First time customer driving through from the beach. Not too many dining options between asheboro…read moreand rockingham. However I found this gem of a restaurant shortly off the interstate. First impression wasn't top notch since the parking situation can be tricky. If you park by the building your going to get boxed in. Other that that I had a wonderful dining experience. Very clean restaurant and super friendly staff. Food was extremely tasty and made of fresh ingredients. Read other comments from people raving about this restaurant and I concur with all their comments. Will certainly be back again when passing through.

Everything we ordered was hot and delicious, portions were great and the price was very reasonable. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. The atmosphere was great. Lastly, the service was above and beyond. It has been a long time since I could say we have had service that good anywhere. Jessy was fantastic making sure our meal was great and interacting with our family. This was our first time here and we will definitely be back!

Arrived on Saturday evening without a reservation and we were seated immediately. We had the…read morechicken fajitas, beef chimichangas, chicken and mushroom quesadillas, and shrimp burrito.

Chips... tacos... .....with a spoon... LOL The rest of the menu doesn't disappoint either--fresh ingredients, generous portions, and great flavors. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. If you're looking for a reason to treat yourself, make it the queso blanco at El Patrón.

I ate the whole thing. My husband had the fajita burrito too with steak tips. Loved it. Salsa to start has a unique smoky hint. Chips were warm. We loved the crushed ice! Also used in delicious margaritas. We were actually going to a different Mexican restaurant across the street but noticed this place--it was curious the restaurant was mostly full at 3:45pm on a Tuesday in August. We are here for a kids golf tournament. None of the patrons appeared to be. We will definitely go back!

The tortilla chips were kind of stale, but the sauces were really good, especially the spicy chipotle. Our entrees were fine. Fajitas were cooked well, but nothing spectacular. Peppers, onions, chicken. The tortillas seemed to be homemade, which was nice. My husband's entree had plenty of shrimp stacked on fried tortilla rounds with cilantro and avocado slices. He said it was good, but maybe lacked seasoning, but acknowledged that he had no previous experience with that particular dish, so it could be just his thoughts The place is pretty small, but that was ok. I was not thrilled with the bathroom sink situation. After using the restroom, it felt awkward to wash my hands in the dining room near other patrons. After snapping and posting the photos, our server changed both TV's to the Maury show. So....the restaurant dining environment basically went down quite a few notches on the family friendly/classy dining scale. Hubby and I ate our meal while guests on the TV yelled and screamed about baby daddies and cheating. Although our meal and the service was decent, we will probably look for another place to dine when we travel through NC.
