I'm re-reviewing this place. It's on point now and I encourage trying El Patio.

My last review had less stars because the service was horrible. The staff now is on point. The food is terrific. I like the melanesa, chorizo, empanadas and you can't really go wrong with other dishes. I've tried a lot. Never disliked my meal.

This is one of my go to places. Food wise, it always has been, but I didn't like to wait. Not...

I have been having a CRAZY craving for tortillas espanolas and was so excited to see it on the menu. I ordered 2 but wish I had ordered 6 more for the week. My absolute favorite! So good.

Joseph was a great server! We ordered the parrillada de Buenos Aires and it had a great flavor. We loved the choripan, grilled skirt steak, ensalada rusa, and the agua de fresa. Would recommend giving it a try!
