El Patio #2

Sincerely friendly, home-style Mexican dishes, and something more: As my son and I sat down for a late lunch, I saw a homeless man enter. He was treated with humanity, care, and generosity by the true gentleman at the counter. The staff person was quietly helpful and I only noticed because of heartbreak around how our rigged Ponzi scheme economy throws so many people into homelessness. What a testimony to the sincere kindness of El Patio's staff. El Patio definitely leaves a good taste in your mouth and I have been back many times since and will go again and again.

I went to this El Patio restaurant in Santa Rosa to get a quick dinner for my aunt and I. It was only 5 minutes from where she lives. I also went there because I used to go to the El Patio on Broadway quite often so I was familiar with it.

I ordered two ground beef tacos for my aunt and a chimichanga for me. As always the food was very good, quite tasty, nice and hot and I didn't wait long for my order even though they had a good amount of customers. The tacos were decent size with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, salsa etc., but the chimichanga was huge. I made 3 meals out of it.

I give it 4 stars only because the restaurant is very small, not a lot of seating and not very appealing. But for food, menu variety and service I would definitely recommend this place.

Good bean burritos & guacamole. The salsas are just how I like them! Yum!

The food is very good and the service is first rate. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, this is a good bet for grabbing a quick meal. You can est in or take it away. Easy access is a bonus.
