I always get their red enchiladas, yum! The margaritas are good too. They have a gluten free menu, ask for it! The chips they bring to the table are NOT safe, but one time I had a server volunteer to bring me some fresh baked (not fried!) tortilla chips to eat salsa with. Above and beyond!

The menu did not indicate what was gluten-free, but our server was knowledgeable about what was available to me. He even double-checked with the bar tender to make sure their house margaritas were gluten free when I asked him to. The chips are fried in the same oil as the sopapitas, so those with celiac will not be able to enjoy the free chips and salsa. I do not have symptoms with small amounts of gluten, so I cannot say for sure if the food was gluten-free.I had shrimp tacos, and others had fish tacos. Great food. Great margaritas. Great atmosphere. I'm usually disappointed with food when I eat out, so this is saying a lot.

We ate here with my daughter who has Celiacs and they did a wonderful job. The food was amazing, they were able to accommodate no cross contamination and went out of their way to tell us what she could and couldn’t have

Great service - gluten free menu and very knowledgeable. The host noticed that we had been served the regular chips (not gf, no dedicated fryer) and offered to make us gf chips on the grill! Great food!

El Patron has a gluten free menu, just ask your server. They do NOT have a separate fryer, so watch out for the chips and other fried food. The food overall is fantastic, and this is one of my favorite places to eat. The weight stafff is friendly, and helpful.
