This was my second visit to El Patio after a great first experience. My girlfriend and I decided to share the fajitas and ordered a house margarita to go with it. Our server was juggling a large table of 12+ guests at the same time, so she seemed understandably overwhelmed. As a result, there was a little confusion with the menu, we needed up with an extra side of rice. Not a big deal at all, we can enjoy it another day. However, when the margarita arrived, while the presentation was appealing, I noticed something unusual as I stirred it. On closer inspection, there was a mosquito frozen inside one of the ice cubes. Needless to say, that was disappointing and a bit off-putting. I understand that things happen, especially during busy times, but this is something that definitely needs att

Food quality has changed drastically from previous visits. Our queso was so watery and thin. My wife and I both ate the enchiladas primo, and both were dissatisfied with the quality. The chicken inside the enchiladas seemed to be canned chicken, or premade versus fresh. It truly was disappointing.

In town for a couple days for work. Tried this place because it was next to my hotel. Huge mistake. I ordered beef tacos and chicken enchiladas. The food was average at best. Within a couple hours of eating i got extremely sick and have been in the bathroom non stop.

This is one of our favorite places to go for Mexican food. The food is always amazing and fresh. Our waitress was the only waitress at the time of our visit and was taking great care of everyone in the restaurant. She was amazing. The atmosphere is nice and cozy with colorful decor. We are never disappointed when stopping in for a bite to eat here. We definitely recommend this restaurant.
