El Patio Reviews
Jamie was absolutely wonderful! She had the entire restaurant to herself due to unforeseen circumstances. The restaurant was busy but she handled it all and did a wonderful job doing it. Will ask for Jamie every time I come in now!
I had lunch with my family on Sunday. The food was great and the service was phenomenal. Our waitress, Emily, was friendly, attentive, and very courteous. Kudos to her 🎉
Sam was a great server and proudly recommended the Chili Verde-which did not disappoint. Just passing through but I think this place is a diamond in the rough:)

El Patio serves authentic Mexican cuisine, featuring flavorful dishes like the Carne asada burrito, which is a big portion and a must-try. The restaurant boasts a beautifully decorated interior with uniquely carved and painted booths, chairs, and highchairs imported from Mexico. The staff is friendly and helpful, delivering food and drinks promptly. Guests often praise the service, noting that servers are attentive, timely, and pleasant. The food is generally good in quantity and delicious, with some mentioning the great taste of dishes like the Carne asada burrito and the sangria margarita. The decor includes hand-painted tabletops and other accents that highlight the restaurant’s authentic Mexican style. All these elements make El Patio a popular spot for both locals and visitors. Prices are reasonable, and the restaurant offers real margaritas, both frozen and on the rocks, which adds to its authentic appeal. However, the cleanliness of the ladies' restroom remains a concern, detracting from an otherwise enjoyable experience.
