Spent 70$ on 3 meals and did not get everything that comes with it. The nachos are disgusting. I would advise people to think twice about eating there. My dog will not even eat it. read more

If I could I would put 0 stars. My husband and I went for a late lunch. We got two margaritas. He got a blue Pacifico. Coming from someone who did her time as a bartender at a Mexican restaurant, this was THE WORST drink I have ever had. It tasted like liquid Benadryl. It was horrible. When my husband asked to get it switched with a Modelo the waitress just replied " there's a big price difference". Again, I worked in the food industry for almost 8 years and never once was that the correct response to a customer not enjoying their food or drink. But wait it gets worse! Besides just having overall rude service from the server/bartender, we had an issue with the food as well. I ordered crazy rice with steak. And instead of onions I asked for the mixed vegetables to be added. All of my broccoli did not have the tops on them, it was just the stem. There was no zucchini or squash which is included in their mixed vegetables. And again, it gets worse! As I was eating my food I bit down into something very hard. I took it out and to my surprise it was a small ROCK! I gave it to my husband asking what it was because I was in shock. He was too, and to make sure we weren't loosing it, he tried to cut it with a knife, wouldn't cut. When we asked for a manager, we told her the situation and my husband dropped it in a empty salsa bowl and it made the sound you would think a bead or marble would make being dropped into a plastic bowl! All she said is " oh wow let me go see what this is about" The manager told the server to take the food away and get me a replacement. But I kindly declined. And my husband asked for the check. They thankfully took the food off of the check. But the drink that he told the server was horrible, was not taken off. Or even discounted. And again the service was just rude about the whole situation with both things. I used to love this place. I have been coming here since I was in high school. But I will NOT be going back. This is the worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant. read more

Food is par. Waiters don't fill your drinks. Avoid if you want good Mexican food. Some waiters are very snobby too.

I got a hamburger and french fries there and I don't know what kind of hamburger meat that was but it didn't like any hamburger meat I've ever had. I do love their fajita combo the chicken in the beef. It's really good but that's a mystery meat in that hamburger. read more

Food was good.. had groundbeef ench's, rice & beans. Had a bottle beer to drink. Also had a "frozen strawberry margarita". It was just a frozen margarita with red food coloring. Waitress was ok. She seemed a tad lost at times but was friendly. Restaurant was clean & tidy. I may go back every now & then. 3.25 out of 5 stars. read more

I paid $18 dollars for 3 street tacos and waited 20 mins at the window. 15 minutes after calling my order in. I will never come here again. The woman at the window was rude the food wasn't good. read more

Great food great atmosphere. The service is great. Food is best Mexican food around here that I've found. They give you plenty of food too! Try the crazy rice!!!!!!! It's delicious ! read more

The street tacos are good . Wife gets crazy rice . Service was good . I see other posts about the fabuloso smell and it is noticeable but I'd rather have that than some other smells I guess . read more

This was my first time to visit El Patio. First for the negative. I ordered fish tacos. The 3 corn tortillas came flat on the plate, next was small chunks of fish (unable to tell what kind of fish or method it was prepared).Then there was a fist full of small chopped onions, and topped with an entire bunch of cilantro ( the plate was entirely green). I removed as much cilantro as possible (which I love) and took one bite. The grease poured off of the taco. The fish smell was so nauseating that I had to cover it with my napkin. My sister shared an avocado dish with me. It was delicious! I also loved the salsa. It had some heat. The chips were a bit thick and not warmed. They met my needs while eating the salsa and advocada. Please learn how to make fish tacos! read more

We Love eating their food it is great but they are getting ridiculous on their upcharges on small stuff we ate there tonight n I ordered to chicken burritos Ala cart n wanted fajita chicken instead of shredded chickenn they charged $2 extra for the fajita chicke an no where on the menu does it say it's an extra charge they said it a charge for any change my point is we eat this all time n never have been charged extra they should let ya know if it's extra when ya order read more

Good is pretty average. Camarones con queso is really good! Staff is friendly. Service on Sunday is usually slow but any other time it's good. Their salsa is pretty bland though. Pretty much tastes like tomato juice. I usually order pick de gallo and mix it with my salsa to make the salsa edible. My other complaint is that while I appreciate the fact that they clean, the cleaner smell is so strong it overpowers the food and sometimes the food tastes like fabuloso! read more

It took atleast 40 mins just to get the food and the waiter we was horrible overall I will NOT be eating there again.

It's not the best mexican food I've ever had but it'll do in a pinch. My husband loves the guacamole and queso. I typically like salsa with chunks of tomato but everything else super well blended. It's good salsa, not very hot. I loved my taco salad. It was super tasty and my husband enjoyed the burrito. We'd definitely go back. read more

Good food. Fast service. Clean restaurant. Salsa is just ok, varies depending on who makes it but street tacos are always delicious

Great food, awesome service. One of my favorite places to eat in Shreveport/Bossier area

This was our third and final visit to this restaurant. They are polite and the place has a nice vibe but the food simply isn't that good. Also, this was supposed to be a review update. What happened to my first review? Why was it removed along with the photos I posted? read more

El patio is great, especially because the have a concurrent drive though for call ahead orders. The Cray Rice is top notch. If you want to save, skip the rice and beans, and get something simple. Just order of the ala carte menu! read more

This is by far the only Mexican place we eat at now. Their guacamole is the best. It's just a simple one, no chunky stuff like onions and tomatoes (which I like but this isn't in there). Cheese dip is great as well! We've had many things but it's just all good. Service is usually good but occasionally it's a little slow, just depends on how busy it is. read more

I love this restaurant! They have them in Many,Zwolle, Louisiana . I always eat the Crazy Rice!! And my mother always eat the fajitas. If u like Mexican Food u should try the Restaurant out!! read more

The food is just not that good. I'd rather have taco bell. The chicken was dry and pine flat and overcooked. The shrimp was overcooked and rubbery. The ground beef burrito meat was gross. The guacamole they served was brown. The queso was decent and the tortillas are small but decent. read more

Delicious food with quick, and friendly service. The pollo creama is one of my favorites! I've only been for lunch but heard from a friend it's good for drinks too. read more

My family has eaten at El Patio a number of times and I order one of two entrees which have always been good (chicken fajitas for 2 & cheese enchiladas). Tonight I ordered something different, a cheese quesadilla and a beef quesadilla. The cheese quesadilla was fine BUT THE BEEF QUESADILLA WAS AWFUL. It was so bad I had to throw it away. Stay away from beef quesadilla and you should be fine. read more

If a "0" was possible you wouldn't deserve it. Went in expecting a half decent meal. Had to wait about 5 minutes for the waiter to bring me and my wife menus for us to review. A group of 8 came in and the water jumped on them quickly. I assume he saw a bigger tip. I motioned to the waiter that we were ready to order but he was more involved with the larger group. He finally came to us to take our order. When the order arrived both dishes were saturated in salt to the point we couldn't and wouldn't eat most of it. I didn't say anything, paid my bill and left. This was about 11 months ago. The waiter was Hispanic. My wife, I and hopefully anybody we warn will ever darken your door again. read more

The Monster Mango Margarita was great! The steak taco salad was good but the meat was a little chewy... tasty but chewy. The server was very good/attentive. They have a HUGE menu and we will be back. Nice to have a restaurant like this so close to us in Keithville. Yay! 2nd visit... Got the skirt steak and it, too, was pretty chewy but it tasted alright. I got the beerita (well, 2 actually!) and they snuck up on me!!! LOL They didn't seem super strong at the time but they were!! Next time, 1 will suffice! ;0) 3rd visit... Got a steak burrito that was supposed to have "cheese sauce" over the top of it but it was soooooo NOT sauce... It was a square piece of white cheese x 3 laid across the burrito... You know the individually wrapped pieces of cheese that are square that comes in a big package? Yeah... That kind of cheese... not SAUCE. The meat was still chewy. My husband was disappointed in his as well-- said the meat was chewy and seemed like it had been boiled as it had no flavor. My final thoughts are: Don't get anything with the fajita steak... or any "steak." The skirt steak was definitely chewy. The drinks are good tho! LOL I have to bring my rating down on the food tho. :( I'm more inclined to go there now just for chips, salsa and drinks rather than food. :( read more

El Patio - Burrito with cheese sauce? No-- melted packaged sliced squares of cheese. - Mexican Near Me - Keithville, Louisiana

I will definitely be going back to El Patio. The chips & salsa were good. Good Margarita's. Good authentic mexicana food. The service was also good. Glad to know now there's a better mexicana restaurant close by than having to drive into town! read more

BEST steak fajitas!! You can dine in or get takeout and the quality is just the same. 10/10 highly recommend!

Our server was very nice, but she could not speak English very well, ok, hardly AT ALL. Our food came out quickly, we ordered a "Keithville". The meat was pretty pasty and did not care for the flavor. The chicken was great as well as the tamale. I wish I could give them a better review, because you can tell that the restaurant is trying very hard. We just will not be returning. read more

Best Mexican food. We are locals and go weekly. Best staff, and wonderful food and atmosphere

My husband and I have been regulars here since they opened. Would go 2-3 times a week at times but the past few times we have been the food has been mediocre and our bill has been incorrect the last two times. My husband only drinks water and I always have tea and have been charged for two drinks each time. When I informed the waiter last time he said oh sorry about that but never fixed it. We are slowly starting to transition to other restaurants now due to this and I'm a little sad as we all loved el patio! read more

I got to high lifters almost every weekend with friends and we stop here after every time. We're always covered in mud and sit outside and they don't mind a bit. The food is always amazing! We've had the enchiladas, burritos, shrimp quesadilla and many more, always amazing. They have vegetarian options as well. The best salsa and the chips are always fresh. read more

Wife and I decided to see if the " rural" version of the newer city version was any good. It was a Friday night, Happy Hour goes from five to closing- we expected a wait to be seated. Not so. Seated within minutes! Our waiter was young and efficient! We both ordered margaritas , chips, salsa and an order of pico de Gallo . The salsa tends to be tasty but mild. The jalapeños in the pico, when mixed, kicks it up a notch. A few drops of the table top Habanero sauce REALLY kicks up the heat. Wife ordered vegetable nachos, I chose beef fajitas . Food came quickly. Portions very ample!! Fajitas not sizzling, but tasty and mixed with fresh vegetables. The chips, like the newer " city" version were thick, unsalted and perfect for scooping up retried beans. Not my favorite chip, but got the job done-- much less browned than the city version. The prices are amazing, beef fajitas costing a little more than ten bucks! Had to bring home a to- go box. Nothing fancy, but a lot of bang for your buck! If you are in the neighborhood at lunch or dinner time-- it's worth a try! read more

Just ok- As a Latina I know "Real/Traditional" Mexican food when I taste it and this is basic Tex-mex. service is average and the food is not of such quality that had us make a 2nd visit. I would put this on equal level with Nicky's, trejos, and el Chico. read more

Hands down one of the best Mexican restaurants around. The queso is ammmaaazzing! The staff is always on point and awesome as well.

We got to El Patio at noon and they sat a table of 8 in 10 minutes. Great service and fantastic food. Fajitas should be split as the lunch portion was huge and tasty. Enchilada and taco plate was excellent. GREAT VALUE and I'll definitely come back when in town. read more

This place has great authentic mexican food! A lot of food for not a lot of money. I would recommend this to all of my friends.

they have great customer service always checking on you . the day i walked in i was feeling sad and there was practically one in there so a man turned on a song and started dancing and made me smile so much . i highly recommend the vegetarian quesadillas or the taco salad read more

I've had better Mexican food. Seems like they need more or different employees. I would still return to the restaurant. But it may be a while. read more

The inside was nice but that's about it. I ordered the fajitas and they came out all cut in small pieces. I spent most of the time digging through the onions and peppers. The salsa was bland and the waiter knew absolutely no English. Overall not impressed. read more

We only ordered Mexican ~~ The Keithville Special & Fiesta meal. In all honesty we were very disappointed. The Red sauce had no flavor,the guacamole was mashed avocado only,no seasoning what so ever. Beans tasted like they were from a can again no seasoning. Chips and salsa ok. The beef was like it was puréed very thin beef texture. The prices are good,but the quality of food has a lot to be desired. We will not recommend this restaurant. The people were nice,but the food was really bad. Just saying read more
