    This was our first visit, the food was great especially the pork fajitas and the Hawaiian pineapple fajitas. Service was exceptional. Fun vibrant atmosphere.

    First impression was that it was a little crowded in the entryway while waiting for a table. No place to sit while waiting, and standing around in front of seated guests can be a little uncomfortable for some. But once seated, the food is worth the wait. Also, a good value for the money.

    Well we got there they didn't have our table just yet and I reserved it over the phone then they finally got us a table but I told them I was waiting on some others just pulled in to come in the restaurant and came back in they gave our table away to some one else. Then had to wait once again on our other table.

    I use to live in Salisbury and fell in love with this place. Now I live in the Raleigh area and there isn't a place here that meets El Patron's standards for Mexican food. So my family and I occasionally drive the two hours to eat here. The food is THAT good. It is where I announced my pregnancy and later, it was my daughter's first trip to eating out. El Patron's is family. Service is always amazing. And our last server, Ian, was top notch!

    Food was average to upper mid level typical american Mexican cuisine. A few more traditional offerings that make it a step above such as the fried plantains. We had a very large group with us and the single poor waitress we had had a bit of difficulty keeping everything straight. She did a great job with so many but may have been suited to having two waitress just relieve some of the burden. Overall a decent Mexican restaurant.

    Salisbury's only current restaurant found on OpenTable! My husband and I have been coming here for years since the doors opened and long before we discovered OpenTable. We are never disappointed and the food is always fresh! Some of my favorite items and must tries: Patron Guacamole prepared at table, Organic Margaritas, Chicken and Shrimp Mojo de Ajo, Fish Tacos, the pineapple Chorizo dish. From the salsa to the pico de gallo, their food is never boring. Some great personnel there too. Kudos to George, George Jr and Juan. Great people.
