El Patron Taqueria

Whenever I meet someone from Mexico in the area and ask their recommendation for authentic tacos, I am directed here and for the years I've been patronizing, I've never been disappointed! I originally would come to satisfy my very rare cravings for tacos de asada, then tried their pupusas and fell even more in love! Another go-to has been their sopa de pollo when I'm feeling sick. I've tried other items here and there and have enjoyed each one. Although I usually stay away from chicken tacos because the meat tends to be dry and flavorless, I decided to give it a try here because I can no longer eat red meat and I was nice and satisfied! The meat was flavorful and the four tacos were the perfect serving. I usually order pick up (delivery on rare occasions) which is fast and I am always greeted with a smile. Depending on how I'm greeted, I either speak Spanish or Spanglish, but either way, they are always lovely. The inside in colorful, inviting, and self-seating, so you can also enjoy your food in the restaurant.

We ordered online- pick up to-go-Prices were reasonable- ordering online was easy- they offer a variety of meats, but I wish they were available on all dish options not just the tacos-we ordered:combo platter (for the kids)- taco, sope, gorditaleguna sopeschorreada tortachorizo burritopupusas-chicharron & cheesethe food was ok- I'm used to expecting 'greasy' when ordering authentic Mexican food- but a few of the dishes were OVERLY greasy- i.e the chorizo burrito was definitely underbalanced with chorizo & other ingredients- a few bites of the top & the rest of the burrito was a greasy messy ball of chorizo- our friend put a plate underneath the to-go wrap & it just had a pile of oily meat grease-the sopes were pretty good- well balanced meat & fresh ingredient toppings- but again the tortilla portion was very greasy-oilyour kids enjoyed the platter- but there were a lot of onions- overpowered the rest of the item- I know because I had to spend a large amount of time picking them off-the pupusas were the best part- well filled, well made, not greasy-they were easily hte best part- but again with so many other pupuserias nearby at cheaper prices- I wouldn't find myself craving these againI found them via an Instagram share- but with so many delicious taquerias in the area, I don't think their flavors hold up- & I wish they had more variety meat options available for the plates (like sopes) not just tacos-and too many dishes were underbalanced

The food was good here. I got a Birria pizza. It was about $30. It's was worth it. It can probably feed 3-4 people.

Everything. The food is god-awful. The drinks is god awful. Don't come to this place. It is God awful the worst food I have ever had.

Moving here from Texas - it's hard to find a good burrito but this place broke the curse. We love their breakfast burrito! The staff were also so easy to talk and really nice. The place is so clean.

I love this taqueria, I'm from California and I really enjoy the taco birria, I also get the Jamaica, here my husband really enjoy the carne burrito, and the horchata was delicious and the birria tacos are great , they also have a small bakery they have parking in front

Delicious Mexican food! Great prices. I always carry out so I can really speak to any atmosphere about the place. The service is super fast, but efficient. If I'm in the area, this would be my Mexican spot.

First timer . I always visit Laurel but never tried El Patron . It's located in a location. Where we don't see it much . It's kinda hidden ! But such an amazing place for Mexican food ... For the price , the quantity of food is great .. most of the dishes that I ordered was 12-14$ and the quantity was a lot . Loved the taste too. There are very few veggie options. Got veg quesadillas and it was ok, chicken dish was really good . They also give salad , rice and bean with chicken meal. Very good service . Lots of seats inside to dine in .. parking is good . They also have a bakery inside ... Overall a good experience ..

So glad we finally checked this place out by the house! The food was delicious, I probably could've ordered another order of tacos they were so good! The rice and beans were delicious too, we'll definitely be back!

Yes, it's worth 4-5 stars! Located in an old Pizza Hut, El Patrón offers excellent Carne Asada, Fajitas mixtas... But the chips and salsa stood out because the season to the chips very slightly with something that's quite tasty, and the salsa is much more authentic that I'm used to. It's much more of a purée than the chunky tomato salsa that I've kind of gotten used to. But the real treat for me is the high-quality flavor of the refried beans.- they are excellent. Back to the Carne Asada. Everybody seasons Fajitas and Carne Asada seasoning in a similar way, yet this is slightly different. I can't put my finger on what the difference is, but it tastes maybe a little darker, maybe a little smoky? I'm just not sure. But it's tastier, and the the meat that they're using is not gristly at all. It's still the traditional skirt steak, but it's flavorful. My only regret is I could have eaten more; the portions are just OK.By the way- the Tres Leches is excellent, too!
