About El Patio Restaurant

El Patio Restaurant offers a nostalgic atmosphere, thanks to its experienced management. The food is generally good, though some dishes may not suit every customer's taste. While the service can be a bit slow at times, the restaurant still retains its charm. The $20 pitchers of margaritas on Thursdays remain a popular draw. Customers praise the restaurant's historic significance, with one noting that their father used to frequent the establishment when he was in college. The restaurant's tortilla chips, which are also available for purchase at local markets, are described as light and crispy, earning high praise from loyal customers. Recent visitors have enjoyed the really good chips, shells, and enchiladas, as well as the sweet tea and friendly staff. The bean and cheese taco, served on a flat shell called chalupas or tostadas, is highly recommended for its flavor. The lunch experience includes fresh chips and salsa, with attentive service at the bar, and the chicken fajita nachos are described as tasty and satisfying. The restaurant's decor features Texas Longhorn memorabilia, adding to its nostalgic charm, and many customers have returned multiple times, appreciating the generous portions and cozy atmosphere.
