Great find! Enjoyed it so much I have to post my first google review :) Welcoming atmosphere and employees. Prompt service, inviting dining room, very tidy. Food came out quickly and was delicious. My partner and I both ordered the enchiladas with shredded beef and I finished my plate before him which is unusual. Wish we lived in the area as we would like to try more of their dishes.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

El TaPatio was one of the worst dining experiences we’ve ever had. The water tasted like it came from a contaminated tap, which we should have taken as our cue to leave. Every single meat we were served tasted like canned pet food. The kids’ beef burrito tasted exactly like dog food. My seafood enchiladas tasted like warmed-up cat food. My husband’s burrito supreme tasted just as bad, smothered in a thick, unpleasant sauce that only made the processed meat flavor worse. None of it was edible. The rice and beans were completely flavorless and felt like an afterthought. When we sent back an untouched burrito, they still charged us and claimed “everyone else thinks it’s fine.” Overpriced wine margarita, inedible food, zero accountability. Eat literally anywhere else

Sizzling hot Fajitas and they don't put tomatoes on their skillets! The slasa verde is not for a weak tongue! Great price and now they have a punch card!
