El Patron Mexican Worcester

A group of friends and I were in Worcester for a scheduled American citizenship ceremony! One of the ladies just googled restaurants in the area and Bingo we chose El Patron… we had nothing but the best comforting Mexican food in the world! I particularly love Mexican tamales and they were the best, so good that I ordered six more to go! Rice and beans need an honorary mention…delicious! You can see the staff preparing your food as soon as you get in! The staff is from all over the world, warm, friendly staff, extremely attentive! We live an hour away but we’re going back soon! This place won’t disappoint, freshness, tasty, authentic Mexican food! Try it!

My overall experience here was positive. Our waitress, Lourdes, was very pleasant and attentive to our needs while we were there. To start, she gave us homemade chips with salsa which was a nice beginning to our meal. I ordered the enchiladas with chicken. They were very tasty but I thought it was strange that there were grilled chicken strips outside of the enchiladas. Come to find out, there was shredded chicken inside the enchiladas in addition to the strips, which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, It was the perfect amount of food.. i would have given this place 4 stars if I hadn't tried my daughter's steak which was over cooked and had a decent account of fatty gristle within it. Also, being in the city, you end up having to pay to park which is sort of a letdown. The atmosphere felt like your average bar with cement flooring and cafeteria style tables and chairs. On the plus side, the artwork on the walls were vibrant, tasteful and very cheery! I would say i it's worth a try if you are looking for Mexican food in the city.

The tacos and horchata here are absolutely delicious. The service is quick and outstanding. This is definitely a must-visit spot!

El Patron is a restaurant you definitely shouldn't miss. The atmosphere, along with the incredible food, makes it a standout. Our server was fantastic—attentive, knowledgeable, and polite. The portions are generous and worth every cent. The aromas were absolutely delightful. The mango margarita was delicious, so I can only imagine that the other flavors are just as good. If you're in the mood for authentic Mexican cuisine that feels like home-cooked meals, this is the place to be. You won’t be disappointed!

This is a non Authentic Mexican place! I ordered first a Guacamole and chips and it was a pre-made cold Guacamole. Chipotle's Guac and chips are better! Then I ordered green chilaquiles with 2 sunny side eggs, steak, rice, beans, and avocado, and that never came as I ordered! Also, I ended up asking for the avocado because they didn't add it to my plate. This is a mess! Administration please get a chef who can cook authentic or close to real Mexican food. The food was tasty but not what I ordered from Mexico. It was chilaquiles from another place not from Mexico.
