" If you are looking for true authentic Mexican food in Harrisburg, look no further than El Patron. The variety on the menu is impressive, and each dish I’ve tried so far has been delicious. The service is always prompt and welcoming. I loved the ambiance as well; it’s perfect for both casual dining and a cozy dinner.

" I've heard nothing but good things about El Patron, and I can see why! The birria tacos were incredibly delicious and packed with flavor. The service was friendly, and the staff were attentive. The atmosphere was casual but inviting. I did notice that they can get busy, and there was a bit of a wait, but if you're in the mood for authentic Mexican food, it's worth it. I’ll definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience at El Patron! The tacos I had were packed with flavor and so delicious. The staff were welcoming and quick to assist, but I did notice it was quite busy which made service a tad slow. I’d still highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great Mexican meal!

" El Patron serves incredible authentic Mexican food. They have a great selection of tacos, and I was blown away by how delicious they were! Everything tasted fresh and homemade. The workers are friendly too, but it did take a little longer than I expected for the food to arrive. But I was just happy to be there. I’ll surely come back again for the birria!

" El Patron quickly became my go-to place for Mexican food after my first visit. The carne asada was perfectly cooked, and the flavors were on point. I appreciate that they provide complimentary chips while you wait. It’s a casual spot that makes you feel at home. They also have a great drink selection. The only critique I might add is that they could use a little music to brighten the atmosphere. Otherwise, I loved it! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Patron has stolen my heart with its authentic cuisine! Their tacos were unique and absolutely delightful. It's an unpretentious spot, but with great food and superb service. The ambiance is inviting and perfect for sharing with friends. I can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)
