★★★★☆ 4.0 Cam “Camwitthecam” · Jul 2023

Took a trip to Atlantic city & I was devastated at how the vid closed so many businesses. In my search of open restaurants I found El Patron. The atmosphere was very relaxed, service took a bit longer than expected but the staff was very kind & attentive when they were present. Taco's were on point though drinks were a little pricey but I'll definitely visit again next time I'm in Atlantic city

★★★★☆ 4.0 Nick W · Oct 2025

Im not spanish so its a little hard to communicate and they dont really do take out, and the blaring music definitely caters to a specific crowd... but good lord the food is good. The waitresses that do speak English are super polite and helpful. The carnitas are some of the best around. They REALLY need to get a delivery driver or pickup line going because this place could be making double what it is now. So foods amazing, atmosphere is not my cup of tea but might be great for others, sorely missing the ability to do take out over the phone or Uber eats

Billiards is $12 per hour. $10 per white ball and $2 per game The menu is scratched off The service is slow No white rice available The sauce and pina colada is watery.

★★★★★ 5.0 Sam Hoang · Jun 2019

Awesome place!! My family and I were so glad that this place opened late for dinner. The waitress was very nice and the food came out at a decent pace as well. The beef was amazing. It went very well with the sauce and the cactus.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Gerardo Carpio · Jul 2018

We arrived for an late lunch/early dinner at around 2 pm. The place was almost empty except for another table of 4. There were about 6 tables that were filled with glasses and plates with leftover food from previous guests. There were a couple of flies The place was warm because they did not have the AC on even tho it was 95 F out. I ordered a frozen margarita and it was very good however the food was not as good as expected. The grilled steak my mom ordered was salty and not cooked medium as requested. It was not cooked on a grill as advertised and was pan seared. The chicken fajita I ordered was a very generous portion but it lacked flavor.
