Located at 316 White Oak Road, Suite 101, El Patron brings a slice of authentic Mexican cooking to Fredericksburg with warm hospitality and vibrant flavors. 

First Impressions & Atmosphere

The setting strikes a balance between casual and inviting—a family-owned spot with friendly service and fast table turnarounds. When I first walked in I was blown away by the welcoming atmosphere, smiles, and colorful tables. 

Starters: Chips, Salsa & Margaritas

Unlimited fresh chips and salsa are always a notable highlight. The Salsa while always tasty, it didn't blow my socks off or anything, there was nothing really special about it. The queso is creamy and cheesy, also delicious. I was disappointed at the fact that El Patron only offers pepsi products but I can overlook that when the food and drinks are amazing. El Patron Has a ton of Margarita options. I always go for anything “large and Frozen”. The Drinks are large, strong, and a great bang for your buck…. I haven't had one I didn't Like yet. $15 is considered reasonable for the size.
