    If you're speeding down east Highway 71, it's easy to miss this place. This is one of three…read morelocations in the Austin area. This is probably the first restaurant I've ever seen that literally has a car wash connected to it. Once inside you'll find an ATM, gambling machines, and a check cashing station. In other words, there seems to be a lot going on here besides being a restaurant. There's about 10 tables inside and four more outside. The only thing missing are some gas pumps. This place has all the ambience of a convenience store dining experience. The tables are rickety, the paint on the floor is well worn away, and the ceiling tiles are stained. The menus are in Spanish (no english) and there is no complementary chips and salsa here. We were able to order in English, but clearly this is geared towards Mexican customers primarily. They do have some frescas along with some Mexican beer, but nothing in the way of craft beer. We ordered the beef quesadilla and beef sope. The cubed meat on both our dishes was way overcooked, tough, bordering on inedible and "questionable". Even the greasy silverware did not appear very clean and even had some rust spots on the knife. The service was OK, but nothing special. I discovered after I paid at the counter where I included a tip, an additional tip had already been added without my knowledge. I will not risk dining at their other locations based on this experience. I really wanted to enjoy this restaurant, but in reality I should've kept on going down the road.

    We came in with our extended family for a late lunch /snack after visiting the nearby Dino Park and…read morewere promptly and cordially welcomed in. It's a large space, great for groups, and it's nice there is a kids menu option. We started with water all around, plus Mexican cokes and a paloma. We shared seafood tostada, chips n guacamole, wings, and chicken flautas. Everything came out hot, fresh, and nicely seasoned. We have two gluten free folks in the group and there were plenty of corn based options. The tostadas come with three and were nice and fresh, I was a little hesitant when it said mayo, but there was just a bit to get the shrimp and imitation crab to stick together. Turned out the kids loved the wings - we tried the citrus pepper and Austin amber bbq flavors. The chicken inside the flautas was tender and we enjoyed the cabbage, onion, carrot slaw to bring a fresh crunch. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

Management brought in an artist from Mexico to paint beautiful murals highlighting the Day of the Dead. The queso and fajitas were excellent. Santo Patio's Happy Hour is from 3:00-6:00. The house margaritas are 1/2 price. Everything else is the regular price. Our server, J, said she was new to Santo Patio, but I would not have known. She was very helpful and super friendly. We will ask for her again.

    A year ago I tried this taco truck. One grumpy person in the truck took so long to serve the person…read morein front of me, he left his food he'd paid for. It took almost 30 min to get two tacos. The whole pinto beans in the dry taco were not palatable.

    Route 71 between Bergstrom Airport and Bastrop is kind of a food desert…read more But they are just now starting to get food trucks. However, there is one food truck that has been in Cedar Creek forever. Mi Barrio at 71 and Pope Bend. This is an absolutely superlative food truck. If you needed one and only one place to eat along Route 71, This is the one you would want. * * * Tex-Mex is the order of the day here. The menu is very traditional. They are unapologetic about offering "alternative parts of the animal" such as tripas. The food is firey hot but hot with magnificent flavor. I never understood why people told me that Tex-Mex food is spicy. It isn't spicy in most places. It IS spicy at Mi Barrio. And this is fire you could learn to love. * * * Four notes of interest. a) I had the chicken fajitas. At bad Mexican food trucks, they use cheap chicken, Chicken that leaves a bad taste in your mouth. They use high integrity high quality ingredients at Mi Barrio. You could serve this chicken to your mother. b) Even though Mi Barrio is right next to Cedar Creek High School, I have never once seen a Cedar Creek High School student there. You go to the fast food restaurants near Westwood High in Austin, and they are packed with Westwood High students. I suspect the principal at Cedar Creek is stricter than the principal at Westwood High about letting students off school grounds. c) Most of the customers do not eat at the food truck. All of the customers I saw were working class Mexican. A few ordered for themselves and went off to eat someplace. A few others came in to get large orders that I presume were taken back to some work crew. The location is not wonderful. They are in the parking lot of a fairly cruddy Exxon convenience store. Highway 71 scenery is not magnificent. d) This place opens early and closes early. They will be there for breakfast. They will be there for lunch even if you wander in around 1-ish. I am a late afternoon kind of a guy which generally means I found them closed. * * * It would be snarky for me to say this is the best eating on Route 71, given the nearly total lack of competition. But it is more meaningful to say this place can stand up with The best of the Mexican/Central American food trucks on North Lamar in Austin AND The best of the Mexican/Central American food trucks on Route 812 in Del Valle. These are concentrations of really excellent Mexican food. You might not want to drive 35 miles to eat here. The location is ugly. This ain't no picture postcard. But if you DO stop and eat here, ignoring the view, You will eat very well indeed.

Part of the buffet menu rotates, but they usually have scrambled eggs, migas, hash browns, chicharrones en salsa verde, refried beans, nopalitos, biscuits & gravy, sausage patty, sausage link, bacon, oatmeal, fruit (peaches, grapes). Most importantly: infinite menudo. Not pictured are the made-to-order options that are part of the buffet: french toast, pancake, or they can warm up toast or tortillas. Ask when you order the buffet. The restaurant itself is on the rustic, smaller side: seats 50 max (probably less per fire code). There is additional parking next door by Clint's Liquors (the parking lots are connected by a small wooden foot bridge). Feels like a local diner, so if you are looking for something upscale or trendy look elsewhere. I don't want the place to be crowded anyway. Service is friendly. Good food at a good price!
