When she got there, we got in line and ended up waiting about 10 minutes to get to the register. We both ordered a burrito bowl (chicken and carnitas). One of the biggest draws is the self-serve chips and salsa bar. The chips are so good and the selection of salsas and add-ons was awesome! We went outside and sat at one of the "bar" spots. Our food came out in about 10 minutes. The servings of salsa and guac on top were remarkable! We mixed up our bowls and dove in! It was a very hearty bowl and we were glad since it was not super cheap ($17.80). We sat at the table for almost 3 hours and the servers eventually came and grabbed our bowls and not once pressured us to leave. The place was so busy and buzzing with conversation. The vibe was super chill and the people watching was so fun!

    Still as fabulous as the first day we went in 2023!

Order at the counter, then once you decide upon your meal, proceed to find a seat in this popular Davis hangout for university students, staff and the local community. Food is always on point: fresh tasting, delicious food that is presented beautifully and delivered to your table. Affordable Davis eats for lunch or dinner. Same dependable menu from open till close. Go there and enjoy a bit of Mexican food in a fabulous atmosphere.

    I met a relative for lunch today and she suggested going to Maya in Davis. I don't know if this is…read morethe same family of Maya Restaurants that are located in Sacramento, but if so I have been to the one located near Richards Boulevard in Sacramento and really like it. This building in Davis sits on a corner and is hot pink, so you can't miss it. They have outdoor, covered seating that was very enjoyable with today's great weather. My favorite thing about lunch today (5/7/26) was the service. The food was good, but the service was excellent. Upon arrival, my first time here I peered into the interior of the restaurant to see if my relative had arrived. I was immediately greeted by a very nice young man behind the counter. I exited the building and sat down at one of their exterior tables so my cousin could easily spot me, and the same very nice young man came out and brought me a menu to review while I was waiting for my cousin to arrive. Once she arrived, we went inside and ordered our meals, and returned to their outside seating. They have an open chips and salsa bar which was great as we waited for our meals. A short while later, another nice young man (with braids) came out to clear the table and offer drink refills. They were both very kind, accommodating and engaging. It's very nice to have great customer service from these gentlemen. We had a lovely lunch, and I would return.

    TLDR: My new favorite Mexican spot. Get the Fajita plate, Al Pastor plate, or Quesabirria Tacos…read more Don't let the menu size scare you off. The menu is enormous -- I won't pretend otherwise. But don't let that stop you. The food is excellent and it's worth taking the time to figure out your order. A few dishes I'd point you toward: the Fajita plate, the Al Pastor plate, and the Quesabirria Tacos are all worth ordering. On my first visit I had what I believe is called the Milpas Salad which was great, but I don't see it on the menu anymore. Great chips and salsa bar too. Great outdoor seating for nice days, and dog-friendly. Already my go-to for Mexican food in town. Love all the artwork on the walls too.

    El Patio Fresh is my go to for a casual Mexican meal in Davis. My favorite thing to order there are…read morethe Quesabirria Tacos. You can get a plate of 3 quesabirria tacos with consomé for $14. The tacos with beef birria, onions, cilantro, dipped in sauce are mouthwatering delicious! Can't and won't say no. I've also had their street tacos and carne asada fries (El Patio fries with carne asada), which are both pretty good. They offer burritos, quesadillas, enchiladas, and other dinner plates. I usually dine there later in the evening and it's not too busy. I haven't had to wait for a table. There are usually 2 female workers that wait on the tables and both are friendly. Only one time, the waitress forgot to put in my order, but usually service is good. To be honest, I like the old El Patio Fresh (before they remodeled) better. I liked being able to order at the counter and choose our own seats. Now, it's table service only. They still have a chips and salsa bar, which is really nice. Their salsas are good. Great place for quesabirria tacos in Davis!

Honestly, it made me wish I had ordered the Quesabirria tacos that so many reviews were raving about. That said, the staff was exceptional -- everyone was very friendly and welcoming. I'll definitely be back to give the Quesabirria tacos a try next time.

The inside chairs were so comfortable! They had a lot of options for my friend who is a vegetarian. I ordered all vegetarian food as well and was really pleased. The chili relleno de vegetales, queso dip, and chips & salsa were all a hit. I thought they did a great job adding flavor while adding a variety of vegetables. The cream sauce topped everything off. Parking was definitely a challenge and some streets were pedestrian only.

I ordered a combo with a chicken enchilada with mole and a green chile verde burrito. The chicken enchilada was great and the mole was well done. The green chile verde got lost with all of the beans in the burrito. I'd say if you want the green chile verde "taste", to get it on its own outside of a burrito. The menu had lots of good looking items... I think tacos in California are the best in the world, but decided on something a little different on this day. Service was great and for a lunch, we were in and out very quickly. Oh, I almost forgot about the salad. It was so fresh and the dressing was super flavorful. You normally don't win friends with salad, but this place did!
