A solid 3.5.The meat portions are generous. Unfortunately the lengua burrito I got didn't taste like lengua and was a bit dry. Texture-wise it was shredded meat rather than in chunks. They also ran out of aqua frescas and the fact that there were no avocados really threw us off. My friends ordered the birria nachos / ramen and enjoyed the meat but also felt the fresh ingredients were lacking. I wanted to like this place since the reviews were high and the service is great - it looks to be a family run business they are kind and very nice. But sadly I won't be back. I think the standard fresh ingredients like tomatoes and guacamole/avocado are a must.Note: There is limited seating inside but a large covered seating area.

Tacos Tuesday and the Chili Verde taco is amazing! I frequent here for breakfast burritos. Your basic egg, potatoes, beans and bacon but the salsa really makes this burrito amazing! They also have strawberry filled churros they my kiddos love! Great prices! Food comes quick! No indoor seating but outdoor does have heaters but still too cold to eat in Dec/Jan. Recommend to take it Togo

I have made this a frequent lunch spot at least once a week for the last month and a half. I was really nervous to try it to be completely honest because it is in Kingsburg and well it's a town not well known for great Mexican food. I work in the area and I have passed by it numerous times and the day I tried it, I was joyfully surprised by how good the food was. It's not the nicest place, nor the cleanest, but you are treated well and the portions are good for the price. A few days a week they offer taco specials. Their adovada is fire and they actually separate adovada and Al Pastor. A lot of places do not so this was a big deal for me. I love both but when establishments know the difference, I know it's legit Mexican food. El Patrón is closed on Monday's so I did not hit them up for lunch today. Oh did I mention they serve their food with radishes? I freakin love radishes and to me that's another sign of authenticity. Warm churros are offered as well as breakfast items. I have yet to try both but they look pretty good. The place is packed out during lunch hours so make sure to plan ahead.

Well hoping for another major score like the time we stumbled on Chalio's in Kettleman City, but only good not great. Only ordered two of the same item, beans rice and cheese burritos. Both kids said good, one rated 3 1/2 star and the other 2 1/2 stars but neither finished their burrito so as I finished them, I thought 3 star. Pretty standard fare. Way better than franchise food like Taco Bell or Del Taco, although similar to Chipotle although I personally would choose El Patron over Chipotle any day.
