" Admittedly, I was skeptical since El Patron resides inside a gas station, but I was blown away by the delicious food! Their Philly Cheesesteak is surprisingly the best I’ve had outside Pennsylvania. The prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous. I also appreciated how clean the place was, especially for a gas station eatery. I highly recommend giving it a try; you won’t regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

Even my picky eater friends enjoyed their meals. " (*Curated Review*)

I usually find gas station food to be lackluster, but this was anything but. The staff were friendly and the place had a nice casual vibe. I ordered a taco plate and was thrilled with the portions.
