El Patrón

El Patrón is a Mexican restaurant at 1605 Vinton Street in the Little Bohemia part of South Omaha, a historic commercial strip lined with small restaurants and shops. Its website, which handles menu viewing and online ordering, does not tell an ownership story. It is one of several Mexican kitchens on Vinton Street.

The restaurant keeps long hours. According to its website, it is open Tuesday through Friday from 9 am to 10 pm, and on Saturday and Sunday from 8 am to 10 pm, so breakfast, lunch and dinner are all possible. Monday hours are not listed. Orders can be placed online for pickup or delivery through the site, and a phone number is published for questions.

The website's featured items are tacos on corn tortillas with grilled meat, chicken, shrimp or seafood, garnished with onion, cilantro and house salsa; large flour-tortilla burritos filled with grilled meat, chicken, fish or shrimp plus rice and beans; and fried bone-in wings with the sauce of your choice. The full menu is on the ordering page, and no vegetarian labels are shown.

Choose El Patrón for a quick, casual taco meal before or after exploring Vinton Street, or when you want an early breakfast-hour Mexican option, since it opens at 8 or 9 am. It works well for small groups and takeout. Because the website does not describe parking, the dining room layout or reservations, plan on walk-in service and check by phone for larger parties.
