At El Patio, the vibrant spirit of Latino culture shines through every aspect of the dining experience. Nestled in Palm Springs, this cozy and trendy restaurant offers a delightful array of comfort food, from savory shrimp quesadillas to mouthwatering surf and turf tacos. With fast service and a welcoming atmosphere, it's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I was particularly impressed by the refreshing cocktails and extensive beer selection that elevate the dining experience. The friendly staff and lively music add to the charm, making El Patio a must-visit oasis for anyone seeking authentic Mexican flavors in a family-friendly setting.

We loved this place a lot!! The food is fabulous, and the service is very welcoming.The restaurant is decorated in a way that makes you feel you are actually in Mexico. The food is authentic and comes with decent volume at a reasonable price.We loved the Ceviche here a lot, and even wanted to order another one of it. The spicy margaritas are also so yummy!!The place does not take reservations so it can get busy at dinner time. But the food is definitely worth the wait!

Absolutely delightful and incredibly charming spot! It’s an absolute treat to sit on their lovely patio and enjoy a tasty meal here. Don’t miss this experience when visiting Palm Springs! I have dined here twice so far and particularly enjoyed the shrimp enchiladas with rice and beans, the chips and salsa, and the flan! I hear the margaritas are also awesome but haven’t tried one yet. The service was also spectacular each time. On my second visit the server even serenaded us when serving the homemade delicious flan (see video snippet) dessert for us. The entire experience was so enjoyable.

Located in downtown Palm Springs El Patio offers a vibrant and lively atmosphere with authentic Mexican flavors that truly shine. Their shrimp fajitas were a standout, boasting perfectly grilled colossal shrimps, red and green peppers, while the handmade tortillas added a delightful texture. Also, If You like a hot sauce they have an awesome You like a hot sauce they have an awesome burning sauce then you must request their special sauce….the heat and flavor were a great burn!!! The live music of a man playing beautiful love songs was an added bonus. The service was warm and attentive, making for a pleasant dining experience

Really great experience, celebrated our anniversary here. We ordered the Molcajete and wow, it was delicious down to the last bite.We got some complimentary shots of tequila to accompany our excellent piña mezcalitas. Mario serenaded us which was the icing on the cake. Great experience all around, will come back.

Absolutely outstanding. I don't even love Mexican food and this is mind-blowing. I ordered the fish tacos, which comes with one fried fish piece and the other fried shrimp and I cannot express how delicious this was. Ultra-crispy, perfectly battered, delicious coleslaw, fresh tortillas, 10/10. The meal came with a side of yellow rice (YUM) and refried beans. And the setting is gorgeous; patio is under this old tree with lights. Ugh I am in love. Thank you!!

Great restaurant, 100% will come back again.The shareable molcajete was delicious with beef, shrimp, chicken, cheese and more. More than enough for 2 people.For drinks, had the cucumber margarita and the Pina mezcalita, both were delicious and strong how we like them.Lastly, service was great across the team. Mario was a wonderful server and the other team members frequent checked in on us during the meal.

Fantastic and relaxing on a Monday evening. Margaritas & Palomas were excellent and a top 5 all time verde sauce. If you ask for some hot sauce watch out! It’s spicy.
