I have been searching for a new Mexican / Taco spot for quite some time ever since our previous…read morerestaurant changed their name and lowered their quality. My wife and I just want good quality and value with some sincere & kind service; that's all. Nothing fancy and special treatment necessary, just good old fashioned hospitality and good food. We believe we have found it this Sunday afternoon! We found them on the reviews and it looked promising so we decided to give them a try. The moment we walked in, we could tell Taco El Patron was different. The restaurant was bright, clean and very inviting with their tastefully decorated walls to their comfortable seating & table arrangement. We were greeted by a very pleasant waitress named Ashley and she and Veronica made us feel at home from the time we let them know it was our first visit to the time we left feeling high satisfied by the awesome food and first-class service. The menu was simple but gave diners many different ways to customize their food - that was a big deal to us. The chips and chicharron were delightful with their amazing bottles of superb salsas! My wife went with the asada (steak) and I couldn't decide so I asked Ashley to bring me ALL six of the selections from the special tacos section and that's what she did with a giggle saying no one has ordered all them, so they even took a photo of that massive plate of tacos and all the tasty sides! I felt like I hit the taco lottery when the platter came out and because the service was just as amazing and outstanding as the food. I had a wonderful time trying each one of the expertly crafted tacos and was so impressed with each and every bite. The prices are fair & reasonable and that's honestly a bonus since it's hard to find value for your hard earned money these days. My wife and I felt like our money was well spent and our patronage was very much appreciated. With that being said, you and your family should not waste anymore time with other trendy restaurants (you know who they are) and come to Tacos El Patron where you will hit the taco lottery like I did with amazing generous homemade style food served by a staff that treats you like family. Great Job, Ashley, Veronica and the entire kitchen crew at our new favorite taco restaurant! Check them out and tell them David & Amy sent you.

I ordered the guac and pork belly with her and she walked away. I was trying to order my drinks but she moved so fast. I ordered one thing and she walked away. I had to go up to the bar to grab napkins and ask her for the amazing hot sauces that usually comes in the bottle. My husband ordered no onions and cilantro and got cilantro on everything. My husband ordered Al pastor and got lengua. The pastor lacked flavor. The best thing was the tripa. Although a bit greasy, it was tasty. The carnitas were good. Lengua was tender and asada was tender but lacked flavor. Not sure if tonight was an off night but the experience made me debate if I want to come back or look for a new taco spot. Ambiance was nice. Saw they changed seating from previous visit

Everything was so delicious my 'Imma just try it' went straight out the window! I had a fajita torta, and for take out delivery, it handled the ride pretty well. It was packed well and STUFFED. I get picky about my food getting soggy or a little too wet (either from lettuce or tomato) but the bread still had bite to it and everything altogether was tasty. Then I ordered fajita tacos (had a huge craving for them all week). And they had onion, cilantro, and limes included to drizzle and it was so good. I didn't even remember to take a picture I just gobbled it all up. The food was DELICIOUS! And their bean soup was so good. I don't usually order bean soup because I enjoy my refried beans but I was beyond surprised that they were so tasty. I ate it all up and drank the broth too! Next time I have to visit the store front to see how customer service is but the food *chefs kiss*

For food we ordered: Chili con queso Beef fajitas for one Cheese enchiladas (my son) Parrillada #1 (on a second visit) When we order cheese enchiladas, my son likes to substitute queso cheese instead of the typical enchilada gravy. (He loves cheese). This is the first restaurant out of all the local restaurants in the area that adds a $2 surcharge for the request. Anyway, onto the tastes. The food is actually really good. When I compare the fajitas to other places - these fajitas remind of a steak strips - they are really good and have the right balance of char and tenderness. The rice is also really good. I didn't make it to tbt beans, but I'm sure they would also be good. My son loved his enchiladas and actually asked for more. (Secret: we came back again and ordered him the 2 count - he was happy with his repeat selection). The staff were very attentive and nice. My only gripe was the surcharge for subbing queso instead of enchilada gravy.

I called around 9:00 knowing they closed at 10 and explained we were still 55 minutes away -- and coming with a group of 20+ people. Without hesitation, they told us, "Absolutely, come on!" We all trickled in with over 40 players and parents ready to eat, drink, & celebrate. The staff welcomed us with smiles, stayed attentive & patient the entire night, & never missed a beat -- even as we stayed open for just our group two hours past closing. This is truly a stand-up establishment that goes above & beyond for our community. Amazing service & great food! We're so grateful for a place like this to celebrate big moments together!

Fajitas and parrilladas, molcajetes, enchies, ceviches, caldos... they serve an array of Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. Staff is always friendly and energetic--it's def a neighborhood restaurant! And they have a drive thru. I believe they do tequila tastings/tequila dinners. I've only had a few margaritas there, and unfortch haven't really liked 'em (a lil too sweet, even the skinny marg). Though, my fam loves their margs.

Shocker -- they make EVERYTHING here, including the desserts we selected from their bakery section…read moreand thought were really good!!! Given all the shortcuts that so many restaurants take, this place deserves a "5" just for the fact that they do make everything themselves. And our meal was really excellent as well and a very fair price. We started with a Cheese quesadilla and our special request to have onions in there as well. It was good. For brunch we ordered the $12 Concha French Toast because Mr. Picky has a sweet tooth. That is Concha bread soaked in vanilla bean custard, topped with caramel, toasted coconut, cinnamon, whipped cream and berries. Mr. Picky didn't even need the side syrup. I like savory items and I so ordered the El Valle which was also $12. Two cheese enchiladas which I topped with sunny side up eggs, served with white rice and refried black beans. I added seasoned ground beef into the enchiladas and that was an extra $2. I requested white cheese enchiladas, don't know if that was standard or not. I am not a huge bean lover, but I have to tell you that the refried black beans on that plate were delicious. Very filling dish, tasted really good and it was a great value. Brunch is served Saturday & Sunday from 9am-3pm. I think this is the best breakfast/brunch I've had in the past two years. Generous amount of food and I couldn't finish it all. They have a bakery section and we walked over to look and see what we wanted to have for dessert. We couldn't decide between the interesting-looking carrot cake, the praline cheesecake or flan on top of chocolate cake. So we ordered and shared all three! LOL. Our favorites were the carrot cake and the praline cheesecake. I think this is the best breakfast/brunch we've had in the past two years. Generous amount of food and I couldn't finish it all. Five stars for making everything themselves, waiter Eduardo was very helpful, and we're definitely coming back soon!!!

Gotta say that their gun sodas are as good as McDonald's which in my opinion is sooo good. Wife had a strawberry margarita with Tajin on the rim. It has a family restaurant feel. Love supporting this place. Out the door $60 including tip and leftovers.

Beware of the fake Happy Hour presented on the front of the menu. No discounts. Manager couldn't even explain the happy hour notation. Eat here at your own peril. If you tell me it was good, I would call you a liar to your face. WDG. Cypress, TEXAS

We loved our ceviche, cheese birria tacos and street fajita tacos mixed with chorizo on home made tortillas. They were loaded with meat! We took the dessert home (tres leches of course).
