Taqueria El Patron: Authentic Mexican Flavors in Augusta, GA

Best Mexican food in Augusta! The only bummer is that they don't serve alcohol. However, their food and service makes up for it.

If you grew up on authentic food , this is where you should be eating. There is too much good food to single 1 dish out .

Very friendly atmosphere, gracious service and the food was wonderful (we had the mixed fajitas).

I came here based on the reviews. I'm glad I did. The first thing that stuck our were the affordable prices quickly followed by how big the burrito was. You couldn't even wrap/fold it! It was like a giant taco! Lastly was how tasty the food was. I got the fajita burrito. It was very good. I had planned on saving 1/2 for later, but I ate it all before I knew it. The service was neither fast nor slow. I got the food to go but everyone I interacted with was friendly. The ambiance was casual but clean.

Food was awesome. I had the molcajete and it was so flavorful. Really authentic home cooked style.

This was actually our first time dining here and we absolutely loved the experience. I ordered out once a while ago, but today was a totally different experience. My daughter stated she gives them a 20 out of 10. When we arrived they weren't busy but the crowd started shortly after. The establishment was very clean and chill. Our server was so sweet and the food was amazing! We ordered a large cheese dip for the table. My son and I are fans of empanadas and wr orders chicken and beef. I would have preferred cheese in mine and a little more seasoning in the beef. But, no worries, I added the cheese dip on top. My son and I also had the Burrito Grande with chicken; soooo good. My daughter had the Pizza Birria and it was delicious. She stated it was the best she's had and trust me she's had her share. My husband had the quesadilla el patron. For drinks, I started off with the Pineapple Aguas Frescas but traded it for the Mango one. The mango was better. My son had the fruit punch Jarrito, my daughter had the mango as well, and my husband had the Horcheta. Needless to say, we will return. This is probably our favorite now!

We love this place!! Sunday dinners at el patron are always the move. The atmosphere is always lively. Service is SO fast like we literally had our food in minutes. They don't serve alcohol, but honestly that is part of the charm. It helps keep it more local and less touristy. Great soda and dessert selection as well!!

I think we'll be regulars here forever. My kids refuse to eat anywhere else when we talk about options to eat out. All of their meat is delicious, the salsas are still our favorite and will buy them to-go because I cannot recreate it still. The meal for our whole family is still very affordable and doesn't compare in taste to any other Mexican establishment in Augusta. The staff has always been kind and helpful. The restaurant itself is clean and has lots of seating. It's seems to be consistently busy but, room to be seated/served.

Yummy authentic menu, delicious food, great service & clean establishment! We all liked everything about our experience here today. The staff was friendly, the food did not take long to come out and was fresh to order, even though the restaurant was packed when we got there. Our meals were packed with food flavor, leaving our bellies full with satisfaction. Not to mention, I loved the colorful art on the furniture and walls. Our server was a sweet young lady who took very good care of our table. Quick tip: they don't serve alcohol. It might just be a Sunday thing, but that was the only thing we didn't expect. Call us whatever you want, but we are used to having that option back home in SC. My shrimp quesadilla appeared to be a little skimpy on the shrimp, but one I tasted it, it was so delicious and honestly just enough shrimp in there to be very satisfied. Even the beans and rice served with my quesadilla were very good! My son loved his quesadilla mexicana with beef and my husband ate all of his chuletas with a big smile on his face. My youngest son scarfed down his cheese quesadilla and couldn't have been happier about his meal if he tried. Truthfully, this place feels authentic and they serve a lot of authentic Mexican meals too. I definitely want to come back again. Even the house-made salsa was delicious! The salsa verde was very flavorful and the spicy salsa had very good flavor too.
