EL Patron Authentic Mexican Cuisine #1 901 West Morton Avenue, Jacksonville, IL 62650

"The food was outstanding. It's located in a little strip mall. I was so glad we decided to try it out. I definitely recommend this restaurant and you have got to get the "Pineapple Loco"!"

"Really good authentic Mexican food! Lots of options for margarita and daiquiri flavors. I had guava and it was great. The staff was helpful and kind. My husband got 2 tamales which looked amazing."

"This place has sube decent ambiance for being in a strip mall. There is no bar, but plenty of seating for the size of this town. Decided to do something different and order a small salad to start. Got the commentary chips and ordered a cerveza along with the Pollo Patron. Got the salad fairly quick, but no dressing. Wasn’t really a tossed salad either as the name implies. Asked for some dressing. Got my dinner before the dressing came out, not that big of a deal i guess. The plate was great. Cheesy sauce for all man. With the chorizo, onions, and some mushrooms. It made for a pretty tasty dish. The grilled chicken breast was on the bottom of it all. I made some small burritos out of them, along with the tortillas, and parts of my salad. Tomatoes and fresh onion mainly. I did get the dressing, but by this time, i ended up taking what was left with me. The only other thing i didn’t care for were the refried beans. Different flavor. I will try this place again."

"This place is great. The starter chips and salsa were on point. Definitely some of the best restaurant salsa I've had. The entrée was fabulous. And yes those are whole strips of bacon on top of the enchiladas. Absolutely satisfied with every aspect of this visit. Will be back."

"No exaggeration - best Mexican dish I've ever had. I ordered the Pollo Hawaiian. The chicken is juicy and tender, the ham is flavorful, the chorizo has a great kick, the pineapple is fresh cut and sweet, and the cheese sauce that covers it all is some of the best I've had. All together its a dish that has a depth of flavor you rarely get in Mexican restaurants. My wife ordered the Enchiladas Don Juan, and she really enjoyed hers as well."
