El Patio Mexican Restaurant

We stopped here for dinner on our road trip from New Orleans to Dallas. It’s a nice restaurant near a highway exit. Right away they bought out the a big portion of freshly made salsa and chips. Husband got Natchitoches Special and I got Fiesta Dinner Special; both portion was huge. I took half of my food to go for leftover for lunch the next day. For what we paid for, it was a great deal. The server was Miguel was very friendly, attentive, took our order quickly and food came out right away. My kids ordered from the kids menu and the older got burrito…good portion size and he liked as he ate all of it. The younger one got nacho or chip with cheese…I didn’t take a picture but it wasn’t what he expected and he didn’t eat much of it. Mexican music playing a little loudly in the background. There is plenty of parking. Would recommend and will come back if/when I am in the area.

We were impressed and quite happy with our food and service at this place. We got there half an hour before closing but the food was still fresh and the servers so genuinely friendly. I loved the decor as well and was also very glad to see them whipping each menu card down I assume to disinfect them. Would be so happy to go back if I ever am around there again.

Just gave this a shot on a short road trip from Dallas, and it was great! Fast service and delicious Mexican food. Really close to the highway but a great alternative to just having to eat fast food too. I’ll keep it on my list if i need to make this drive again!
