I worked here about a month and only tried the food twice. The first time I tried their shrimp I got food poisoning. if you want to work here they will barely train you and then shame you for not knowing anything. I gave them my bank info twice because they lost it the first time, and failed to enter my info the second time. They ended up withholding one of my checks that I still haven't got because of this. The staff talks about each other poorly even if they're in front of the person they're talking about. Bad restaurant overall. read more

Saturday reservation @2pm for 8 and a high chair. Two of us got our table no problem, chips and salsa arrived within 5 minutes. But after 10 minutes of zero contact our server went to the table behind us (12-14 ppl) and got their written food order. All before acknowledging us or even giving water. After 20 minutes of us sitting se finally got our first order. This was a a constant pattern, we went to the hostess stand (who was on her phone the whole time) to get menus ourselves and we got the high chair. There was never more than 5 tables in the entire restaurant so I don't understand how service was THAT bad? And the food was mediocre, heavy on the Tex and probably 90% premade food for a high end price. Also the happy hour is A QUARTER off of the regular price. Such a joke. The enchiladas are ok, the strawberry margaritas were the only good thing, and our appetizers of queso and ceviche never came out so good luck ordering Wouldn't recommend. read more

I order from here every once in awhile, I'm happy with their food. I usually get an Enchiladas dinner and guacamole, both taste fresh and are delicious. My issues have been some inconsistency with getting my order correct, and also times when I have called middle of their posted business hours to place orders and the phone just rings, I've never known if it is a fluke or if they had to close for that day or something. Just kind of odd. ‍ But I still enjoy their food and they are very polite. read more

Tex mex below average. Plates hot but not so good another place that would give you a free meal to get a good review

Great place to go eat anytime, small place that really works hard to satisfy, we love daily special an the drinks are great

Horrible horrible food !! Don't eat here . I had green enchiladas super salty dried chicken and got charged extra for green sauce wtf?! Chicken fried steak was so disgusting. Not even my eight year old liked the coffee she ordered . No wonder this place was empty . Overall don't visit !!! read more

So visited El Patio, today while I was at Jury duty. It was in walking distance to the court, I had time to waste, and I was hungry. The mistake that I made was I walked through the doors. I was greeted and the host was nice enough. She picked a table for me while I went to the restroom. If I had looked up at what the patron at the table next to me had on his plate before I had ordered I would have walked out. My man had a side of buttered corn. In a tex mex restaurant? No. Not even Elote style, straight canned or frozen corn with his meal. I ordered the plate with three crispy tacos and a cheese enchilada. And boy did it not disappoint on the crispy part. My taco shells looked like someone who stayed out in the sun too long at the beach. If crispy shells start off as yellow and you are supposed to warm them up and they come out looking like the color of brown suede boots. Those charros flat out gross and the rice tasted like nothing. It wasnt even the food that made me want to review them it was the service. The waitress I had was horrible. She took my order, brought my drink, my food and that was it. I dropped my napkin on the floor and i was looking for her to come by so i can ask for another and she was gone. I just wiped my hands on my jeans. I ate what I could and wanted to pay and the waitress was no where to be found. I lie. She was at the bar on a step ladder doing something with bottles. I heard her giving direction to another waiter be should couldnt be bothered to check in on me. So after 10mins of sitting there, no drink refill, no new napkin, no check........she finally comes down and I can see her reflection looking at my table to see if I was done and instead of interacting with me she went straight to the register at the front, printed my bill and said I can pay the cashier or online. This is probably up there in the top 5 worst service I have ever recieved at a restaurant. Its all good, I wont be back but since I dont live in that town I wanted all Jurors and Court staff to know this is what awaits you if you visit this restaurant. You have been warned. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and excellent service. We are already planning to return for another visit. Thank you for the experience!! read more

Over the top good, everything about my meal was perfect, the rice was cooked where every grain was fresh and visible, the charro beans were freshly made, my beef fajitas were cooked to perfection and flavored where you couldn't wait for the next mouthful. The grilled onions and tomatoes had a hint of sweetness. The hot sauce was excellent. I got the extra hot one. Looking forward to going back. read more

Diablo Shrimp was good just wish there was more jalapeño in it to make it spicier. Also, the margaritas are HUGE!

Very good Mexican food. Great flavor. Have enjoyed everything I have tried. Reasonable prices and friendly waitstaff. Would definitely come back again. I have had the fajitas and tacos and enchiladas. read more

This is a very casual Mexican restaurant. The food is decent and relatively inexpensive. The atmosphere is very casual. The only drawback is each time I come the service is very slow. They seem to be understaffed. the song I was actually approached by the waiter and told me if I expected my food to be out quickly he could put it in a to-go box for me. That is after it took 20 minutes just to get my drink. Ordering to go and coming to pick it up is probably your best option for lunch during the work week. read more

We've ate here several times. Good food but their margaritas fall short. I paid $18.00 for a large "top shelf" that was all mixer and nothing more. We'll go back for the food but don't waste your money on the drinks. read more

Great family owned business!! Food was excellent - will definitely be coming back soon!

I tried this place out of several I could have, and instantly regretted it. I ordered the 3 beef enchiladas and they were tasteless and bland, and I only got a partial refund for food I could not eat, so I ordered the chalupas because I was still hungry. There was hardly much meat on them and the waitress told me the pico and sour cream would be extra even though it's right there on the menu with it. I ended frustrated and STILL hungry. This place is a waste of my money and I won't be coming back. P.S.-the queso was just like Kroger EasECheese and turned thick like cement after a few minutes. Don't bother with that either. read more

The food was tasteless, the enchiladas and tacos were bland, Chips were good but not worth $30 dollars.

Love this place mostly because the owner is so kind. She always makes it a point to come and give you a hug or pat on the back and ask how You're doing. When you see her in public, she also makes it a point to recognize you and say hello. Their food is awesome too. We had my daughter's baby shower there. It was on a Sunday, they were closed but catered to us and everything was top notched!! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. We ordered a small queso. You can tell that it came out of a can. All they did was add a couple of finely chopped jalapeños. They queso came out and we waited far what seemed like forever before the chips and salsa arrived. The salsa is average. My wife liked it. I'm not a big fan of hot (temperature) salsa. I ordered the lunch beef fajitas and she ordered the chicken. It came out quick. Chicken had a bad taste and the salad that came with it had cucumber and tomato that was spoiled - I sent it back and did not order anything else. My fajitas had no taste. We will not be coming back. read more

This place has a nice atmosphere and friendly service. I stick to good ole Tex Mex and it is dependably good. My favorite in the whole county. read more

Dont order off their website menu. It's not the same as an updated menu at the restaurant. Place is not going to make it through this pandemic. I would honestly be surprised. They freaking suck now to and that's probably a bad take on me but they just look like they dont care about a thing but quitting time. What a shame. read more

El Patio is a a great place and has become the favorite of myself and several of my friends. Fajitas are top shelf and the Margaritas are popular with the wife. Prices are good for the value received. You won't be disappointed if you like good Mexican food! read more

I Was so disgusted when I went. The greeter stared at me for 5 mins before realizing I needed a table. She was coughing and rubbing her eyes and blowing her nose. She had a chips and sauce with her that she was eating that apparently she needs to finish before she can seat anyone. Once I did finally did get a table she started to scratch her socks. I was so turned off to enjoying a meal at this point I wanted to leave. Even though it took her a good minute to remember I also needed chip and sauce. I got them. I will say my server was good he did his job. But after that I wasn't very hungry. Get your shit together guys I really use to enjoy El patio read more

Nice atmosphere, good food, filling portions at fair price, friendly and rapid service, nice kid's menu. Have been several times for lunch and always leave happy. read more

After a crazy day of running Houston streets we came home to a great dinner and even better margaritas! If you get down this way you must stop in here! We've tried everything on the menu. I think a few of my favs are the enchiladas verde, Vallarta platter(with Diablo shrimp) and fajita nachos!! read more

Food was average. Service pretty good. An 18% tip added on a party of 4? WTF? Who adds a tip on that small a group? Oh well, save me 7% minimum. read more

Its OK.... Queso is good green sauce is good. My quesadillas were swimming in oil yuck. Happy hour margaritas are tiny. Beans and rice taste like they're out of a can. My wife enjoyed her chicken fajitas and the fajita nachos were great. The interior feels right. Definitely Mexican restaurant flare going on. Also seems clean. Always a plus. read more

I originally gave this place a bad review but in hindsight it's not really that bad. If you are hungry and at the courthouse this place is a nice place to eat. read more

Great Service...Love Gina.....authentic taste....clean bathrooms which is very important. I do wish there were larger portions and larger Margaritas for the money.....Overall, a nice place.... read more

Visited El Patio with my wife, we never were waited on... Servers sat at the bar area talking. We waited approximately 10 min then left. For the business to be a local business we expected better service. read more

Great atmosphere and super laid back. First time being here food and drinks were great!

Update: they have salsa verde and it's delicious! Today was my first time eating at El Patio. I like their new location. The atmosphere was quieter than other Mexican restaurants in the area. It was nice, because it was easy to hold a conversation. The food was good. We both ordered the chicken fajitas and have no complaints. The red salsa was a little watery. I prefer a salsa verde and wish I'd asked if they had that. read more

Pleasant venue and friendly staff. I got the Cabo enchiladas to go and they were very delicious.

This is locally owned by a very nice family. The food is usually on par and prices are fair. They make a mean margarita! Love them! Try the veggie quesidilla! read more

We love the food.. Very tex-mex with a little bit of everything on the menu. Wait staff is usually very nice and quick and the prices aren't terrible. Not good for romantic evenings by any means, but good for family celebrations like a birthday or family night out. read more

The service here is pretty good, our waiter Joe was very polite and quick. I ordered the chicken stuffed fried avocado that came with a cheese enchilada, rice, beans and also ordered the chicken vegetable soup. The soup tasted homemade which I really liked, but for $5 a cup it was very small. My avocado was delicious, but the rice was dry and bland, and the enchilada wasn't very appetizing. They've had better food nights so I would like to go back for a different dish and for their wonderful staff. Next time probably won't ask for rice and beans though... read more
