I've driven by El Patio countless times and always said to my husband "we gotta check this place…read moreout". Well we finally did. Once for soup and cappuccino around 2:30 and the last time for an early dinner around 4pm. On both occasions the restaurant was immaculate. And so was the gender less bathroom. The service was efficient and warm, and both servers preferred to speak in Spanish. And that's fine. Their menu shows Mexican dishes as well as Colombian dishes. And then everything else. Our soup the first time was a special. Pumpkin soup right before Halloween. It's a huge bowl and I mean huge not large. It was served hot as requested but was delicious. Our sit down meal was a breaded chicken breast with three - yes - 3 sides! The mashed potatoes were creamy. The yucca was boiled and delicious. We also had a mini chicken empanada in a corn outer. It had a touch of sweetness and was a treat for my tastebuds. I had the broiled salmon in their special sauce. The salmon was prepared closer to well done than any other heat and it was as requested. I'll order that again. Our eyes were bigger than our tummy's because when the chicken soup and veggies came, we asked that it be wrapped to go. There was a 1/4 chicken wing and foot in the container. Again, oversized. At $20+ it could be considered pricey. But once you saw how many ingredients there were and that think of chicken you're feeling it was worth it. We will return without question.

Lots of cute couch and chair sections to kick back and enjoy a coffee surrounded by a light rustic decor. I ordered the Macchiato in a short glass cup on a porcelain saucer with a frothy white head floating over the brown hot coffee. I just enjoy the extra step with a good presentation rather than a basic mini expresso paper cup. The baristas were friendly and the bathroom was clean and modern.

The mini grocery part has a lot of directly imported snacks and a lot of pre-made frozen items to take home. I purchase spinach arepas and regular arepas from this section to bring home, and some chocolate cookies from the imported snacks, and ordered an arepa for myself (can't resist! so good!). There are several tables and chairs next to the storefront window- a nice spot for working or hanging, both of which I have done here before. The location is easy to find, in a plaza at a major intersection.

I've never seen such variety of arepas options, we tried the…read moreLa chevere (chorizo jalapeño and cheese), La sifrina (pulled chicken cheese and avocado mayo), and La llanera (steak avocado cheese and tomato). I also decided to check out some of the frozen options. I've never had Marquesa but I LOVED it, I would describe it as a frozen layered desert, somewhere in between ice cream and tiramisu. Definitely would get again. I also bought some frozen precooked táquenos but haven't tried them yet. Inside there is a seating section and a market section. Overall expect to get really good food, downside is it's not fast (about 10-15 minute wait) and it's not "cheap".

You come to a cuban restaurant this is what you eat, staple dishes, there other things on the menu but if you want an authentic cuban meal this is the way to go. I noticed other people before we got there ordered other plates and their food took a bit longer. Just a tip go with the staple dishes ;) Why the four stars then? Well the ambiance!! Atmosphere was a bit boring and servers were a bit shy. If you been to Miami you know these restaurants are loud and fun. Maybe get maybe some live music or train better the servers, Just my opinion but the service and food was great! Thanks def coming again.

My mom ordered the mondongo which was an extremely generous portion (she took half home!), my dad ordered punta de anca and it was perfect, and I had to have their calentado (beans, rice, chicharrón, steak, eggs, arepa with cheese - full plate!). I didn't save room for dessert will have to come back!

The barista brewed me a nice single espresso which tasted good but the price at $4.25 was obnoxious and superseded the taste - again this was a single shot of coffee. I did appreciate the brown paper cup bearing the logo and also acknowledging that the coffee is locally roasted. The gender neutral bathroom was absolutely ultra contemporary with gray floor tiles and white rectangular wrap around wall tile with some potted greenery that popped against that gray, white and black color scheme.

Anyway, now that the trademark is expired they're going with the name Tall Boy again. Pretty neat. As for the bar itself, it kind of has a calculated divey quality to it. Pretty comfortable, I had a few drinks and enjoyed my time there. I actually stopped by to see a band, Cinema Stereo. It was a good time. Nice place to see a band live, very intimate. I'd be shocked if they could fit more than 100 people there. Overall 5 stars. I liked the vibe alot and would definitely come back if other rock bands came through.
