husband has had multiple things from here, shrimp tacos(could stand to be a bigger portion of shrimp), steak tacos, and the burrito Texano. He has enjoyed all of the dishes and really loves the cheese dip. It's just like the place we used to go to once a week in Illinois that was down the street from our house. We've had the same waiter two out of the three times we've eaten in and they both were great. They always make sure you get your food your way, especially if you ask for something to be left out of your meal. I'd rather drive the extra 8 minutes it takes me to get here and enjoy every single thing I order, than the 2-3 minutes it takes to get to the closer Mexican Restaurant basically next to our house. El Patron blows that Restaurant our of the water, I don't even know how it has a second location. Forever an El Patron customer. If you're not, definitely give them a try.
