    Chorizo Quesadillas
    Anthony B.

    Been here a couple of times now on my trips up and down I95. Chester is a great place to stop and this Mexican restaurant is as good as they come. Quick service. Friendly staff. Delicious food. Besides the basic menu items Don Pepe has variations they do with pineapple and ham in certain dishes. I wasn't sure at first but had to try and it was a great addition.

    Good service and yummy food, what more could you want from a Mexican restaurant! A group of 9 were staying across the street and wanted a close place to grab dinner on a Saturday night. They took a reservation which was nice too! Service was friendly and accurate for our large group. Our server made sure everyone had water, drinks and refills. Chips and salsa were fresh and they even had the famous white sauce and it had really good flavor! Extensive menu with lots of good choices. Everyone liked their food and they were good portions. I had the chicken fajita burritos and it was delicious! Rice was also very good! Would come back if I was in the area!

    Shrimp fajitas with lots of veggies!

    The food was delicious. Came out out and fresh. Big portions for the price. Waitress was very accommodating and friendly.

    Brisket Taco

    Probably my favorite Mexican restaurant on the planet. Chips and salsa are always fresh and delicious. The brisket tacos are unbelievably good. This place is a regular visit for me. Highly recommend!

    There are so many Mexican spots in this area of Chester and Don Pepe is super popular so we decided to give them a try. The menu is overwhelming but I finally ordered the salmon fajitas with lots of veggies and overall everything was good but I was disappointed with the quality of the salmon. The drinks were good, but I'm looking forward to trying something different next time.

    Chile relleno
    Kristen B.

    I went here in search for my holy grail in Richmond. Which is a decent Chile relleno. And I was disappointed again. This was definitely not the worst I've had but not the best and none have been "good". I feel it was the sauce there was something really off with it's after taste in it. My companion and I both thought so. Maybe it had been sitting in the fridge too long ? The rice and beans were nice but nothing amazing. Some of our chips were literally black but the non burnt ones were ok. The enchilada my companion said was ok but nothing amazing. I did like my Hawaiian tacos. I won't say they were amazing but they were good. The sauce really made them. Overall it feels about on par to all the other Tex mex places in chesterfield but prices were reasonable and staff was friendly. But I think I just set my hopes too high for my relleno. The weird sauce and burnt chips are why I gave a 2- otherwise I'd rate it a solid 3 maybe 3.5 for the nice Hawaiian tacos. Which to me is acceptable but nothing amazing.

    We came to Richmond for 4 days and ate here twice. I broke my own rule of eating at one place more than once but it was so good. I tried the Chile relleno, taco, and beans one day. I had the taco salad the next day. My friend had the chicken fajita burritos both days. The service was good and the food was delicious!

    Margarona
    Peter S.

    Best Mexican Restaurant I've ever been to. Staff was always friendly. Food was delicious and flavorful. We used to come one or twice a week when we lived there. Sadly we moved out of the area but this place will always have a special place in my heart. The drinks were also great. Definitely had my fill of Margaronas and Margaritas during my time. Very reasonably priced. Check this place out, you will not be disappointed.

    We were not impressed with this bland food. How could Mexican food be bland??? Well Americans live to water down international cuisines.

    One of the best Mexican restaurants in Chesterfield. Louis and his staff are the friendliest and…read moremost generous welcoming people in the industry. The atmosphere is energetic and immersive as a Mexican Cantina is. We have been coming to El Patron for 20+ years. The food is plentiful, delicious, authentic and delicious. Well done All.

    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.
