Surcharge 3%??? It’s been a nice journey, I’ll miss you. People are lucky when they get 3% back using their credit cards, and now El Patio wants to take that 3% for themselves? I choose to boycott, 👎 thumbs down

El Patio has that warm, colorful neighborhood Mexican vibe that instantly feels welcoming. The plates come out generous, the flavors are bold without being overwhelming, and the margaritas are solid and refreshing.
It’s the kind of place you go for a relaxed dinner, good portions, and dependable comfort food. Not trendy — just friendly service and classic Mexican dishes that hit the spot.

El Patio serves wonderful Latin food and the service is warm and friendly. I ordered the carne asada and the portion was generous. There is free parking behind the restaurant. I can’t wait to go back and try other items on their menu.

We stayed right across the street and got dinner from El patio almost every night. The young guy who took our order in English was very nice and polite. He brought us water while we waited for our take away without us asking. The food is great and authentic. The prices are good given the amount of food you get. The atmosphere makes you feel like you're in an actual restaurant in Mexico. We'll definitely visit again when we're back in Seattle. As a Greek couple who lives in London, we really loved this restaurant and the vibes made us feel like we were at a cozy pub in the countryside. Muchas gracis por su gran hospitalidad y lo siento, me da vergüenza hablar en español.

Every bite is bursting with flavor — nothing feels rushed or generic.

Parking and entrance in the back of restaurant since the front is on Aurora. Walking in you walk past the restrooms that smell like any gas station restroom. That was my cue to walk out but I was really hungry and wanted food from my culture. Our table was very wobbly and there was no fresh air indoors just air conditioned air which made it very cold to wait 30 minutes to be served. Other tables were served first although they arrived after us. The male server was kind but the older ladies were a bit rude and gave lots of side eyes. Just as we were ready to leave our food arrived all at once which is weird because usually appetizers are served before entrees. We got food poisoning, I ate more than my boyfriend and I puked when we got home. He puked this morning. I’m still nauseous and don’t feel well. Aside from that the curtido was way too salty and everything else tasted fine so I’m not sure if they just aren’t practicing safe food handling or what but boyfriend and I are both sick.

El Patio has delicious food, inviting atmosphere and friendly staff. Pricing is very fair with large generous portions. -The tamales and pupusa’s are very good and filling!!! The bar is fully stocked and the kitchen is ready for large events! Don’t forget to try the specialty drinks & consider for catering. I will return many times with my family, this place is great!!!
10/10 recommend!!!

Food was average, I don’t think that quality is worth the price that’s why I give this rating.

After a tiring day, I stopped in for a bite to eat and everything seemed excellent. The food was delicious and just how I ordered! I ordered a bandeja paisa with a few extras, but everything was taken into account. I appreciate the attention of the girl who was there at the time; she made my moment perfect with the excellent service and kindness she provided (I asked for her name, Abigail). I recommend visiting if you haven't been. I took this photo, but I had already devoured half of it because it was delicious! Thank you, Abigail, and thank you, Restaurant el Patio.
