El Patio

The food was good and the servers were nice but it was extremely slow and they actually forgot to send the order in once we placed it. They made up for it by giving us complimentary margaritas but we were very hungry. Either way, I would still go back.

Hosted a few groups at El Patio over the summer. Fun setting (including the food truck and the patio lighting), delicious tacos (the fish tacos were my fave) and cold Mexican beer. All good. My guests seemed to enjoy themselves and at least one has been back a few times. I plan to visit again soon to enjoy this extended TO summer. The self-​serve aspect is fine; it requires some movement through a crowd but adds to the atmosphere.

Went to El Patio with a couple of Mexican friends, we tried their grilled corn which is smothered in a creamy sauce, cheese and chili powder, it was delicious! My friends said it took them back to Mexico.
It is a different, fun, spicy ambiance, sort of like sit yourself, get your own food and drinks, and share a table with strangers type of thing, so it might not be for everybody, but for me I had a fun time.
It’s great for getting a bucket of Coronas and snacking on Mexican treats.

I love this place for my lunch break. Great tacos and guac. Best fish taco I’ve ever had. Margaritas and sangria on draft is a nice touch.

Some of the worst service I have ever experienced in the city.
Came to sit on the patio for some truck tacos and coronas but it got really windy so decided to move indoor to their connecting restaurant El Caballito Tequila Bar. After a long wait for the food to arrive, my boyfriend went back to El Patio to inquire, where the server was confused and said she must’ve forgotten about it — thanks Captain Obvious! To make matters worse the bartender blamed him for trying to ‘dine and dash’ which made no sense since you need to eat to ‘dine’ and and the restaurant can’t be holding your ID and a creditcard if you’re going to ‘dash’. *Head shake* Zero stars for service.
The tacos weren’t bad once they arrived. Some comments I would make are that it’s a tad small for the price — it is about $ 5 per taco depending on which you choose, and the shell should be doubled up since it gets soggy real fast.
The assistant manager came to see us after we ate to offer complimentary tacos for the incident but we were really disappointed with the entire experience at that point and wanted to leave that we actually turned down free food.
Needless to say I would never return and never recommend anyone to come here.

Really cute patio set up. Good for friends gathering together. Really loud with music so maybe not the best place to take a date.
Drinks and food are self serve. One food truck to place taco orders. One bar area to place drinks. Tables are seat yourself and communal. No servers/​service, only people to take away your finished drinks and plates.
You can order tacos individually or $ ²⁵⁄₃₀ for six. All have to be the same kind. Had the baked fish tacos and they were nothing special. Really messy to eat if you’re sharing with friends because they don’t offer plates and you have to get your own napkins from the bar (not available at table).
They offered buckets of corona five for $ 25 I believe. Also had premixed margaritas that the bartender will gladly tell you what’s in them. Bar was a bit slow. Drinks were a bit watered down. At one point the bartender lost her bottle opener in the bathroom so only one other bartender was available.
Patio has a great ambiance. Loved the lights hanging, made it feel very cosy. The music on Friday was amazing! A mix of old school jams and current hip hop.
Overall, would come back here just for their patio and beer with friends :)
