El Patron Mexican Grill: A Taste of Authentic Mexican Cuisine in Gaylord, MI

Amazing place! Our order was delivered super fast and hot. I had server Chance and he was super kind. Checked on us regularly and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was top notched. We had the Chury special with extra sauce and it was delicious. The chicken was well seasoned and the rice was cook just right. I am beyond happy with our experience and look forward to coming back!

What a hidden gem in a small town! The chips and salsa were amazing, and my Carne Asada tacos were tasty and had little fat. Rice was also quite nice along with the beans! Al Pastor tacos were amazing too! I highly recommend this place!

Had street tacos Al Pastor and fish tacos. Both were very good. Get the corn soft shells. The rice was excellent Chips and salsa were ok. The generic margaritas were a tad sweet. Next time I would have them make it from scratch or get a floater on top.

This food was amazing. The presentation was excellent. The wait staff was awesome. This was a great choice!

Food was wonderful, memorable and we bought an extra burrito to go before leaving for lunch the next day. The food quality is definitely worth the detour! Service was polite, professional and pleasant. However, it felt too fast. Food arrived within 5 minutes of ordering it, dessert was served while one of the member of the group hadn't finished its main course yet. It felt like we were expected to be gone quickly and that customer shouldn't stay more than 30 minutes. Serving too fast could lead to the impression that food is not made for order and prepared ahead of time. If I choose a restaurant that is not fast food, I expect to be able to relax, take time and enjoy the experience, not rushed out. Restaurant was not full and there was not a line outside so I didn't understand the rush. However, staff was nice and welcoming and the food will be positively remembered for a long time! I do not regret going there and will for sure be back!

Stopped in on a Saturday night with the family(7 of us including some children). Was so impressed with this place, from the moment we walked in and to the last few bites of dessert. Not only might this restraunt be the best looking in Gaylord, but the best tasting as well (and we've eaten all over Gaylord). The Mexican flavor was amazing(a rarity of up north Michigan), even better than what I can find down state. Highly recommend eating here! Nachos were perfect, tacos on point, salsa to die for, fabulous fajitas, beautiful molcajete, lovely drinks, heavenly warm churros, even the rice and pico was brilliant!! Will be back!... Special shout out to out waiter Jesus. You rock!

Amazing service! Delicious food. Only complaint is it is not very wheelchair friendly. Ample parking in the back but the entrance is super tough to navigate the 2 doors (especially the swinging doors), also the bathrooms could not be used with a wheelchair so I had to fake my son out to the van to be changed. Still will return because the food was amazing! They even accommodated for my gluten and dairy allergies!

Nice restaurant a long the main street. The atmosphere of decor and music catches your attention. Banquet room also under one roof. The food was excellent . Flavor's popped on your taste buds. $9-$40. Waiter attended our need's well. Will be going back to try new dishes
