Absolutely fantastic authentic Mexican food ! We first visited last year while in the area and were excited to find the restaurant open when we returned. The tacos and bowls and burritos and guacamole are all fantastic. Perfect seasoning, fresh ingredients and made fresh. This trip we had the pleasure of meeting the owner and she was so wonderful. We can't wait to return. 5 ⭐⭐⭐

Overall it was very good. Food was filling and came out in a timely manner. It's on the pricey side for burritos but they were big and worth it.

Waitresses were spectacular . Always smiling and so very helpful. The drinks were strong and the food was delicious. They had some "exotic" choices on the menu and I love that. We tried the beef tounge tacos and they are sooooo good. It's defiantly a place you have to try !!

The food is out of this world, and the portions are genuinely mind blowing. My sons kids meal could have fed several children. Every ingredient in was flavorful and well done. Rice to meats to guacamole - every single thing tasted incredible. We also got guacamole and chips, and the chips were warm and freshly fried. Usually, the chips at a restaurant aren't even worth commenting on, but these were delicious even on their own. The attention to detail and top of the line ingredients were apparent in everything we ate today.

You gotta come here! Very delicious place to eat. We've eaten here 3x, and each has been a good experience. The price point is very reasonable for the portion sizes. I've eaten at many Mexican restaurants across different states, and El Gran Patron has easily become one of (if not THE) BEST Mexican restaurants in my personal opinion. Ever. From the menu, we've tried all the tacos, the guac, the enchilada mojada, and the torta asada -- all incredible! (Was chowing down when I realized I should've taken pics lol). This place is both authentic and delicious, and I hope they stick around for a long time.
