We stopped by on a recent weekday evening to check out an old fav! Haven't been to El Patio since the COVID scamdemic. In short, it was REAL good. The gratis chips and salsa was a good as we remembered... spicy salsa and the chips are light and fluffy! The house margaritas were awesome. Entrees
Old school Tex Mex. While others compete to be setting the latest hot trend in dishes, El Patio remains satisfied producing the old staple TexMex meals.
Good food, attentive friendly staff and an atmosphere that only can be achieved by serving thousands of people over the years, from the rich and
We came into Austin for the day and had lunch here. Hands down best Mexican food I have had in Texas! Bruce was a terrific server so ask for him when you visit. He was super friendly and spot on with menu suggestions. Thanks Bruce. If we make it out to Austin again we will be sure to swing by. Your
The food, service, and drinks are AMAZING. So much food for a good price. Even the salsa (which I’m usually not a fan of because not much effort is put in at some places) was delicious and I could tell they actually put effort into making it. All around amazing.
We all decided we had not been here in 20 years and it was high time to come back. Nostalgia aside the food is still pretty good. Even better, in this age of food trends and corporate chains El Patio remains stable and local. Thankfully the menu was familiar. It reminded us all of Tex-Mex in the 7
Old Austin favorite for traditional Tex-Mex. Not the best queso, but everything else is great. David special is a favorite.
We stopped in here a while back and figured it was time for another visit this afternoon. Thank goodness we did because it was just what we were looking for! The hubbs and I enjoyed margaritas (well, rocks, salt), which were $6 each and excellent. We decided to try the "Crispy Tacos", which are serv
This was as good as it's always been. The friendly waiters made eating there a great experience. When a place reopens especially during this covid time you aren't certain what to expect. No disappointments here.
In my opinion El Patio has the best enchiladas in Austin, value and quality. You can certainly spend more on Tex Mex food in atx and not get the same result.
Service was great! They were so friendly and welcoming! The food was ok nothing special in my opinion
I’ve discovered this place after doing an online search to find restaurants that serve or were noted for serving sherbet as part of their menu. After being seated, I asked to have sherbet brought out before the main meal. It was wonderful! The rest of the meal was just as good. Service was excellent
I've been coming here since was a kid. I make a special trip from Dallas to visit this Iconic Restaurant. A blessing to the community in Austin on the DRAG.
Redemption. I've been a patron here for 45 years. Was disappointed in the food after ownership changed hands. Looks like they've worked out the food situation and everything is back to normal. Hole in the wall texmex at it's best.
Coming from California the expectation of Mexican food in Texas is that it’ll be similar/the same. This isn’t really true it’s just a little different. It felt a little less tasty and less spicy than what I’m used to. That being said we ate here and had an enjoyable meal. The portions were huge, ope
