Reviews for EL Patron Authentic Mexican Cuisine #1 in Jacksonville, IL

I got cheesey rice as a side. Per the name, that is usually what all it is. There was no detail or description in the menu book.... However, they put corn in this dish, and I did not notice it at first (it was kind of dark inside). I cannot eat corn.Unfortunately I had to stop eating it, and I was in pain up to 4 days afterwards! They should NOT put corn or any vegetable incheesey rice! I may not go back. Read more

Great micheladas and really good carne asada

This place is great. The starter chips and salsa were on point. Definitely some of the best restaurant salsa I\'ve had. The... entrée was fabulous. And yes those are whole strips of bacon on top of the enchiladas. Absolutely satisfied with every aspectof this visit. Will be back. Read more

This unit of a franchise is in the physical location (from several years ago) of a previous Mexican food establishment. Menus... are similar and decor is only slightly changed. It is, however, a unique establishment with some overlaps but many differenceswith the prior occupant of the space. Overall, I like the food and the prices are reasonable. I did not try the alcoholicservings. Read more

Awesome T-bone and Fajitas. My son had the rellano authetico. They have margaritas specials on Taco Tuesday. Highly recommend.

The food was good everyone that came with me seemed happy with their meal. Definitely will come back.

The service was very good i definitely recommend coming, and if you ever want fo try anything new that the other restaurants... don\'t have i 100 percent recommend El Patrón has a lot of options and it has a different flavor!!!!???? Read more

No exaggeration - best Mexican dish I\'ve ever had. I ordered the Pollo Hawaiian. The chicken is juicy and tender, the ham is... flavorful, the chorizo has a great kick, the pineapple is fresh cut and sweet, and the cheese sauce that covers it all is someof the best I\'ve had. All together its a dish that has a depth of flavor you rarely get in Mexican restaurants.\nMy wifeordered the Enchiladas Don Juan, and she really enjoyed hers as well. Read more
