El Patio Restaurant is an Argentinian gem in Rockville. Known for their delicious cheese and onion empanadas, spinach torta, and mouth-watering beef short ribs on the asado plate, this place is really, really good, especially for meat eaters. The roasted veggies and Russian salad are also popular choices, along with flavorful dishes like the Pollo Salteado with grilled veggies—colorful, well presented, and delicious. While the gnocchi might be too salty for some, the restaurant offers a deft hand with spicing, creating rich flavors.
The friendly staff is quick to address any issues, though splitting the bill may take extra effort for larger groups. The location is a little hard to spot from the road but well worth the trip. With a reasonably broad menu and fair prices, El Patio serves excellent appetizers, entrees, and desserts. The market selection of imported Argentinian goods is great, and the cozy environment feels like a family gathering. Kid-friendly and wheelchair accessible, El Patio Restaurant is a great spot for a delicious meal, especially when paired with their freshly brewed black coffee. Always a great staple of Argentinian and Uruguayan food.
