    Both were very delicious. Ordering both again! Best rice and beans in a Mexican restaurant.

    3 Tacos

    Ordered the three tacos a la carte! The service was extremely quick during a busy time on a Saturday evening. Along with this, I really enjoyed my meal and consistently come back to this location due to the quality of the food. Will continue to be back!

    El Patio in Troy is hands-down my favorite spot--especially for their Texas margaritas! I've been coming here for a long time, and I have to say, no other location compares when it comes to their margaritas. The guy who makes them (and I'm honestly embarrassed I don't know his name by now) is a master. He's been there for years, and every single time, they're spot-on. Tonight they made a huge batch for Cinco de Mayo, and it just reminded me why I keep coming back. The food is solid--fresh, flavorful, and always hits the spot--but those Texas margaritas? Absolute perfection. If you're a margarita person, this is the place. Cheers to the team at El Patio Troy!

    Lunch special chicken fajitas

    I was seated immediately. I got water and a basket of chips with salsa. Some of the chips were very dark brown, overcooked. It's okay, I had plenty to eat. It took me longer to look over the menu because I thought I would get something different but I didn't, I got the fajita. I ordered the chicken fajitas lunch special and it was not the regular size. Lunch special size was the right amount. I ate all of it and was stuffed. I bring home leftovers with the regular size. Great service as always!!!!

    Stop at El Patio for authentic Mexican food! Their portions are big and their salsa is delicious! Their menu has lots of combinations to choose from and their service is prompt.

    Restaurant was practically empty when we came in. Chicken could use more work - Tasted old Great decor. Good food overall - Loved their lunch and dinner combos. Good for the price. The staff forgot my drink and needed some prompting.

    Went in for my birthday and was also Taco Tuesday. I use to enjoy going here but we will start going elsewhere from now on. All 4 of us felt great until later in the day and then everyone was sick with stomach issues all at the same time. We all had pretty much the same thing. Plus had other issues. Arrived to an almost empty restaurant. Asked for a booth since we have an autistic child who will try and move around the restaurant in a regular chair. 1st man sitting us said there was none available despite giving details and sat us directly beside a large corner booth with no other people sitting in the section. 2nd person taking order gladly moved us to the booth but then they all started speaking in Spanish so who knows what they were saying. Now to the food. We got the 4 tacos for $5 and they wasn't special at all. Shells tasted old and had a burnt stale taste to them. Meat wasn't very hot. Also got the ACP that is supposed to have cheese sauce on it but that was nonexistent. Had to use Queso we got and paid extra for. The Queso wasn't great either it tasted watered down and had absolutely no flavor to it. Salsa was ok. Chips were hard and stale. Drinks were good though. Definitely won't be going back and will start going to other places

    It's right by the HMart. Ordered guacamole dip, enchilada a la carte with chicken, red sauce, 3 chicken tacos a la carte with onions and cilantro and a guacamole dip. The hot and mild salsa mixed is okay. The corn chips are thick and are also just ok. The guacamole isn't fresh. Looked like it came out of a tube in fact and was doctored up with some cilantro and that's about it. The tacos come with shredded chicken, onion, cilantro and green onion too. The chicken tacos were so-so. The enchiladas might be one of the worst I have ever eaten. It's the sauce. It tastes like it came out of a huge vat or can. It reminds me of a bad tomato soup that comes with grilled cheese. The chicken inside with the green pepper and tomatoes isn't too bad. The whole thing as a whole is disappointing. The amount of chicken inside the enchilada is quite sparse as well. I gutted the enchiladas since the sauce wasn't so pleasant and I was done after one bite. The chicken inside is barely enough for two small morsel or bites even. The waiter took back the bad guacamole. He asked if we wanted more chips and we haven't seen him for a while now. We had to ask a 2nd time for more chips. You have to pay up at the front. They charge ~$7 a bag for their chips for carry out order. The salsa is additional as well.

    Another post surgery visit that was scrumptious! Just a few days after dining in began again we stopped and tried the pork tamale, chili relleno, burrito, chori queso , and the guacamole. Everything was hot, fresh, and made to order. I ordered my tamales with red sauce. I wasn't a fan of the red sauce, but the tamale was tender and moist, and so good. I had the cheese chili relleno, and even though the chili was super mild, it still had a great flavor. The steak burrito was excellent, and the chori queso is something I will dream about for years to come.

    I loveee these refriend beans! They are hot and thin & everything just melts together beautifully! The inside is very humble & unassuming. I really enjoyed it. Not every place needs to be glitzy & glammy. Sometimes you just want good a%$ food.

    Excellent Mexican Street taco joint. For my first visit here I ordered two Asada (steak) street…read moretaco's that were very authentic and had only cilantro, both fresh cut and sautéed onions, fresh lime slice on the side, all on top of two fried corn tortillas. The meats was very tender & flavorful, veggies quite fresh and finished product very very tasty. As a cautionary note, the Salsa was probably a medium on the spicy scale and if you like your food mild you may want to ask for the mild salsa that comes with the chips. Other item of note here is the chips and salsa come gratis if you dine in where they were good but not quite at the level as the taco's which were over the top good! Relative to the restaurant and staff, the facility itself has a smallish footprint where there are just two tables and one very long counter with stools for indoor dining. My take of this is that much of the business is probably carryout. Staff was very friendly where you order your food at the counter and they bring it to you if you are dining in the restaurant. there was no table follow up at this point where it really operate as a quasi fast food joint which I was totally OK with, Overall really good food at a very reasonable price (2 steak taco's were $8) where the taco's are some of the best I have had in Metro Detroit. If you are a fan of good authentic Mexican food than this is a business not to be missed.

From the doubled up corn tortillas, to the tender well cooked meat, cilantro and their wonderful sautéed onions these Street style Taco's are as authentic as anything you would get in Mexico. The gratis house chips and Salsa were equally tasty and a nice complement to the Taco's all being washed down with a sugar cane based Mexican coke. The total bill came in at a very reasonable cost of $12 which is a great value in today's economy and a great deal by any standard. Relative to staff and facility, this appears to be a small family run business where the restaurant itself is located in a small strip mall at the corner of Franklin and Square Lake Rd with an equally small footprint for the restaurant. This is a very unpretentious business (think hole in a wall but in a nice way) with a limited number of dining tables and small staff. Having said that, I had no problem in getting seated and getting my order taken and food brought out in fairly quick order! I have been on a kick for a while now trying to find the best taco joint in the the northern Oakland county area and have to say this is as good as I have come across up to now and am a big fan of this business. If you are into well made authentic Mexican street taco's than this is a must visit for you. This was my first visit here and definately will not be my last where I will be combining this dining venue with my regular Bloomfield Hills Costco trips which is a Quarter mile from the restaurant.

The restaurant itself has a relatively small foot print where the tables are close together and where there are no frills about this place and definately a tad on the rustic side. Facility aside, this place makes some excellent authentic Mexican street tacos where my El Pastor and Asada taco's were well made, PACKED with meat (no scrimping here) and oh so tasty. Service is quite quick where once seated you get your food within a few minutes making this an excellent spot if you are on the run and looking for a good meal on the quick. Prices are cheap in my opinion where my three taco's and a coke came to just $12. NICE! Two things to note here is that the chips and salsa are not gratis but come at an extra cost and follow up once you get food was non existent in my case. Chips and salsa was not a big deal to me but lack of follow up prevented this business from getting a fifth star. Overall and my minor gripes aside, if you are fan of really good Mexican street taco's than this is a must visit if you are in the area! I wish this business was closer to my home in West Bloomfield as I would be a regular here for sure!

Small interior with some seating, but I got my burrito to go. Staff was friendly and my food was ready within 15 minutes of ordering. The tortilla was so greasy. Costco pizza x10. Seriously; I had to use some napkins on the tortilla because it was just soaked in grease. Not great. I got the steak. It was very good. Tender; no chewy bites and pretty good flavor. Good portions throughout the burrito. That was the highlight along with the guac. A chunky guac done well. It was fresh and just what I was looking for. Unfortunately, half my burrito was lacking in sour cream and cheese to the point I thought they forgot about it. The second half had better portions of those items, but more cheese would've benefited this. Finally, the fries were a joke. No seasoning and no crunch provided for a very unmemorable bite. A shame. Perhaps this was an off day. Perhaps I ordered the wrong thing. It was fine, but nowhere near what I was expecting. I might try this again, but need some time before I do that. Very good steak and guac. Everything else was lacking.
