El Patron Mexican Restaurant in Pike County

Horrible. Staff are beyond rude. Over priced food for the worst Mexican food I have ever had. Will never ever be going back. Guacamole was 90% tomatoes 🍅 and onion🧅 …. Should have just saved money and ordered salsa. Restaurant said it’s because they don’t make anything fresh ! Will never be giving my money to this place ever again. Do. Not. Recommend! Lesson learned 🤦🏼‍♀️

Great service, fajitas, and sangria. For the price you cant go wrong.

This has become my favorite restaurant!! I get the same dinner every time because I love it so much, and you can’t beat their frozen margaritas 😋The wait staff Jose, Elmer, Miguel, Sergio, is the BEST!

Large menu with lots of choices. Friendly and efficient staff. Accomodating to our large party. No kids menu.Bathrooms are in need if repair.

Excellent authentic Mexican food. Outstanding service. Worth the drive from Sussex County. New favorite spot. House salsa and sauces are worth buying bottles of!

Great food. Ordered the fish tacos. They were delicious

Never had a bad meal here & weve visited many many times over the last five years. El Patron has both dine-in and take out options. Costs are $10-$20/person w/o alcohol. Beer, wine & distilled spirits & drinks are available.

I love el patron. The food is great. the service is friendly and extremely professional. The tortilla soup is absolutely insane. Its the best thing on the menu. They also make their own habanero salsa which is nice. It has a unique dark flavor. Their bar makes excellent drinks as well. Its honest Mexican food made with love. Ill keep going anytime Im in the area.

Great spot for lunch and dinner or perhaps just drinks. The atmosphere here is refreshing, upbeat, friendly and professional. We enjoyed the pollo Jalisco, veggie fajitas, bistec ranchero to name a few dishes. Food was always delicious and fresh. The margaritas are good to! Definitely recommend El Patron for lunches, dinners or drinks. The atmosphere and service make this a great place to be. Thank you!!

Found this place by accident and stopped in. Great food, Great margaritas and awesome service. Were not snobs but we like our food fresh and hot and this place has that and more. Excellent fajitas and fantastic margaritas. Go with the Cadillac! Weve been back a couple times and still 10/10!

Everything was top notch! Even the salsa was fresh and amazing. We had the enchiladas with mole and they allowed us to sub vegetables for the meat! Dont know what they did to the sour cream but it was super tasty.Will drive a long way to return when in the neighborhood...

The restaurant was very clean and had a nice relaxing atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and kind. Will definitely go back and recommend others to try it out.

we really enjoyed our meal there was a mix up with the check and our meal we ordered chicken but got shrimp but they charged for the chicken but we were very happy with everything Im sorry I didnt take a photo

Delicious food and very attentive!!

Delicious. Everytime, perfection. Great food!If you come here and dont order the grade margarita, shrimp cocktail and the cochinita pibil, you are not living your best life. THE BEST I HAVE EVER EATEN!

Everything was great. We order some bistec tacos, skirt stake, la parrillada el Patrin, michelada, churros, horchata water, and a Jalisco margarita. The tacos, parrillada and stake came with rice and beans Mexican style. If we are in the area will make a stop there again. Definitely recommend it👍💯

Had a great time at this restaurant. The staff was super friendly, the food was fantastic, and my favorite part of the whole experience were the drinkers. The bartender really knows how to make quality drinks! Highly recommend this place!

Nice portions. Good drinks. Veggie fajitas were good. Should add some other veggies though. It was mostly peppers and onions, a little zucchini amd a little spinach

Amazing fresh food. Great prices. We used to live in the area and it was one of our favorite places for dinner. We recently were in the area to visit family and made a point to eat here. It didn’t disappoint. Highlights were the house made salsa and chips, the veggie fajitas and save room for dessert because the churros are an experience you shouldn’t miss.

I always wanted to taste Cochinilla Pibil. It was delicious! One of the best Mexican food restaurants. I wish " El Patron" restaurant in NYC.

Visiting with my family while travelling through the area. Food was great albeit a bit pricey. Atmosphere was good and they even had adequate parking for our RV. Would definitely return if in the area.

One of my local favorites to pop in for a quick bite. The service is great and the food is fresh. Must try the guac!

The service was great, servers are very attentiveband polite. The food was amazing. The prices are fair too. I would definitely come back again

Enjoyed this restaurant! Lots of friendly staff, outdoor seating is available and the food was tasty. My son and I were happy. He had the chicken quesadilla which he loved and I had the shrimp enchiladas which were also excellent and even tasted good the next day as leftovers!

This is what Mexican food should taste like ! Literally everything I ordered was delicious even down to the nachos and salsa.Portions are very generous. Customer service is excellent and the Churros were marvelous. Being from NYC its rare to find good food outside of my city but this place made me feel at home again.10/10 recommended

I ordered the steak quesadilla, it was alright the guacamole didn’t taste like much and the salsa tasted like marinara sauce. I ordered a horchata with my food and it was not creamy at all it tasted like sugar and cinnamon water and it wasn’t white. It honestly wasn’t bad and I’d order again from the restaurant but probably would have to try something different

Best Mexican in the Milford area! The hot sauce is bomb. 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

The food was excellent! They also give you a lot for your money! If you leave there hungry...its your fault! The staff was very helpful and attentive! I havent had good service like that in....a very long time..I highly recommend you stopping in checking it out...its very good!

Stopped, by chance, as we passed by on a motorcycle cruise. (We turned around after passing it!Sat out on the patio with view of a sweet little pond with the sun reflecting on the water. Cool vibe and fun decor inside and outside too! Looks like a great place to come with a group for a party. <No reservations, as per website> Complimentary chips and (what I assume could only be homemadesalsa, with fresh cilantro and chopped onion. I ordered the shrimp empinadas with an extra side of guacamole. (The dish came with a small side of guacamole and sour cream. Hubby had steak burritos. Everything was totally delicious! My lunch of shrimp empinadas had 3!!! empinadas, plus rice and refried beans. I was only hungry enough to eat one empinada and had enough food left over to have for two more meals. Hubby could only finish half of his food, and brought the other half home. The yummy sauces, salsa, and the grilling of the proteins before being incorporated into the dishes really set it apart! Seemed to be a family run business and the care and love showed in the freshness of ingredients and attention to flavor profile and complimentary spice level. 😋 The service was terrific and friendly, and the entrées came out to the table piping hot. When I went inside to use the rest room, I even heard a guy inside (who I think was the ownersinging merrily along with the recorded music. There were two parties, one outside and one inside when we arrived, yet we were attended to as if we were the only customers in the restaurant. Highly recommended!!

After tubing, we decided to go here and we had a very nice time. I’m not sure how authentic the tacos were, but they were very enjoyable. Most of my friends who are girls, couldn’t finish it all and took some home for tomorrow. I had three steak tacos and I have no complaints. Also the waiter was very friendly and was on top of things.

This place is great. The food is delicious, service is good, too many good choices to only go once. The guacamole was very good but was a smaller serving than expected. Cant wait to go back to try more. Fried ice cream is also one of my favorites and they do it well.

Very good. Big portion and very good service.Atmosphere pleasant as well

Wow Sat at the bar waiting for friends and the regulars started chatting with us. Service was awesome and food awesome. Cant wait to go back . Will take photos next time but really enjoyable experience.

Good food... delicious salsa, enchiladas and veggie burritos friendly staff

Great food and service! This is one of my top places to eat Mexican food.

Best Mexican restaurant I have found in the area. The staff was friendly and responsive. The food was very tasty and the margaritas werent bad.Edit: Had to come back and give this place one more star. The service here has been too notch on both my visits. The staff is very attentive and polite. This restaurant is quickly becoming a favorite..

I’ve eaten at my share of Mexican restaurants, and I can confidently say those were the BEST tacos I’ve ever had. Every ingredient was FRESH, and they were generous with the beef.Everything else was A+: the service (Jose A. clearly genuinely loves what he does and cares for his customers), the atmosphere, and the prices. Even the parking lot was nice! I know that’s a weird thing to say, but it was spotless. =D

Good bar and ambience. Dark wood makes it cozy and intimate. I had tasty calamari and a decent glass of wine and my friend enjoyed margaritas and tacos.Id definitely return and try other dishes from the large menu.

My wife and I found this place by random. It is the best Mexican food we have experienced in the 3 years living in the area. This place was the best. Great quality and very fresh!!! We will be bringing family here when they visit!! Everything tasted amazing and full of flavor.

Ordered lunch with my boyfriend. Service was very fast and friendly. The steak didn’t have much flavor but wasn’t dry, rice and beans were okay. The tortilla chips were not the best. Would’ve given three stars if it wasn’t for the churros. We were both blown away by how good the churros were. Would recommend if you’re passing by and want something to fill you up.

We always eat here when we spend the summer. Since Covid, we eat outside which is delightful but wish they still had the tent. Guacamole is excellent (I completely do not understand the negative review from someone earlier), and the food is always very flavorful. Our favorite dishes since we don’t eat meat or the shrimp tacos, shrimp quesadillas, veggie burrito, ceviche, and our MOST favorite the Mariscada Veracruzana Which is an absolutely delicious combination of shrimp, scallops, lobster tails, mussels prepared in a delicious red sauce with a great combination of caramelized onions,cilantro served with yellow rice. The staff is also always accommodating and very pleasant and efficient, and the margaritas and sangria are both great!

Ive always enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and the staff. However, the customer service took a huge dive off of a cliff when I found a fly inside of my margarita. I received no apology. They did not offer to pay for my meal or even the margarita. I was however questioned by multiple members of the staff as to how the fly got into my margarita.

This place exceeded my expectations. Came here after a hike with kids and truly enjoyed everything we ordered. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Kids shared a plate of beef tacos and loved it. I definitely recommend ceviche which was yummy and super fresh and tres leches for desert was a perfect finish!!!

I highly recommend. We had a very late lunch there this past Saturday and I havent stopped thinking about my meal since. I ordered the Mariscada Veracruzana which is the seafood dish in the photo and my husband ordered the Choose your Combo option and chose a fish taco, a beef enchilada and a chicken chimichanga. We were both very happy with what we had. Our server (wish I could remember his namewas so friendly. He took a while between visits so we did not feel rushed at all and the atmosphere was relaxed and exactly what we were looking for to relax and enjoy this delicious meal! This place is well worth the cost!

Awesome food good service. Im in the hospitality business and my group of 15 were very pleased. Thanks Cindy for perfect service.

Well, based on the pictures from reviews, i ordered Steak Fajita to go. I had never been eaten at the restaurant itself but what came to my house was a totally different thing from the picture posted from someone that ate at the restaurant. The steak taste and look more like stew meat than a grilled steak, it is definitely not a soft steak so i guess that is why they cook it as stew or so, in a soup bow like (which i was not expecting at all). The side of rice and beans are just weird looking. The beans are mashed and it tastes awkward. The rice is regular. The guacamole has no much taste. Overall, it is a really plain taste food weird dull looking if you have a high level palate. I would not order this plate again and so my entire house agreed on so too, which just reinforces all i was thinking quietly while i had the first bites.

9/5/20. Dine inside and outside is available. Really nice place. They were busy but working hard to accomodate fast. Food was delicious and big portions.Two things which I would not take any stars off. My appetizer came along with my dinner actually moments later. So there was no point for appetizer at that point.Second to pay cash if you would like to avoid a 4% charge on all electronic card transactions.But I would definetly recommend this place.

Ive never had a bad meal from here. Got take out twice and ate outside the other night. Fast and friendly staff. Food is delicious.

Wow! Texans only know authentic Mexican, so we always do our research before hand. This was a local favorite, so we were curious if it was as good as we were reading. A+ without doubt. The art, the overall experience felt like the entire staff worked as a team vs individuals and made a busy afternoon feel like we were the only customers present. Chips and salsa "nailed it"

Great atmosphere, Seating was comfortable, food was delicious. Some prices were a bit a high for the quantity served, but the quality and taste of the food offset the price. Compared to other Mexican restaurants near here this is one of the best. Service was on point.
