First time here for breakfast and ordered the menudo. First off they only have one size option "Large" and it was served piping hot. It was really good and flavorful also had a taco de barbacoa that was also very good. Good food, good service but very small seating area that you may have a wait time on busy days. read more

Let me begin by saying the food is good. However, their ordering policy is nothing but greedy. One morning I went in to get a single breakfast taco before I went on a bike ride on the T. Trail and was told I had to order 3 tacos. This morning my wife and I wanted 2 tacos apiece but was told I had to order 3 or 6. Why can't I have what I need? Why must I pay for more than I need to get what I want? I have had it with them! It's a shame because I live close by and enjoy the convenience of walking over and getting breakfast on Sunday morning. read more

El Patron - Hot and fresh, made to order in and out for lunch! - Mexican Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Another authentic Mexican restaurant that hits the mark! Helpful, attentive and polite staff. It's busy, but efficiently run. Chips and salsa are the first indication that it's going to be a delicious ride. Pozole like grandma's, pork cut and cooked perfectly. Broth stands on its own! Homemade corn tortillas come out hot and delicious! I'm so happy I finally stopped to eat at this gem! read more

The chicken flautas were a bit over-fried which made them far too hard and crunchy. The rice and beans were so so.. The real star specifically was the salsa. The salsa has great flavor and heat! read more

My fiancé work is around the corner and he tries all the local places. So he decided today was the day that he would bring me to try this place out. It's nestled in the North side of FTW, near the stockyards. These mom and pops authentic Mexican places are the best. This place was immaculate the service was quick and the food came out fresh. We both got the #13 Asado Rojo. This is park with red chili, served with a side of beans and rice. Chips and SPICY salsa. The corn tortillas are home made and were warm and tasty! Everything on this plate was delicious and worth the try! read more

El Patron - No. 14, Chicken Flautas combo meal. - Mexican Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Good but the main owner Or manager not sure who he is exactly is a bit rude but the food an 8/10 so if you can ignore him it's a good place to try but if not then i wouldn't recommend going read more

This is one of my favorite places to go to. The food is great and the prices are fair too. The corn tortillas (and flour I think) are handmade which I love, and everything is authentic. My only small complaint is that it can get crowded sometimes, so I try to not to go during those hours when a lot of people go (mainly on the weekends during breakfast, lunch, and dinner rush hours). read more

Right off of Main before heading down the stockyard. Augua's we're good size. Service was good. Food came in a good time. They have a closed off porch, good size area. read more

The BEST Barbacoa, best corn tortillas, best Menudo, and best salsa de arbor m. Don't sleep on this place

Not worth the hassle. 45 minutes before anyone came to take our order. The food was too salty and not worth it.

Best posole and Asado Rojo (pork smothered, and red chili sauce) you've ever had in your life! Trust me.

Great breakfast. Ordered the patron breakfast with barbacoa. Homemade tortillas were delicious. The barbacoa was a little different than the traditional, they put something on it to give it more of a reddish color, but the taste was authentic. I did think the mashed potatoes with breakfast was a little odd. The food was flavorful none the less. They don't have fountain drinks and soda was served in a can. Good little spot and will be returning. read more

Food was excellent, servings were a nice size and they had some of the best salsa I have ever eaten and I have eaten a lot of salsa.

Great authentic Mexican food. The chips, the beans, the asada, the nopales, all of it was absolutely delicious. Heck, even the coffee and water were great! The staff was extremely friendly and they had huge portion sizes. read more

Awesome authentic Mexican food!!!! The Menudo and Posole reminded me of my grandmothers and the homemade corn tortillas were heaven in my mouth. Will totally go back again after a night out in the Stockyards read more

El Parton is an AWESOME little Mexican Restaurant that is known for their Menudo but they are always expanding their menu to include new dishes and everything has been good! It is authentic Mexican food and the service is always friendly and outstanding! If you are in the stockyards area, you need to give it a try! read more

Went to pick up breakfast togo for a group when they first opened. The girls up front were great and very accommodating. They do have off menu breakfast specials which were amazing! I ended up also getting the small relleno taco/burrito and it was huge! All the flour tortillas were made by hand for all the tacos and burritos so it took a little bit, but it was well worth the wait. Great place for breakfast, will be trying lunch next. read more

The other day I was running errands during my lunch break and on my way back downtown I drove up on this place. I wanted something to take back to my desk and popped in to see what the menu looked like. It looked good from what I could tell. Thank goodness for pictures on the menu. At least 98% of the menu is written in Spanish. I read about 1% Spanish but that's cool. I ordred the #10 which is Quesadilla con hongos o pollo. Your choice is mushrooms or chicken. I love both but for my first visit I selected chicken. I'm smart. That chicken had this really tasty seasoning on it. I was very pleased with my selection. I ordered a side of guacomole with my lunch. You can order small for $2 or large fo $3. I ordered the small and it was a perfect portion. I can barely read the menu but I don't care. I love good food and I will definitely go back agan. read more

This is really good!! No beef enchiladas but that's not a deal breaker!! Hot sauce is hot....food comes out HOT!! Not the typical type where they put everything on a plate and throw it in the oven. Each item is hot where they put it together on your plate and serve it...10 minutes in food still nice and warm....I'll be back when I can!!! read more

I placed a simple order of 4 tacos to go with bacon potato and egg. The girl said they'd be 3$ a piece. I thought wow, they must be huge tacos, lol. She gave me my order and it was 17$ with 2 coffees. Got back to hotel and no bacon and the smallest most pathetic tacos I've ever seen. Barely any egg and ZERO BACON. Very dissatisfied! read more

Ate here for the first time. I had 3 pastor tacos which was $5.00 and 1 Asada sope which was $4.50 both were great. I plan on going back and trying more but I would highly recommend what I had. read more

El Patron - #1 huevos rancheros amazing and corn tortillas freshly made. - Mexican Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Came here after my bachelorette party the morning after. I was specifically looking for a place with pozole. They have all sorts of authentic menu items. Not sure how the place works if you sit or wait to be seated but it was hoppin on a sunday morning so we sat down and were waited on fairly quickly. My white sister ordered the quesadillas and liked them. Other sister and I ordered pozole and friend ordered barbacoa. All tortillas were great especially the corn. Would come back in a heart beat! read more

Had the Pozole (made with chicken not pork) and chicken enchiladas in red sauce. 1 Diet Coke (in a can). Total $23.00 (not including tip). Portions seemed rather small for the price, especially the $11.00 bowl of soup (Pozole). Waitstaff was friendly and (mostly) attentive. Pozole was satisfactory, nothing special. Chicken enchiladas in red sauce were the most bland, tasteless enchiladas I have ever eaten. I'm pretty sure the white meat chicken mush stuffing was canned chicken with no extra seasonings and the red sauce on them was unseasoned except for salt and the very bland chilies it was made from. The rice was nicely cooked but again, flavorless. The refried beans were satisfactory, nothing special. The 3 flour tortillas appeared to be made in house and were excellent. The salsa and chips appeared to be made in house and were excellent. The inside of the restaurant was clean, neat and bright. Very homey and authentic feeling. The menu was limited and primarily in Spanish (not a big deal, easy enough to figure out). No reason to ever go back. read more

First time coming to this place.....I really liked it. Everything we ate was delicious!!!!! I had to take a bite of everyone's food!!! So Good!! I ordered the Posole...it came with cabbage and onions on the side. I mixed it all in my posole and I added some lime. It was very good!!! It came in a huge bowl!!! My husband got a big steaming bowl of Menudo. That was very good also. He also said the chips and salsa were on point. My son got chicken enchiladas with red sauce. Those were delicious!!! Next time I go I'm going to order me plate of those. We all agreed we loved the place and we will most definitely return very soon!!!! read more

Great Service, Great Food, if there's a problem just tell them and they will try to do anything they can to fix it. Menudo is the Restaurant specialty I strongly recommend it. read more

Only ever ate the tacos and posole... both are amazing.. kind of small, big parties might have to wait a little.. but on a cold morning, their posole cant be beat read more

The beans and rice are wonderful! The beef tacos very good. I could go and make a meal of the corn tortillas. Both the red and green sauce was wonderful on the enchiladas. read more

I've been here now 3 times. They have authentic Mexican food that's delicious. We've tried several times on the menu, and their food is consistently good. read more

Read a review in Fort Worth Magazine and decided to give it a try. Simple place on the north side near the Stockyards, I usually judge a Mexican restaurant food by their enchiladas, I was not overly impressed, they used ground meat that was BLAND, and the red sauce they were topped with was the same way, no flavor. I poured the sauce that came with the chips over the enchiladas to get some kick and flavor in the meal. The sauce and chips were very good, service was also good. I doubt that I shall return, there are many more small Mexican restaurants in Ft. Worth that stand above El Patron. read more

Awesome beans and home style corn tortillas. Red enchiladas are very traditional for a taqueria.

the best authentic Mexican food in the Fort Worth Area ; the best service and quality ... prices axible ... Two toms up...
