El Patron is my favorite Mexican restaurant. I'm Originally from southern Arizona, couple of hours to Mexico City so I know good Mexican food. They have all you can eat buffet weekdays for only $16.99. They have all the good stuff: fajita, tamales,spare ribs, posole, ceviche, chimis and salsa bar. make your own tacos and heavenly desserts! Our server Juanla was very efficient and everyone there was pleasant and smiling. The drinks are also fabulous from the bar. Top notch!

Ate here with my son, DIL, daughter, and niece. Huge establishment, great music, and niiicceee drinks! Our server was excited to learn that my DIL spoke Spanish and they had a little talk. The food was hot, fresh, and arrived in a reasonable time. Located in a shopping Plaza, but good parking. Also, located near a block of hotels.

We were looking for AYCE and this place was an interesting find. We decided to give it a try and my goodness, best decision ever. Taco Tuesday is a must go, we have a few places that make it on our must go to list whenever we are in Orlando and this is now a staple. The service was amazing, the decor is festive and lovely and the food was perfect. We had so much of the buffet that all of our kids and all the adults needed a nap after the meal. Talk about a satisfying restaurant. Birria tacos with queso made to order, all the toppings you can hope for from fresh salsa, cilantro crema, to spicy green mole and buffalo sauces. Absolutely must come here for the Taco Tuesday buffet 11 - 2 you will not regret it. We saw some of the menu items as well and they were very big portions and looked very satisfying as well. For sure we'll be back every year.

Server was very nice and attentive to our needs. Drinks were cold and always full! Burrito was amazing, tacos were great and kids meals were worth the price! Not too loud and music wasn't overbearing.. missed the mariachi band but was clean and we enjoyed our time!

I love this place so much! I make sure I come here everytime I come to town Amazing food and service!!! Make sure you get those chips & salsa!!!

I had a pozole and my husband had a carne asada, the food was full of flavor my personal opinion is that less meat on the pozole and more maíz and veggies but I'm not a big meat eater. But the flavor was amazing. The service was great very friendly personal The team kept checking on us constantly. The ambience was clean quite great place to eat talk and enjoy a great drink.

I loved it! Our waiter was very attentive. Kept our soft drinks filled. We had guacamole as an appetizer and it was very good. We also had tacos on both flour and corn tortillas - birria, fish, grilled shrimp with the side of rice and refried beans. I've had rice and refried beans from many different Mexican restaurants but this by far was the best for me. Their rice was seasoned very nice. I thought all the food was great and fresh. The ambiance is nice too. Definitely a try if you're in the area looking for Mexican. I loved it.

Saw the sign while driving through ORL that it was less than 1/2 mile away and yep we gotta try em' Ordered my Michelada of course with Modelo cerveza-the best to mix it with as the Tajín spices blends well with the Clamato :) We ordered Tacos with various flavors-from the Cabeza (Head) Tripe and the main course- Mole' Pizza from Oaxaca-a native Mexican specialty with the chocolate sauce that is so flavorful-Delicioso! The ambiance was awesome-music was on-point-if it was nighttime I would've probably danced a bit after 2 more Micheladas and a Tequila shot jaja The service was excellent and the staff was quite accomodating and cheerful. (Cinco Estrellas) 5 Stars all way. We arrived after lunchtime around 2PM and there were still lots of amigos getting their meals on. We will definitely be back here at El Patron, now that we have tried it and will try other yummy items on the menu! #GraciasElPatron
