this was the worst mexican food (if you can even call it that) ive ever had...it taste like the food was bought from the dollar store and made by the whitest of white people...the salsa tasted like it was from a jar, the cheese wasnt even melted on the beans and there was some weird sauce on the enchilada that looks like it was the sauce from chef boyardee raviolis, and the chile relleno wasnt even right. it was just a pepper skin with chicken under it and what appeared to be the chef boyardee sauce again with a white queso dip mixed together.. nobody should eat there and that food should have not been served. the best thing about my meal was the budweiser i had. to wash down what little bites i could stand

The food is pretty Americanized but it tastes great. Im personally not a fan of the white American cheese that these kinds of places have, but there a good amount of more authentic option. The chile colorado is my favorite, but the seasoning on everything tastes very familiar to me. The beans and rice taste like my grandmas which makes this place very comforting to me. A lot of the staff speak English as a second language, so if you cant make it through a small language gap (which if you want more authentic Mexican food shouldnt be an issue) Id say go to a place where the staff only speak English.

WAITER was very impatient, His demeanor was less than favorable. 1st time here of coarse we will have questions. Food presentation was scary, pictures to follow. I ordered chicken chimichaunga which looked burnt, small for a full order. To my suprise the chimichaunga was very good, not so much on the ends, but the inner layer was good. Beans are to wet, rice was tasty. The nacho supreme was as expected a nacho supreme lol. unfortunately we will not be back.

From the time we sat down the service was amazing. The staff was like a well-oil machine, constantly refilling beverages and clearing plates. We got a pitcher of margaritas for $15 and some change, the pitcher was large enough for all four of us to have two margaritas. All of our food was delicious, my quesadilla was one of the best Ive ever had. This place is in strip mall but dont let that fool you. This will be my go-to place for authentic Mexican food.

I LOVE this restaurant! They have great chips and salsa that they give you right away. They serve your drinks very quick, with cheap prices for yummy margarita pitchers. They have a great, low-cost selection especially for vegetarians. Best veggie fajitas ever! The food comes out so fast, youd be surprised. Very friendly service! My favorite Mexican restaurant and Ive been to many in the area. I highly recommend this hidden gem!

Unusually good food and excellent service. Very inexpensive too. This was our first visit and we will be back. Between us we had tacos, burritos, chili rellenos and enchiladas - all fresh , well prepared and tasty. Not smothered in cheese and lettuce like some places. Lots of selection on the menu and prices are extremely reasonable. Server was fast and attentive. This is our new favorite.

My husband & I stopped in for a quick bite to eat. It was our first time at this restaurant & we had a great experience. We were greeted right away by the staff. Our server Guadalupe (guy) was very attentive & kind. The owner was also very attentive & kind. He was out helping the staff. Well definitely be back. This restaurant is very clean...A+!!!

Based on the high reviews I decided to go here for the first time. Unfortunately the service was horrible. The server had a bad attitude. He was unwilling to answer basic questions about the menu. As for the food, I had the lunch fajitas and they were only ok. I wouldnt call this Authentic Mexican food.

I dont know what it is, but the ground beef at El Patio is addicting. I had asked the hostess once about it and she said "it must be the love..." So, ever since then, we have renamed El Patio "The Love". The food is simple, but great. Prices are cheap, and the staff is always very friendly and fast.

My first time yesterday .service was really quick for being at Noon. I am a native Honduran and I know when a meal is authentic. The tortilla for the quesadilla was very tasty and delicious. I loved the guacamole with the soft garlic taste. I will definitely go back.

i love this place! I lived in California and have been to Mexico, but this place has the best Margaritas ever (Texas margarita). The prices are very reasonable and Ive ordered so many different things from the menu and have never been dissapointed.

The food at El Patio is very bland. My server was rude and dragged his feet. The bathroom didnt have any paper towels and there was toilet paper on the floor. Everyone knows a dirty bathroom gives insight on how they keep the kitchen. Disgusting.

Food was good and the service was excellent. My expectations were low considering the prices, but the servers and other staff were phenomenal. Someone was always checking on us and refilling our chips. Very polite. Id recommend it to anyone!

We love this place and go all the time! Food is delicious, prices good, and service is as good as it gets! I swear my glass is never less than half full lol. And you can get a glass of wine for like 3 bucks, and it is filled to the top!

Literally saw 2 Roaches crawling on the booths during dinner..I told the very rude waiter who killed them and didnt even apologize or act the least bit surprised. Reported them to the health department and never going back!

OUR APPETIZER WAS A CHEESE NATCHO, THE CHEESE WAS WATERY. THE BEANS WERE MUSH LIKE THE QUACAMOLE. THE CHEESE ENCHILATA HAD RED SAUCE AND NO CHEESE. WE PAID OUR BILL AND WILL NEVER RETURN. THE WORST FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD!

My wife and I go at least 4 to 6 times a month. The chicken enchiladas with verde sauce are "outstanding". The heat varies,but the taste is always there!!! The service is fast and friendly,chips and salsa good as well.

Was really great. Had the mole. Waitstaff was super nice, food was good, restaraunt was clean, and the whole meal was very inexpensive. Id recommend this restaraunt to anyone looking for some tasty casual mexican food.

The absolute worst mexican food Ive ever had. Anyone who eats here twice obviously doesnt have a clue what even decent mexican food is. Taco Bell has better food! So disappointed since its so close to our house.

Speedy service! Free chips & salsa! Vegetarian dishes available. The veggie fajitas are DELISH & wonderfully priced! The restaurant in Troy is clean, including the rest room! I will be going back!
