Taqueria El Patron 9700 Fort Meade Road, Laurel, MD 20707

"Wonderful experience. Enjoyed a very clean restaurant (see pics), an engaging, knowledgeable waitress (Mariela B), and accommodating management. I ordered the Enchilada de Mole (see pics) and Oh My Gosh was the Mole exactly as advertised. "Savory-Sweet" was in the online-description and that's how it tasted. I had coffee and an icewater. My stomach was so full, lol. Enjoyed this visit so much I called a friend who is due to come through Laurel next week, and turned him onto this Address. Thank You Mariela and the rest of the Team! Nicely done Taqueria El-Patron!"

"First timer . I always visit Laurel but never tried El Patron . It’s located in a location. Where we don’t see it much . It’s kinda hidden ! But such an amazing place for Mexican food … For the price , the quantity of food is great .. most of the dishes that I ordered was 12-14$ and the quantity was a lot . Loved the taste too. There are very few veggie options. Got veg quesadillas and it was ok, chicken dish was really good . They also give salad , rice and bean with chicken meal. Very good service . Lots of seats inside to dine in .. parking is good . They also have a bakery inside … Overall a good experience .."

"This is a hidden gem located in the old Pizza Hut. My friend and I shared birria tacos, sopa de birria and the tacos dorados. The sopas pair really well with the crispy dorados. The broth itself was very rich in flavor and you can tell all of the meat juicys were marinating in it for hours. The birria tacos packed plenty of flavor and the tacos dipped in the consume were perfect. The staff here were really friendly. Highly recommend this spot if you want some quality Mexican food. I'll definitely be back to try their other taco specials and dinner items."

"Found a good Mexican place. The meat were well-seasoned and cooked just right, the mole sauce house-made and vibrant, the sides were good especially the refined beans that were heavenly, the crazy corn was wildly interesting, and the cashew fruit juice was fresh. The portions were just perfect and prices reasonable. A good Latino clientele [a good sign of the restaurant's food quality] that is not too crowded."
