What a hopping place on a Wednesday night!
Service was awesome and fast. The food was amazing! I had a steak bowl and the patron dip as an appetizer. Large portions ! They have an outside patio, it was a little too warm to sit outside.

Food was excellent, fajitas with seafood, WOW. Hot salsa was great, you could taste flavor before heat hit. Needed more drinks for whole table thus the 3. Have been and will be back.

Best Mexican dinner I've had in a long time well worth the 40 minute drive and will be back

Great spinach cheese dip.The best Pico de Gallo.

Delicious food! My favorite is their fajitas. Very generous portions. Give them a try. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Loved the atmosphere. Food was delicious and the waitstaff was very attentive and welcoming!

I have to leave a review to make sure I can find this gem again next time I am heading down 85. Great menu and food!

The food was fresh and the presentation of the food was awesome!!! We had a party of 5 and it was affordable & good eating

Great food drinks and service

First time ar El Patron, and I created my own burrito bowl. It was excellent and highly recommend. The staff was helpful and very friendly too!

Great place to eat and have fun absolutely enjoyed my experience.

Food is terrific!
atmosphere amazing !
service spectacular!

Food was very good! My Cheerwine Margarita was unique and fantastic! Great atmosphere and service!!!

This is our favorite place to go in Salisbury. The staff is polite and professional. Drinks are always good and food never disappoints. If you are looking for a Mexican restaurant with some good food, I recommend this location.

The food here is extra special. We had a wonderful meal here! All around good experience.

(Translated by Google) The food was very tasty but the service seemed very bad. I ordered a coffee and the coffee came cold. The boy who served me was eating at the bar and didn't pay attention. I needed more coffee and as I repeat, if the coffee is cold, make another one so the customer is happy. The food was 10/10 but the service was bad. Aside from that, the table moved a lot. You have to take care of those details.

La comida muy rica pero el servicio me pareci muy mal pido un caf y el caf viene fro el muchacho que me atendi estaba comiendo en la barra y no prest atencin que necesitaba ms caf y como repito si el caf est fro has otro para que el cliente est contento la comida 10/10 pero el servicio mal aparte la mesa se mova mucho hay que cuidar esos detalles

The food, service and atmosphere were all great!

Food was delicious. Had chicken quesadillas and fajitas.

Food is good, service is fast. Staff could be more friendly.

One of my fave go-to restaurants.

The food was good but the service was very weak. Maybe because they had it in mind I don't tip will. I still left a $10 but the server could've gotten a $20 not very attentive and very little interaction with us. Maybe I wasn't the right color.

The food was fantastic, and the wait staff were happy and attentive. I have no complaints and will be returning when I am in the area.

First time eating there and the food was awesome. Service was great. They even made a special stuffed poblano for my husband. He loved it. Highly recommend.

Excellent food and services, beef tacos were terrific . I'd recommend everyone to give it a go.

Very good Mexican food here. Sauces and sides were some of the best we've ever had. I don't think you will be disappointed here.

Great food, (especially the Polo Oaxaca) great atmosphere, great drinks,(thanks George) and good service. Definitely recommend.

First time going here. When I say 10/10 the best. Food so authentic and delicious they even give you your moneys worth frfr. Our server was Cynthia shes madd cool and her customer service was on point. When yall want some drinks get a medium size or pitcher. The el patron platter definitely worth it

Awesome place! Huge plates of food, huge margaritas , great service, only positive things to say about this place. If you get a chance, definitely go there, you won't be disappointed.

The food was excellent. I really enjoyed it and will be back.

Great service and food!

Dinner is great quality but the wait times are long and could have more staff.

Great birthday celebration with my son and his friends! Delicious as always.

By far the best Mexican restaurant I've visited!!

The food was really good and server was great with the menu

Some of the best Mexican food Ive had!

This was my first time eating here. The waiter was very friendly. Quick service! My plate was served up with a large portion of delicious food. I ordered a fajita. I was given the choice of two sides. I enjoyed ordering fresh vegetables as one of the sides! This place is a hidden gem!
Another good thing is that there is an outdoor eating area.

Delicious food and great service!

Great place for fajitas, always really good

service was fast and friendly
the chips were fresh and the salsa was tasty with a little heat
had the lunch huevos ranchero with refried beans and guacamole sides
the ranchero sauce had diced tomatoes, onions and cilantro and was excellent.
the refried beans were creamy and the guacamole was great
ordered tea and it was nice and sweet without being like syrup
First time there but will definitely return

Great food good service

Best Mexican restaurant ever

A pleasant surprise. We tend to gravitate to stand-alone establishments over store-front venues, but decided to give this a rry. Their menu is quite extensive, a lot of dishes you don't generally find in a beans & rice joint. We got the veggie fajitas (zucchini & yellow squash, red & green peppers, spinach & red onion) with half a dozen shrimp add-on and it was excellent. The veggies were fresh, nicely seasoned, sauteed & hot on the skillet.
The service was fast & friendly, but the atmosphere was a bit lacking. It was a Friday night and they packed. There was waiting for groups, but they seated the two of us right away. It was a bit noisey for us and the choice of music was horrific (some weird techno stuff I've never heard of, not mexican mood music ;-). We would probably go back...for the food anyway.

A huge shout out to El Patron and Jorge Morales and the entire staff of El Patron for accommodating a party of 32 with the BEST service! The food and drinks were delicious and everyone left happy! Do not let the appearance of the strip center put you off - eat here and have a great experience!!!!

Great food service awesome !!!

Good Mexican food. Check them out.

Consistently fantastic. Food is always great and the vibe is relaxing. Would definitely recommend.

Overall our experience here was amazing! We got the pineapple fajitas which were very flavorful, it was a really nice change up from regular fajitas. We also got the burrito Fundio which was SO delicious! The cheese they top it with was so good, and the fried tortilla was great as well. The street corn was so delicious too, and one of our favorite parts of the meal. Definitely some of the BEST Mexican food we have EVER tried.

I ate there while passing through town the chimichanga had good flavor. The staff was friendly and accommodating. They even turned the music down when I asked for a quieter area.

Food is excellent! I'm always excited to find a place that serves plantains. Will definitely be returning. Service was good but not great; it was also swamped.

I absolutely love this place. I've been eating here for 6 years and have never been disappointed. Wonderful people and food.

I very much enjoyed this place! I had the Patrn burrito with chicken, rice and refried beans. The rice was a bit on the salty side for my taste but the burrito itself was awesome!

Graduation celebration

Cynthia was a great server! The food was very tasty. CheerwineTacos & El Pastor Burrito.
Oh and the Cheerwine Margarita
We'll definitely be back!!!

Good good and a nice environment!!

Their family dinners are a phenomenal value with great food!

Great food good service Friday at 5:00 pm

Excellent food!! Huge menu and fantastic service!!

Great food and a great menu. It's my daughters favorite Mexican restaurant, and they've never disappointed us.

Great food, great service, great people. What more can you ask for?

Food was very good service was outstanding. In the atmosphere was awesome. And most of all the price was right.

I love they way Sebastian taking the order for our group of 12 people and he serving the food absolutely Good service, and tasty food. will visit again for sure

Ordered a Patron Fijitas and it was absolutely amazing. Worth the price and the sides are well portioned with the entrees. Waitress was very consistent with checking in and food came out quick. Highly suggest Sunday night dinner for a calmer atmosphere

Nice friendly prompt staff.

Jenni was amazing

Visited El Patron for birthday celebration. Had a great time, service and food. Our waiter, Patrick, MADE IT ALL SPECIAL!!!

Good food!

Decent food and large quantities. The michelada is way too condimented tho!

If you want hot, fresh,colorful food, ice cold drinks that will leave you tipsy along with great service at a good price El patron Mexican grill is the place for you!!!

Best Mexican food we have found! The food was great, and the service was awesome!

Service was quick and friendly. Food quality very good and portions generous! I had the Patron Fajitas which were excellent and single portion definitely shareable.

Always good food and friendly staff

Great mexican food!!

Very good food nothing really to complain about

Food was good but cold but in fairness to them we did have a party of 35-40 people in our group.so I would done back and do recommend

Food was very good and the staff was friendly

Sometimes you just need a drink thats on fire and some sizzling fajitas. And El Patron certainly delivers both. We usually frequent smaller, boutique, restaurants, but sometimes the family needs large quantities of cheese dip! And you really cant beat this type of restaurant when youre craving that type of food. You know what youre going to get. Theres no surprises. The places are usually very loud, and this one is no exception. The drinks are pretty strong, and this place is no exception. The portions are medium size or big, and this place is no exception. This is a good version of the type of Mexican chain restaurant that produces fajitas and strong drinks and cheese dip. And, lets face it, sometimes thats what a family with two teenager needs on a Friday night!

During my initial visit today around noon, sat at the bar. There was a few people in restaurant which is good. The decor was a little dated but not too bad. The margaritas are fantastic and huge! The chorizo cheese dip was fabulous. The steak street tacos are very delicious. I highly recommend this mexican restaurant. I'll definitely come back!!

Great food everytime we have been!

The food here is always so good!! They have this one waitor who is amazing, great service!! His name is Patrick!

The place to go if you want a sit-down Mexican meal, otherwise go to taco truck. The music is loud, full bar and they have quick service.

Big plate of patron special. chicken, grilled flank steak, seasoned shrimp. I don't know what kind of marinate they use, it is different than typical carne asada. Anyway, it was good. Meat is seasoned and portion is large enough.

I take a look at their drink menu, never seen so many margaritas variety before. I only had a beer after work so maybe next time I will try their special margaritas.

Great food as always the aco chicken is always a go to good meal

I haven't eaten here, yet but it's on my list of places to visit!

Love this place!

Was a great experience! The server, Ricardo, was wonderful and the atmosphere was upbeat, cheery and welcoming. The food was delicious and the portions were more than enough...

I recommend the house special and cucumber margarita very very very very good!!!

Good vibes

Been a fan of EP for many years. Great margs and fajitas. Went for dinner on fathers day. The rap music was ear splitting. More than one table was obnoxiously loud and vulgar. I've heard the same thing from other buddies who have gone recently.

Food was very good great Mexican restaurant not to expensive staff is nice

Service and food was excellent

Birria fries, and nachos are my favorite

Best Mexican food in Rowan County, great food and great service!

George was my bartender, and he did a fantastic job. Not only was he courteous and attentive, but he was hilarious too! The food is pretty great as well, he recommended the patron burrito and it was delicious. Also, definitely try out the cheer wine margarita... It doesn't sound like it would work, but it does! I will be back next time I am in town, no doubt.

Skeptical at first but ended up leaving on a full stomach and happy. This place has a variety of queso Dips and food. Guac tasted fresh. The Parton burrito was great with the side of rice and beans. The fajitas was great as well. Margarita was sweet. This place satified our Mexican cravings.

Great atmosphere, good food

Hubby picked a tonight's dinner. Carne Asada. These was so good. I think it's safe to say we will be making a return visit.

The Tacos taste delicious. Service was good and the atmosphere was lively as this is cinco De Mayo. If you love good food, you should give this a try.

We went to eat there yesterday, we can not say enough good things. Our waitress was Maria, she was awesome. And not to mention the food tasted like it came from a 5 star restaurant. Hates off to the cook. My boyfriend had chicken fajita and i had the chicken zucchini .

Staff is very friendly and attentive. For the most, English is very good. Our experience was good. It would have been better if staff would have asked the people in the booth next to us to control their children. It's difficult to enjoy a meal with loud kids running around while parents are on their cell phone

Food was good I didn't send me to the bathroom like I thought it would

Went with friends an as usually this is my favorite restaurant great food great Margaritas an the service is good.

The food is always amazing! Ask for Patrick! He is an amazing sever! Best Mexican restaurant around.

Excellent food, service, and drinks. The atmosphere is a little too loud for me, but not everyone at our table felt that way.

Food is fresh and delicious. Always a great meal. Staff is awesome! Our new favorite restaurant

1st time here. Seated fast. Good service.
Great tasting food.
Atmosphere was just ehh.
Like the 90s music though!!
Will visit again if we come this way again.

Best Mexican Restaurant in the County..Service and Food was IMPECCABLE

GO! Dont let the location fool youvery authentic and delicious

Food is always good, always hot, never had anything I didn't like. Big portions always leftovers.

Best Mexican Ive had in years!

I can honestly say I haven't visited this establishment since 2013, and I always said I couldn't wait to go back, and after visiting a decade later, they did not disappoint every single bite was love.

Good food and cocktails!!

Very good food yum

Overall, a good place to get some dinner. Not expensive for the portions/quality. The rice was what took points off for food. It tasted odd and had a strange aftertaste. It was also tough to bite into, so it was slightly undercooked. The street corn was amazing. I enjoyed the flavor of it thoroughly. Lastly I ordered Tacos Al Pastor with pork & corn tortillas. It was really with pork+pineapple. I two very rough pieces in my tacos which I had to spit out, but thats kind of expected with food sometimes. Overall the food was pretty good. It was super dark in there and it made it difficult to see the best. The waiter was average and was mostly attentive. He was busy and had lots to do so we understand.

Second best Mexican restaurant in Salisbury. The staff was great at explaining dishes and their recommendations.

This is a great place! The food is always good, the staff are friendly and attentive, and they make great margaritas. We love the Coconut Margarita!

(Translated by Google) Excellent service and exquisite food.

Excelente servicio y la comida exquisita.

We went to eat last night we had to wait but not to long service was good and food was the best i ever had in Salisbury

FAVORITE SPOT IN SALISBURY!!

They have the best birria!

Great food great service love to come here

Good Mexican food and good service

Always a great place for a birthday celebration !!

This place was so packed last night but we still stayed and we had a really good time we loved it!

Best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to

Fresh and delicious! George is awesome!

I always come here to eat with my family! this place doesnt disappoint, if you come with a bad attitude dont expect to get the best service, please tip your servers and treat them with respect!

Ordered on line Food was very good and was ready about 10 mins after I placed my order food was hot when I picked it up I will be going back

The best Mexican food we ever had hands down! The meat was marinated perfectly, everything was so flavorful, our food came out in minutes.

This food was actually very very good. I was impressed with the quality of the food and the service and the price was good too. I will definitely be going back

Stopped in here on a Saturday late afternoon. Super busy, but we were seated fast. Service was on point. Excellent pitcher of margarita, mixed perfect. Food is above average. I really like the way they serve the refried beans, in a hard taco shell. My wife got chicken Chimichanga, which she get everywhere and said it is above average. I went with Carnitas Dinner. It was average, decent flavor - but just a little on the dry side. I really loved the Mexican Corn on the Cobb - maybe Mexican Corn? No idea, but the buttery sweet flavor was killer. Check out my photos!

The arroz con Pollo (grilled chicken and rice) family pack is a great option to Go. Good for four.

Chips, tortillas, melted cheese, chip sauce are included and the price is very affordable.

Nice place and good food.

We found this place as we pass by the highway. We are so glad we did! As we walk in it looks like a typical texmex ordinary Mexican restaurant. But the food surprised me!!! It is gourmet extraordinary quality!!! We order the agua chile, guacamole and the azada plate (cant remember the name, comes with chicken, stake and shrimp) it was all so delicious!!!!

The service was a bit slow but once we got our server she was polite and took care of us.

I will definitely make the drive to try this food again!!

Been a little while since weve been here, it used to be on the regular weekly rotation. Now I remember why! The vibe is colorful & boisterous. Saw several large Cheerwine margaritas even though I dont drink they looked cool! There were plenty of chips, salsa, queso, & guacamole to start with and the unsweet tea was perfect!! We were a party of 15 & they accommodated us with room to spare & we walking around celebrating our Uncle Jamie Ballards birthday!! Carne Asada was on point, perfect Mexican rice, and blacks beans, roasted jalapeo, grilled onion, avocado slices, pico de gallo, lettuce & warm corn tortillas!! My sons Carne Asada & fries were delicious as well, while wife enjoyed her favorite beef tacos! We had a great time well be back sooner.

Delicious fajitas and unique menu items overall

Those plantains are the shyt..tried the Cuban/Mexican dish and I was very satisfied

Food service and atmosphere are all great. Fajitas was exceptional and the bartender is there franchise employee. Thanks for the hospitality George.

If you haven't been, you have to go try it out.

Ordered take out, called it in and then went straight to the restaurant. Had to wait just a few minutes, understandably. When we got home with it, everything was correct and perfectly delicious. The portion sizes were so large, that it made two meals for the three of us. The amount of chips given to us was amazing. We also had plenty of salsa. Will definitely recommend this restaurant and we will definitely do take out again.

(Translated by Google) Original exclusive food, congratulations, I recommend it!!

(Original)
Original exclusiva la comida felicitaciones lo recomiendo!!

Amazing food and environment 10/10 attentive managers and servers coming back definitely

Excellent food friendly service

The cheerwine margarita was the best!

Nice atmosphere, great service and had some vegan options! Drinks were good too

Hostess was so nice this place is 100/10

My husband went to get Carne asada last night, best food ive ever had!

Great seafood options!!

Absolutely fantastic! Thank You.

This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. The food is consistently good.

I love me some Don Juan's in Lexington and thought no other restaurant could hold a candle to them but... El Patron's food is so delicious!! They have wonderful vegetarian choices as well! The service isn't as good as Don Juan's because DJ's staff are super friendly but their service is fair. This last time I went, the waitress was nice but the 1st time...the service was not good and the waitress was not too friendly.

Other than that though, it's my new favorite Mexican restaurant! I'm sorry Don Juan's

Oh. My. God. Best chimichanga Ive ever had anywhere, and number two isnt even close. I think Ill be stopping in every time I pass until Ive tried the whole menu. Miss this place at your own expense.

Ordered the Mexican torta with steak and a side of fries, the torta seemed to use bread made in house and was overall pretty good, the fries were also good. Came with a side of tortilla chips and salsa, the chips were good and the salsa was slightly spicy but also a bit thin.

Amazing place, I ordered Latron special. Delicious chicken breast, yummy steak plus jumbo shrim..what else you expect...I highly recommend this restaurant.

Real authentic Mexican food! Highly recommend this place the staff is nice and will definitely take care of you. I went with the El Patron Especial, and it was delicious come check out this family owned hidden gem!

I had a great time at El Patron. The atmosphere was great and the seafood fajitas were excellent. The sauces were rich and spicy and the seafood was fresh and flavorful, as were the vegetables. The beverages were good as well my favorite being the Long Island iced tea. My waiter was very kind and patient and always made sure we were good. Ill be back.

Always good!

The food is the best Mexican grill food I've ever had. Every single item ordered was cooked with a great level of care and attention to detail. The service and pricing was enough to visit again alone. The drinks and options were detail and experience driven/oriented and top level. I was thoroughly surprised this place didn't have even more reviews and definitely needs a new location upgrade as the quality overall is far exceeding its location. I don't usually take home leftovers from Mexican grill but this food was well worth it.

Service was good, food came out speedy fast, flavorful salsa, what I liked the most was the ranch cilantro which i learned was made in house and used instead of sour cream over my enchiladas I had ordered.

In Salisbury doing some estate business and found this great place. Great service and great food. Loved it !

Lots of great dishes and margaritas

I tried the Cheerwine tacos. I was concerned they would be too sweet, but the sauce wasn't slathered all over. It was applied just right. Our server was attentive without smothering.

Food was great. Fresh and hot. Salsa dip was fantastic!!

Overall, great service and food every time we go

Excellent food and service.

Awesome food and service! They accommodated our huge party of over 20 and got everything out fast! The food is way better than other similar restaurants anywhere nearby.

Food and atmosphere is good! Unique menu items, some that include Cheerwine!

Food was flavorful, staff was attentive! A must go for Mexican food.

Boat of cheerwine margartia! Need I say more!!!!

Everything was great

El Patrn is quite possibly my favorite restaurant of all time! The food is amazing and the entire team feels like family to us. We have been eating there regularly since their grand opening, and we have never had a bad experience. I cant recommend this place enough!!

Stellar food and Cheerwine margarita. Only saw our waitress once however but there were ample staff to suit our needs

Best Mexican food I've ever had and great margaritas

Tacos are very good

Once again a fantastic meal at El Patron!!! Food was exceptionally great and served hot! The pico was tasty. Service was prompt.

If you are looking for a delicious food and great atmosphere, try out this place! Fresh and delicious food! Friendly people. Great atmosphere inside! Indoor and outdoor seating. My tacos was great! Also chicken soup was delicious! Recommend!

Hands down, BEST Mexican food in Salisbury! All I have to say....

The server didn't come to the table to take our drink order for 17 minutes. Then the food order was made wrong.

Our Most Favorite was the Guac pregnant young lady did a great Job preparing it for us, and our Waitress was very Attentive and really nice, Me and my father ordered the same dinner Plate but Our Burrito Alpastor did lack Alot of flavor and rice was bland also, Desserts were Really good, But over all We really enjoyed dinning in!

Very good food but terrible service. Worst of all if you have 5 people at your table they automatically charge 20% gratuity which is what I normally tip but he wasnt worth 5%

Love the food and drinks! Highly recommend.

Very good dinner. Excellent Margarita! Highly recommend

Excellent service. Excellent food. Excellent drinks.

Outstanding family-friendly Mexican restaurant. They had some of the best guacamole we've ever had. Tasty chips, salsa, and pico de Gallo keep you going while you wait for your main courses. The chilled mugs for the beer are a nice touch. The menu has a great range of options. It all looks so good. I had the Popeye enchiladas, which were a bit non-traditional but delicious all the same. Recommended.

Very good place to eat. Come here at least once a month.

This is the first time eating here. And everything was so delicious and the staff our waitress was amazing. We will be back.

Excellent service. Excellent vegetarian options. Great lunch options. The drinks were on point. Clean environment.

Solid spot for real Mex and drinks. Been there 4x and all have been super even for a California girl!

Best Hispanic food I have had outside of Florida. A must eat in when you are in the area.

First time visiting. Was passing through looking for a good Mexican restaurant. We struck gold! Beautiful decor. Delicious food great drinks! Very reasonable prices. Definitely will make a trip back! Cant wait!!!

Great atmosphere and it is great food. They are very friendly. I do enjoy the food and it is very clean and clam.

Margarita so so yum

Was in Salisbury on a separate errand and dropped in for our first-ever visit (drawn by the exceptional reviews we'd read online). El Patron did NOT disappoint. This is without exception the best Mexican food we've found in this region. We had the Pastor tacos and the "Build Your Own" burrito (jalapeno tortilla, steak, rice, beans, guacamole with the salsa verde and cheese drizzle). Both were exceptional. Was a genuine pleasure to meet and speak with Jorge as well. We'll be back!!

Nice authentic Mexican restaurant next to the Cracker Barrel. Excellent service from the entire staff. The chips and salsa were great and the entrees were tasty and well composed. Prices were good for this quality of food and service. I will be back soon.

Pretty darn good. Had the shrimp cocktail, wet burrito, carne asada, and tacos. We've been on the hunt for good Mexican food since leaving Cali a year ago. We just found our spot.

Ive eaten here many many times traveling to the area. The food is always excellent. The prices cant be beat.

Highly recommend!! Food is amazing, and their catering options are excellent! Plus supporting another local business makes it even better!

We had El Patron cater a Christmas party and it was an absolute hit! We were very pleased with the professionalism, food presentation and the taste. We had it set up like a taco bar and I literally drooled on my shirt while waiting to fix my plate. We will def use them again!

Customer service good.

(Translated by Google) Fantastic!

(Original)
Fantastico!

Nice meal staff was very pleasant

El Patron has great food and an expansive margarita selection. The chips always taste fresh and the salsa is great!
The food is delicious and the service is always good.

This is my new place to eat authentic Mexican food. Tuesdays and Thursdays is 2 dollar tacos and they offer a wide array of tacos off of this menu. I ordered the Baja shrimp, DE asada, braised beef tongue and the supremos tacos. All of these were amazing, except for the braised beef tongue that literally smelled like bad body odor.

Great food and Staff

Salsa is delicious and food is delicious

Place has good tasting salsa. Lunch specials never disappoint. Even when servers are busy they stay on it.

Food was great and so was service

Excellent house-made salsa. We both had street tacos and liked the fact that there was fresh avocado on top. Large drinks, nice waitress. Had a good time!

Best Guacamole I ever had, excellent service, very friendly and a Margherita to die for!
Local people go here, not a tourist rip off!
From Wiesbaden Germany

We passed through Salisbury and were in the mood for Mexican food. Was very happy with the flavors and the cleanliness of the restaurant. You can tell they use high quality ingredients and care about how they make their food. If we come back this way again we will definitely stop here.

The best sauteed vegetables

Best the best

Tuesdays and Thursdays are my favorite.. The Taco specials are great, but those empanadas are delicious.

We came in with a big party last minute and despite them being short staffed we still had great service and were served great food in a timely manner. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

I love El patron! The staff is the super friendly!
For my shower 8 years ago they did our catering, then last year for my next shower they were supposed to but COVID ruined it LOL. No worries We still eat here almost once a week.

Our favorite restaurant in Salisbury. Great service and the food and drinks are great. A+++!!

Very good.

Great Food, needs more staff. Orders come out wrong alot

Good food good margaritas. Awesome size. Awesome service

The food was great with nice portions

George and George are the best! Have a Cheerwine margarita!

(Translated by Google) Very good place to enjoy everything that has delicious food and excellent service,

(Original)
Muy buen lugar para disfrutar todo lo que tiene la comida deliciosa y el servicio excelente ,

Great experience! George is the best!

The food was excellent and the service was great. The prices were reasonable especially considering the amount of food we were served.

Best Mexican food EVER!!! Great food; awesome service and cannot wait to go back! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Very good food. Nice people. Will go back again

Maui fish tacos are great. We always get the curizo bean soup and it's always delicious.

This place is the best! Worth the drive in from out of town. A great menu, very happy staff and customers and delicious food ... Que Rico!

Attentive staff. Good food. Reasonable prices.

My only go to Mex restaurant here in Salisbury.
Quality , Taste , Service, and smiling inquiring staff who are more than friends but family.

Unique menu, traditional foods as well as specialities and it's all good.

My new favorite restaurant. Fresh food, excellent service, and good prices. I love the specials and everything I have tasted has been delicious.

My favorite place in Salisbury to eat! Drinks are the best around you have to try the Cheerwine Margarita if you're looking for a new Adult beverage. Also, Barbara is the best! She always asks us and catches up with us even when not in our section! You'll always be treated like family!

El Patron Mexican Grill, Salisbury, is one of the best Mexican restaurants around. The ambience is decorative and festive in the Mexican tradition. Service is excellent, whether it's take out, ordering ahead, or dine in. No shortage of staff here. One feels well taken care of, and the food is excellent.

They kinda messed the order with the sides. Ordered a chicken soup instead a veggie one and the beans side was kinda soupy (maybe a bean soup?). It doesn't matter, I ate either way, it was good. The burrito was loaded with meat and it was delicious. I was impressed, because I had leftovers for the next day and everything tasted fresh.
I don't like Mexican food that much (maybe because I've never tried real Mexican food before?) But this place is 10/10.

Great tacos on taco Tuesday!

Great Food! Great Service!

Good atmosphere, tasty food and drinks

The best Mexican food around with great staff. Can't go wrong with anything you order

Good food

Good food. . Fast service

Great food and great service. One of our regular places to visit. They've got a really nice patio area. Taco Tuesdays they offer a special menu with $2 tacos of all kinds! Mahi mahi, shrimp, chicken, beef, chorizo wrapped in your choice of flour, corn or lettuce. Last night they served a mojito stuffed full of mint! So so good!

Great food and service

Food was great service was perfect

Perfect Mexican Food!! Perfects Margaritas!!

Great food! Wish I'd tried this place sooner.

Visited with great friends as I prepare to leave Salisbury and return to Omaha.

Delicious

Great Food, needs more staff

Great food. Vegetarian selection was excellent. Great place for family time. Friendly staff.

Food was really good. Maitred was terrible she sit 2 noisey kids beside us after we asked for quiet.

We celebrated a birthday there and the food and service was excellent!

Great

Great food, great service, great accommodations.

Great service. Awesome food. My wife is Mexican so tex mex is not her favorite but this place had some awesome street tacos for North Carolina. We will revisit!

Wonderful atmosphere, amazing food.

The pastor burrito is excellent. Our waitress was spot on and very nice.

DJ was great as well..

I'd say 4 and a half stars is about right great food and drinks and atmosphere but a little overpriced

Tasting this food is like watching Heaven just drop down on my plate. Mouth watering extremely juicy and never dry. You will not be disappointed only satisfied and when you need more rice they are happy to give it to you.

Some of the best Mexican food in town. Where do I start, even chips and dip were super. My salad, my entree, even my ice cold Corona. Definitely worth going to this extra clean establishment.

Love this place sooooo much!!!!!

Visiting from out of town after a long day at Carowinds. Everything is delicious. Ignore the Karens and their bad reviews.

Great service and food

Food was good af and my bartender looked like my big tittied friend Maria in Florida

Love it

This place is a favorite! Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Make sure you drop by!

The best Mexican food Ive had in a while. 9 months pregnant and Ive craved Mexican for the entire pregnancy. This place has been the best by far. Salsa was delicious, flavorful but not too spicy. I had the Pastor Burrito amazing! And my husband had the carne asada. The charro beans and street corn were very good as well! Our server, Maria was friendly and took great care of us. We have found our new spot!

Staff was friendly, food was delicious and the Strawberry daiquiri were heaven!!

I'd say 4 and a half stars is about right great food and drinks and atmosphere but a little overpriced

Tasting this food is like watching Heaven just drop down on my plate. Mouth watering extremely juicy and never dry. You will not be disappointed only satisfied and when you need more rice they are happy to give it to you.

Some of the best Mexican food in town. Where do I start, even chips and dip were super. My salad, my entree, even my ice cold Corona. Definitely worth going to this extra clean establishment.

Love this place sooooo much!!!!!

The pastor burrito is excellent. Our waitress was spot on and very nice.

DJ was great as well..

Great service. Awesome food. My wife is Mexican so tex mex is not her favorite but this place had some awesome street tacos for North Carolina. We will revisit!

Great food, great service, great accommodations.

We celebrated a birthday there and the food and service was excellent!

Food was really good. Maitred was terrible she sit 2 noisey kids beside us after we asked for quiet.

Great food. Vegetarian selection was excellent. Great place for family time. Friendly staff.

Great Food, needs more staff

Delicious

Great food! Wish I'd tried this place sooner.

Visited with great friends as I prepare to leave Salisbury and return to Omaha.

Perfect Mexican Food!! Perfects Margaritas!!

Great food and service

Food was great service was perfect

Great food and great service. One of our regular places to visit. They've got a really nice patio area. Taco Tuesdays they offer a special menu with $2 tacos of all kinds! Mahi mahi, shrimp, chicken, beef, chorizo wrapped in your choice of flour, corn or lettuce. Last night they served a mojito stuffed full of mint! So so good!

Good food. . Fast service

Good food

The best Mexican food around with great staff. Can't go wrong with anything you order

Good atmosphere, tasty food and drinks

Great Food! Great Service!

They kinda messed the order with the sides. Ordered a chicken soup instead a veggie one and the beans side was kinda soupy (maybe a bean soup?). It doesn't matter, I ate either way, it was good. The burrito was loaded with meat and it was delicious. I was impressed, because I had leftovers for the next day and everything tasted fresh.
I don't like Mexican food that much (maybe because I've never tried real Mexican food before?) But this place is 10/10.

Great tacos on taco Tuesday!

El Patron Mexican Grill, Salisbury, is one of the best Mexican restaurants around. The ambience is decorative and festive in the Mexican tradition. Service is excellent, whether it's take out, ordering ahead, or dine in. No shortage of staff here. One feels well taken care of, and the food is excellent.

My favorite place in Salisbury to eat! Drinks are the best around you have to try the Cheerwine Margarita if you're looking for a new Adult beverage. Also, Barbara is the best! She always asks us and catches up with us even when not in our section! You'll always be treated like family!

Service is quite slow. It took a a while to get our drinks and food. They finally made it to us hot and fresh. Food was good. But, the wait to get served and the wait to receive our bill, not so much.

My new favorite restaurant. Fresh food, excellent service, and good prices. I love the specials and everything I have tasted has been delicious.

Unique menu, traditional foods as well as specialities and it's all good.

My only go to Mex restaurant here in Salisbury.
Quality , Taste , Service, and smiling inquiring staff who are more than friends but family.

This place is the best! Worth the drive in from out of town. A great menu, very happy staff and customers and delicious food ... Que Rico!

Attentive staff. Good food. Reasonable prices.

I got the Pastor burrito, which I love. My husband got fajitas, steak, chicken and shrimp. He loved them. Service was excellent. You can make your own dessert sampler with 3 options. I got the mango mousse cake, the tequila tiramisu and the cinnamon plantains. The plantains aren't available for the sampler, but our server let me get them anyway, which was very cool. All of my desserts were delicious! We eat here about every 2 to 3 months. One of the best Mexican restaurants in Salisbury!

Wonderful food, great atmosphere and service. Best margaritas in town!

From the outside it looks small but when inside it opens up to a good size. Bathrooms were clean!!!! Our waitress was extremely nice and extremely knowledgeable about gluten which is awesome!!!! I'm a celiac and this is a must!! The food was delicious and we got big portions. Prices are great! Restaurant is clean! We will definitely be back!!! Waitress was Aldaneli.

We ordered:
Chimichangas El Patron. Shredded chicken. Rice. Fruit. Cheerwine.
El Patron Special chicken, steak, shrimp in garlic pepper sauce, rice, house salad. Cheerwine.

We eat here about once a week. The food is very good. We always get very good service. I would recommend this restaurant.

Food was great!

Good people and really good food.

Awesome Mexican joint with superb service. I was in from out of town and got the "Patton Especial" and it was great. Fresh hot food (chips and dip were freshly made). If you get a chance, try their version of elote with Tahini - it is amazing as heck!

Doesn't get much better than Cheerwine 'Ritas & Cheerwine Tacos! Amazing service as always!

Excellent food and good service! Will definitely be back!

Went for lunch today and had a great meal! Had the lunch huevo chorizo and it was absolutely delicious. Served with a side of plantains and street corn. Absolutely wonderful. Portion was plentiful I have enough for at least another meal. The service was quick and friendly and the price was affordable. I will definitely return.

Great server

The food was great! I ate the fajita taco salad and the bacon wrapped jalapeos. The. Food was flavorful.

Best Mexican food ever

Excellent food (and I'm very picky about Mexican food being a Colorado boy). The staff is wonderful as well. Great experience all around as I shared together with friends.

Delicious

This was our 1st visit here and we were not disappointed. Everything was delicious especially the homemade guacamole which was made right at our table. Jorge was awesome, very personable and it made our visit that much better. We'll definitely be back, they have the best Mexican food in town!

It was our Date night,we enjoyed being out and the food was great. Also the staff was great.

Good food, wonderful service

The food was pretty good, and the service was friendly. Their bathroom was also very clean. The only takeaways I have are that it's very cramped inside, it's a bit loud, and there's not a lot of room for larger parties, if any at all. That's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

Friday night. Wicked busy. Full staffed working hard. Called in an order. Bit of delay but they were crazy. Food was well packaged and hot. Everything was great. And this is why they were crazy busy. What a great spot. Outdoor seating in back. Worth the stop.

The food was ok a little spicy

(Translated by Google) A little bit very comfortable, excellent service especially the one offered by Jorge and Jaime. Thanks

Un ratito muy a gusto, excelente servicio en especial el que nos ofrecieron Jorge y Jaime. Gracias

The best margaritas in the world! Make sure to get Jorge Sr. the owner to make them for you! The food is fresh and delicious and the atmosphere is cozy and very inviting. Bring your friends here for a party!!

We stopped by yesterday because we saw they sponsored No. 47 Abigail Kenney. Food was great drinks were really good too! Fast service we will be back!

We were a party of 6 went in during blunch hour on a Saturday. The wait staff was great. The cheerwine Margarita is a must try. I am not giving them 5 stars because their men's bathroom didn't have any soap and while the staff was great with their interactions, we had a significant wait before we could order our food and the restaurant wasn't too busy.

Always good

Great place to eat and drink.

Food was good. Service could have been a tad more attentive, but I was with a large group. Great lunch choices.

This place is awesome, the cheerwine margaritas were great and the skull drink was really good also plus you get to keep the skull cup. They got them good chips.

Great place to dine

Went with my hubby and a girlfriend. We had the patron dip and red salsa with chips, and a very good size Michelada that was delicious. Also had a drink called La Bamba that was tasty and strong. We sat at the bar. The bartender was friendly. Nice atmosphere

Food was great and the DJ was fun!!!!!!

Mr. Jamie the manager is very Attentive and its clear the customer service is the goal whenever I go here to eat. Hands-down the best Mexican food you will get anywhere around.

Great place and great atmosphere

I think I might have just found my new favorite mexican restaurant, I was very pleased with food and service, highly recommend

Food is very good. Servers are friendly and welcoming. Music is a touch loud for me but I do not like music in a restaurant. My wife and I could have a pleasant conversation.

Love them.

Great little mexican spot. Good food & good prices!

You won't be disappointed with the menu or food at El patron! The service is impeccable, the margaritas are amazing, and I've never got anything but a wonderful meal here! Try it! You'll definitely be back for more!

Great food and great service!

We met family halfway from Charlotte to eat there it was excellent food clean service was good a highly recommended so probably go back again

Excellent food! They have a great new menu with so many tempting choices. I had the Al Pastor con Pollo with maize tortillas. It was absolutely delicious! It was a packed house and the service was still very good.
- Jason W.

The food was excellent. I should know since I am from Texas. I was visiting a great friend and he said the food was good and the service was incredible. URI, I hope I’m spelling it correctly, was truly wonderful. She knew my buddy Mike very well and made me feel very welcomed. I highly recommend this restaurant.
- Eddie G.

Hometown favorite! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu and the servers are always friendly! My family has been coming pretty regularly for the past five years! Always tasty and worth every penny!
- Dana B.

Large food selection. Good time for a place to hang out during the football game. Start with some complementary chips and salsa then give the top shelf guacamole a try, Made fresh table side. Next choose from one of the many main dishes. All the food is delicious and made fresh. Staff is super friendly with great service. Bar offers full selection of drink options. Any time you are looking for the best Mexican in the Charlotte area come check out El Patron. Come on out and have good times with good friends.
- Gene C.

I have been a this restaurant several times. My family and I drive quite a way (about an hour) to enjoy the amazing food, and the wonderful staff. We are always seated in a reasonable amount of time, and served our chips and salsa right away. The margaritas are out of this world, and if you want authentic Mexican food this is the place to go! I have brought several co workers and friends here, and each one of them said they will for sure return!!!!
- Jennifer A.

Delicioso!!! One of my favorite places to eat in Salisbury. Family owned and operated, delicious food, great atmosphere. Family friendly and welcoming staff. What more could you want...
- Todd S.

The very best Mexican Restaurant in Salisbury. Never had any bad food. Service is great. Jorge and his staff are always super nice. If you ever have to wait 10-15 minutes because they are busy, I guarantee it will be worth it! We love El Patron!!
- Connie H.

Fun place. Eat there with my friends at least twice a month. Good service
