El Patron Tequileria & Cuisine features true traditional Mexican cuisine and street tacos. Our focus is to provide a clean meal with the best quality ingredients. We source various offerings on our menu from local farms and local butchers. We prepare everything in house and in small portions to increase our quality. Our main event is tequila. With over 130 different types of tequila and mezcal, you have an endless option of cocktails, flights, and sipping tequilas at hand. Elevate your experience and enquire about our private tequila pairing dinners. These dinners showcase true Mexican culinary execution and curated tequila pairings with every bite. El Patron Tequileria is a newfound pioneer in traditional homestyle Mexican kitchen that veers away from your typical midwestern Mexican restaurant. Our property provides a comfortable dining space, elegant bar, lounge, private room and our main highlight, our outdoor rooftop patio and bar that overlooks the Downtown Akron cityscape.

We loved out experience. Or server Jamie was so kind, attentive and answered all questions we had (and there were a lot). All the beverages we got were very fresh and I could tell mixers were homemade. All 5 of us loved our food and we all got something different. Can't wait to come back and enjoy the patio in the summer!

The food was just ok. I felt it was pricey for what it was. The flavored margarita was $8 more than a classic making them in the $17-20 range. Way overpriced!! I also did not like that they did not let me see my check and just had me pay the total she gave me. I think it was pricey for what it was. There are other cheaper more flavorable Mexican restaurants.

Came to El Patron for Valentine’s Day and we were made to feel right at home. The Trio lf queso, guacamole, and pico was delicious. Try the birria tacos you will not be disappointed. Lastly, we finished dessert with churrros which were also excellent. I will definitely come back.

The food was phenomenal! I would say the prices were $2-$3 higher than I expected, but the food was worth it.
