“ Excellent food and service in a very clean restaurant. I ordered one of the daily specials, which was a beef tip chimichanga with mole sauce. My friend ordered the other daily special, which was a shrimp chimichanga. Both were delicious. There were lots of large shrimp in her chimichanga. And mine was smothered in one of the most delicious mole sauces Ive ever had. ”
“ Amazing food. I had the ground beef chimichangas and they did NOT disappoint!!! Great atmosphere and friendly service in a comfortable dining room environment. Highly recommend stopping in. ”
“ As you can see, my phone indeed eat first! My father and I had a lunch date here to check out the new place and we loved it! Great atmosphere with authentic food and very affordable prices! The owners and staff were very accommodating and SUPER friendly. The portions were huge and I still cannot get over the cheese dip... SOOOO yummy! We will definitely be visiting again! ”
“ Wow! What a gem! After living in the area for almost 2 years, coming across this place is a dream. Super authentic delicious food, great portions, and the place is a beautiful welcoming space. Clearly the owners put effort into designing the details. ”
“ 1. Food was good and had a normal variety, but mind they dont have a GF menu yet. You can choose between salsa, guacamole or queso for your chips and starter, which was the first time Ive seen that at a Mexican place. 2. Nicely decorated and has seating imported from Mexico. 3. People were nice and attentive to needs. 4. Timing was good and we had enough time to converse. Just keep in mind that they still have the new restraint energy and they got plenty busy during prime dinner time this Saturday, but we got there at 530pm. 5. Parking was fine, but just keep theyre a main street location and youll have to seek street side parking. ”
“ Hidden gem!!! Absolutely sensational!! Great food. Wonderful service. Authentic atmosphere!! ”
“ Stellar food. The best Mexican place in the general Caz area. Everything is fresh, the owners are wonderful, and Ive never had anything I didnt love. Also the best margarita in Madison county! ”
“ El Patron was always solid but when I went in last week things had changed in a big way. Much more extensive menu and while their food has always been solid it is now off the charts. I admit to being a Mexican food snob growing up west of the Mississippi and have never been impressed with the options. For me this ranks close to Rio Tomatlan in Canadaigua.
