reviews state bad food and bad service! I went to see myself of what the deal was really about- and to see the results- it was pure shock- many people come with hate- service was fast, and don’t get me started on the food- It was like heaven- it was a good change- and the people took their time with the food and it was good!! if you want good Mexican food I really think this is the place. I’ve went a few times now- and there’s a 99.9% chance YOU will like it. The owner is so nice- often being so friendly and polite with customers- and with people saying service is bad- IT IS NOT!! the people in the front are sooo kind. i recommend tacos- Ive got em a few times- AND IT IS SOOO GOOOD- and to mention- the people are always smiling- working so hard, and they never fail! I hope that people can start seeing the beauty in this place- thank you! Kudos to the owner for the awesome food and service and making the best experience for everyone!

I love their Fajita Salad! Crispy bowl and delicious filling! Highly recommend! I’m not a huge fan of the burritos but nothing touches the Fajita Salad!

I tried…I really tried with this place. I was alone for a few hours, and I drove past this establishment on my way to another one…I should’ve kept driving!! I ordered the 4 Street Taco special, chicken, with everything (cilantro, onions, and sauce), and The 2 ground beef tacos, beans, and rice special and the Strawberry Jarrito. Where to start!? The tortillas were cold and greasy, the 3 toppings were spaced haphazardly, and the chicken was BLAND and unflavored, almost full-on white, and dry. I tried to eat them but just couldn’t. Not even the bottled hot sauce could rescue the meal. I switched to the 2 tacos, beans, and rice… hoping to salvage my dinner. WRONG! Again, cold tortillas, greasy ground beef, cheese that couldn’t melt, and again… complete lack of ANY flavor. I couldn’t, in good faith, even choke it down. Even the 3 CFD personnel sitting next to me made comments about the lack of flavor. I finished my soda and left unfulfilled. While the business was brisk with customers, I feel they only come here because it’s the only Mexican restaurant on this side of Chico. This is the most lackadaisical Mexican restaurant in town. Avoid it like the plague, and visit any other restaurant in town…Please!? Your wallet and stomach will thank you.

Best nachos ever! Used to live in Chico and after 17 years of being gone, came back, ordered same nachos and not a thing changed! Taste acually brought back soo many memories! Something about the thick chips and shredded chicken and that nacho cheese they use.. Sooo good!

Friendly staff. Clean restaurant. Excellent food that tasted fresh. I got two ground beef tacos; one hard shell, one soft shell.
The tacos were so good that I went back for two more.
The green sauce on top is avocado salsa.

Was lunchtime and place was quiet, I ordered the fish taco plate for $10.99 and a drink 3.99. When I got my plate, I was expecting more than 1 taco for the price.

Ordered delivery and it was wrong a few times. To correct a delivery order you must go to the restaurant. I order delivery because I am a care giver to my husband and can’t leave the house. I won’t patronize this restaurant again.

Everything was delicious, we had four people in our group and we all got something different, everyone was very happy with their whole meal.
I got chicken fajitas and added extra veggies, a little salty, but so delicious

This is my second time eating from El Patron. The first time fell flat; no add ins on my burrito that I paid for, blandish flavors, just disappointing but it was a HUGE portion.
This time I’m thoroughly impressed. We got two orders of the 4 for $6 street tacos, chicken and pork. Super good, large portions of meat, well seasoned, hot, fresh and tasty. There’s enough left over for lunch and maybe even dinner tomorrow. If it survives the midnight munchies.
The only down side was the “mild” salsa. It would be considered medium hot in most restaurants. It’s definitely not kid friendly mild salsa.
Will definitely be back for another Taco Tuesday!

False advertisement no menudo, and the waitress has a bad attitude
