El Patron Mexican Grill

"TV Pairing:Insecure (HBO) “Insecure is a show about good people who tend to make bad decisions, mostly because they get a little horny or hangry or concerned about their career paths. We can all relate. I can, especially, because it takes place in LA where I’m from and, like its leading lady Issa, I also have a boundless appetite for Mexican food as well as an alter ego who gives herself mirror pep talks. Flaming margaritas and/or tacos make a cameo in just about every other episode, so order something from our Mexican Delivery Guide (I’d go with a combo plate from Taqueria El Patron), and queue up Insecure. Also, I’d be doing you dirty if I didn’t tell you that someone nice put all of the music from the show in this Spotify playlist. You’re going to want it.” -AS" - hannah albertine, nikko duren, arden shore, matt tervooren

"El Patron is a casual Mexican restaurant about a block away from Prospect Park. It has two connected spaces with a ton of big tables for groups, as well as some sidewalk seating during the summer. We particularly like the al pastor tacos and the fact that the chips and salsa are free, but there’s a huge menu of burritos, fajitas, and house-special tacos as well." - bryan kim, matt tervooren

"It’s possible the thing preventing you from ordering Mexican takeout is having to decide between tacos and enchiladas. When you order online from El Patron in PLG, you don’t have to choose a favorite. They have combos in the $15-20 range that involve both (as well as a full menu of burritos, fajitas, and margaritas to-go)." - hannah albertine

"El Patron is a Mexican restaurant right next to the park in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. It has two big connected spaces with a ton of big tables for groups, as well as some sidewalk seating during the summer. This place is really casual and good for kids, so come before or after spending time in the park, or if you need something easy in the neighborhood. They have a huge menu of burritos, fajitas, and house-special tacos, but we particularly like the al pastor tacos and the fact that the chips and salsa are free." - Hannah Albertine
