El Patron in Albuquerque

I've been here a few times. Yes, I've read the reviews, but when we went the food and service was good. This last time, the previous reviews caught up with us. Sad to say, both were disappointing. It was not too busy when we got there, but you could see it was before.  There were patrons there obviously for Happy Hour that had finished because they were too noisy and "cheerful". Our server didn't spend alot of time with us, so we ordered and waited. Our soft drinks came out after a wait so we just passed the time conversing and watching the HH folks. When the came, I was really perplexed.  I had an enchilada plate, green and red, with beans and rice. The rice was, strange. It was soupy/watery. I decided to eat the beans and yuck! They were sour. Before I could ask, my hubs mentioned the sourness in his also. He ordered red enchiladas with rice and beans. Now, he's not a fan of beans, but he told me he just couldn't bear to try the floating rice. I asked for black beans due to the sour Pinto beans. Those lacked flavor. Not even salt could help. My enchiladas came plain with the red and green sauces on the side. Sure, it's a different way than I'm used to but I poured some green sauce over one first and bit into it. Not a nice mouthful. The enchiladas were fried a bit in oil and the tortilla was hardened.   Not much on that plate that I enjoyed. Overall,  we were both underwhelmed with our whole experience.

Small restaurant but always good service, food and drinks! I love their sopapillas and breakfast! Nice that they have a patio now!

Called to place an order. Was hung up on.  Called back and spoke to 2 different people and when we drove to pick up our order it was wrong.  Then they redid our order while we were waiting and got home and it was still wrong.  My husband is allergic to onions.  The employees were told 3 separate times, no onions and when we got home, still onions.  Also ordered...
