Austin ChronicleMarch 23, 2013Serving the same classic combination dinners on the same Formica tables since 1954, El Patio dishes up Tex-Mex at its purest: enchiladas, crispy tacos, beans, rice, guacamole, and pralines or sherbet.- Jessica JonesMay 14, 2014I don't even like crispy ground beef tacos. I LOVE El Patio's though, I don't know how they do it, but they are doing it right!! Amazing food.
- exfmFebruary 24, 2012A friendly local spot. The kind of place where the owners are always there working and everyone knows each other. Try the nachos we hear they are some of the best in Austin.
Enchilada are really good. I had chicken with Verde sauce. I really like the chips too!
Razorback fans & UT mix beautifully here with good food, southern hospitality and a reliable consistency same as it was when doors first opened.- Jody FergusonFebruary 9, 2018One of Austin’s originals. Always see someone I knew growing up. Perkins’ Special and enchiladas are good.
Alberto PaezOctober 16, 2012If you're a fan of canned chicken, try the chicken, bean and cheese nachos. Yuck.
