" El Patron is a delightful place for anyone who loves authentic Mexican food. The quality is top-notch, with fresh ingredients and beautifully executed dishes. However, my experience was slightly marred by a long wait before being seated. Once inside, the atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the food made the wait worth it. I had the enchiladas verdes, and they were superb! Definitely worth returning for. " (*Curated Review*)
