“ Excellent food! First time here today and will definitely come back! Service was great, prices are good and the taste is spot on! Besnd and rice are made just right. The chips and salsa are great! That salsa they give you with chips is spicy and good! It ain't that "run of the mill" salsa you get at most restaurants! Cant wait to come back! Update: Went back about 3 more times and NEVER disappointed us! ”
“ Based on the good reviews, We decided to give El Patron a try and had a delicious lunch! A small family run restaurant in a tiny strip mall off the beaten path you probably wouldn’t stop at unless you know better. Last weekend we had a family party of 20 in Wrightwood and ordered off the catering menu. Got the Chili Verde, Pollo Fajitas, beans and rice. Everyone thought is was delicious! Great food,service and value for the portion sizes!! ”
