We Went to El Patio for a family dinner! The service, food, atmosphere & drinks were all EXCELLENT! Thanks to the El Patio Team! We'll be back soon!
We returned again for Mother's Day Brunch on 5/12/24. The buffet is back, after a hiatus during and after COVID. Last year, brunch was available, but you ordered off the menu. This year, they presented the full buffet again. I'm not an eat-all-you-want kinda person anymore. Those years are past. I enjoyed some green salad, a spot of rice & beans, fresh melon pieces, some scrambled eggs, and a couple pieces of bacon. That left room for a small pancake and more fruit for the second run. They serve mimosas, horchata, and other beverages as part of the brunch menu. Our family group enjoyed it all, plus mini churros, pozole, breakfast potatoes, and more. We didn't make a reservation, so we couldn't be served on the patio, unless we promised to stay for only an hour. They were very busy the whole time we were there, but no one was standing waiting in the parking lot. We sat at a booth in the front room of the interior dining area. The main door was open, so we hade an indoor-outdoor vibe going on, and the outside temperature was perfect for that kind of scenario. Like last year, they had wrapped carnations with an accent of baby's breath for each of the ladies. That's a nice touch for Mother's Day. Our server checked on us multiple times to see what else we might need. Mainly refills on drinks were requested. The price has gone up, but it's still a solid value for the availability of food and beverages with a good variety of dishes touching on both Mexican and American tastes.
Really great Mexican spot. Our server Balta was amazing and helped adjust menu items to cater to our vegetarian needs. The portions were great and the food was really good.
Simple food with a great happy hour. They have a really nice heated outdoor space that is decorated for holidays with an outdoor bar with a TV. Indoor is a bit cramped with a slightly awkward layout but nicely decorated in adobe style. Food is really tasty. For happy hour food, they have a limited menu of 4 items - two types of burritos, cheese enchiladas, and crispy tacos (beef only). Burritos are large and stuffed! Crispy tacos are plain with beef, lettuce and cheese, and definitely needed the salsa. The house chips and salsa are really good, the salsa is a standard restaurant ranchera but it has a bite. For drinks, they have house margaritas, pina coladas, beers and tequila shots. Margaritas were strong and we left very happy! They also have a drink special on the blackboard as you enter the restaurant so check that too! Ours was $3 special shots. I had previously ordered that special on another visit and it was a bartender's choice of a cocktail shot. Great happy hour! Great for groups! Always wonderful service!
