El Patio Mexican Restaurant is known for its unique Southwest Mexican cuisine, where each dish is specially prepared for a delightful dining experience. The attentive and friendly waitstaff offers complimentary chips and salsa to start. While the salsa has a good flavor, it may be a bit too spicy for some. The corned beef enchilada special is particularly praised for its excellent taste. The Mexican chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream are also popular choices.
The restaurant is celebrated for its warm and vibrant energy, with a colorful and festive decor that makes diners feel like they are dining in a cozy Mexican courtyard. The beautiful and comfy setting features an indoor space reminiscent of an art gallery tribute to the Southwest, while the outdoor area boasts a gorgeous green deck and garden. The food stands out above everything else, with generous portions that are reasonably priced. The guacamole is a must-try, and the margaritas are some of the best, perfectly balanced and refreshing.
Whether dining for the delicious food or to enjoy the inviting atmosphere, El Patio Mexican Restaurant does not disappoint. It remains a favorite spot for a casual night out or to entertain guests, making it a beloved family-owned local establishment.
