Typically, when we head out for South of the Border cuisine we are
headed to Casa here in town but
we have passed a place out in Seville a few times and have a chance
to give it a try. A few restaurants have resided on the corner here
since I have been in the area and El Patron has been there for a bit
now. The parking lot is crowded and so is the mandatory brightly
painted interior. |

In a lot of ways the staff reminded me of early Casa, serious hustle, big friendly smiles, looking for ways to make sure you enjoy yourself. Casa, while our homebase is much more secure in their success, they are still working to assure that at El Patron. Our particular server, sporting a small mustache and a smaller pony tail was active and fun, plus he was joined by a bevy of aid Steph tried their Rita and it has more of a harsh tequila profile to it by comparison, giving it a more medicinal taste. A couple of extra lime wedges would probably help quell that end of the flavor. Their salsa has a bit more bite in the jalapeno department which I like but their fried tortilla could use a bit of punch as well.
Steph ordered chicken flautas, little fried cigars which were pretty
tasty and had the look of thoughtful presentation to them which is
often over looked in Mexican restaurants. |

I had the choripollo. The chicken was pretty standard, the sausage
had a nice depth of spice and spiciness the beans, rice and veggies
were all pretty standard. It was unusual to have it arrive without
tortilla for encasement and I’m not sure if that is practice or an
oversight here. We had a good time and some fairly good food at El
Patron. They don’t deliver anything beyond good but I expect they
will do well in Seville, particularly if they keep treating their
clientele so well. |
