All I can say is WOW. It is better than we imagined. I hardly ever leave reviews, but Juanita definitely deserved a shoutout! Everyone was so kind and helpful. When we pass back through Leeds, Alabama next time, we will definitely be back.

I get the same thing at every Mexican restaurant (cheese quesadilla with rice and beans). Overall, it was pretty dang good! The cheese in my quesadilla was really creamy and yummy!

I was greeted and seated immediately during lunch hour, and it was not too busy. The vibe of El Patron is very laid back and casual, and they have colorful Mexican style decor everywhere. They brought us chips and salsa right as we sat down. Their menu has different categories like steak selections, lunch deals, and appetizers. I ordered cheese dip and Guacamole Casero (guacamole with onions, cilantro, jalapeño, cilantro, tomato, lime) as our appetizers. When it came to the entree, I ordered the steak burrito. The food all came very quickly and it was very fresh and flavorful. The steak burrito was massive, tender, and juicy and the vegetables in the guacamole were bursting with flavor. The servers are always very attentive and quick with service. I have never had a long wait for food at this location. I would recommend this to anyone looking for amazing Mexican food.

I guess people like it, and for good reason. We tried several tacos - steak, chorizo, pork, and chicken. All were good and tasty. We didn't get the onions, but it did come with radishes, cucumbers, and limes on the side. They charge extra for cheese, so we just put some shredded cheese on it once we got home. Each taco came double wrapped with tortillas. There are several other options on the menu I'd like to try next time they are in the neighborhood. Also, according to their FB reviews, they also have some menu specials such as shrimp tacos and quesadillas every so often, but weren't there when we went. Hopefully next time!

This has been one of my go-to food trucks for the past few years if I am craving Mexican food. The…read morevibe is very causal and laid-back since it is a food truck. They have their menu plastered on the side of the truck which includes things like burritos, tacos, sopes, tortas, etc. I ended up ordering two brisket tacos supremos ($4 a piece), which have tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, and sour cream. They come with two small containers of salsa (one is spicy and the other is mild). I also ordered esquites ($6.50), which is corn in a cup with mayonnaise, cotija cheese, tajin, Valentina, and lime. The people who take your order are always very nice and quick. I waited about 6 minutes for my food to come out, and they call you over when it's ready. The food was all hot and so fresh. The brisket in the tacos was very flavorful and cooked well, and the esquites were tangy and juicy. They give you great portion sizes for the price and quality in my opinion. I have never had a bad experience here, and would recommend it to anyone needing a quick bite to eat.

You can't really go wrong with a basic steak taco or quesadilla. This taco truck is in a convenient location with very reasonable prices. The service is friendly and attentive to each persons order. There isn't much seating if that's something you're looking for. As mentioned this is a good fast street taco spot. It's perfect for days you're on the go and want an affordable tasty takeout option. If you check out this spot let me know what you think. They have a wide variety of options on their menu. Don't forget to ask for their salsa verde. It's great and adds just the right amount of spice to your order. They also have soft drinks as well as jarritos. Overall I'd recommend and go back.

First of all, this place had AC that was broken or malfunctioning. My group was seated in a corner and we were sweating like hogs during the entirety of our experience. It was actually cooler once we stepped outside (in mid July). I was starving for the steak nachos but was massively underwhelmed. I feel like nachos are one of those things that are hard to mess up. However, the steak was more like ground beef, and despite the amount of cheese and chopped vegetables, the flavor was lacking. Also, there were barely any chips, and the cost to have a refill of chips is $2. When I asked for a water, I was given a water bottle without any notice beforehand that this would be the only option and obviously an extra charge. I will say that the service is very speedy, attentive, and thorough. The margaritas were very tasty (lime, prickly pear, strawberry were the best). However, they were quite small relative to other margs around town and significantly more expensive. For the venue size and atmosphere, I was a little disappointed at the price point for the portion sizes. My nachos, water, and margarita ended up being $25 before tax. I would probably try a different place for the same vibe next time.

It is located in the Edwards Lake Road Lowe's parking lot near the back of the Staples. Looking back over my check in photos, I have consistently ordered the Campechano Tacos which is a typical go to for me with any taco truck. On my most recent stop I ordered the Campechano Quesadilla instead. While I did enjoy it, I think next time I get a quesadilla, I will try the Pollo or Asada instead. I was also very tempted by the tamales and plan to try them on a future visit. I timed my visit just right and was able to order with no wait because almost immediately several people showed up behind me. It did not take long for the pager they gave me to go off for me to receive my order.
