El Patron - Corvallis

This is some pretty good Mexican food! I would consider this place a little more top-tier than some of us other places in Corvallis surrounding it. Food is great, and the drinks are wonderful.

Owner conducts business terribly! Daniel has no integrity! Will never do business with someone like that.

Tasty food and very polite stuff! One of the better options in this area

This place is very large.. parking lot was mostly empty. First thing...they need to get rid of the wood boards! This is what your food will come out on. Food was okay...not exactly what I was looking for on the menu. My very expensive drink tasted horrible...and for some reason they bring the shot that goes in your drink to the table and you pour it in? Get rid of the green onions no one is eating them...just sayin!!

Buyers beware, huge rip off on drinks at El Patron.The restaurant itself is fine, nothing special, basically a worse version of the other Mexican style restaurants in town, but with worse service, and also with a caveat...Ordered a margarita and asked them to upgrade with a better tequila than well...there was no mention that a tequila upgrade would double the cost of the drink. So we were charged $13 for a shot of Altos (lol rip off enough) but then also charged 15.50 for a margarita. Total cost for a one shot margarita using Altos, $28.50. I 'm not getting a poor of Tequila Ley.When we received the bill I asked if they mistakenly added a shot to an existing drink, the server explained that, no, it was 13 for the tequila and 15 for the lime juice and ice. LOLI mean if they made a well drink that would be 15 that included the booze and then an extra shot at 13, or does a well margarita come without it? So goofy.He said he doesn 't like to explain the scam to customers ahead of time because they usually balk, or complain. Instead I guess it 's easier to disguise it and hope no one notices?Then he blames the owner, although it 's supposedly a family operated establishment. Super goofy.Sorry ownership, poor training, poor execution, complete rip off 30 bucks for a one shot margarita at a very not high end restaurant is beyond laughable.There will be no repeat visit, ever. Good luck.
