El Patron Mexican Grill Windsor

About Us

At El Patron our goal is to share our love of Mexican food and culture in a town that we love. Aside from our made-with-love food and our one of a kind cocktails, we truly value the customer’s experience and we hope that this love translates to everyone that comes in the door. We wanted to give Tecumseh a little slice of Mexico where our customers can feel immersed in the culture and be transported.

Quality and consistency are of the utmost importance which is reflected in all of the dishes we create. With fresh, high-quality ingredients, we make everything in house, from scratch, and with love.

Mexican Food. Authentic, Fresh & Modern.

With dishes reminiscent of Abuelita’s kitchen, our dishes bring you the rich, vibrant flavors of authentic Mexican cuisine with a modern touch. Every dish is crafted with fresh ingredients, combining traditional recipes with innovative ideas to create a dining experience that’s both comforting and exciting. It’s the perfect balance of tradition and creativity, served with love.

El Patron Mexican Grill is a true gem, serving up authentic Mexican cuisine with bold flavors and a welcoming atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, the vibrant decor and friendly staff make you feel like you’ve stepped into a slice of Mexico.

The Birria Tacos are a must-try—rich, tender, and served with flavorful broth that takes the dish to the next level. The rice and beans are perfectly seasoned, and the homemade sauces add just the right kick. Whether you're craving flaming cheese, churros, or classic tacos al pastor, the menu delivers on every front.

Service is consistently warm and attentive, with staff going above and beyond to make guests feel like family. The prices are fair, and the portions generous, making it a great spot for both casual dinners and special outings.

If you're looking for top-tier Mexican food, El Patron is the place to be.

Came to the new location for the first time to celebrate my birthday. OMG, what a great experience. The halloween drink menu was so amazing. They answered all my questions about the drinks, and the food was so good. Even though they were super busy since it was a Friday night, we sat at the bar right away and the food came out super fast. Never had to ask for anything extra, we were checked in on before we ever could possibly need anything. I can't believe it took me so long to come here. I will definitely be coming more often and bringing friends here to try as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have gluten free options?

We have lots of gluten free options. All of our street tacos, birria tacos and enchiladas are on corn tortillas that are gluten free. We recommend telling your server so they can make note of it so the kitchen can take the proper precautions while preparing your food as we do have items with gluten in our kitchen. You can also substitute the flour tortillas for the corn ones for the flaming cheese or fajita. Our Carne Asada is also a great option and is served with corn tortillas.

Disclaimer: the kitchen takes the proper precautions in preparing gluten free meals however we can never 100% guarantee that there is zero cross contact, especially with items we outsource. 
*Chips are also fried in the same fryer as items that have gluten since we only have 1 fryer.

Lots! In most cases we can substitute meat for freshly grilled veggies (peppers and onions). For tacos, we offer a vegetarian taco that has our beans, grilled veggies and pico de gallo, served with side salsa and limes.

Disclaimer: Our rice does contain chicken broth and so does our enchilada sauce. 

We only take reservations for parties of 8 or larger. We do however operate using a waitlist system for smaller groups.

How does your waitlist work?
When the restaurant is at capacity, we utilize a waitlist system. To be added to the waitlist, please call approximately 1 hour before your desired seating time.
 
Waitlist availability is subject to current restaurant capacity and may vary.

Yes we do! We have many options and we customize all our catering based on what the customer would like. Our most popular option is definitely our Taco Bar where the tortillas and meats come separate and warmed along with cilantro, onions, limes and salsas. This way, each guests can make their own taco – a fan favourite for sure!

You can absolutely place an order for pickup by calling us at 519-735-4545, however we do not offer online ordering or delivery at this time.
