A variety of delicious Mexican meal options and a great family friendly atmosphere are the notable plus points for this restaurant. Conveniently located just miles from interstate I-4 the location is in a large shopping plaza with plenty of parking. We loved the appetizer platter as well and we highly recommend this place for dinner or lunch!

My wife and I have decided that this is one of our favorite Mexican restaurants ithat we have tried. We've been to dozens of Mexican restaurants in Arizona, Texas, etc and we decided that this is one of our must go to when we're in town! On week days, they have an all you can eat buffet (including desserts) and everything was top notched. We tried the tri-tip, which is not my favorite cut, but here, it was so tender, you can cut it with a fork. Of course, they had plenty of my favorites (Pazole, Chicken Tamales, a great Chicken stew) and plenty more to sample at the buffet. Our server, Carolina was the nicest and helpful person and plied us with Flan and Churros. We really haven't flown down to Florida in a while, but after a refresher meal Patron's, we will be flying back soon!

⭐ Review: El Patrón – Orlando We visited El Patrón here in Orlando, and wow — what an amazing experience. They offer an all-you-can-eat from 11 to 2, and the food is truly authentic Mexican cuisine at its best. There’s a bit of everything, fresh flavors, generous portions, and that homemade touch that makes you feel like you’re actually in Mexico. If you’re a real coffee lover, you’re going to be obsessed. Their espresso is outstanding — rich, bold, and truly satisfying. And the desserts… delicious! Their churros are perfect: crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, sweet without being overwhelming. The place is beautiful and full of natural light, giving it a warm, inviting vibe. Our server was incredible — she carried what looked like 10,000 heavy plates on one tray with the grace and balance of someone from Cirque du Soleil. A performance all on its own. In short: 100% recommended. Exceptional food, fantastic service, and a beautiful atmosphere. Looking for a great spot to eat in Orlando? ✨ Save this post for your next lunch date and check out El Patrón — you’re going to love it. #OrlandoFoodie #ElPatronOrlando #AllYouCanEat #MexicanFood #OrlandoEats #FoodReviews

The customer service was absolutely amazing Valentina was so friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great time. The food was absolutely delicious everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can really taste the love and authenticity in every bite. To top it all off, they surprised me with a special birthday dessert, which made the evening extra memorable. They even had someone taking professional photos for souvenirs, which was such a fun and unique touch that made the night even more special.
