Based in a three-story, 8,000-square-foot historic train station dating back to the early 1900s, El Patron Restaurant is a lively eatery that serves hearty, traditional Mexican cuisine in a vibrant atmosphere. Celebrating his native Mexico, owner Jose Hernandez transformed the old train station into the charming restaurant it is today, featuring wooden tiled floors imported from Tonala, pine wheel sconces, rustic chandeliers, and granite bar counters. The Mexican-inspired menu features favorite dishes such as Carne Asada, Molcajete, Costa Azul, Camarones a Mojo de Ajo, and Grande Burrito, and the cuisine is accompanied by a wide range of libations including casual wines from around the world, craft beers and microbrews on tap, and classic cocktails made with top-shelf spirits. El Patron Restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, Tuesday through Sunday.
