What a gem 💎 We had such a special experience at The Original El Patio this weekend. My cousin has been coming here since the late 1970s when they first opened, so getting to share that history together made the visit even more meaningful. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming and well run, easy free parking, no wait, and a hostess who was incredibly put together and professional. Our waiter truly stood out. Not only was the service prompt and attentive, but he took the time to connect with us and even shared that his mom used to dine here in the 70s and now they both work here. That kind of generational connection says so much about a place. The food and drinks were just as memorable. The chips are homemade daily (you can taste the difference right away), and the horchata was a highlight. My cousin doesn’t usually drink milk based drinks and had never even tried horchata before and now she loves it! We’re also just so grateful this restaurant was able to reopen after the pandemic and continue serving its community. Places like this are more than just restaurants they’re part of people’s lives and memories. We suggested adding a little history to the menu because this place truly has a story worth sharing. We’ll definitely be back 💛

4/1/24 Monday ordered shredded chicken supper burrito taste very good but they didn't have black beans. Salsa chips were good. Jessy took the order n he was very nice person. Inside ambient looks good. Plenty of parking. Will definitely come back soon n try more menu items.

This is a convenient location and plenty of parking. More importantly, the margarita menu is impressive and a pitcher is reasonably priced. The food is fresh; however, lacks some spice (hence the four stars). Service is always attentive and the ambiance is fun.

My Shrimp Super Burrito with cheese being wet was outstanding. My wife's Mexican Shrimp Delight was equally perfect. The Churros were a great finishing crescendo of delight. Chips were good and not oily. Very impressed that every table had a dispenser of hand sanitizer. Bathrooms were very clean.

The mole chicken was super flavorful and a little spicy. My friends enjoyed the fish tacos and chili verde.
