El Patrón Downtown Riverside -Food CA (Near Riverside)

4 /5 Patricia Diaz: I was here for brunch. No wait at 1100am. Its a nice, clean place. Food is decent, standard Mexican food menu. I had the chilaquiles with chili verde and was satisfied. The salsa was very good. The service was very good. Our waiter was attentive and kept our mimosas filled! 4 stars for value. The price of the food was average$20, but the added $25 pp for bottomless mimosas was unusual, Imo. Other bottomless options were margaritas, bloody Marys and other juice options for the champagne were pineapple and cranberry juice. The server added a bit of dry ice for a fun smokey effect!

1 /5 Josue Zepeda: Worst Mexican Food Experience in Riverside – Avoid at All Costs! I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at El Patron in Riverside was beyond disappointing. The food took an outrageous 45 minutes to arrive after I ordered, and when my party showed up and placed their orders, theirs was just as delayed. When the food finally came, the quality was absolutely terrible – bland, poorly prepared, and definitely not worth the wait. On top of that, the prices are ridiculously high for what you get. To make matters worse, the atmosphere was nothing like a restaurant – they had blaring music like it was a nightclub, making it nearly impossible to enjoy any conversation. This is hands down the worst place I’ve ever eaten Mexican food. I would not recommend it to anyone. There are far better spots in Riverside that respect your time, your money, and your taste buds.

4 /5 MarvinTheMartian: Went for the happy hour. Margaritas were delicious and very affordable. Their happy hour food menu was pretty affordable. Highly recommend.
