" Very good experience! Restaurant had a warm and welcoming vibe as soon as we entered. Our server was very friendly and made great recommendations. I had the burrito and it was huge! The flavors were rich and authentic, just what I hoped for. I'd definitely come back to try more dishes and enjoy the atmosphere again. If you're in the mood for hearty and delicious Mexican food, look no further than El Patron! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to El Patron was an overall positive experience. The ambiance really captures the essence of a traditional Mexican eatery. I opted for the shrimp fajitas, which came sizzling and were accompanied by warm tortillas. My only downside was the service - our waiter seemed overwhelmed, which meant we waited longer than expected for our drinks. Still, the food was flavorful and filling, so I wouldn't hesitate to return. Just hoping for better service next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I discovered El Patron during a weekend trip, and it was a highlight of my journey. The margaritas were refreshing, and we couldn’t get enough of the street tacos. The staff was friendly, but the wait was longer than anticipated during peak hours. The price point was reasonable considering the generous servings. If you're traveling through Sylva, I highly recommend stopping by for some authentic Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! El Patron did not disappoint! Every dish we ordered was amazing and tasted like it came straight from a Mexican kitchen. We loved the queso dip, the flavors were rich and creamy. I had the chicken enchiladas, and they were loaded with tender chicken and smothered in delicious sauce. The service was friendly and attentive, which made our experience even better. I will definitely make this place a regular stop for when I crave Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decent place with decent food. I was looking for a Mexican restaurant that served authentic dishes, and while some items hit the mark, others fell flat. The service was average and could use some improvement in attentiveness. I had a tamale and it was okay, but I expected more flavors. The atmosphere was pleasant though, and I appreciate that they make an effort in terms of decor. I'd give it another chance, perhaps try different dishes on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Patron is definitely in the upper echelon of Mexican restaurants! Their tacos were amazing—flavorful meat, fresh toppings, and the house-made salsa was fantastic. The staff was attentive, despite how busy it was on that Saturday. The prices were reasonable for the portion sizes as well. I felt right at home, and I'll be recommending this spot to all my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, El Patron is the place to be! I loved how clean and vibrant the restaurant was. The chilaquiles I had were full of flavor, and the service was prompt and friendly. We did have to wait a little longer than I’d like for our table on a busy Friday, but it was worth the wait! Overall, great experience. I’ll be back with more friends next time. " (*Curated Review*)
