Reviews for El Patron North in Albuquerque, NM
Normally I have really good things to say about this place. I've always enjoyed their food and their service. However, my last... visit was the worst I was on my lunch. I ordered online. When I went to pick it up, I was told that they're online system wasdown for some reason and that my order never came through, which I understand technical difficulties. However, the young man hadtold me that he would just write down my order and that I could come back for it in about 15 minutes. So I waited the 15 minutesin 15 minutes. Turn to 30 minutes 30 minutes. Turn to 45 minutes and no one ever came to tell me that they were not going tomake my food because apparently in order for the chef to make the food a ticket has to be put in and nobody ever put in theticket. Meanwhile, both servers there walked back and forth and not once telling me anything. Needless to say I didn't get lunchthat day and when I asked for a manager they gave me the manager's number what she responded to me right away. She said that shewould call me back and of course I never got that call Read more
I went there a week ago to grab a quick bite. My friend got there first and was seated in one of the outside tables. There were... menus and utensils, so I assume one of the servers seated him there, meaning they knew we were there. We waited for 20 minutesbut no server came by to check on us or even give us a glass of water. My friend even went in to tell them we were ready but wenever got served. After more than 20 min of waiting, we just left. There were some people in the outside seating area, butpretty empty inside. We even saw a few servers walking by but none checked on us. Quite disappointing. Probably never go thereagain. Read more
I Had a shredded beef and potato burrito Christmas style inside and it was ready by the time I got there. I had a side of rice... as well but I denied it upon arrival due to the fact at how watery it looked. The waitress who served me was very hospitable andmade sure I was taken care of and provided me with everything I needed I even got some chips and salsa on the side and a glassof water courtesy of her at no additional cost. The burrito was really good and the chips were fresh. Much smaller then thelocation on Montgomery but service and food was just as good other than the rice. Thank you all again. Read more
Ordered shrimp tacos for $15 and this is what was provided. Three popcorn size shrimp on a corn tortilla. This is subpar by... all standards. Read more
For my husband and I this was our first time at El Patron, the service was excellent, the food was delicious, and price was... good. The most delicious margaritas I've had in a long time. Had so much to eat, the plates came to the table heaping full. Wewere both very happy and pleased. It was Saturday afternoon at 3:30, we had a wonderful time. We will most definitely comeback!!! Thank you for a wonderful afternoon!! Read more
This place is legit. Best kept breakfast secret in Albuquerque. They have a great menu of handheld burritos for the drive thru,... but their dine in options are reasonably priced and fantastic. And a full bar, if you?re into that sort of thing. 2$drafts onMondays and 2$ Taco Tuesdays. Read more
This was my first time eating here I kept seeing it as a suggestion for those who were asking what was a go to after the balloon... Fiesta so we decided to try it out. It wasn't bad at all especially for the price! We got there before 10am so the plates we gotwere actually on a menu that was priced different if it was before 10am so for the two of us...one got huevos Rancheros with redchile and the other got a breakfast stuffed sopapilla both of us drank water so in total it was only $18 which was great! Eventhough the wait was a but longer then expected but considering that they do have a drive thru as well it wasn't too too bad! Thechips and salsa was really good! Definitely would go again maybe for lunch or dinner the next time! The staff was pretty nice,the restaurant was clean so was the restroom which is always a plus! El patron bottles as the light shade looked super cool aswell! Definitely would recommend it as well! Read more
