"My recent experience at El Patron Authentic Mexican Restaurant left much to be desired. Despite their claim to authenticity, the absence of fresh jalapeños with our meals was disappointing. Even more so, all four dishes we ordered were accompanied by pickled jalapeños, a glaring departure from the norm among authentic Mexican eateries in Memphis. Additionally, the cheese used in their dishes didn’t resemble anything close to authentic Mexican cheese. It’s perplexing how a restaurant can brand itself as “authentic” when it fails to uphold the most fundamental aspects of Mexican cuisine. Overall, my dining experience was a letdown, and I wouldn’t recommend El Patron to those seeking genuine Mexican flavors."
