El Patron Mexican Grill 51 Lincoln Road, Brooklyn, NY 11225

"Stumbled in for a couple drinks after a day in BK. My friend and I went from Industry City to Smorgasburg to Taqueria for Bulldogs. It was a chill Sunday and this was a stop as we went about our day. When we arrived it was pretty empty and we were seated right away. We order a couple of mango bulldogs and chatted as we noshed on chips and salsa. Originally we were not hungry but I we sat we sat we decide on a couple of tacos (shrimp and fish). The bulldogs were cold and tacos were tasty. Just A Note: If in the area stop by for a drink or two."

"Food is decent. The Agua de Horchata is a bit sweeter than it should (they don’t serve it with ice). The order of guacamole as appetizer is surprisingly small compared to other restaurants with similar dishes."

"Didn't disappoint ❗ The food, drinks and atmosphere is very nice. Didn't realize it was 3 different entrances but I will definitely go back again!"

"The place is cozy and decor attractive. The food was decent, meat excellent, portions gigantic but somehow it didn’t quite work for us. Bloody Mary was straight horrible. When it first came out it was so salty that if most likely contained a weekly amount of recommend dose of sodium. It soon turned out it was to mask the lack of alcohol in the cocktail. Our server was kind enough to bring us complimentary shots but we made a mistake of mixing those into the drinks instead of downing them straight up. It didn’t go well. Now we had super salty drinks. Service was polite and efficient. Perhaps we just didn’t make the right choices. Horchata was delicious!"

"On Chilly Monday night, I decided Mexican food was a good idea. I wasn’t impressed with El Patron. Will I come back? No. Service was fast. Food came out quickly. So what was the problem? The food is a little bland for my taste. The reason the place got 4 stars from me was quick, friendly service, and large portions of food. Moving from the south I’m just use to a little more flavor. This place in my opinion is great for maybe a date night or hanging with friends. It’s usually packed on a Friday and Saturday night so you have try it for yourself. Obviously, this place is still here for a reason. Don’t let my southern snobbery detour you from checking this place out. ***so changing my review rating*** I just got home it is 7:22 PM I threw-up!"
