Worst Mexican food I've ever had. Granted, I'm Mexican. I grew up in San Diego, very close to the Mexican border, and dined in Mexico often. I also lived in New Mexico for awhile (their style is very different from California). And now I live in LA (I'm not fond of the Mexican food here that much either -- as it varies greatly from San Diego). Point being, I know my expectations of Mexican food are pretty high. Honestly, I didn't even want to eat Mexican food in Indiana, because I figured I would be disappointed. But, while here for 5 days on business, my coworkers insisted. I should have put my food down. I ordered the tamale, because it's pretty basic -- how do you screw up a tamale!? But it was completely bland and flavorless. The beans and rice tasted more like water than anything else. I would not recommend this place if you have any idea what real Mexican food should actually taste like, because this isn't it!

It is fast and friendly, the food is piping hot and prompt (and good, or at least the fish and vegetables is), and the prices are pretty much what one expects from such a place. It is not a wasted visit. It's also clean.

Do yourself a favor, eat here! The food is fantastic, the service is amazing, their portions are generous, and the price is very, very reasonable. We love authentic Mexican cuisine and they never fail to deliver. The Chile Colorado, Enchiladas Verdes, Tamales, Burritos, as well as other specials are amazing. The salsas or queso are also delicious with the fresh tortilla chips. On top of all this the staff is amazing. The service is fast, fun, and engaging. We dine out a lot and quite frankly have pretty high standards for restaurants, El Patron definitely deserves five stars. Enjoy!

Have eaten here just once, but we thought the food was good. As was service. It was a Monday night, no crowd to speak of. The way the restaurant is laid out, it would be VERY noisy if there was a crowd.I had 2 soft tacos with ground beef. They were delicious and very inexpensive at $1.75 each. I compared the taste to the same at the hugely popular Los Bravos (ground beef is bland).Ken had the Indiana Burrito with a combination of steak and chicken. He went on and on about how good it was. He said the meat & chicken were seasoned well and there was plenty of both. Very fresh and quite large ($9.75).The only thing we didn't care for was the salsa as it was on the runny side and lacking in flavor. Damn near tomato juice. Chips were warm and fresh and complimentary. The menu is pretty extensive and prices are very reasonable. Great dessert options too!

I have never had a bad meal here! It's funny when some people recommend what they think is "Mexican food" and then you try it and are very disappoint...but this IS authentic and very, very tasty! You have to try the El Pastor and the Tacos De Esada...totally worth a trip! The manager and staff and very friendly and after only a few visits they knew us and knew what we liked from our previous visits. Go and taste REAL Mexican food, you won't regret it!!

Largely underwhelmed.I have been here quite a few times (20+ visits), but I felt that today was worth writing a review.As we arrived, a girl who could not be over the age of 10 was our waitress. When I ordered a side of beans, as she brought them to us, she accidentally had put a large amount of her hand in the side of my food.Fully aware of the issue, she did not say nor do anything about the sanitary issue.It also looked like she was the waitress for everyone else in the establishment. I felt that this was extremely unprofessional.Although the food was decent, the price and service are definitely not worth the visit.I will try my best to never come again.

Accuracy of providing complete and correct order did not occur. Desire to correct mistakes definitely was lacking. Severel minutes on a spiraling discussion with multiple employees requesting an "exchange" of the incomplete meal, requesting to drive back to return for a replacement of correct and complete "Fresh" meal, I still received push back. Disconnected call and counting as a waste or loss. No longer as good as it once was.

First time her, grabbed some food before a movie. Chips and salsa was just avarage if not below. Very cold salsa with zero spice. Hot sauce they brought out to supplement it was not even remotely spicy. I got the Paella ($12). Is says "Aztec Spice Blend", whatever that may mean. Regardless it was bland. Portion size was much smaller then the photo advertised. I can't recommend this restaurant based off of my visit.
