    The food is good but it’s also very pricy. I really liked the salsa that comes with the chips. The flautas were fine. The customer service was good.

    After a long time went to a Mexican restaurant. Margaritas are too good, liked it a lot after trying to drink at several places. Chicken soup is too good and not able to finish a bowl. Combo platter is so good and can taste different varieties and cannot be finished by 3 people.

    This is a convenient location and plenty of parking. More importantly, the margarita menu is impressive and a pitcher is reasonably priced. The food is fresh; however, lacks some spice (hence the four stars). Service is always attentive and the ambiance is fun.

    The shrimp ceviche was fantastic! And I really liked their salsa. Beer selection is somewhat limited.

    Good service, and good portions but the food is very very Bland. If you like Mexican food or have had good Mexican food you probably won’t like this place. When we walked in the chips were already under where a heat lamp is, but the lamp wasn’t on. The salsa had no flavor. I’m typically a big eater but I couldn’t even eat half the plate because it was so bland and I ended up losing my appetite. The Mexican rice had no flavor, and honestly the best part was the soda I got. Way too expensive for what youre getting.

    Portions are huge and food was delicious. Good amount of shrimp in the salad. Would have preferred to have the shrimp completely de-shelled.

    My Shrimp Super Burrito with cheese being wet was outstanding. My wife's Mexican Shrimp Delight was equally perfect. The Churros were a great finishing crescendo of delight. Chips were good and not oily. Very impressed that every table had a dispenser of hand sanitizer. Bathrooms were very clean.

    The food was really good here. We met friends for dinner. The portions were all family style huge. Kinda like a visit to Grandma's. Highly recommend.

    Our waitress was really kind and helpful!! The problem was the food, we ordered Huevos ranchero and we asked for over hard eggs. We got the plate and they were over medium. You can see the yolk isn’t cooked. We called the waitress and she had no issue getting it Redone. We got the plate back and it looked good. it had a good crust to it and it looked cooked. Two bites in, over medium eggs.. I flipped them over to see if they had cooked the other side. To my surprise these were the same eggs we sent back… the cook had just flipped the eggs upside down so the crusty side was upward.. ruined our appetite. I understand it sucks getting the food back but don’t just flip it over and send it back.. I’ll post the photo of the “bottom” side of the egg. How’s it not crusty? Oh yeah you just flipped it over and sent it back..

    Having grown up in Fremont I should have been aware of this fine restaurant years ago. However I now live in Sonora for the past 30+ years and haven't had anyone tell me about them when visiting family and friends in Fremont until my recent visit for a celebration of life. They catered to about 50 of us without a hitch and it was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend you try them if you're in the area.

    Came here for lunch and there were no lunch specials. $60 is way too much for one person at lunch time. I had a single enchilada with rice and beans and 2 Micheladas. The food was good and the Michelada was good but overpriced for lunch time. Michelada were $15 each!!

    The tacos were decent. The nachos were burnt. The relleno was small, flavorless, and awful. The shrimp were overcooked and dry. Clearly cutting corners without a care for quality.

    Another good Mexican restaurant that has been around for a long time, and for good reason! The food is always good, and so is the service of the friendly staff. I really wish they would do outdoor seating. They have the room to do it and I am sure a lot of people would use it.

    Always my number one go to for fine delicious Mexican food. Their soup is the best in town. And they're one two or three item dinner can't be beat!

    The food was good (steak fajitas), sizziling tender, and no grizzel. Margaritas was tasty and potent. We had one server for a large group of 12. She did her best, and food was on time. She should get some help.

    My family has lived in Fremont for over 40 years and used to always come here. Went as a party of 8 recently and almost everyone disliked their food. Everything was over salted and lacked real flavor. I don’t know what happened but the quality of the food has gone down. We won’t be returning.

    It's always a great time dining at El Patio. The food is awesome, and you can't beat the atmosphere. When we meet up with family to eat, first choice is El Patio!

    You guys. Want authentic Mexican food in a super cute setting with awesome drinks? Look no further. A large and delicious menu gives you plenty of choices even for picky eaters. The drinks were delicious and not over priced. Our server was fast and friendly. I had a choose two meal and chose a tamale and pastor street taco. All the meats are tender and flavorful. I appreciated that the masa of the tamale was thin, filled nicely with meat. The sauce was so delicious and flavorful. My husband had a chimichange that was giant and filled with delicious carnitas. We expect this to be our go to Mexican restaurant going forward.

    Our food was delicious. I ordered over the phone. I was 3 minutes late past closing time but I still received my food. The staff was great. We will be returning.

    Is a nice restaurant, as a Mexican just traveling in usa for a short period of time I can say that the taste is authentic. Prices are average for this zone and the service is good. I like that even that they have music it is not very loud.

    This food here is very good. I haven't been here in 13 years. My wife and I moved out of the area 15 years ago. We visited two years later. The point of this, is the food has always been awesome, with good size portions. I love the guacamole, as well.

    Very delicious Mexican food! Love the decor inside the restaurant very authentic Mexican feel. The staff is so friendly and the service was quick. Definitely recommend this spot if you are looking for authentic Mexican food and yummy drinks, the Hennychata is delicious!
