Excellent food and atmosphere. Decent prices. The place was very busy inside and out. Don't let the parking lot fool that you are in a rough place. The customers and atmosphere is very nice. They have live music on the patio often. They have a large patio and a big potion of it is covered so it's nice out there even if it's raining. We were also very pleased their attentive service even though there many people there and about half of the tables inside and out were full. This is now one of my favorite Mexican spots in town.
Absolutely phenomenal service! Friendly and super quick on everything. You can tell this is a place that cares about your dining experience. Food is just like all the other Mexican restaurants around town which is really good. But the service makes this place stand out. They did a nice job with the patio too. Got the burrito Lexington. If I ordered it again I'd just get the cheese sauce but that's only because that's always my preference
Our new go-to Mexican restaurant! I'm not sure how long El Patio has been open, but we just recently discovered it with our friends. First, the patio area is very nice with plenty of seating and a small stage for live music! There was a band that performed while we were there. They seem to be regulars and they were definitely a vibe. The food was very good as well! Timely and delicious! I of course recommend trying their margaritas as they were wonderful. I think we also got a pina colada (many drinks were had lol) which was also great! Finally, the service was wonderful! I highly recommend!
I've been trying to get to this restaurant for a while. It did not disappoint! It was not busy, so we were seated immediately. There was a 2 for one lime margarita special that was great! I had rocks the hubby had frozen they were very good. The hubby had the 4 enchilada combo I like the cheese, he liked the beef. I had a la carte Chile releno cheese and it was amazing! The staff was amazing, super friendly and even brought over a competently cup of queso that was great! We will be back!
The staff was extremely attentive. We were offered more chips and salsa. The food was really good inside the restaurant and leftover. Service was extremely fast (but we were the only people seated). There are a ton of TVS, so you could definitely catch all lf the sports games.
El Patio has the best patio (hence the name)... under cover and both heated and cooled for comfort year round. The inside is for sports fans (there has to be 100 TVs!). The food is five stars, and the garlic shrimp is something I dream of (think shrimp scampi but better!). I can't recommend the mucho margarita, but I love happy hour 2for1... and if you go - find SNOOP DOG! read more

I have gotten take out now twice and great both times. The location is tucked in beside the Hispanic market behind chase bank on Richmond road. The service was great the employees genuinely seem happy to have their restaurant. Food is delicious! We will definitely return and come in to eat sometime. It's cute and clean inside. I'd take this over the more expensive Mexican restaurants ( Like Campestre which is a joke and expensive!) absolutely anytime. Very happy with my dinner. read more

El Patio has been getting rave review on Yelp and some other community discussion boards. With Mexican food being my favorite I just had to check them out so we ordered takeout. I love salsa...so if you don't have a good salsa I'm probably going to knock off quite a few points. El Patio has a really good one though! It had just a tiny amount of heat which I quite liked. I was excited to see they had a Choripollo because not many in town do. It was just ok though. Not bad but not near the best I've had. Everything else was really tasty though. Finally, we added on some takeout frozen margaritas as well. They were nice and strong but I thought they were missing something flavor wise. I'll happily go back and do more market research though since the food was so good. read more
With all of these great reviews we just had to try El Patio for ourselves. Located off Richmond Rd. in a strip mall behind Chase bank, this Mexican restaurant gets high scores in all the things that matter most. First of all, we were seated quickly and brought chips snd salsa. I think it's important for a Mexican restaurant to have a good salsa, and theirs was really good. Our waiter was friendly and efficient. We never had a long wait for anything we needed. We started with guacamole and the cheese dip, and for our entrees I had the chicken chimichanga and my husband had a chicken dish, the Pollo Guanajuato. The entrees were quite large and very tasty! A great value for your money. We both enjoyed our food and look forward to coming back soon. read more
Let me start with the service was awesome!! I didn't catch our servers name, but they did a good job! The food was ehhh. It was ok but not great. We had fajitas and they were hot but kinda mushy. Flavor was just ok. I would go back and try something else, but there are too many other restaurants that are right on the money for these guys to not be! read more

We sat outside on the patio on a Saturday for dinner. Service was very prompt and efficient with multiple servers waiting on us. The Guacamole and Queso were very good! I liked the chips and the salsa was tasty. I got the Deluxe Burrito and requested no meat and to substitute with vegetables and they were very accommodating of my request. The Burrito was huge and it tasted delicious. I recommend El Patio. read more

I could not have better things to say about our experience! The service was excellent, the patio was lovely, the salsa and cheese dip were amazing and all seven of us LOVED our food. The Burrito Lexington was excellent and could be shared with someone else. This is my new favorite spot in town. read more

You know what they say... if I could give it ten stars, I would. Oh, I think I just made that up. You know what else I made up? The saying: I've never met a burrito that I couldn't finish. Well, that particular statement no longer rings true. All thanks to El Patio, the home of my new favorite Mexican restaurant in Lexington. The Richmond Road location is definitely hidden, in the former Life Brew location. With it's red walls, and immaculate decor, it's very modern and contemporary. They opened in the midst of the pandemic craziness, four months ago. As we pulled in I noticed the neon sign scrolling the special of the day, the fajitas. Chicken fajitas is what my husband usually orders anyways, so he was ready to order as soon as the sat down. I had to ask the waiter for a recommendation of the best burrito. The burrito deluxe is what our phenomenal waiter recommended, and his definition keyword was "huge". Huge was almost an understatement. To say his recommendation didn't disappoint, is definitely an understatement. The steak inside was phenomenal and the spices were like nowhere else in Lexington. Everything was flavorful without being overly spicy. My husband is a hard one to please and he was impressed from the moment we sat down and his request for homemade salsa was fulfilled to not one, but two house made hot sauces. read more

I was trying very hard to give this a 5, but I learned from someone if you give a place a 5 that means you will be hard-pressed to find anything better. Their location is a little hard to find, they are behind Shammy car wash which is next to Qdoba. To go through Shammy car wash from behind their building you will drive by their door front. in the back corner behind the International Market. Their sign is not very visible from the main parking area of the shopping plaza. Upon entering warmly greeted, I would say they are very attentive at customer service, I had no problems with drinks running dry, or them making sure there is nothing further they could do for me, and if there were any concerns to please let them know. The place is clean, very modern and clean they have only been open for 5 weeks, It's a slightly different atmosphere than your typical Mexican restaurant and not in a bad way. Where I am being critical is the food came out quickly, hot, and all looked fresh, but and it may be personal preference but I normally expect strips of steak and these were smaller finer pieces and with the oil, they saute in, everything sorta looked the same color. more of a presentation issue. not picture perfect. and steak could use some seasoning I think, the taste got lost in the cooking process somewhere. It was good, don't get me wrong, it was a good value as well, they don't overcharge you for soft drinks. This is a place worth trying! I give it a Recommend rating read more

This was my first time visiting El Patio, but definitely will not be my last. I'm not sure how I had never heard of this restaurant before. It's tucked back on Richmond Road. The service was great. Every employee spoke to us as they walked by and checked to make sure we were taken care of. The food tasted incredible. I had the chicken chimichanga with rice. Everything tasted fresh and very flavorful. My husband has a burrito and loved it. read more

We have two go-to Mexican spots in town, one has a great features menu and the other one has amazing tacos, tortas and the like. We decided to try something new yesterday, and for what it was, it didn't disappoint. The menu is no different than any of a dozen other Mexican restaurants: queso, nachos, fajitas, queso, chimichangas, etc. That said, the quality and portion size was better than any other standard Mexican restaurants in town. When I'm in the mood, I'll definitely be back, especially for the chile relleno which was probably the best I have ever had. read more
