El Patio offers a delightful dining experience with friendly service and a warm, colorful atmosphere. Customers highly recommend the pollo pasilla and the Cadillac Margarita. The restaurant features a festive patio and an impressive menu variety, including dishes like the Mole Ranchero with spicy pork and shrimp with zarandeada sauce, both praised for their flavorful and just spicy enough taste. The ambiance is charming, with an earthy vibe and an open half-kitchen concept. Chips and salsa are flavorful, and house-made margaritas in Tamarindo, Jamaica, and Mango with Tajín are popular choices. While some wish for more options like a chicken taco platter, the menu includes seafood such as octopus tacos and a fish burrito, allowing for sharing. Overall, El Patio is a great neighborhood "cantina" that offers a perfect spot for a return visit.
