Wonderful place for supper. Very amazing staff and friendly customer service. Everything I have tried is always amazing and tastes absolutely delicious.

El Patio looked like a good place to try, so we did. We mistakenly ordered both the white queso and bean dip then I went crazy, and added guacamole dip. Our waiter was a great sport and just went along with me on my crazy appetizer adventure. Mrs. Flip Out and I shared the steak fajitas, and they were great. Both Littles just had to have cheese burgers and the enjoyed them. The staff and atmosphere were great and worth the stop along I-40.

We chose to sit at the bar. It took the bartender a few moments to acknowledge us, as they were PACKED! Then, he was fun and made me a delicious margarita. The food is your basic Mexican restaurant type, plentiful and good. Would return.

Fast friendly service food was plentiful and delicious. I had a Chile Relino with Enchilada came with rice and beans, of course free chips and salsa were provided, salsa was perfect and chips were warm and fresh. Place was packed but still took care of all guests. Table beside us was noisey but they were having fun. Not a big deal. Margaritas were large and excellent I had two at 10 each.

I hate this kind of place... Because I don't live anywhere near here and will likely never be able to come back. This is the kind of place you'll want to eat at all the time. It will haunt you in your dreams if you're not able to. I got the street tacos and they were extra flavorful and cooked to perfection. We were outside on "El Patio" and it was kind of hot. We had a dog with us, and the waitress brought out a water bowl for her without us asking! The bathroom is pretty snazzy too.

What an excellent surprise! The service, food, and atmosphere were top notch. I wish I traveled I-40 more often because I would eat here as often as possible. Yum!

We love Mexican food and El Patio is one of the best. Service was great. Waitress checked on us continually and was so friendly. Food came out hot and was very tasty. Seasoning on both dishes was perfect to bring out the full flavor. Atmosphere was pleasing and made the experience comfortable and enjoyable.
