What really made the experience unacceptable was when a server walked by, looked directly at me, and said, "Bitch, what's your problem? Quit staring." I wasn't staring at her or doing anything to provoke that kind of response. I was honestly shocked that an employee would speak to a customer that way, especially completely unprovoked. Waiting over an hour without even receiving chips and salsa was frustrating enough, but being spoken to disrespectfully by a staff member crossed the line. I understand restaurants get busy and things happen, but there is no excuse for treating customers like that. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would not recommend this place.

Save your time and money…read more I visited this restaurant with a group of four. Although we were seated fairly quickly upon arrival, the service declined significantly after that. We waited approximately five minutes before a server took our drink order and another five minutes before receiving our drinks. It then took roughly 20 additional minutes for our food order to be taken. Unfortunately, the delays continued. After waiting about an hour for our meals, we observed our food being delivered to the wrong table. The staff then retrieved the food and later brought it to us from a different kitchen entrance, which raised concerns about whether the food had been handled properly. When the meals finally arrived, everyone in our party was served except me. My meal arrived about five minutes later, which normally would not have been an issue if it had been freshly prepared. However, my food was completely cold. The plate, rice, and enchiladas were all cold to the touch. In fact, my father's partially eaten enchiladas were warmer than the meal I received. To make matters worse, after finishing our meal, we waited an extended period for our check. We eventually had to ask an employee how to pay, only to be told that payment was handled at the front desk. This information was never communicated to us beforehand. It was also surprising that orders were being recorded in a notebook rather than through a more organized system. Overall, the service was extremely slow, communication was poor, and the quality of the food did not justify the lengthy wait. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this restaurant.

The hot sauce paired nicely but could've been spicier in my opinion. The rice and beans were so delicious that I swear I blinked and they were gone.

It came so fast that it felt more like I had ordered at a fast food restaurant. But it did taste much better than that. The chimichanga was actually a bit small though and I was disappointed that it wasnt' served with guacamole, but it was ok. Not one of the best I have had, but in no way bad. The beans and rice that were served with it were the standard fare. The salsa was great, the chips were not fresh though. The service was very good, he took our order promptly and checked on us enough, but not too much. It was a good lunch, but in fairness there is better Mexican food in Natchitoches.

Natchitoches, LA was the next town coming up and I started checking Yelp reviews in the area. El Patio, which had solid reviews, looked like an easy off and on from the Interstate plus there was a gas station in close proximity. It was perfect place for us to stop, stretch our legs and get a bite to eat. When we walked in the decor of the restaurant was a feast for the eyes. The chairs and tables were painted with bright colors and designs. It looks like Fiesta Time all the time. Victor, our server greeted us and took our drink orders. No margaritas, but a big glass of unsweetened iced tea was in order. A hot basket of chips and a small carafe of salsa was dropped off at our table. The salsa was good, but too mild for our tastes. The tortilla chips were very good. I decided on the #1 Lunch Special which included a Chille Relleno and a crispy beef taco. Both platters were accompanied with refried beans and rice. Wow, what a quick turnaround from the kitchen! Victor was back in a flash with our lunch entrees. Both of our lunch entrees were very enjoyable and spiced nicely. We both had happy tummies by the time we left El Patio and headed towards New Orleans. Next time we're in the area, we'll make a point of stopping in and try something new on the menu.
