Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

The service here is fast (not very friendly, but fast at least) and the food is cheap. Not the best Mexican restaurant in town, but it'll do. They do use a lot of lettuce fillers though so actual food portion is small (at least those entrees i've ordered).

I came here for the cheap margaritas and tasty Mexican food. I feel like I got one out of two. Cheap margaritas in an assortment of flavors, not so tasty Mexican food. I got enchiladas with mole sauce and the sauce was VERY sweet and did not mesh well with the enchiladas. The hot salsa was incredibly spicy, but lacked flavor. It was like chili oil. Service was decent. I would be willing to give it another try though. Maybe try the fajitas, one of the people I was with got them and they looked pretty awesome.

My wife and I arrived about 7:15pm. We were sat immediately and our waiter appeared shortly after. He took our drink order and dropped off chips, salsa, and I believe a spicy sour cream dip. The drinks arrived quickly and he took our food order. The chips are thick and they were good as was the salsa. We weren't sure about the sour cream stuff. My wife ordered the steak fajitas and I ordered the Carne Asada tacos. And then we waited....and waited....and waited....it took about a half hour or more for our food to arrive. My wife ordered hers with no lettuce and no guacamole. They serve those items with the beans and rice. The plate arrived with both and she told the waiter who said he would take care of it. He was back quickly with a "new" plate on which they had just removed the wrong stuff and replaced it with sour cream. We were unimpressed. Also not too many of the items come with cheese. My wife had to ask for a side of shredded cheese. The Carne Asada was seasoned ok and there was plenty of vegetables and meat on the fajitas. The beans were very runny. Overall it was just an average experience. The I don't think we'll go back. We will stick with Abuelo's. Maybe your experience will be better?

Do not let the rough exterior of the building fool you. We received excellent food and service when we went there. The menu was quite extensive and even included a vegetarian section. I ordered one of the vegi combos which included a quesadilla , tostada, and enchilada. The quesadilla was good (although thats pretty hard to screw up), the tostada was especially yummy with super fresh and green lettuce, a delightful guacamole, cheese and beans. The sauce over the enchilada was tasty and not too over powering the beans inside which were perfect. I always judge a mexican restaurant by the beans and salsa and this place gets a 5 star on both those fronts. Yum Yum!!! My husband ordered the veggie Fajitas and it was so huge that we really could have shared it and plan to do that next time. The seasoning was spot on and the veggies were cooked to perfection. Carrots, bell peppers, brocoli, onions, potatoes and more were included in the mix. There was a ton of onions and green peppers but their was also a ton of all the rest of the veggies so that made up for it. My boys split a kids menu item of a quesadilla and fries and were very happy with it. The wait staff was all extremely attentive, friendly, and informative. We were going to order just two meals and share with the boys (they are only 1 and 3 years old) but the waiter informed us that kids meals were free on Sundays and urges us to take advantage of the deal. The refilled our drinks and checked several times to make sure we were doing good and had everything we needed. I generally felt that they appreciated the business and worked hard to please us, Im a happy customer and cant wait to go back and try out the Lunch Menu!!! I'm really puzzled as to why the other reviews are so poor for this place, maybe the meat options aren't as good but the veggie ones are great!!

Walked in and immediately seated outside. It's 82 degrees. Lime and a strawberry margaritas in 3 minutes. Chips/salsas and ranch in 5. Stuffed poblano and a burrito in 10 minutes. All very very good! Highly recommend this place. Courteous and intuitive staff. We will be back.

Great food and great service. I like going I. Friday nights, they have a Mexican band they play very good music great selection. Last time they had two players and they also played other music. It was a lot of fun went with a group and plenty of margaritas so tasty. I like all the dishes especially their rice.
(5)Jeremiah A. C.
Service was fine. They were very quick and attentive. The food, however, was not the best tasting or eye appealing.

El Patrons fajitas for two enough food for 3 to share and still take some home. Very attentive service, food has always been nothing but incredibly tasty.
(5)Stephanie B.
Very friendly and accommodating, with good beer options and an extremely extensive menu. They even have horchata, which is great. The food was quite tasty. I would have been more impressed if they had a real margarita, though, instead of the usual mix -- so I stuck with Negra Modelo (which is delicious). Also, I know there were seven of us and it can be like herding cats to get groups to order in a timely manner -- but there is a big difference between efficiency and rush rush. That won't hold me back from a repeat visit, though, because on the bright side -- service was very fast!!

Wonderful Mole that is very authentic. This is hard to achieve but it is done extememly well at El Patron. Carne tacos were also top notch. I really liked the rice. The flavor was fresh with many layers of seasoning. Margaritas were killer! Prices and services the best we've encountered in years. It was so nice to be greeted warmly and then served outstanding food. Thank you Antonio and the staff at El Patron!

It's a shame when the best thing I can say is it was clean and well lighted. The reviewer that said "mediocre" was, in my experience, more than kind. While I'd love to find good Mexican food in the area, I can't even call this good Americanized Mexican. It's just plain bad. Thinking I might have been mistaken the first time...every place has a bad day...I went back. The food was just as bad, but time the service was I inattentive as well.

Best Mexican I've had in the area by a longshot.

Went for dinner with my husband. We both had Fajitas, I had the Veggie, he had the El Patron. We were blown away by the amount of food we got. The veggies were fresh and the entire meal was good. We also have enough leftovers for at least one more meal. Service was good and the place was pretty busy.

El Patron has become a frequent hang out for my family and friends, from Ladies night out, birthdays, or just a night out for a fantastic dinner. Their drinks are amazing and extra large in size, if it is your birthday, they will put you in a sombrero, serenade you, and provide you with a tequila shot, if over 21 of course. During warmer weather, they have live music on their outdoor patio. Chips and salsa, served along with a unique spicy ranch type dipping sauce is something different. Specific wait staff are designated just for keeping the chip basket full with warm crisp chips. We always order a side of con queso, which is authentic Mexican melted white cheese, not the Velveeta and rotel dip served at most other Mexican restaurants. The menu selections are vast, providing a wide range of choices, including chicken, beef, and seafood meals. My favorite are the many varieties of fajitas, sizzling hot when served at the table, and with loads of vegetables that are still crisp and flavorful. They also have a great variety of deserts to finish off your meal, if your stomach still has room, I recommend the fried ice cream, or flan.

My wife and I went there for the first time last night. They seemed to be doing well. We were sat immediately and were acknowledged by the waiter. We were not that hungry so we split the Nachos El Patron. The menu says it comes with the following: Chips, Cheese, Beans, Chicken, Beef, Lettuce, Tomato, Guacamole. We ordered it without beef and with cheese only on half since my wife cannot eat dairy. The food was brought in a timely manner. Cheese was only on half. Okay. No lettuce, No tomatoes. No Beans. No Guac. And the chicken was cold! I called the waiter and he took it back. When he brought it back, they only added the lettuce to it. No three strikes here! We will never go back there again. And this really is a shame since our favorite food is Mexican!!

I've driven by this place several times since it opened, and tonight I finally stopped in to give it a whirl. This place is located in the old Pancake Cafe building, which was a dine-in Pizza Hut before that. The ambiance is pretty ok, and someone is definitely a talented painter when it comes to the murals. The staff is comprised of some young people who seem very friendly and are working hard. The prices are average, nothing too outrageous. However, none of these simple pleasantries make up for the incredibly mediocre food. Our dinner was VERY underwhelming, and VERY small portioned. They used melted Monterrey jack on all the dishes, which was oh so creamy and disgusting! Yay! Sun Prairie has yet to acquire a really good Mexican restaurant. The sad thing is, I didn't even really care all that much for Taqueria Guadalajara down on Park St in Madison, however, in terms of flavor and presentation Taqueria blows El Patron away big time.

I just had my thrid meal here, the food is VERY good... I just don't know if i will go back... which sucks cause i like the food... so they have signs all over.... 1/2 price maragritas thursday with several brands of tequilla listed underneath that sign saying all are 1/2 off... so i ask for a patron margarita and he says just house is half off.................sign clearly states otherwise, i point this out and the waiter all of a sudden has a hard time understanding english??? Not cool for me.. i did not get a margy... and am sad i had a bad experience here.

I had the pleasure of stopping by El Patron one wet Tuesday evening. The place was dead, which was ok with me. As we walked in were greeted by 3 people at the hostess station. They sat us down and brought out some very good chips and salsa. I ended up ordering the Quesadilla Rellena. It was good and it came with one beef Quesadilla and one chicken Quesadilla, The beef one was a bit greasy for my tastes but the chicken one was excellent. My fiance ordered some El Patron dish I don't even know what it was called. It looked almost like enchiladas maybe? It was very tasty. Service was good and they brought food out rather quickly. Prices seemed fair and they even have an offer in the Bucky Book. We would make the drive from Middleton to Sun Prairie for this place, again.

I dreaded having to do this someday, but I feel it's my duty to warn others that the food here is pretty disappointing. Won't go into detail about my subjective opinion of the quality, just avoid it. If the owners read this, I'd be happy to give fair, honest feedback on how they missed the mark. I give 5 stars to the style/color and the addition of a deck. Speaking Spanish was helpful when ordering and helping convey that my brother is allergic to dairy. The waiter appreciated it and my brother initially felt at ease. I'll probably go back for margs and modelo on tap cuz they do have pretty good prices on them.
