    My very favorite date spot. It has the best food. Very filling and the service is always great. I get the same thing every time with Inca cola. I have a great time!

    I love this restaurant! The food is amazing! The service is good. A variety of dishes to choose from. I am so thankful for my former coworkers who told me to try this place because I have been going here ever since. I did not know how much I love Peruvian food, but El Patio has truly made me a fan of Peruvian cuisine.

    First time eating in this restaurant we came at the last minute and they made an exception for us. We were attended by Manuel and the owner were super nice and friendly . The food was amazing the portion was excellent, I would most definitely go again and reffer everyone I know. Thank You I really Love it.

    Food was good! It however took a while for them to get us seated and even longer to take our order. Wife and I both had fish which unfortunately they didn't do a good job of removing the scales which made for a less than favorable experience be while eating.

    I love their food. I do not speak Spanish but they are always willing to explain the ingredients and how it is prepared.

  • 3/5 Indira G. 2 years ago on Google
    I’m giving this three stars bc well the service was fast and really good, the food arrived to our table 5 mins. After we ordered, but the food was ok… it was definitely more rice than anything else, and it was highly over priced for a simple 6 piece shrimp rice. The fries were a bit over due and my husbands plate was salty! They went a little crazy with the salt. In all we won’t come back but it was worth a try. 👍🏽

  • 5/5 Javier L. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food and service. Prices are typical for Peruvian food.

  • 5/5 Stephanie S. 2 years ago on Google
    The waitress was friendly and helpful. I had a chicken dish she recommended. It was tasty. I liked the little corn things, never had those before and they were good. Price was good and so was food.

  • 5/5 Nicole S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great family place with amazing flavors! The staff is so kind and always remembers our whole families favorites . Try something new and you won’t be disappointed. Best Ceviche at this location!

  • 4/5 Dustin B. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place. I've only been there for lunch but they have been busy, a good sign. Eat where the locals eat! Good food, nice atmosphere.

  • 5/5 JOEL D. 1 year ago on Google
    I ate here with my family and absolutely loved it! The food was very tasty and the staff was very polite. The restaurant was very busy, yet the food came out much faster than I expected. I am no expert on Peruvian food, but I’m not sure how it could get much better than this. 5 stars for me!

  • 5/5 MaBeth R. 1 year ago on Google
    Best food i had had in a while, love the location and atmosphere, waitress was beyond hellful and reccomended 2 great entries for my husband and I, we love it all and pińa colada was great, and to end the flan is a must have.

  • 1/5 Erica Z. 1 year ago on Google
    I usually love Peruvian food - but, not today. I called in a lunch order consisting of steak and green spaghetti. Needless to say, it was the worst I’ve ever had. I requested the steak be medium temperature and when I got my food I opened the take-out container and saw the sorriest looking steak that I have ever seen. The steak was over cooked and dry and the spaghetti was less than exciting. The meal was $18 and honestly, was better off going to McDonalds.

    Me and my husband had our wedding dinner here on Saturday. We reserved their private room. Let me tell you, the service the food and the decoration was amazing. Everyone who served us was so nice and wanted to make our dinner as special as possible! I couldn’t have been happier. Thank you so much especially to Vicki who was so detailed and patient with all of our questions. If you’re looking for somewhere to host a party or an event this is your place. Or even for lunch or dinner their food is amazing!!

    Don't let the outside fool you. This place is out of this world. The bar makes top notch drinks. You are greeted at the door and shown to your table by a welcoming host. We we offered two for one happy hour drinks which we truly enjoyed. We had some ceviche which was absolutely perfect. My wife had some thinly sliced fried fish which was also excellent. At the end I had a delicious cup of espresso. We plan on going back to this place and also to bring our South American friends there soon. Don't miss this diamond, it is a real sparkler.

  • 5/5 Michael C. 6 months ago on Google
    1st time, I had Tacu Tacu. Wow, great taste and flavor. Steak was perfectly tender. Rice and beans perfect flavor as well. Recommend trying.

  • 4/5 Luis A. C. 6 months ago on Google
    Great selection of Peruvian cuisine. We had the tamale which could have had a bit more por meat and not so much fat, the ceviche was good and the chupe were also good. The service is great. The place needs a bit of a make over to make it even better.

    We called them ahead of time to pick up an order, which they told us that the order will be ready in 15-20 minutes. Before showing up, we called to confirm if the food was ready to pick up; they confirmed. After waiting an average of 10 mins. one of the waitresses told us one of the orders were unavailable, because they didn’t have it. We have to re order and waited another 45 minutes. On top of us trying not to be irritated, they told us to move from the area we were waiting because we were disturbing near by customers near us. There’s no consideration whatsoever towards frequent customers like us. The principle of my review is, El Patio is laking communication, organization and leadership. The manager didn’t even had the courtesy to come out to apologize and at least give us a discount for our orders. Sad to share this review because the food is very good.

    I deliver a lot of food from here the staff is always nice and quick to meet your needs

  • 2/5 Melissa A. 3 years ago on Google
    Called to place an order. The lady that answered the phone was so rude. I asked her what was on the menu. I could not hear her so I asked her to please repeat herself. She told me she could not repeat herself because she was too busy. I told her okay I will just order when I get there. So when I got there it was a long wait for someone to come take my order. The only reason why I gave them two stars instead of one was because the man that took my order was nice.

  • 5/5 Mason A. 3 years ago on Google
    So happy I found my way into this amazing restaurant. Food is spectacular and the staff simply amazing. Atmosphere is cool and if your looking to try something new this place will not disappoint you 5 stars all the way!!!!!!

    Great restaurant, staff are very hard working food was fine needed a bit more flavor and our waiter was very of task but respectful. Even took into consideration of what we had to say about the service would recommend if your looking for a quick take out place though.

    First time trying Peruvian food! Super cute location .. friendly staff. I got a seafood platter and my bf got a steak/shrimp platter. Everything tasted really fresh and good. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Stacey N. 3 years ago on Google
    As always the food is spectacular. They were super busy and we still got our food in a timely manner, warm, super well served. I always feel like I am going to be rolled out of there. Only downfall is that they no longer serve ice cream 😔 ..

  • 5/5 Rick C. 3 years ago on Google
    BOOM! Great food and a hard working staff. Great prices, clean restaurant. But nothing beats the bread of life that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will never die! Jesus Christ is Lord of all and He alone can save you from sin and death. The wages of sin is death. Hell is real. Seek Jesus Christ today while you still have time and His grace available to you. Only Jesus Christ saves from HELL!

  • 4/5 Mrs G. 3 years ago on Google
    Even after the pandemic, this place has maintained the quality in food. They are currently understaffed and not as fast as they were, however these are harder times. The manager or supervisor there (who also serves) is our favorite server.
