El Patron Mexican - Clinton

This was my first visit, and I was truly impressed with the food. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the staff acted very professionally. Our server was warm and attentive to our needs. There is plenty of parking available, and the restaurant was clean.

We received menus that were smeared with salsa, and our server appeared indifferent. The salsa itself was quite thick, seeming to be a blend of preserved and fresh ingredients. I ordered the Tacos al Carbon, but the spring onion was so overpowering that it was hard to enjoy the dish. It was greasy, with a lack of flavor that left me feeling really disappointed. Although the service was quick, no one came by to check on us or offer refills.

We went back to this restaurant for the second time and it was NOT DISAPPOINT. We had wonderful luxurious and fresh Guacamole table side, Entree Taco and Enchilada for each of my partners 2 Salty Margarita. For dessert I had the flan she had the tres letche cake amazing! The prices were good and we had a lot of fun talking to our waiter, who is also from NYC is now an expat life in Clinton. Bueno! We're coming back!

Great Mexican place on Rt 31. Really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. You are definitely generous when it comes to the taco filling (see photo). The staff was very friendly and attentive. Very recommended!

Best Mexican Grill Restaurant this side of the border!!! We celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary and decided to eat at El Patron on Monday afternoon on September 27 2021. We had tableside Guacamole made for us by our cute waitress and had these dishes there were exquisitely prepared. Tasty and the plating was fantastic. The bartender prepared our margarita's in festive bowl like cups that were not that strong but suited the meals well. The desserts we took home were tres leches cake (to die for) and FLAN which was the best Flan we have ever eaten. We are planning to take out next time but until then we are eating left overs. We loved it. The wait staff is excellent and excited about working their jobs. The entire restaurant has a festive look and hand painted pictures on tables, backs of booths and chairs. We loved it! Felt like we were in Mexico. Very welcoming and friendly atmosphere.
