I love this place so much. We have gone to the one in Clayton before, this one in Smithfield is equally as good with even better outdoor seating. That’s a huge agave plant! Best queso birria ever. Great drinks. Everything is fresh and home made and they don’t skimp on ingredients at all. It tastes like it was made with love. The El Patron restaurants here locally are a most favorite, in our top 5 places to go on a regular basis. Oh yeah, and I got a piece of tres leches cake to go! I’ll come back with a pic and to share my thoughts on it….
It’s pretty good! I would try their other desserts next time to find that perfect one they make that’s just beyond excellent.

One of my favorite restaurants! The food is always good and the people there are very friendly! We’ve had the pleasure of having Pablo serve us the many times we’ve been there and he is very friendly and beyond excellent with his service! Highly recommended!

We tried El Patrón 323 in Smithfield for the first time, and it did not disappoint! The food came out incredibly fast and everything was absolutely delicious. My wife ordered the queso birria tacos, I went with the Tex-Mex Hawaianos fajitas, and my daughter got her usual ACP. Every single dish was fantastic!
What really stood out was that both my wife and daughter said this is now their new favorite Mexican restaurant—and trust me, they are very picky when it comes to Mexican food. That alone speaks volumes.
On top of the amazing food, the service was some of the best I’ve had in a long time. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of the entire meal.
Highly recommend this place if you’re in Smithfield. We will definitely be back!

Dear hombre Mariscos. Today I took a very special lady to your place. We walked in and were greeted by a very nice guy and were seated on the patio on a beautiful day. I ordered a taco salad and she had some of your tacos. The food was very fresh and delicious. The staff were very nice and on top of everything. We have been here a couple times before and always been happy with your establishment. We did notice the portion sizes a little bit smaller, but that’s to be expected nowadays. But the quality of food is always top-notch. Your place is always on point and we look forward to coming back again. Thanks for a delightful meal.

I had the pleasure of visiting Marisco El Patron while in town and was thoroughly impressed! I ordered the fajita lunch special, which came with three different types of meats served sizzling on a hot skillet – absolutely delicious. My favorite part of the meal was the hot, spicy salsa paired with fresh, crispy chips – a perfect combination!
The atmosphere was fantastic, with a great vibe that made the experience even better. The staff was incredibly fast, friendly, and attentive, constantly checking to make sure I had everything I needed. It’s clear they genuinely care about their customers.
If you’re looking for a place with great food and excellent service, Marisco El Patron is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town!

I got takeout on 8/5/25. The service was very good! The food was very good and fresh!! I got the Quesabirria, it was soooo good!!! I couldn’t save any for later, I ended up eating my whole plate.
My only suggestion is that they give more salsa with the chips. Other than that, all was goood!! I’ll definitely be back!

Wonderful spot to grab a bite to eat with friends or family. Service begins with fresh chips and salsa, and the menu has something for everyone. I had the California Quesadilla and have to say, it was one of the best quesadillas I’ve had in years, and I’m from Arizona where good Mexican food is plentiful! Fast and friendly staff, easy parking, all around an excellent establishment.

This has been one of the best Mexican restaurants we went to. The place was full of good vibes, the waiter was nice and laughed at our bad jokes. The food came out pretty quick and was really good. It tastes fresh. Would recommend.
