My husband and I wanted to give El Patio another chance, well, it was definitely the last!! 15 minutes to serve us, another 15 for a glass of water, we ordered 2 choripanes and rice to start; 20 minutes waiting and when the order was brought it was without rice...another 15 minutes for the side and 5 more for them to bring us chimichurri....When we bit into the choripan, it had a strange flavor, the onion spoiled. FOR GOD A REAL DISASTER!! My husband obviously gave up on ordering anything else, at that point he was really enraged, he asked for the bill along with a UNTIL NEVER!

I love this Argentinian restaurant. The cheese and onion empanadas and spinach torta are amazing! They have a small larder of imported Argentinian goods, such as dulce de leche and treats. Every time I get up to Rockville I stop in for delicious treats!

Wow ! Delicious asado plate. Beef short ribs. The roasted veggies and Russian salad were so delicious too. Plenty of parking. The place is a little dark inside but you can eat outside weather permitting.Kid-friendliness: You can bring kids since it is not high end place

?Caution on the gnocchi!! Wayyyyyy too salty. It seems they salted the gnocchi itself, salted the boiling water, and salted the rosé sauce. Too much! ??They did try to correct it by serving us another gnocchi but ordered the regular tomato sauce instead. A little bit better, but still the gnocchi itself was salty. The side salad kind of helped mellow it down a bit. Still… note to the chef on 22Feb2024 at 6-7pm: please lay off the salt and thank you!All else - food servers were friendly and attentive. Restaurant vibe was chill until it got busy for dinner rush. Bathrooms are clean. Dessert was good especially when served with freshly brewed black coffee.

I ordered the Parrillada para dos for takeout. The restaurant vibe was great and pickup was easy. I was SUPER excited about the parrillada because I absolutely love Argentinian restaurants. Unfortunately the taste of the meat and chorizo was not very good at all. I couldn't even finish my plate :(. However, my partner who is not picky at all liked it and was able to eat the whole thing, so I suppose it really depends on your taste. 3 stars because it fed a grown man for 3 days.

The Parilla platter was horrible. Dry beef and chicken. The beef was all fat. The ham and cheese empanadas were cold; my daughter actually threw up after she had a couple of bites. The beef empanadas were like a soup once you opened them. I’m from Miami and was excited to eat here. I will never go back.
