El Patron Mexican Restaurant

Stopped here on a whim while passing through. Glad we did. We asked the waiter what was good and he said everything is good. I ordered the Carnitas. Very tender, crisped just right. Refried beans, Spanish rice, guacamole, and pico were all ample portions and very good. The other meal we ordered was a shrimp chimichanga, which was also very good. This place deserves 4.5 stars and since I had to choose between four stars and five, I wasn't going to penalize them.

We stop into the El Patron restaurant every time we are visiting in Concordia. The food is delicious. The prices are reasonable and the service is excellent. The restaurant is quite open and comfortable to sit in. It is our favorite Mexican restaurant in the Kansas City area.

This place is amazing, I had the fajita el patron and it was fantastic, I am a truck drive and have eaten food all across the us and this is one of the best Mexican restaurants I have had so far.. the service is second to none ... if you are in the area this is a must try!!!!

It's "fine." Possibly the best Mexican food in the middle-of-nowhere Missouri. (Take that as a compliment or as an indictment; your choice.)I've been too long from my home in Mexico and I was craving something with a little flavor. Instead, what I got was a little disappointment. The food was bland and moderately overpriced. The chips and salsa weren't too bad.I ordered the Nachos Grande because it's an opportunity for the kitchen to showcase their queso, pollo, carne, and seasonings. What I got was a soggy, soupy, bland, goopy mess. Under a mountain of shredded lettuce was a pile of chips soggy from floating in a pond of "from-a-can" queso sauce. There was some chicken and some beef but if one were blindfolded one could not tell which was which from taste alone.Service was OK, if not a little slow. And I'm adding a star for having "authentic" Mexican food in the middle of nowhere (all of the waitstaff spoke Spanish, so, um, "authentic").But really this is a two-star experience in terms of flavor, texture, atmosphere, service, and overall value.

Excellent food: Fresh Rice; Fresh Guacamole; REAL Chicken NOT that processed CRAP most Mexican restaurants serve that is hard to chew is Not juicy & has NO Flavor!! I had the Enchiladas Verdes I'm 100% sure it Couldn't be Better!!

If you're a big fan of food in general this is THE place. I was with a trucker buddy of mine and man you can't explain the flavors. I've been to some famous restaurants like Jess and Jim's or Toot Toots. But this place smacks both of them on the back of the head and tells them to sit on down. Nice people with a perfect atmosphere. Right across the road from a TA truck stop can't beat it.

Nice place, clean and seating was comfy. Food was okay, if we were driving through again I wouldn't seek this place out to eat. Food was bland to me, got a combo plate with an enchilada, burrito and chile relleno. Enchilada I sent back because the cheese wasn't melted, burrito was ground beef and didn't taste like it was seasoned. Chile relleno was good and authentic. Salsa with the chips was very mild and could use more garlic salt. Waiter was nice and friendly, prompt and attentive. Overall it was okay...

Greatest authentic Mexican restaurant in this state was just stopping by and had a bite extremely good food and the people were very nice will go back again if I can

Passing through Concordia traveling from Colorado to Floria we stopped at El Patron and are happy we did. This family owned restaurant is delightful with a clean and authentic atmosphere, friendly and professional staff, tasty food, and generous and yummy margaritas. You won't be sorry if you make this stop traveling between KC and St Louis!!!!

The food was average... bland, decent portions, nothing special stood out. Service was great and the food came out quick. Went on a Sunday evening for dinner and there was only two tables sat in the entire restaurant. Some of the prices were shocking... $16 for a cheese dip, $11.50 for a bowl of soup, $19 for chicken or steak fajitas.
