  • We understand that El Patio merged with El Palio in May of 2012 and this seems to have been a successful merger since the quality of the food has undoubtedly improved. This is a place for meat lovers with fabulous ribs and other grilled meats accompanied by quality French fries and washed down with family size mojitoes. Don’t go for anything too complicated here but all in all this is a good place to eat.

    Ambience wise it still struggles with a somewhat Spartan décor. The service is good and if you live nearby and want to eat well it is a good option (and take-away). It is not really a destination place unless you are a hungry group of men who simply want to eat and drink well without the frills.
