About Taqueria El Patron

Taqueria El Patron is a taqueria, so expect a short, meat-forward menu, corn tortillas, and salsas made in house rather than a broad sit-down Mexican menu. It sits in Edinburg (78542), TX, independently run.

There is no star rating on file for Taqueria El Patron yet, so it is ranked here on how taco-focused it is (a taqueria scores above a general restaurant) and how complete its public listing is, not on reviews.

If a trompo is turning, order al pastor. Otherwise asada or carnitas is the safe read. Ask for everything con todo and work the salsa bar.

It is on E University Dr in Edinburg. Use the Directions button for turn-by-turn.

Call ahead or check the map listing before a special trip. Small taquerias change hours often, and our data refreshes on a schedule, not live.

In our Edinburg taco guide, Taqueria El Patron is ranked #4 of 77, by taco specialisation and listing completeness. How we rank.

What to expect on the menu

We do not have Taqueria El Patron’s exact menu on file, so this is what a taqueria of this kind typically serves, not a guarantee of today’s board:

• Al pastor, when there is a trompo turning
• Carne asada and carnitas
• Pollo, and often suadero, lengua or cabeza
• Corn tortillas, doubled
• A salsa bar with onion, cilantro, lime and two or three house salsas

For the real menu and prices, use the venue’s site or the Google listing.

For a rough idea of when to turn up, here is the median opening and closing time across the 60 taquerias in Texas in our data that do publish hours. This describes that group, not this venue, and should never be treated as Taqueria El Patron’s schedule.
