"We're impressed! Not just because it's in cusp-of-Amish-country Middlefield, Ohio but because the food and selection go beyond just the standard burrito/enchilada/taco 10-item menu you can find at many Anglo-Mexican joints that call themselves \"Mexican\".\n\nMulti-panel menu offers quite the variety of choices. I find it similar to Senorita Bonita's in Solon about 25 miles away. Granted about 80% are variations of the same ingredients (beef, chicken, and beans) and presentations (burrito, enchilada, taco, fajita, chulupa, chimichanga, etc.). But there are pork, fish, relleno, verde, ceviche, and adobo choices as well.\n\nIt was \"99-cent Taco Tuesday\" so the wife got 2 beef tacos ($0.99 each) as appetizers and she said they were filled nicely and tasted really good (they didn't skimp on quality or quantity). I ordered the ceviche appetizer ($6.00) which was surprisingly delicious/fresh and quite a lot on the plate! In fact I was very impressed with our server when he advised it was taking a while because they were making a fresh batch (other places might've just pushed something near expiration on us just to save a few bucks). We appreciated this greatly.\n\nWe ordered the enchilada rojas ($10.00) and the lomo en adobo (pork adobo, $13.00), both of which were quite delicious. There was also too much to finish in one sitting!\n\nMenu includes an assortment of beers, lime and other flavor margaritas plus desserts. \n\nSome bizzare things can be found on the menu probably based on the area clientele more so than chef specialty. Sandwiches, fries, broccoli at a Mexican restaurant?\n\nAnyway, Middlefield's El Patron is a restaurant that has me craving to return to try the other things on their menu - both the special and common entr\u00E9es!"^^ . . .
