El Patron 4 Moody

Great service, big portions and the food was amazing. I had the fajitas with pineapple and it was loaded with flavor. Ask for their homemade hot sauce, it has the perfect portion of flavor and heat. The server was very friendly and attentive.

Loved the bright colors on the dining chairs, as well as wall decorations. On arrival, we were seated immediately and drink orders were taken. Drinks arrived quickly and food was brought to table within just a few minutes of placing order. Chips and salsa were brought to us hot and very fresh, as was the cheese dip. I had a taco and two enchilada plate, with refried beans and rice. While I would have liked a bit more meat in the enchiladas, they were very tasty. The taco, was packed with cheese but the meat inside the crunchy shell was very dry. Service was very good, with polite and professional waiter that made sure our glasses were full and we had a great experience. Will definitely go back and would recommend. I am hoping the taco meat was a one time thing, since mine and my wife's meal was otherwise very good.

First time being here, happened to show up during their dinner rush. We ended up waiting a little bit but boy was it worth it. Food was hot, fresh and delicious. Service was nice and totally plan on going again!

Update: Been here so many times now because it's so good. Food is always hot, service is always great even when they're busy. Great food!

Usually don't eat at restaurants that are less than an hour from closing, but I wanted Mexican food and they were the closet that was open. The waiter was not aggravated because we came in later. The food came out fast and good. Excellent customer service!!!! We will go back but at an earlier time!

Love eating at our New Mexican Restaurant

Tried the Birria Tacos and they were wonderful. Tender, slow-roasted beef, flavored with traditional Mexican spices. Outstanding.

The husband had a trio of Tamales and he loved every bite. Traditional tamales covered in a ground beef red sauce.

They haven’t disappointed us yet.

First time there and I was very pleased with every aspect from start to finish. Quality food and very reasonablely price. On of the best Mexican restaurants that I had experienced.

Second visit because my family and I wanted to give it another try. Ordered queso con carne and it was a huge plate of taco meat with a dripping of cheese. My wife ordered a chicken quesadilla and the cheese wasn’t melted and the meat was inedible. My chili Colorado steak had a weird texture and the sauce tasted like ketchup. My son’s two steak tacos came out as hamburger tacos and once we got the waiter from the bar and the tv was replaced with what he ordered steak tacos and the steak was inedible furry and too soft. For this I payed fifty dollars because I don’t like to complain, but we all went to get pizza after. Service was ok but food is absolutely disgusting.

We stop here when passing through or when attending events at Barber Motorsports Park.
Food is consistent on taste! Quesadillas are a favorite. Salsa is chunky with tomatoes and has a good kick to it. My absolute favorite is the steak torta with a tall mug of beer! Wait staff are friendly and prompt with orders.

Worst mexican food we have had in a long time. Don’t waste your money. Orders were wrong, rice was cold, margaritas tasted like water and a plain cheese quesadilla had unmelted grated cheese cooked on a bad tasting greasy grill. Even our 6 year old wouldnt eat the fries because the oil they cooked them in tasted nasty!! Only good thing was the delicious salsa and that was it. Go there if you want bad food. 🫤

When I came in, I was the only black for a few minutes til it started filling up of non-blacks. Guy. Look likes the manager, took my order for steak fajitas and only gave me 2 thin soft shells and no cheese. I had to asked for that. Didn't give me an extra plate to fix my food on and never refilled my glass of water. Was in and out in 15 minutes. Ruined my dinner experience. May not go back.

Wow whatta meal. Chips and dip were fresh. Chips were hot and crisp and dip was fresh and tasty. I got the Texas Chimichanga. Wow. Gentle and tender beef tips with succulent mushrooms and cheese. A nice fashion of flavors mixed just right.. Rice was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Salad was pretty with fresh greens and onions.
Service was top notch. Menu is huge. Allow time to look through it all. Desserts were unbelievable.

The place is beautiful. Color everywhere. Attention to detail is evident. Painted doors and windows are great. Chairbacks are painted beautifully, tables are deep but compeeting TV sets were a bit loud. Everything else was just perfect. Price was less than anticipated. Will be on our regular rotation.

I have been here several times now, they are not close to where I live but when I'm in town I make sure this is a stop. They have amazing food, and the service is very quick. If you are on your lunch break you could comfortably order and take less than 30 mins to place the order eat pay and leave. Great place with good service!
