The service was great The waiter was attentive to our every requests and conversation However the food is scrumptious and fulfilling Great for the any occasion Most definitely recommended I enjoyed it very much
What a cute little place in a fun area! First time visitor to this family-owned place open since 1977. We sat outside on a cute little patio shaded by two big beautiful trees. Great service by a very friendly server who shared the history of the place with these out-of-towners. We ordered - WHAT ELSE? - flat cheese enchiladas with Christmas sauce. Super cheesy, super yummy! Served with tastey pinto beans and nice papas. Also had delicious chili rellenos with pintos and papas, too. Great surprise at end of the meal: giant, hot, fresh sopapillas! Complimentary with each plate! Very glad we found this little gem!
Delicious meals with an abundance of flavor and a "home cooked" vibe. Service is fantastic & attentive. The outdoor patio is a wonderful spot to enjoy a meal. Provecho!
Great food, attentive staff, cool use of an old bungalow as a restaurant. El Patio checked a lot of boxes, all in the right way. Recommend as an appetizer the frito pie with red chilies . Beer and limited cocktails available to wash that down. A limited number of mains but they are all excellent. My chicken enchiladas were very saucy, rich, and filling. Decent sopapillas too. Only negative--parking but what do you expect, it is right across from UNM.
Wow. Really solid food. Impressed both times I ate here. Terrific green chile (kinda new to this style with potatoes in it but man it had some flavor and a kick)
