Casa Birrias were amazing, came with rice and beans, chips and salsa brought to the table no charge, outside is very nice, Cassie was very nice and fast. Love this place and sister restaurant (Aromas) next door

had a great dinner tonight at El patio! Gilbert is amazing, super funny. He's Definitely one of a kind and he took excellent care of us! And the food was delicious. We ordered an asada quesadilla, la diabla shrimp, and fish and shrimp tacos with a bucket of beers and a sexy Mexican coke for me A good time with top-notch customer service and yummy food! And super cute and comfortable place. All around, everything was great! Thank you, Gilbert!

I stopped by El Patio Mexican Restaurant while passing through Fresno, and let me tell you, if you've ever dreamed of taking a quick detour to a colorful little town in Mexico for lunch, El Patio makes that dream possible, minus the airfare. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by vibrant decors that feel more like a warm hug than interior design. The menu is impressively diverse. A full spread of authentic Mexican dishes that cater to both the adventurous eater and the “I’ll have the enchiladas, again” crowd. They have a good selection of drinks and their happy hour is from 4-6pm. Service was friendly, quick, and genuinely welcoming. Definitely recommend.

5 stars all around! Savannah was our waitress. She was so sweet and accommodating. My friend and I came in to try their Micheladas and were so pleasantly satisfied.

Great place to eat, the food the atmosphere, and the service. All were above my expectations. I ordered the breakfast molcajete awesome 👌. My wife ordered the chilaquiles omelet, she loved it. Too bad we dont live near by or we would most definitely make it a weekly thing. Highly recommended.

The food was delicious and tasted fresh, not old or dry. All of the staff was so friendly and attentive. Our server Liz was the sweetest waitress ever! My friend and I loved her. The atmosphere is so cute and cheerful the decor is beautiful. Lots to look at and talk about. We will definitely come back again in the future!

My grandfather and I decided to come to El Patio for lunch and we were served by Savannah, who is by the way a sweetheart and great waitress. I ordered some taquitos with horchata, while my grandpa ordered cheese enchiladas with a Modelo and we were both pleased. The food was fair, we had complimentary chips and salsa, the weather was pretty nice, so we enjoyed eating out. They have pretty, multicolored flag banners above for decoration. Our food came out pretty fast. A man, whom I believe is An/the owner, said "hello" and seemed really friendly and nice. Overall we had a pleasant experience! Parking in their parking lot is very limited, as they only have like 4 or 5 parking spaces and i do not believe that there is indoor seating here.

I've been here a couple of times and both times were fantastic. Coincidentally, Moises waited on our table both times and he was super friendly and efficient. We usually opt for the Bistec Ranchero, El Patio Torta, or the chorizo tacos. This restaurant is very consistent with the quality of all three and I'm sure it's the same for their other dishes. To drink, we always go for the agua fresca of the day. All in all this is a very good restaurant that I would recommend to anyone.

Excellent service. Great atmosphere. Big portions. Had the enchiladas with green sauce, red sauce and mole sauce. The green sauce was very good, the red sauce I couldn't taste because it was overwhelmed by the green sauce and mole sauce. The mole sauce was off. Can't describe it but it left a bad taste in my mouth. Overall a good experience.

Wonderful little place. The service was excellent. Michelle the manager was delightful. We had the beef taquitos and the surf and turf taco plate. Both beautifully presented and delicious! We will back the next time we are in town.

We got chips and salsa upon our arrival. Food took a long time considering we were the first party of 4 for lunch. They weren't busy but it took over 30 mins to get our food. The server was friendly.

Great atmosphere, Mexican music, vibrant colors, it’s a genuine Mexican Restaurant. Great food, the guacamole is the best, very tasty. Great customer service, Gilbert was very friendly and quick. I will definitely come again. My only issue were the flies, since it’s outside.

Cute spot: We picked up food for the office I work for here in Fresno. Three of my colleagues ordered pozole which was about $14-17 per bowl depending on the size. It came with the toppings, salsa and chili oil(I liked the chili oil). Between the four of us, we agreed the pozole had good flavor. The queso fundido was good(not pictured). Personally, I ordered beef fajitas which I was looking forward in having but I was really disappointed especially after paying $19 plus tax. It was seriously about less than two tacos worth of meat. The meat was sliced really tiny like taco meat which was over cooked, bland/no flavor with like a pound of bell peppers and onions as pictured. I went to the extent of picking MOST of them out to see how much meat was in there-mind you I’ve never had to do this. I would return for the pozole or to try other soups but would not order fajitas again.

Overall, it’s a good place to eat, and the food was okay. We tried a little bit of everything. The molcajete wasn’t what we expected; the chicken was dry and overcooked. Our server took our drinks and never returned, so we had to flag down another waitress to bring them back (lol). The appetizers we chose the sliders and the bean dip were good. The fried fish, however, was overcooked, making it really hard to get the meat off the bones.

I do not understand how this restaurant has so many good reviews. First of all- the vibe was off and terrible. There was a girl singing that sounded good, but the speaker was up so loud I could not hear myself think (1pm in afternoon). Then, we waited for 20 minutes before someone came by and took our order. If you like margaritas, I hope you don’t like good ones because they don’t have anything other than ‘well’ tequila. Also, I ordered a skinny margarita and the waiter did not know what that was. How do you serve margaritas and not know what a skinny margarita is???? My husband got a michelada that was the size of his head. He said it tasted terrible and hardly had any beer in it. Was filled with tomato juice. He barely drank it at all. Now we get to the food… we got chicken nachos and 2 chicken tacos.. gross. Chicken was barely edible and the nachos were luke warm. The tacos also had like nothing on them but raw onion and old looking cilantro. The saving grace was the corn tortillas that seemed homemade but hard to tell? It just wasn’t good. Like not at all. We did not finish any of it. Now to top it all off, I’ve been having aggressive diarrhea for the last 4 hours that I’m going to attribute to this restaurant because I haven’t eaten anything else. Do not go here.
