El Patrón Mexican Grill

I usually stop in on the monthly Salsa Night and always have a great time. The food is decent. I tried the skinny margarita and like it more than the flavored margaritas. It tastes more authentic in my opinion . The servers are usually Pretty attentive as well. The restaurant is pretty large and restrooms are clean. I'd recommend it for a fun night in Slidell

Food, Service, Ambiance was all very good. We lucked into this place when spending the night while driving from Dallas to Ft. Lauderdale and really enjoyed it. Exceeded our expectations.

Food was decent. I had the street tacos with pastor and Barbacoa- I've had better. Drinks were good as well. I will go again

I came on a Friday evening to have dinner with coworkers. The live band was certainly a statement. The food was good, the drink refills and chip supply was quick and good. Everything seemed to be clean. The restrooms were fully stocked and clean. Lots of parking.

We have been here twice and have had good experiences both times. Not outstanding, but solid. Can't give them 3.5 stars so I'm rounding up. The chips were a little stale, but the salsa was fantastic. The menu is lengthy. They have a number of unique dishes (check out the seafood section) that many Mexican restaurants don't, some creative spins on the basic stuff. I had a Pina Rellena, which was a hollowed out pineapple which was stuffed with shrimp, crab, scallops, and octopus (!!) with mushrooms and cheese then baked. It's like a big pineapple bowl filled with hot cheesy seafood. Wonderful! My wife had the Tacos de Rey and enjoyed them.One thing to note, love it or hate it, they have live music on Friday and Saturday nights and the whole center of the restaurant has the tables pushed back to make a dance floor. People were out there line dancing the first time we were there. Just a couple folks the second time (we were eating early dinner). I don't mind live music, but both bands were playing party time, wedding reception, three-chord, dance music!! When I go to a Mexican restaurant I expect to hear mariachi music, not Jimmy Buffett. I don't mind the music, but it makes for a weird scene. Of course since the music is live it is also LOUD. The band tonight acknowledged the volume level and they were obviously trying not to blow people out of the room, but it was still too loud for us to carry on a conversation at our table.Hence the rating. Good food, loud music, weird vibe. No reason not to go, but be prepared. Your results may vary

Don't know why all the hate on here about this place. My coworker and I came to find some Mexican food. Salsa is like Chilis salsa. The cheese dip wasn't velveeta and had decent flavor. I ordered the fajitas and they had a good flavor, co worker had the Baja tacos and enjoyed. I knew what we were getting into just by the decor. Service was on point and we were very satisfied. Authentic no but possible in Louisiana haha no!

If you haven't tried this place yet you are missing out. They have had some issues in the past with slow service, but I think that has been resolved. They have a really great lunch menu. The Hawaiian margarita is soooo flippin good! I will be craving them forever! Great happy hour! Delicious food. Everything was great. Closest thing to real Texmex in the dell.

The food was good being that my woman loves Mexican food. I also like the drinks & customers service was great.

Nothing good to say about this place. Chips were stale and seemed to be recycled from other tables, waiter didn't place the correct order and was nearly invisible during the visit, food was dry/inedible, cost was astronomical. Worse than a typical chain restaurant. Avoid at all cost!

First time here, party of six on a Saturday evening. The restaurant looks great. We waited just inside for a couple of minutes. When the manager saw us waiting he came over and seated us. The service was slow overall. The servers were inattentive. The food was also slow coming out but was delicious. With some staff training this restaurant could be fabulous.
