El Patio Restaurant Reviews
As soon as I walked in I was greeted with nothing but rudeness. I repeated my order more than once & still got it wrong. I called & was told it was my fault. I asked for extra napkins & again was told there’s one in the plastic ware.
No have a great day, nothing. I was greeted with better service with the vintage booths next door!!
Horrible experience.
Omg they have the best traditional Mexican food you could ever want and we even met the longhorns. A very fun environment and our waters was so awesome 👏 🤘🏼

El Patio Restaurant offers a nostalgic atmosphere, thanks to its experienced management. The food is generally good, with customers praising the really good chips, shells, and enchiladas. The bean and cheese taco, served on a flat shell called chalupas or tostadas, is highly recommended. This is an old school Austin hole in the wall serving Texas style Tex Mex. Come hungry, get some cheese enchiladas, chips, salsa and of course a taco. The $20 pitchers of margaritas on Thursdays remain a popular draw, with extra points for taco Tuesday. The restaurant's tortilla chips are described as some of the best, light and crispy, earning high praise from loyal customers. While the service can be a bit slow at times, the restaurant still retains its charm and historic significance. The decor features Texas Longhorn memorabilia, adding to its nostalgic charm, and many customers have returned multiple times, appreciating the generous portions and cozy atmosphere. Thank you to the current owners for keeping an Austin tradition still very much alive.
