Probé El servicio de buffet- brunch el domingo y aquí les va mi reseña...✨✨ * La comida sabía muy rica, las opciones de las comidas son un poco variadas , pero el sabor muy rico. * Los puntos a considerar serían que no hay más de 2 meseros para el brunch; por lo que el servicio de bebidas no será tan rápido, al igual que si quieres pedir algo del buffet que es “made to order” tomará un tiempo y harás fila . Si el restaurante está muy lleno , será un poco incómodo el traslado de recoger tu comida a tu mesa, pues las mesas quedan muy juntas. * Las personas encargadas de cocinar fueron muy amables, el sabor de la comida muy bueno, y el poco personal igual fue amigable ??. * El mariachi solo estuvo hasta la 1:45 cantando, el sitio web marca que hasta las 3 pm. Yo esperaba que pasaran por mi mesa a cantar las mañanitas, pues fui a celebrar mi cumpleaños. *El lugar es muy bonito y aesthetic .
Our waiter was not attentive at all. Many of us were left with out drinks for a while. We even had to go to the bar for some. And the place was empty. Instead of asking us politely to leave, the bartender had a lady at the bar very rudely sing “it's time to go home” at the top of her lungs. Very disappointed in the experience, and we're frequent visitors. Probably will not go back.

this is/was my 1st and last time visiting. food was ok, service could have been better. The manager was only attentive with certain specific minorities as favored which made it more noticeable due to restaurant only had few customers. Waiter was ok but could have been a little more attentive. Manager observed service/needed required (like a refill) but refused to engage in assisting which made it more obvious and disappointing due to only assisting specific minorities in a very less busy atmosphere with a few customers. I will not be back or supporting this business.
We loved our experience at El Patio!! It's not your typical Tex mex which is so tiring. So El patio was a breath of fresh air. The steak presentation was superb and the dessert cart a real treat. Jorge was great and made for a great evening with friends

I was here with some friends on 09/10 for the Mariachi Brunch and a special occasion. We got the $20 Mimosa bottle special and it was buffet-style. The food and drinks were good and it was cool that the Mariachis came to each table if you have a request for a song or a special occasion you can let them know. I like the vibe here and I will be back for the Happy Hour they have on Tues-Fri 11 am-6 pm

The food and service are a 5 star hands down and can't leave out the cocktails. I highly recommend this great spot for whatever craving of mexican cuisine and will definitely visit this decadent spot again. Thank you El Patio for a great experience.

Had Friday nite reservations for 4 adults. Arrived on time and seated immediately in a seemingly slow dining room. Server came immediately with waters and said he would be right back. 20 minutes later the manager came to ask if we needed anything. He took our drink orders which were very slow to come out...about 10 minutes...for a sparse dining room. There were two bartenders, about 10 tables and a birthday party seating about a dozen people. At least the birthday party was seated away from the other tables (they must have sang Happy Birthday at least 3 times). We finally ordered a starter. After it came out the regular waiter came and took our dinner orders. Three of the plates had rice on them and i noticed that none of us ate the rice. After dinner i asked and everyone said it tasted odd and no one added it their take home boxes. All in all a fair experience but don't know if we will return. With so many choices for dining, it didn't do enough for us to want to go back.

Great place for birthday celebration and happy hour! The chips and salsa are amazing and right up there with some of the best I have had. Added bonus are the pork skins on top of the chips if you are watching carbs. The wait staff is on point and the drinks and food did not disappoint.

The food was delicious! My family had the fajitas, salmon, and chicken quesadillas. However, the adult beverages were lacking flavor. The House Margarita on the rocks lacked the lime taste (and it took a long time to get my drink, I had to ask the waitress about it) and the Mango Chamoy, well, it should taste like mango with a sweet and sour flavor. We will return for the food. I'll give it second chance because I don't know what might have been happening behind the scenes and I totally understand that.
Just had an incredible dining experience at @elpatiomextex From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was so inviting. The service was top-notch, and the presentation of each dish was a work of art. ? Every bite was bursting with flavor, queso was definitely a big hit, but the meat tower stole the show. ? If you’re a foodie like me, you absolutely have to try this place! 10/10 would recommend.

Came in for Sunday brunch buffet with a 130 reservation. First thing that hits you is how hot the place is. We were seated right away but and that’s about the only good thing. First off, the server took forever to come to our table but he was good about refilling our drink. It was so hot, the ice melted before you can even get to your drinks. The buffet tables were half empty. The enchiladas looked and tasted like it had been sitting out all morning. Chips/chicharron table was never replenished. The fruit and dessert table had a ton of flies flying around and that too wasn’t replenished. I don’t understand how management allowed that when they had a lot of customers still coming in. The egg and taco stations were the only decent thing in the place. I had to ask the taco guy to change out the green salsa because it had hair floating in it. I definitely will not be coming back here for awhile or ever. It’s really hard to enjoy your meal while sweat is dripping off of you. They had fans in some areas but that wasn’t cutting it, a lot of the customers were fanning themselves and for that price, my family and I should’ve been able to enjoy ourselves but that wasn’t the case. Total waste of money, I suggest find another spot.

Decor of Restaurant was appealing!It was warm inside possibly a/c was out, floor fans were on. Buffet setup was a bit out if order & cramped in corner. Brisket Taco was the best on menu although, brunch was very basic & food not hot(Only Plates were very hot!) Pastry table held way more then necessary to accommodate the room & overfilled. I would rather have more brunch variety available. Had to repeatedly get up & ask for drink refills. Mariachi music was a plus..Not likely to return:/
