The restaurant is great. The staff is friendly, we actually had dinner there both nights we were staying in Hemet. The food was so good and very reasonably priced.

We ordered the combo fajita platter, shrimp enchiladas, and side of guacamole. The shrimp and chicken fajitas were very good, but the beef was not. The meat tasted like it had not been seasoned or marinated; it was tasteless and chewy. However, the grilled veggies that came with the shrimp enchiladas were outstanding. The salsa, guacamole, and chips were fresh... More

We went here for Sunday brunch. Got there just a short while after they opened. No one was covering the buffet to make fresh tortillas or waffles for at least an hour after we got there. Waitress was more interested in serving and cleaning dishes for a table of 8 than she was for our table of 2. Had to... More

My husband and I have visited MANY restaurants in Hemet and San Jacinto. El Patron is by far among the top 3 in the area. The servers are attentive and friendly, Lety is particularly gracious and welcoming. The food is exceptional with generous portions. The selection of lunch specials is great. Most are under $7.00. The atmosphere is warm and... More

The best food, prepared quickly & served hot & fresh. Even special orders, they're very accommodating. Large portions, never have room for dessert. BTW, excellent flan. Special attention was given to our needs (physically disabled) Fantastic margaritas, all at great prices. Warm chips served with frijoles & salsa. Clean dining area, music not too loud, very friendly staff, ample parking,... More

Not only did they forget my sons food, they kept getting everything wrong! I asked for a salad with the dressing on the side and when I get the salad there's a lot of dressing ON the salad. One of the ladies that worked there was just a total B***h the whole time we were there. It took awhile for... More
