I came here wanting more homestyle cooking on my first visit And they did not disappoint. My first…read moreimpression coming inside was a welcoming one. Have come here several times since then. Located by the troubled part of Aurora Ave N, they are a nice refuge from the chaos often happening outside their doors further down the street. It seems this restaurant could add an outside grill and drinks and there would be an incredible party. The staff seem to tone down the current atmosphere. Would love to have a grilled meat, arepas and drink cerebration. Just feel the staff are holding back on meat and drink party time. Or, it is just my wistful thinking about what happens when they close. First,I ordered the Guacamole and chips. Ooh, guacamole was freshly made to order and so good. I inhaled this. Found this fresh and delicious. Probably not South American, but I have no clue. Ordered some Arapeas, these were nicely filled with different meats and cheese. Could have made a meal of these, they were fresh, handmade and cooked to order.Love any type of cornmeal deliciousness. Next, had ://www.yelp.com/menu/el-patio-seattle/item/bandeja-paisa. It appears meat is well done in South America. Delicious, but quite chewy. So I enjoyed this place, to come and have home style food. I was given great service and even better food. Nice atmosphere. Bright and happy, transforms you from gloomy Seattle to a place of warmth. I refrained from ordering more drinks and coaxing staff into an impromptu party. I'm impressed with their food and drink selections.

Like Mexican restaurants if you can make a good taco, a lot of the other food is worthwhile. I got it to go and when I got to eat I basically had to deconstruct it so I pick out the bad parts. I ordered a chicharon con queso papusa. I really know chicharrones well and regularly buy them from small carnicerias and Philippine delis and though the style is somewhat different from place to place I know what is good and not. This was a bunch of fat gristle mostly with a weird cheese consistency. My first clue in this horribly dangerous neighborhood was the outside but I didn't trust my gut. Instead I punished it! I'm not sure if El Patio is named after the big outdoor area in front that is right on the worst part of Aurora with hookers and homeless but it's a horribly run down building. That doesn't always deter me if the food is good. I also felt like they don't like white people or perhaps the attitude from the lady was just because I got a small order to go?? I've noticed now that their reviews going back to say 8 years ago show generally good reviews and pictures of outside that show brightly painted patio type seating and umbrellas and a clean exterior. Fast forward to now and the place is a dump that shows that they don't care. I truly felt that in their service and food and many more recent reviews say the same. I call this "alternatives to traditional Mexican food" and there are so many other great choices for that in our area!

You can tell it's owned by young people because their social media game is good. Their color palette is fun and the plate presentation looks very "American" friendly. Prices are good too. Flavor wise really authentic using old school grandma recipes. Was a bit skeptical about them having tacos (which are Mexican) but owner explained is to have some friendly food truck items for the region and mom's husband is Mexican. They let me have a Birria taco and it was great. The tortilla was really soft and tasty. Definitely will keep coming back and I encourage everyone in the area to try it.

When you go, definitely start with a signature MOJITO or 2, chat up with neighboring tables or the staff, then order up an appetizer, like the Empanadas, Ceviche or Tostones, then one of their large entrees! Ohhh...how I love their Shredded Beef or Lechon! Once you're done with your meal and order another mojito, definitely check out their postres/desserts menu! While I'm partial to their FLAN, my next favorite is definitely their Tres Leches! This will round out your savory/sweet palate and will go home super full and happy! I promise!

This is the best burrito in all of Tacoma/Lakewood!!! I tell everyone to try them. People don't know what they are missing, because they are just getting pupusas. Who would think they would have great burritos. So, these are not like any other burritos, because they are not Mexican. They use their delicious black beans, their white rice with a few little veg, sour cream, onions, cilantro, you can get really good chile sauce if you want it spicy. The sauce is so good. No cheese... can you believe it? Cheese is not even needed. You can get chicken or carne asada, or like we got, no meat and they will add avocado slices. I really wanted no meat, and platano frito added. This is what we used to get, and it's great. They should add a no meat option to the menu, and also the platano option. Everyone that loves unique delicious burritos, come check this place out. The guy that took my order was friendly, and even made our burrito half no cilantro. Thanks! They get busy.

The chicken had taken 23 minutes to come out, but they let us know beforehand. The only thing I would change is the lacking pricing on the menu. I believe it was around $57 for these three items, which is more than I expected.
