We ordered the Molcajete, My experience at other restaurants is that it comes out piping hot steaming. Not this one it was just warm. The chicken was too cold to eat we sent just the chicken back to have it reheated. Everything else in it was just warm enough to eat. Disappointing. We ordered two beers and they weren't very cold I asked the Bartender to put the next one in ice. read more

Let's start with the service as a first time customer. They started off attentive and kind. Waiting for food its a pretty nice location. We got a basic taco salad and sopapillas order, with chips and salsa Togo. Got to the vehicle and checked the order. Salad looks good. Chips and salsa; a small helping, but they look good. Then we open up the sopapillas. There's the three sopapillas but then added items that weren't on the menu; assumed chocolate sauce, sprinkles and whipped cream. The menu says a tortilla that's deep fried topped with honey, butter and cinnamon. So it should be that simple. But with a dye allergy and staying away from certain things it was a bad surprise. So I went back in and asked/complained and told to wait for the manager or chef not sure who he was to get off his cell phone call. He came over and said that's how it comes. If I said to put the items on the side then they would've done that but since I didn't ask it was pointed as my fault. Then I asked if they can fix it and they said no. I left mad. My husband went back in. They talked it over, same guy that helped me; finally agreed they will fix it this one time but next time we need to ask. ( How do you ask about extra ingredients that aren't even on the menu? ) The food was decent eating it. We 100% would've been back for a dinner party in a couple weeks if their service was better. But we're going to take our time and money elsewhere, especially becauseof food allergies. I hope their attitudes get better in the future and they learn their menu instead of making the PAYING customer mad. I wouldn't recommend this place at all. So to end this review. I am sure there is better places to eat. Go to them. Go somewhere where they care you are spending your money, even if it's just for a $5 item or making it yourself and don't treat you like they are doing you the favor. Eating out is a treat not a must. read more

Came in this past weekend for dinner. We were seated and greeted by a woman who also took our appetizer order. She came back and asked if we were ready for entrees. We needed a minute. A few minutes later a guy comes up and asks if we want to order any food... I'm not sure if it was a miscommunication or she took a table out of turn or something. But the guy had no idea we ordered an appetizer and it came late. The food was pretty bland, i had the leesville special. Would definitely get something else. The chorizo dip was good though. read more

Service and food were great. We came in from Many and decided to stop in on our drive to Forest Hill. We will definitely make this stop again. read more

While my husband was stationed in LA during his time in the military our GO TO restaurant was here. Not only were they one of the only restaurant that had our Latin culture with the language as well but they were one of the best restaurants in the whole leesville. My first time I ordered the ribeye which was a 7/10 along with a frozen margarita which as you can see by the picture was SO GOOD I'd always order their margaritas. I've tasted their basic, mango, peach and strawberry margaritas and all by far have been the best I've ever had anywhere. They're deserts were personally not good for me but they steak with melted cheese that comes with a side of beans salad and yellow rice now that! Is a meal! I have gone here over 10 times in that year and I have always ordered the same things 100/100 recommend for those who are new to leesville read more

Awesome service, the BEST drinks and food!! Diego is behind the bar serving and let me tell ya, he is great!! Definitely our go to in Leesville! read more

Amazing food and amazing service. Best Mexican food in the area. Very fast service. There might be a small wait but it's worth it.

Love this place. The large margaritas are really large and the service is always fast and friendly. Great chips and queso. Even with a large group like ours the food comes out hot. I had the burrito special and my husband had the fajita nachos. So much food! It never disappoints. read more

food was good but experience was ABSOLUTELY HORRIBL. I will never go again because I had to ask for silverware, napkins, and for the rest of my food. Our waitress charged me twice and didn't give my friend back her change. read more

So this restaurant really was a rollercoaster. Having just moved here from El Paso we didn't have high hopes for good Mexican style food but this place had a lot of recommendations. They started off strong with their outstanding appetizer sampler and pretty good chips. The sampler had some of the best tasting Mexican American food I've ever had and it really set expectations high for the main meal. Here is where the problem lies. How do you make all this great food and then have bland rice and beans? When I took a bite of their signature burrito I was hit with a salt bomb bite of chicken. Service was 5 stars but the place needs a bit of a once over for cleaning. We will go back and give it another shot read more

IF I COULD GIVE THIS PLACE NEGATIVE STARS I WOULD. I was excited to try this place because it had 4 stars originally but unfortunately the food was disgusting and was rushed. My father ordered enchiladas they came out soggy and our Fajitas meat was supper hard barely touch our food. My husband ordered the spicy shrimp it was like they just cooked the shrimp and put a juice like sauce on top. After the horrible dinner options we went to pay it was $98 and some change they claimed the card machine wasn't working and they were having trouble with the cards so my husband,father,and sister tried to run there card none of which were "working" resorting in having to use cash. Next day which would be 3/26/25 $98 has been taken out of all accounts doubling on my father's account since he tried to run his card twice. BEWARE OF YALLS BANK ACCOUNT. read more

El Patio on Alexandria Hwy was a perfect family dinner meal. The Street tacos with steak was delicious, slow cooked and juicy. Traditional style with corn tortillas, cilantro, onions, and limes. Wow the hot sauce was fiery good too! Complimentary chips and salsa was great with a cold Cerveza or huge Michelada! Our server was very attentive, courteous and helpful. They have multiple seating areas both inside and outside for large groups too. They sang happy birthday to a party across from us, we watched International Soccer on the TV. They also have a separate bar area. Clean and establish family restaurant, will definitely be back. read more

AMAZING!! Don't get the fajitas, if you ever plan on eating fajitas anywhere else. These were hands down, the best I've ever had. I got the fajitas parrillada. It includes steak, shrimp, chicken, chorizo, and pork. (I like variety) I honestly can't put into words how hot, fresh, well seasoned, and flavorful everything was. And, my order came out fast! The server was very attentive and friendly. He continued to check on me, and fulfilled my every need. I know not everyone uses Yelp. But I feel like if someone is going to put it on Yelp, vs Google, it's an honest review. Anyone will go on Google and post their best, or worst experience. Yelp people know. Anyway, this is the spot for Mexican food if you're in the Leesville area, without a doubt. Enjoy! read more

El Patio Mexican Grill - Fajitas Parrillada (steak, shrimp, chicken, chorizo, and pork) - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Leesville, Louisiana

Ordered the queso with chorizo and what we got was burnt cheese to the skillet and a lot of chorizo. No queso. My shrimp quesadilla, I wouldn't even call that. Shredded cheese not even melted and hardly any cheese. Sopaipilla said it was going to be drizzled in honey with butter and cinnamon sugar. It was nothing like that. The flan was runny and not solidified yet, disgusting. I will definitely not be returning here and won't suggest it to others. read more

I got the pan seared, chicken, and it was dry. when the salsa came out it needed salt and pepper tasted like it came from a can.. steer clear of the mango margarita I tasted no alcohol and it was too sweet We visited El Flamingo Mexican restaurant (2x) and that place was by far the better restaurant. They also gave free ice cream as a dessert.. read more

The service was outstanding and the food was great! I had the Fajita Nachos and thought they were very tasty. My wife had the shrimp and Pollo Jalisco and she said it was terrific. 5 stars are easy to give. My son and daughter in law think it's the best restaurant in town! read more

Food is excellent, very tasty and well cooked. The service of Karina was beyond excellent. She went over the call of duty to make us happy at our table. Clean area and a nice authentic mexican food restaurant. I will give this restaurant a 10+. I definitely will return once I am in the area. They speaks spanish and easy to communicate for me. Wow, love the carne asada tacos. Mmmmm read more

Called in advance to ask if pets are welcome in the patio. The answer was yes on the phone. But then we were asked to leave the patio without service dog papers. They claimed we called the wrong restaurant, even after showing them the number dialed was the Lewisville location. Super rude. read more

The food was amazing. We had a larger group of women and children. The Staff was amazing as well as the food. The service was prompt and helpful. Did I mention we were on the patio and it was hot outside. Every concern was answered with a quick resolution. I am local and have never been here before and I will be back soon. read more

My partner ordered street tacos and didnt get the limes they asked for as well as getting AN ENTIRE PIG EAR INSIDE THE TACO it still had hair on it. I placed an order for a chimichanga and it wasn't assembled correctly was extremely soggy as well as the salsa i received with it was fermenting and sour Truly a revolting discovery on what was supposed to be a nice night of eating out not worth paying almost $40 for absolutely will not be returning! I made this yelp account specifically just to leave this review due to how incredibly disgusted i was! read more

The food is Incredibly Good! Fun atmosphere!!!!! Though It does vary slightly on who's cooking! Usually not in a bad way! Day shift often differs from night shift! Each cook (Chef) puts their own twist on how they cook! All Good- The Whole guacamole or (Mexican Guac as they call it!) It is amazing! It is served in a Molcajete, a large Stone Grinding Bowl! It is different than the regular guacamole. I can't believe they take so much time to make it, but it's wonderful! A bit more expensive than regular, as it is a generous amount of freshly chunked avocados, with freshly cut cilantro, tomatoes, and other ingredients. It is worth every cent! A meal in it's self! The regular guacamole is always good. But it seems to be of different variations! Sometimes it has heat, or even sour cream, and other times it's just perfect! When ordering an appetizer you can't go wrong with the 4 x 4! A very tasty choice! 4 steak Nachos, 4 jalapeño poppers, 4 triangles of quesadillas, & 4 mini burritos with sour cream and a jalapeño slice tucked away inside! Sadly I have tell you though, we where slightly dissatisfied this last time we went to El Patio. We had ordered steak in red chili, Carne Asada, or Chili Colorado as it reads on the menu, but got steak mothered in tomato juice, "Clamato!" they told me after they had served it. When I questioned the entrée they stated that they had to change the entire recipe because many people were not used to the taste of real red chili! (Knowing what's in Clamato, Good Thing I don't have a Shell Fish allergy!) ..........Total disappointment!!!! ..........Tell people what they're getting! Please don't just change any recipe! I suggest you allow it to be ordered special, as it is always prepared with Red Chilies. Sometimes made with Mole, a combination of Chilies. People come in for certain things! Continuity is important and consistency keeps people coming back! Cut back on heat, but not the flavor! I'm really sorry that the chili was too spicy for anyone, but to change it up with tomato juice was insulting to everyone, to us, to my wallet, to my taste buds, to the unique culture of the dish, to the establishment, and to people in the future that are expecting delicious entrées! I Wish You the Very Best and Continued Success! read more

Many of my coworkers suggested El Patio if I ever wanted Mexican food. My family decided to go on a Sunday night. We were greeted at the door and got sitter immediately. The servers were very nice and everything was served at a timely manner. The chips were thick and fresh and salsa was flavorful not too spicy. Our food was the best Mexican dish we had since we've been here. If you're reading this just go, you will not be disappointed. read more

This is definitely the best place to go for Mexican food in the area. They do t get a perfect score due to the long time it took to even have a waiter walk over. I was on my motorcycle and because the parking lot is gravel I parked on the concrete walkway. I told the ladies at the door and no one seemed to mind. That was really appreciated. The food when we did get it was really good. Best I e had since San Antonio. read more

This restaurant was absolutely disgusting too bad I can't give 0 stars, cob webs floating on ceiling above tables and lights completely covered in dust right above where everyone eats...the server was more worried about his cell phone then he did about drinks or silverware or napkins...street tacos were mostly grease the plates are cracked chipped and heated up way to hot for a kids meal...very disappointing read more

Well it is unusual for a restaurant to get it right the first time... Of course this is not El Patio's first restaurant, so they should have an opening down. Food was great. Wife had Tacos al Carbon, and I had the Burrito Especial. We shared a large guacamole, which was good as well. Only complaint would be the size of the margarita glass... 13.50 for a 16oz on the rocks that was full of ice. You get about 4oz of drink. read more

I have ordered "take out" from this restaurant about 6 times since COVID started and only ONCE was my order correct! It has become a running joke as to what we will find in the containers. Really people? For the most part the food is tasty. However, my grand daughter ordered tacos with meat only and they came with cheese and a line of meat about the size of my index finger. I have photo proof. It was ridiculous. My to go plate felt as if it had been stored in the refrigerator. You can ignore the "MASKS REQUIRED TO ENTER" signs as everyone else did! And Phase 2 "50%" capacity does not exist here. People were stuffed inside into every available space. The ONLY reason I gave it 2 stars was because they make killer margaritas here. read more

Tried this place for the first time tonight. The tamales have a decent amount of meat without overshadowing the masa. My quesadilla was really good and had excellent flavor.

I have been searching for a good Mexican place to eat since moving here. I finally tried El Patio & we were greeted as soon as we walked in. The waitress seated us almost immediately. The salsa was good & queso was amazing. We had nachos which were piled high, green enchiladas with a lil kick to em, & fajitas. Everything was so good, definitely found our new spot! The only thing missing is Charro beans and chicken tortilla soup read more
