" At first glance, El Patron might not seem like much since it’s located in a gas station. However, once you take a bite of their tacos, you will understand why it’s so loved! The flavors are authentic and the ingredients taste fresh. I especially love their salsa bar where you can customize your meal with various toppings. Both the tacos and the burgers are exceptional!
