The Scene – When a well-aged waiter mumbles, "hot plate, very hot plate," you've just connected with a half century of the city's Tex-Mex history. While the decor is strictly old-school, in the tradition of red leather booths and bull fighter posters, the original El Patio location doesn't feel tattered or dreary. And the off-the-lobby bar, jokingly called Club No Minors (referring to the legal posting on the door) has been one of southwest Houston's more enduring party spots. – – The Food – Fortunately, there's more than nostalgia to enjoy.

Great place for young professionals

My friends and I go to el patio and we really enjoy the drinks and the food. I have had better margaritas than their infamous 'blue,' but it is certainly still good. once, my friends and i were seated by the door to the patio on a cold night and it made dining very chilly every time a waiter went out ( and i mean within three feet of the door). Our waiter was very nice and just as the main course came out he switched our table. we were incredibly thankful. therefore, overall, this is a great place to dine.
- Pros: good food, fun atmosphere
- Cons: crowded

If you like enchiladas and booze, go here.

I frequent both the Westheimer and Midtown locations and am in love with both of them. The enchiladas suizas are amazing, as are any of the other enchilada choices. I've never heard anyone that I've been with complain about their meal at either location and that's after over at least 100 visits. The blue margaritas are delicious.
- Pros: Food, the "Blues"
- Cons: I have to move.
