El Patio Restaurant

There are very good places in Austin where there are good Texas-Mexican food (not the Southwest style). The cheese enchiladas have more cheese than any place I have been. They have desert without extra charge - and offer sherbet like they used to in all the mexican diners. The portions of food are more than normal, so after eating there once, you order leass the nest time. The guacomole is smooth and flavorable and they give you more that a tablespoon. The queso is to die for. Can you tell I like cheese? The lines there on Friday and Saturday nites can be long, so get there before dates start - before 7.

The food was the best I've eaten in years. It's "real" Mexican food like I grew up on in San Antonio served on old chipped plates (the real thing). From the Salsa and Chips to the main course was fantastic. The waiters were very helpfull and the owner even asked if everything is ok. Interesting to see the pictures of people who have eaten there over the past 51 years. I wish North Texas had something this good.

El Patio is an Austin landmark. The employees and owner there are really some of the nicest people on the planet. Their service is worth the trip alone. But, a side note, their food is fantastic. Their unique flat tacos are the best tacos I have personally ever experienced. Don't look this place over, it is tucked away. After your mexican food you get complimentary sherbert. What an ending to great food, free great food!

Couldn`t find A better place to eat. The waiters take such good care of you, and you can`t say enough about the food and service.

This to me is the best Mexican food in towm, very consistant in quality and taste. They now serve chips with the salsa (although I did enjoy the crackers). Evem when busy ( and they are most of the time) the service is great. The meals are very reasonable.

A Tex-Mex institution in Austin. Beware though. The salsa is served with crackers (not chips) here.

No so great. I have had better. Trudys, Chuy's and Taco Bueno are better. It is too commerical and not very personal. The Shiner Bock was good though. :)
