What customers say?

“ A good friend of mine recommended this spot, and I have to say it really exceeded my expectations! The ambiance is cute with an earthy, colorful vibe and an open half-kitchen concept. The chips and salsa were very flavorful, and we started our meal with house-made margaritas -Tamarindo, Jamaica, and Mango with Tajín. They were all delicious, but I think the mango was my favorite! I wasn't in the mood for meat definitely had seafood on my mind, so I ordered the octopus tacos, while my partner got the fish burrito. It was perfect because we could share! The service was great throughout the meal, but we hit a snag when it came time to pay. I had given our server my card to charge everything, but when I was ready to settle the bill, there seemed to be confusion as if they hadn't received it. It took a bit of time to sort it out, which was frustrating since I had tried to ensure a smooth payment process. On a side note, the beans were tasty, but the rice was just okay. ”

“ Great new family owned business in the desert. I ordered the Mole Ranchero, a robust flavor of spicy pork not sweet at all. My wife had the shrimp with the zarandeada sauce, and loved it! Very flavorful and just spicy enough. Can’t wait to come and try their breakfast!! ”

“ Tortilla Soup and Chicken Fajitas were amazing. The Chicken Fajitas is delicious, tender chicken meat and good for 3 people. It's a lot! Great service, great atmosphere! It's our first time here. We'll be coming back. ”

“ This was not merely food, this was an experience! Great service and the food was cooked to perfection. I asked for extra grilled Serranos and they along with the carne asada plus their hot salsa hit the spot! Their enchiladas had the red, green and mole sauce really good. If you want a great experience this is a must go place! ”

“ Came here on a Tuesday night. The restaurant was fairly empty but started to fill up around 6. Chips and salsa were good as were the margaritas. The service was a bit slow. I had the Mole Ranchero which was a little watery. Wife had shrimp tacos that were good. ”

“ The food here is absolutely amazing, the service is top-notch, and the ambiance is just perfect. If you’re searching for an authentic Mexican dining experience, look no further—this is the place! The staff is incredibly welcoming, and with roots in Jalisco, you can trust that the flavors are the real deal. I’m so glad I discovered this gem and will definitely be returning. I highly recommend trying the enfrijoladas—the beans are incredibly fresh and flavorful, instantly transporting me back to my visits to Mexico. This place is a must-visit! ”

“ We have visited El Patio in La Quinta a few times and have had the best meals and service there! No matter if we are sitting in the bar or outside, we always get the Chiles Gueros. We have also had the appetizer Tacolgado which was such a cool experience. The tacos are hanging over a very flavorful red sauce. We have been there on a Tuesday and the tacos were great. Their margaritas are all freshly made and you can tell. We have gotten the Cadillac and Spicy Margaritas and we recommend them both. Service is always good here. ”

“ The Enfrijoladas were amazingly delicious. Three tortillas stuffed with chorizo and queso panela topped with our homemade bean sauce and two eggs. Side of potatoes. Not to mention the Paloma was incredibly delicious. ”
