El Patron Mexican Grill in Durham

Great Service and Food!!

Good food and prices.

Great food and speedy service. Clean and inviting. Will definitely be back.

Excellent food and friendly staff.

Great food + great service = great experience

Excellent food and generous size servings.

I’m very picky and it was very good high quality food. Guac was not included although I requested it and there was an unidentified oil all over the bag, very messy need to package to go orders better

The family wanted Mexican food after a long day at Duke hospital. The food and service were really good.

Nice place to eat on Tuesdays

Got the steak street tacos... really great! Chicken quesadilla was also good. The prices are reasonable and the service is quick. The closing time is wrong. They close at 10 pm, NOT 11!!!

Really good food and excellent service. The street tacos aren't listed on the menu. You have to ask for them and they are with it.

Good food and great service!

El Patron is one of our favorite Mexican spots in Durham. They do taco Tuesdays and always have drink specials. Their street tacos from the grill are always our go to!

Good food, fast service, friendly staff

Solid spot. Good food and nice people. Down to earth kind of place.

The staff were extremely nice and helpful, and the food exceeded my expectations! I will definitely be going back.

First off my waitress was excellent, my drink was never empty and that is very important to me. The food was okay. I'm picky when it comes to Mexican food and since moving to Durham I haven't found anything mind blowing. A little over priced for the quality in my opinion. I will probably not be returning to this place.

I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who's into authentic Mexican food. The Ambiance is wonderful and the wait staff is very helpful. Reasonably priced food with nice sized portions.

Pretty good veggie enchiladas Maria - 2 cheese and 2 potato, plus salad, with beans and rice on the side. I wanted more heat in the salsa for the salsa and chips appetizer, but I like mine on the extra hot side.

I would recommend this restaurant. I have only been there twice but the staff is nice and the atmosphere of the restaurant is pretty cool. I recommend the fish tacos and the Churros.

Very nice restaurant. Excellent service. Food was very good and large portions.

Good food and great service. And price was good too. Gorgeous waitress as well ;)

My go to Mexican place. Excellent Sincronizada, my lunch favorite. Service and food always very good!

My favorite in Durham!

Not as good as it once was but not sure why

Great service every time

The restaurant is closed from 22nd to 25th, but google stupid map doesn’t know smh

Enjoyed the #1lunch combo

This was our first visit and we really enjoyed our food. The service was super-fast and excellent and food tasted great.

Craftsman Direct Handyman, has a super great time here last week for lunch. Super clean, Super nice people, super great food!!!!!!!!!!

Their Mucho Burrito is awesome! Best extra hot sauce period.

Delicious food, great service, great atmosphere! We loved it!

Delicious food. Great menu. Warm atmosphere. Terrific service.

Fresh tasting delicious food and good service

Cleanliness: Tables were clean as was the entire dining room area. Bathroom had been neglected a bit and smelled heavily of urine. Food preparation was taking place without gloves on, after staff had scratched their faces or wiped sweat from their foreheads. I noticed this while looking through the kitchen doors while waiting to pay my check. Service: Was awesome. Our waitress was pregnant and still working very hard to give us drink and chip refills. She was great.Quality: Your typical Mexican restaurant dishes, like fajitas that come out on a sizzling griddle, chori-pollo, shrimp tacos, etc. Not entirely authentic, but good.Price: Wonderful prices and big portions! I would say this is the best part about this place. $0.99 cent Taco Tuesdays? Incredible offer and price! I will definitely make this my local go-to Mexican restaurant.

Went there for lunch on a Saturday. The restaurant, specifically the kitchen, we’re very clean. They used fresh lime juice for their margaritas, accommodated the extra requests for our dishes and served food right off the grill. And the service was awesome! Worth the visit.

Tucked out of the way, it's a great place for some tasty Mexican food.

Great food and great service! Will be back!

One of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Durham. Their margaritas are better than most.

Food was delicious. Margarita was perfect.

I love this place and eat here daily! Everyone is welcome here, the staff is friendly and almost everyone is bilingual! I recommend the street tacos for a quick filling meal! $0.99 tacos and the street tacos are only $1.50! Go check them out!!

I love this place awesome food and great service .

One start too many. We ordered lunch here for work, 39 and some change for 4 dishes. Half of our orders were missing the main ingredient and for 10 dollars a dish i would expect decent portions. We called and talked to them only to be promised a phone call back. 2 days later still no call. Last time we waste money in this establishment.

Small from the outside but very roomy inside with outside patio. Decor and lighting fit well. Had the Caldo de Pollo (chicken soup) which was delicious. Daily drink specials with plenty of parking.

Good food and good service!

Decent Mexican food, large portions, good street tacos and special on Tues. Good vegetarian dishes.

My favorite thing here is the street tacos. It's a sign on the window but it's not on the menu unless you ask. They're extremely cheep and very delicious. The service here is fantastic and you get complementary chips and salsa which is always nice

Well prepared Mexican food from a fairly standard menu. I really like their chili rellenos. Good prices on street tacos. Taco Tuesday is great. All staff there has been friendly and fun to interact with.

Got 4 small shrimp for a 22.00 meal. Had to get up and find the waitress. They nickle and dime you to death but for dollars

Awesome! Never expected such quality from this little gem located in run down strip mall. Fresh delicious authentic! Best in Durham. It's not hip to look at but so good. Margarita was also fresh and delicious. So glad the Chinese restaurant across the street, our usual Saturday go to was closed.
