El Patron mexican restaurant Review

Consistently excellent buffet. The carne asada beef and chicken fajita keep me coming back.

A restaurant that is a must if you go to Disney World. Even though it is outside of the resort, it is still a great place to eat. Atmosphere was wonderful and our service was great.

FANTASTIC! Margs were strong but delicious! Food wss incredibly yummy!! Chicken is wonderful

Waitress was not attentive at all. Waited forever to place drink order and it took her so long to get to us that we ordered our meals at the same time. Drive is arrived 30 seconds before the food. Food tased OK but not hot, luke warm. Was not asked if we would like another drink and she did not even ask how our meals were until we were almost done. Had to flag her down to get the bill. Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Authentic mex in classy modern decor, fair pricing.

Menu was a few pages on a clipboard and mostly Spanish. I ended up just ording 3 tacos and they were so covered in greese I ended up sending them back.

Great place, food was really good service was great. Excellent place for dinner.

Great tasting, authentic food. Great service. One of the cleanest restaurants I've been to. Anyone visiting Orlando looking for Mexican, this is the place to go.

Awesome place! Buffet was hot and fresh even at 10pm. Food quality and taste was great. Incredibly friendly staff that works hard. Great place to unwind and hangout after spending a day in the parks. Will come back every trip.

The food here was amazing. The atmosphere was very peaceful and relaxed and the service was outstanding. The server was very attentive and had a great attitude. It's almost hard to have service like that anymore. Now we did come at an off peak time but we sat in the bar section so our server was the bartender. There was decent happy hour specials that we had. I'll definitely be back for their buffet that is every day for lunch.

Nice place, coos a little bit cold, try hot mango cocktail

AWESOME MEXICAN RESTAURANT WITH AMAZING SELECTION OF FOOD!!!

Food was great , price is awesome BUT be aware !!!!! There is this old man server at the time of paying that puts the TIP amount he wants without letting you know and gives you the SIGN section right away so you won t notice . This is a cheap and low kind of way of getting his TIP of the day .

I ordered the $5.99 meals 2 taco combo Shredded beef andnsll they gave me was a container with 3 oz beef riceand beans and 3 tortillas. Zero taco toppings I expected cilantro onions and any salsa. They gave me zero. Very bad restaurant

The worst experience I've had ever and the food really does suck Look take it with a grain of salt because at the end of the day you guys won't listen but you'll know by tasting and experiencing

Delicious food, first class attention, a nice place to go as a couple, alone or with family I loved it

Excellent! I am Boricua and I recommend delicious Mexican food

I m gonna drive 2 hours to come back for another soft shell crab taco. Fantastic. Everything was so wonderful from the service to the margaritas to the food. 10/10. Even tho we had to have carry out for quarantine- it was really really exceptionally good Mexican food! Don t miss it!

One of the best mexican cuisine in town. The lunch buffet was delicious. So many options. Ready to go back.

El Patron Restaurante Mexicano has one of the best lunch buffets in the area. For less than the cost of a fajita at other Tex/Mex restaurants, you can eat all you want and get a variety. Located behind the new Wawa.

This place is the bomb. The best mexican place ive visited so far in florida. 5 stars. We had the buffet and it was excellent.

Great margarita, salsa needs some more heat, tacos were wonderfully delicious and filling and service was attentive and genuine

This Mexican restaurant is very cute inside, nicely decorated. Sat at the bar; bartender was good - made a Mojito with a special request perfectly. Ordered the Chile Relleno and added shrimp. It was a large portion and very yummy. Will return.

We stopped in for a drink while waiting for the Indian restaurant next door to open. The bartender was friendly, amiable, accommodating and whipped up a delicious frozen mojito in no time flat. Excellent happy hour prices. Will go back to try the food.

We ate here while visiting Sea World and had a great experience. The wait staff was excellent and so was all of the food. We had quesadillas, grande burrito, and kids enchilada meals. We also had some margaritas and mules and these were also delicious. Best Mexican food we've had in a long time!

All the food very rich, the Entomatadas, the Seafood Broth, The Sopes, the Shrimp Tacos !!
Good service, very clean
100% recommended

Great spot outside of the huge tourist crowds. About 100 for a dinner for 4 and a drink.

I don't write a ton of reviews, but this place 100% deserves it. Great chips & salsa/queso, gives way to excellent interpretations of classics, with tasty rice and beans, guac and pico on the side. Kids' smoothies were great too! Throw in great service and you're done looking. We eat Mexican all over when we travel, this might be the best we've had anywhere. Many thanks, we'll be back.

Delicious tacos......soft shell / shrimp with sweet corn. Have passed this restaurant many times....it is now a confirmed favourite.

Always great Mexican food when we visit Orlando at El Patron and friendly staff!

Very good to experience
Paying 2 dollars more wins a glass that shines

Very good meal helpful staff, authentic Mexican food.

Amazing food! Very friendly staff. The most authentic mexican place I have been to! Would definitely recommend this place.

First experience was amazing. Food was delicious and fresh, service was perfect! I love the way their table water is served too!
Second experience - Excellent blood orange margarita, excellent professional waitress, fast service, great Latin music, BUT ... this time the food was not good at all, very bland, didn t taste fresh, guacamole was brown and appeared to be a couple days old, few hours later we realized we had food poisoning. Sick for almost 3 days.

Very sad because this was supposed to be our new go to Mexican restaurant.

Service was excellent, food was good, reasonable price on house margaritas!

Worst experience, Guillermo came gave us our water and that was it, he didn t come by after at all. I had to stand there wait around for my check. My husband wanted to order a drink But he was nowhere to be found. So basically we saw him twice. That was it! He wasn t even sorry for making us wait. I will never be back here

Visited this restaurant while vacationing with 17 of our family members. Food was good but I believe the waitress was more focused on the tip she was about to receive from our large party. Any restaurant I ve been to gives you the bill to look at before paying. Apparently this restaurant doesn t. Our waitress came over with her electronic pad when everyone was done and gave them a glance of their total..most of our party not noticing that a 17% gratuity was included so they of course added an additional tip to this waitress. I myself (the last of our party as everyone headed out the door) asked for a print out because I thought our bill was much higher than it should be only to find the waitress added stuff to my bill that we did not order. I made her aware of it and she stated that somebody from that table must have ordered it. I told her that we did not order it and she wanted to know where the others went and refuse to take it off my bill. I believe we were taken advantage of. Everyone at that table paid the 17% gratuity plus an additional tip because no one was given a bill to look at. We weren t informed and were only showed a total. I feel this was sneaky and the waitress knew exactly what she was doing. Diners beware! Ask for a print out of your bill before you pay. Most places give you a bill. Lesson learned. We won t be back.

Average Americanized Mexican restaurant with a fancy name . Nothing special or spectacular. Restrooms are nicely decorated but Dirty. The Chimichanga burrito was good but not worth $15. . The Carnitas Tacos were not good. No Bueno. Found a big piece of fat in the tacos and undercooked. It s getting hard to find a restaurant that makes real Mexican street tacos nowadays. Will not Return..

Do not trust these reviews, the food here is awful. However the server was awfully nice. But I can t stress how bad the food was. Cold, bland meat. Taco bout a bad experience

Spectacular super recommended, the food is excellent, the atmosphere is cozy and the service very good

I love this hidden gem! Best buffet ever! I love the mini chimichangas on the buffet and they always have awesome dessert! I would go here every day if I could afford it!

I can't tell you how great it was! The food was delicious! The margarita was the best I've ever had and service was outstanding! We will definitely be back!

Had the lunch buffet. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because EVERYTHING has JALAPENOS in it & I am not supposed to eat them. I asked the waitress for something without jalapenos but she said they were already cooked that way. So, I just suffered thru it. The fajita steak was very good, some of the best I've had, but I would've liked it better without all the jalapenos. If you like them, you'll love it! If you don't, then go somewhere else that offers a "no jalapenos" menu as well. Nice restaurant atmosphere. The waiter that we did not have was also more attentive that the waitress that was assigned to our table.

Flavor!! It was the perfect lunch with my husband. Everything was presented well, large portions, and full of fresh flavor. Beautiful restaurant as well.

One time visit is enough for you to convince yourself that is not worth coming back. Not authentic food! Chicken tortilla soup was thick in chipotle. Enchiladas suizas were stale and not enough sauce very dry. Gratuity was automatically added at 18% w/out notice and the guy didn t even earn it. Definitely will not return even if it were free.

Everything was great, service, food and place, but for some reason it's a lot pricier than the other similar, authentic Mexican restaurants. The baby changing table was so high, thankfully I was with my best friend and she was able to help me change my baby since she's taller. I guess they made it for really tall people only.
