Real Mexican Flavor Hits Different in Port Jervis

Fresh, boldly seasoned dishes and a staff that genuinely takes care of you, right on US-6.

About Us

Over 1,700 guests have rated El Patron Mexican Restaurant a 4.6 out of 5, and that number doesn't happen by accident. It happens because the kitchen is making salsas from scratch, seasoning the tacos the right way, and sending out plates that taste like someone actually cares what lands in front of you.

Situated on US-6 in Port Jervis, NY, El Patron draws diners from across the tri-state area who are done settling for average. The space handles large groups without making anyone feel like a number, the wait staff pays attention, and dietary needs get taken seriously rather than shrugged off. One regular described the authentic salsas as rich and layered in a way that keeps them coming back week after week.

This is the kind of Mexican restaurant that earns its reputation one lunch and one dinner at a time. If you have never made the drive to 104 US-6, the 15-minute detour you keep putting off is worth it.

What We Offer

El Patron covers every occasion you can throw at it. Dine in for a relaxed sit-down meal and let the full menu do the talking, from perfectly seasoned tacos and loaded burritos to slow-simmered mole and fresh guacamole prepared to order. The portions are generous and the flavors are the real deal.

Need to feed a crowd? The catering service is built for it, whether that means a corporate lunch, a backyard party, or a family celebration that has outgrown the dining room. Food delivery is also available for those nights when Port Jervis traffic wins and you just want great Mexican food at your door.

The kitchen moves quickly without cutting corners, which is exactly why large groups leave satisfied and solo diners keep slipping back in on their lunch breaks.

"We had a wonderful time dining with them. The food was fantastic. We were a large group and we didn't feel rushed and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The wait staff understood my son needed to get up and move around and at times he was in the way, I did my best to mitigate that as much as possible and I didn't feel judged, or put down because of his needs. The staff made it a point to smile and say hello to him. This is what put them over the edge with guest service. Special thank you to the server who picked my son up and made him laugh 😊 you were very sweet and thoughtful. Thanks again!"

"I was craving Mexican food for lunch today, and since El Patron was just 15 minutes away and I had never tried it before, why not give it a shot? Arriving at 1pm, I got a good feeling about the place as there were several (10 or more) people dining there. But the food feeling soon stopped. First impressions: The parking lot and surrounding area had a lot of garbage strewn around, and the lot itself needed some repair. The setting is nice, but the building itself looked a bit ramshackled. The decor inside was typical of most Americanized Mexican restaurants. Service was prompt, and my order came out quickly, but that's where service stopped. I finished my diet coke and wanted another, but spent a majority of my time eating my meal with no refill. The food was okay, but the presentation was sloppy, as if things were just plopped on the plate. It lacked real taste. And the price was a bit high for what it was. El Patron, I hoped for better."

"El Patron is absolutely amazing! The food is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish we tried was delicious—from the perfectly seasoned tacos to the rich, authentic salsas. The portions are generous and everything tastes homemade. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and the service is quick. You can tell they really care about their customers and the quality of the food they serve. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great spot for a casual meal with family or friends. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food with great service, El Patron is definitely the place to go. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!"

"I love this place and the food. Wait staff are all nice. Tables in the middle of the room are a little packed in, but workable. My main issue is the lighting. Way too bright and cold. Needs dimmer, warmer lighting. Otherwise, everything is great.. especially the cocktails. My two favorites are the red sangria and the tamarind margarita! 😁"
