El Patio Mexican Restaurant Sahuarita: Reviews & Ratings
Absolutely an amazing meal. Staff was friendly. Drinks were heavy. The Flan was one of the best I've ever had. Highly recommend. Guacamole was perfect. If I had to judge anything, unsalted. But understood for the local populous. Well done!
I had a wonderful stay at el patio, and a big part of it was thanks to Julia. Her exceptional service made all the difference. From her warm welcome to her attentive care throughout the meal, she ensured everything was perfect and always came back to check if we needed anything. Julia was friendly, professional, and truly made my visit memorable. I highly recommend and if you're lucky enough to have Julia as your server, you're in for a fantastic experience!"
Tried this restaurant recently, went back a second time and was impressed both times. Good food, good service. We love their white sauce and their green sauce. Loved their chicken soup.
I've eaten here twice now and both times were great experiences! All the food served was fresh, warm and delicious while still being served quickly. The jamaica is perfect, not too sweet not too tart and the salsa is tasty but more mild than I would have expected (I've tried both mild and hot). Our servers have been very attentive and friendly; I would definitely recommend this restaurant!
Great food and service. Always a good meal.
Great Food and Staff We visited on a Saturday evening at about 5:00. We had about a 15 minute wait which is no surprise for a Saturday night. We have been here before and it is one of our favorites for Mexican food. Complimentary chips and salsa are brought to the table right away. Diners have a choice of mild or spicy salsas. Both are very flavorful and the spicy does have a bit of heat. They have a full bar with several reasonably priced beers on tap and diners near us were really enjoying their Cadillac Margaritas being made to order by a very personable bartender. My wife ordered her favorite Garlic Shrimp dinner. 6 large shrimp and vegetables in a tomato butter garlic sauce that is to die for, served with rice, refried beans and warm tortillas on the side. I opted for the Menudo which is typically only available in Mexican restaurants on weekends as it takes a long time to make. I wasn't sure if I've ever had it before so they gladly gave me a sample to try and I liked it. The 'meat' in Menudo is tripe. Tripe is animal stomach lining and is light in flavor and tender having cooked for a long time. The broth is light, red from chilies - not spicy and contains hominy (corn). The menudo is brought to the table in a bowl with a side plate of chopped onion, cilantro, lime wedges and a shaker of oregano. Instead of tortillas, it is accompanied with bolillo, a grill toasted buttered bread with a somewhat crunchy outside and soft inside. The menudo exploded with flavor after I added a few shakes of oregano, squeezed in a couple lime wedges and added all of the onions and cilantro. The bread adds a little tasty textural factor to the meal. Both meals were 5-star and for as busy as the restaurant was, service by the staff is attentive and friendly.
Always excellent food. Always excellent service. Our #1 go to restaurant in the area.
Red menudo was on point. Great place for breakfast. The bar looked loaded, and it could be a nice place on a Friday Saturday night for dinner and drinks.
