My friend and I were met with smiles by the team at El Patron Cantina in Chester. We were given a…read morechoice of two seating areas. Both dining areas are nicely decorated with good lighting (just enough/not too much). It is a wonderful family environment (yes, even the bar) We were quickly seated and given a choice of a couple tables. We opted for a high top table in the bar. Our lovely server greeted us with a smile. We were promptly served water along with warm chips and delicious fresh thick salsa. We ordered "Top Shelf" Margaritas. During different visits the various margaritas were excellent. There are many great choices. I usually judge a Mexican restaurant by their chimichangas. The beef tip chimichangas were beautifully presented and hot.The "chimis "had excellent texture and flavor. High marks for the flavor, size and presentation. I just returned from Houston and loved the Tex-Mex there. Given that recent experience, El Patron rates highly. I visit often and recommend that you do the same. It is a real treat every time. The only downside is the background noise. When the dining area is crowded, the noise is problematic. El Patron should invest in some noise reduction.

It was such a pleasant surprise to find this tiny laid back restaurant. It's very lo key and nothing fancy , but, the staff , waitress and lady at the front made it so special to us.

The inside features a bar, some booths, and even a pool table. The clientele has always been exclusively latino when I've been, and most of the servers speak limited English, but the vibe is completely welcoming. Everything is made to order so it can take some time (15 minutes on average), but I've never had a better pupusa. They're crispy on the outside and chewy soft on the inside. All of the combos of chicken and bean with cheese are phenomenal. They're so crazy cheap too: $1.75 a pop! I'd give this place five stars if they music weren't so often so loud that you can feel the beat in your chest. Order take out or bring ear plugs if you want to dine in. If you're looking to party though then this is your spot. I've seen some of the guys at the bar ask a waitress to dance and they cha cha-ed there way around the place!
