El Patron - Albany

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.

Large selection of Mexican food on the menu. And drinks. Festive atmosphere though a bit noisy.

I love this restaurant. It's always a good time. Great food. I would recommend trying the Pollo Fundido dish that you will not regret it! The waiters and waiters are nice and friendly. There are also daily specialties.

We had a great meal here! The room is beautiful, the food is delicious, and the margaritas are strong. We have the Carne a la Diabla and the Texanas fajitas (chickens, steaks and shrimps) that were both really good. I also got a side cheese chasadilla and was a little disappointed that it seemed to have American cheese, but my husband really liked it. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal here and would see us again next time in Albany.

The best thing about this restaurant was the ambience and decoration. The bright coloured material and Mexican decorations made for a really interesting contrast against the traditional stain glass windows and dark wood of this former church. The staff were also great, but I can't give it more than 3 stars due to the food. Unfortunately, it was mediocre at best. The fish taco came half filled with just a few pieces of fish, no sauce or onion or cilantro or... well anything to make it a step up from bland. It was a shame because the actual meat and fish wasn't bad, it was just very plain. It was good enough to hit the spot when you're hungry, but I wouldn't rush back for an authentic meal.
