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.

I’m sad to say this place was awful. I haven’t dined here since it was Nuevo and it was huge disappointment. Food and service were less than appetizing. It’s such a beautiful space and has so much potential.

We had great service and enjoyed happy hour pricing for delicious queso, guac, and margaritas. Two of us had burritos that were excellent, and two had chicken quesadillas that were also very good. The half quesadilla was filling and plenty for dinner. We’ll be back!

First time visitors, we depended upon the server for suggestions. The salsa and guacamole was fantastic. They have a variety of margarettas and palomas. We tried on of each - and truthfully did not like the paloma. Never having one before - it could have been us. The tacos were wonderful - and the frajita was seasoned perfectly. We will definitely be back.

Tacos were terrific! Tried 6 different and all were great! Server was very friendly and helpful as well. Was amazed how fast the food came to table, granted it was not overly busy, but came out super fast! The open parking deck next door made it super convenient as well! Will definitely return!

The overall experience was very good due to the food and drinks. The server was inattentive to our table. She had to be motioned to after walking by the table a few times without checking if anything was needed. There was also a very large group that were at times loud and disruptive to the entire restaurant. This will not stop us from returning since the food is so good.

The street tacos were excellent. They were overflowing with delicious toppings and the corn tortillas were fresh. The queso fundido was gooey and really cheesy. It was quite delightful. The server was friendly and attentive, but I wish she knew more about the menu and was passionate about what she served.
