Both the service and the food bely the humble exterior and interior. The inside is Spartan with just a few tables, but the service couldn't be better. For lunch, I had Melecio's Quesadilla with Chorizo, served with rice & beans. My wife had Three Soft Shell Tacos with Steak and a side order of rice. Both meals were outstanding, and truly authentic. No fancy presentation here as the meals are served in "to-go" containers with a plastic spoon. When we were there, every table (all 5 of them!) were occupied entirely by locals, except for us. This is actually a 4-star place, but I'm giving it 5 stars because we both liked it so much! Location: 4 stars Food: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Value: 4 stars Ambiance/Décor: 3 stars

What a great experience we had a El Patron Grill! Honestly, this wasn't our first pick but due to…read morethe situation I'm glad we ended up here. We came for a weekday lunch on a rainy day. When we arrived we were sat immediately and were probably the 5th table in the good sized restaurant. Our waiter arrived and took our drink orders quickly. It took a few more minutes before he came back to take our food order. While the menu is pretty large it is not huge. That's good IMO because they understand what each dish takes better. My Michelada was excellent! I don't mean because of the showy shrimp and cucumber with Chamoy and Tajin. I mean it was one of the best ones I've ever tasted and I've had a lot. Our food came out and was really good. I got Chipotle Chicken which came on a sizzling platter with a chipotle cheese sauce, onions and peppers, and rice on the side with tortillas. Lip smacking'! I asked for some home made hot sauce as well. It was pretty good but due to the amount of tomatillos in it I found it a tad bit too tangy. The others in my party were apparently happy with their meals because all of their food was gone. If driving through Elizabethtown or vacationing at White Lake and have a taste for Mexican, stop by El Patron and leave full and happy.

The positive first: The lime mojito was probably the best I've had. The salsa is close to the best in Goldsboro. My son raved over his birria tacos. That was it... 3 things form the entire meal. The wait time from order to receiving food seemed a little long since there was less than a handful of people when we arrived. The guacamole was edible but not as good as it should be. My younger son and I asked for no cheese sauce on the kids burrito and he got it anyway. Tamales are hard to find and to get them with questionable looking ground beef and beans dumped on them was disappointing. They were okay once I scrapped that off. The refried beans were terrible. The rice was okay and the black beans tasted like they came strait from a can. The deal breaker is when the waiter came and told me he made a mistake. He proceeded to tell me he gave another table my ticket and flashed a signed ticket and proceeded to show me their tab that was almost $5 more and asked me if I would just pay their ticket. He kept saying something about him paying the $5 but he was not saying how and I was put on the spot. I asked him to remove a $2 item on that ticket and agreed just to get it over with. He should have reprinted my ticket and dealt with the mistake behind the scenes.

The last few takeout orders have been rather disappointing and the most recent order was a total disappointment. The tacos I ordered this time were very skimpy. They also neglected to include my rice and beans and other side items that accompany the tacos. The other dish that was ordered for my wife did have her rice and beans but when I tasted the beans I was glad I didn't get any. They had a badly burnt taste indicating they had burnt severely in the pot and they had salvaged what they could with no regard for what they might taste like. We also had the beef dip which has queso, but it was bland, thin and watered down. It appears that this restaurant is going downhill fast. It's a shame to see the decline in quality at a restaurant, that at times has been really good.
