El Patron on Central Avenue Albany, NY is a very pleasant establishment 😎The wait staff were very attentive & very friendly. The drinks 🍹were delicious. The food 🥘was amazing. I had enough to take home. Definitely a place to go yet, make sure it is before dark, due to the location 😳. Muchas gracias El Patrón Albany, NY

Me and my family visited here for lunch . Right of the bat we all noticed the decorations . It was very eye catching, colorful, and have a great representation for Mexican culture . The service and staff here is very nice and we were tended to right away. The food here was delicious! Would totally come again.

The decor in this restaurant is very unique as it was formally a church. Luckily there wasn’t a wait and we were able to get promptly seated for dinner. The server was very attentive and nice. I ordered the Quesadillas Texanas and it was very good - I just wish it came with rice and beans for the price.

I’m giving El Patron Mexican Grill and Cantina one whole star just for the spot it’s in. I don’t know what this building was originally meant to be, but the stained glass windows are giving a definite church vibe, while the topless ladies 1920s frescoes still up at both ends of the main dining room are more “Grand Central Station” vibes. There are plenty of existing interior Art Deco 1920s elements. It’s a REALLY NICE space. The decent sized bar is at the back of the space. The exterior has a GREAT, bright paint scheme (oranges and blues - FUN!). Disclosure: I don’t eat beef, pork or poultry.
