★★★★★ 5.0 Kennedy Konshak · Feb 2026

We visited El Patio on a Friday evening and were thrilled that there was no wait. The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, with plenty of seating so it never felt crowded. The drinks were delicious and well made, and the food was just as impressive. Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. Service was prompt, friendly, and welcoming from start to finish. Our servers were attentive without hovering and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. A great spot for a relaxed, fun night out. We will definitely be back.

My husband and I went out for dinner looking for a New Mexican restaurant to try. We looked on line and found El Patio. Their reviews were excellent. The El Patio lived up to all of their excellent reviews. The service: was excellent, very attentive, very respectful. The food was excellent. We ordered the fajitas for two. Positively one of the best restaurants here in Lexington. A must try!

I don’t typically love strip mall restaurants, but this one had great reviews and we were in the area so we tried it and it did not disappoint! The staff were incredibly friendly, the food came out super fast and everything was so delicious! The only thing I didn’t enjoy 100% was that there was a ton of TVs and at one point they turned down the music playing throughout the restaurant and turned up one of the football games really loud and it felt more like a bar than a restaurant, but I don’t know if that’s an every day occurrence or if it was just a special game.

10/10 All across the board ! We’ve been looking for a new favorite mexican place on this side of town and this one takes the CAKE. It smelled and looked so clean, and EVERY one of the workers were so so nice from the moment we walked in the door throughout our time there. Our actual server Brandon was beyond amazing. Comp’ed something he absolutely didn’t have to (it was my mistake not asking for no beans lol) and welcomed us warmly to the area. We (being my girlfriend and I) are also no strangers to being treated differently for how we look so even decent service tends to impress us both very easily. Everyone treated us like we were already regulars ! We can’t wait to return. We love this place !

★★★★★ 5.0 Stephen Boyd · May 2023

It's truly a hidden gem. Best food, service, and people. The third time eating here in 2 weeks 😁 since we discovered it, it's been excellent every time. Food cooked and seasoned to perfection. Staff is always friendly and attentive. You feel like they are having you over for Sunday dinner every time. Couldn't recommend more. Oh, and my bride says the skinny margaritas are fantastic.
