The owners were working so hard to take care of their customers and the food was so delicious. We will definitely go back and recommend it.

We are visiting Branson. Found them looking at restaurants near us. Very flavorful food and wonderful customer service. Our server was so pleasant and took care of anything we asked for. Food was served without much wait. We got the trio dip for a starter. Really enjoyed that. I got the chicken Verde enchiladas and husband got the Mexican burrito. Very tasty and presentation was very nice. Soupy beans have lots of meat and flavor too. Highly recommend. read more

This place is amazing, we first came in when they had just changed over and have loved watching the improvements to the restaurant. Came back in tonight and The salsa is delicious and fresh and the flautas were the best meal I've had in a while. My hubby had amazing enchiladas verde. Everything was so fresh and looked beautiful. Thank you, El Patio, we don't normally drive to Hollister to eat, but we'll be back!!! The servers were so friendly and attentive as well! read more

I agree with a previous reviewer. Clean, bright, beautiful atmosphere. Nice music! Service was great and the food was as well!

Mediocre food, slow and inattentive service. This isn't our first choice in Branson/Hollister, but it is usually the closest. Today we came thru the doors at 8:30pm, we know they close at 9 and planned to be quick, as we only needed a to go order. The hostess stood talking to two other servers before finally looking at us and saying they were closed. Open sign still on. Sign on door says closes at 9pm. Save yourself the disappointment and avoid El Patio. read more

Ok, ok! I see you El Patio! Located in the heart of Hollister, in the same plaza as Country Mart, you will find this gem of a Mexican restaurant! The food was absolutely outstanding from the first chip to the last spec of rice! The salsa starts out with a very sweet taste and ends with a very small kick that fades very quickly. I had a menu item that came with steak, shrimp, chicken and bell peppers. The meat was tender and juicy with amazing flavor. The rice and beans didnt last long and the portion sizes were perfect from start to finish. The atmosphere was enhanced with upbeat hispanic music just loud enough to hear, but not loud enough to drown out conversations. Our waiter was well versed and very helpful with the menu. He was quick to check on us enough, but not too much. He took really good care of us leaving us wanting to come back. The menu was very fun with a lot of colors, a well laid out item list, and a large quantity of options for the entire family. The place housed a large seating area and it had a decent amount of people. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for there next grea read more

This is a weekly spot for my networking group, so you could say I have had a little bit of everything on the lunch menu. The shrimp and pineapple fajitas are so delicious! The steak quesadillas on the combo menu with a nice chicken enchilada is also great. So many choices and I have had the time! read more

I've had a lot of Mexican food this was bland and I don't even know what they had for enchilada sauce but there was no flavor. We had chicken enchiladas and cheese enchiladas. The salsa tasted weird. The rice was okay but the refried beans we're ot good. We we're very disappointed. The service was okay but they only had 2 waiters and they were busy. We won't be going back there. It's hard to find good Mexican food in the Midwest.. read more

We had friends in town and had heard of this place. We will be regulars!!! The service was amazing, the food was outstanding. The carnitas were fantastic and mom said the chili rellenos great. You can tell they love and take pride in what they do. From the street you might expect how amazing it is inside. I was so clean and bright inside. We will go back soon. read more

Newly remodeled, service was great, food was right on! Order before for pickup and the portions were not as plentiful as dine in. No biggy, the'll get it together. We will be back! read more

Service was horrible, food was evenly as bad. Just a plain little place that I can never recommend to anyone. Ordered a 12 ounce margarita and got maybe a six. Forgot some of our food even after the hour waiting on it. I just wanted to like this place but it was one of the worst yet. read more

This is my boyfriend and I's first time eating here and it was great. He got a chimichanga and I got the al pastor tacos. Both of them were delicious, especially the al pastor tacos. We also got the horchata and it was really big. The service was great, our servers were really friendly. The inside was very welcoming and bright. read more

The clerk at the fossils store at the outlet soar to go here. She was right! The food was very good and the service was great.

El Patio - Meal 1 - Mexican Near Me - Hollister, Missouri

This was my husband and my first time eating here. We arrived at 6 pm / Wednesday night. El Patio wasn't very busy so we were quickly seated. Our waiter immediately took our drink order and was very attentive to our needs throughout dinner. Chips and salsa are complimentary. The chips were fresh and salsa on the medium side of heat. I ordered a margarita and chicken chimichanga. My husband ordered the fajitas for one. My margarita was good. Definitely had alcohol in it (not a complaint). The food presentation was nice; however, it was very bland. The chicken in neither entree was seasoned making it not very appetizing or tasting like a Mexican dish. The refried beans were soupy. The portions were large enough for both of us to have lunch the next day. As for ambiance, the restaurant is in a strip mall and from what I read was recently renovated. That said, there really wasn't anything that gave the Mexican feel to the restaurant. read more

New owners and remodel!!! Delicious!!! Pineapple Shrimp Fajitas fantastic!!! Loved the salsa and corn Dips!!! Hope you'll give them a try!!!

Chips were stale and chicken tasted freezer burnt. I don't not recommend this restaurant. Go somewhere else read more

First time checking out El Patio last night. Instantly we were impressed with the look of the restaurant knowing how it looked in the past. It was bright clean and had a really fresh feeling. Having a full bar is always a plus in my book, and their margaritas were awesome. My family of three all ordered apps, and different fishes and we all very happy. My wife is a vegetarian and they had a lot of options to accommodate her which is hard to come by in Branson. We will definitely be returning. read more

Absolutely outstanding food!! Service was great, food is fresh and hot. The place feels brand new!! !

We've eaten here at least 10 times and thought it was pretty good. This is more of a warning. We had a bad day and decided to get a Margarita. The waiter asked if we'd like a small or large. I said small, thankfully. He went away and came back asking what type of Tequila we wanted, which has never happened to us. We're really not drinkers, so I said: We're not picky, whatever you have is fine. That was my first mistake. He brought a very small drink that was over ice, not blended. We hadn't even thought about asking for blended. Second mistake. It tasted really strong like it was straight tequila over ice. We didn't really like it, but didn't say anything. Then we got the bill. We were charged $5 for the Margarita and $8.50 for Don Julio Reposado!!?? $13.50 for a small Margarita?? Absolutely ridiculous. Needless to say, they lost good customers! read more

Best food around St. Louis. We drive 35 mills just to eat here. The chefs special is a treat.

Update on my review from previous years. I have eaten here five or six times when I was in Hollister and it was great. Ate there yesterday and it was terrible. It looks like new owners. The menu is totally different and the food is definitely different. There was zero flavor to the chicken enchilada lunch plate that I ordered. One of my favorite things about this place has been their salsa. It also lacked flavor. Rice was dry, refried beans were served in a bowl and were cold inside. Nothing like the previous beans that they served. They were delicious. And, portions were smaller this time. The two stars were for clean place and fast friendly service. I probably will not go back. read more

Chile verde was weird, salsa and tacos were bland, chips were limp, margaritas were flavorless and watery with strange black salt that had weird texture and taste. Will not be returning. read more

Ordered some taco dish and substituted corn tortillas. Feel apart and had to just eat insides of tacos which had tiny chunks of beef mostly filler. Rice bland except for the curry flavor and I'm assuming this contributes to the unnatural yellow color. Beans had no flavor even with the melted cheese on top. Chips were cold. Salsa blah I've had and made better. Finally when my food came I asked the waiter a second time for the hot sauce and he gave me a squirt bottle of it. It had a nice kicked and made the regular salsa edible. Margarita tasted like cheap sour mix BUT it was cold. Service was some of the worst I've had. He took the order, dropped the food and came back for the last time which is when I asked for the check. There was maybe ten other people in the restaurant that were mostly done & leaving. The saving grace was when I walked out the door. TL;DR soggy tortillas, weak margaritas & poor service. read more

The food is good here; however, on our last two visits we were over charged. Pay attention to the menu and be sure to check your ticket before paying. About a month ago, we ate there and my tacos were listed at $9.99, but we were charged $11.50, and they would not change the price when they were shown the discrepancy from the menu to the ticket. We didn't return for some time, due to this incident. On our most recent visit, we ordered two different items and were over charged by $1.49 and $4 respectively. This time they took of $3.00 of the $5.49 in overcharges. I think this will be our last visit. read more

We were hungry and unfamiliar with the area. We always use Yelp to locate a lunch spot for us. This was close but we don't usually go to a 3 star restaurant. We thought we would give it a try. I think3 stars is about right. It is very average Mexican food. The chips are terrible but the quesadilla was good. If you don't set your expectations up too high you will not be disapointed. read more

El Patio - Mexican Near Me - Hollister, Missouri

We have a lot of our lunch meetings here, seeing as it's just right around the corner from our office. We have had nothing but wonderful experiences with El Patio, our food is always at our table in a reasonable time (sometimes they're ridiculously fast, I don't know how they do it). They're friendly and very flexible to meal adjustments which we greatly appreciate since we have several workers with severe dietary restrictions. They have a wide variety and it tastes amazing, the only warning I would give is that a lot of their dishes are pretty spicy so just a heads up to those of you who can't handle your jalapenos (like me...). However, you can always order without so problem solved. -Show Me Log Homes- read more
