El Patio Drive In

New location same great food, bummer they had to move new location, it’s now further from my house. But the inside is way larger and nicer. The surrounding neighborhood is sketchy, but didn’t stop me from some good food. I recommend asada nachos you won’t be disappointed.

It’s was a 15min before 5 pm
Was washing clothes across the street with my gf
Trying to stay within our diet and not give in to Baskin-​Robbins
we saw the new location and decided to get a smoothie
We walked in and, place look decent
While we were Looked at the smoothie menu
A man with a chente moustache approached us and asked what we want (rudely)
My gf went ahead and she asked if we can mix fruits.
Chente said yes
So she proceeded and asked for a mango, strawberry, and pineapple smoothie
Just for the guy to tell us that the lady that makes the smoothies was out for the day. That they didn’t know how to make them because they were the closing shift
3 things
1)chente could have lead with that
2)An employee was behind the juice bar clearly making a smoothie while we were having the conversation.
3)it’s not rocket science; ice, fruit, blend smh
Clearly this place is in need of customer service and manners.
Didn’t purchase anything
And definitely never will.

Food is very good and everyone is very welcoming and respectful. Asada nachos are bomb

Got the job done, pretty decent food. I went twice if that tells you anything.

Been going here for years… Even before they moved. Authentic Mexican food. Casual setting. They have a juice bar now. Something for everyone & Always a favorite!

I decided to check this place out after a coworker raved about it. I went for lunch and ordered the chicken enchiladas. The meal came with rice and beans. I have to say that I really enjoyed it. This is a real authentic, inexpensive Mexican food. I will definitely return to try other items and would definitely recommend it.

Came an hour before closing. No other customers but I have waited until 2 minutes before closing to get me some tacos. Like wth?! No one else is here but me!

Dependable and consistent Mexican food. Simple straight forward really legit Mexican. Good flavor. Generous portions and decent quality for a café. I’ll remember this place when I have a late night craving in the O. C

Horrible experience, a friend recommended me this place. We ordered asada nachos & Burrito de pastor I threw it out didn’t finishing it. Had no flavor at all/​No salt/​Fat in my nachos Fake pastor… UGH never again!!!

Love Love this place. I’ve been coming here since I was a young kid. Tacos are always delicious. Nachos, burritos, tostadas and torta’s. Cant go wrong with anything here. The chili sauce is aweome, always get more. My daughter devoured her beef taquitos. Come try this place.

Authentic Mexican food, finally! My fam has been coming here for 20 years and now I come here it’s delicious and everyone that I have invited has enjoyed their food as well. Highly recommended! If you don’t know what to get just know anything you order will be delicious

I knew it was an authentic Mexican food place when I got out of my car and smelled that fabuloso they use to mop those floors!
Walked into bright neon colors, Mexican flags on all the tables and get to the point food menu.
It’s also a juice bar and fruit salad bar, which is awesome. Unlike my old neighborhood, Anaheim doesn’t have the fruit vendor on every corner. I hate that. All this place is missing is that bomb Mexican elote con todo!
I ordered a bean and cheese burrito, with rice, lettuce, tomato, avocado and salsa. Guy was nice enough to take my custom order and it was ready on a few minutes.
BOMB! The salsa, the avocado salsa they put inside my burrito is delicious!
I will definitely become a regular customer and try the entire menu. Leggings, here I come!
Also, very friendly people.

I’ve been coming to this restaurant for at least a dozen years, when they were located on Magnolia. They are further away from me now but I still make the drive because their food is fantastic.
I have never been disappointed in their food. It’s always hot, always made with fresh ingredients, and the portions are generous. Also they are very pleasant, very fast, and take the order with a smile. I believe they really appreciate the business.
Love the tacos, love the enchiladas, love the tamales. It looks like they have some wonderful burritos on the menu also. Yummmm!

Been coming here for 15 years. So happy they have the new location because I almost cried when I heard the old location was closing. The California burrito is awesome. Their hot sauce is perfection. Add the marinated carrots and jalapeños are money.

After work I drove over to el patio craving some potato tacos only to find a dark restaurant with a closed sign up and nothing inside… Could it be true?! Our neighborhood Mexican food spot had finally been shut down?! Noooooooooo!!! Luckily they had just moved and not closed down permanently. They had a big banner up front that had the new address and since it was not that the far I decided to go check it out
First impression: the new complex that it had moved to had a flock of homeless people out by the corner. Given it is right between a liquor store and a dive bar (and right across the way is a pretty ghetto looking motel) so it wasn’t too surprising to see all those people
Inside looked a lot brighter and cleaner than the old location and definitely a lot bigger about twice the size of the old one. A lot green in the new design and they even had a juice bar. The food is the same, and the employees seem happier. Definitely not gonna stop by for late nights. But I will stop by whenever I’m craving some of their food.

Went to pick up dinner, ordered 3 beef burritos and one plain nachos. Get home 20
Minutes later to find 3 tacos and one nacho, not plain.
Called, they said oh– sorry, come back.
Drove back 20 minutes, with no sincere apology, had three burritos and still no nachos.
Frustrating that they didn’t feel it was a big deal. We order from them at least once a week, so even more frustrating. Won’t be back there for a while.
Food gets 5 stars, customer service 0 :(

This place is BOMBBBB! The cook was really nice and friendly. Ill come back to this place again!

I had the carne asada tacos combo. The tacos were very good, meat cooked well, great taste. The beans and rice were mediocre. My boyfriend got the fish tacos, chicken tacos, and potato tacos, which I had to try. The fish tacos were amazing, great taste and flavor. The chicken tacos and potato tacos were good but not great.

I LOVE this place! Their food is to die for. My ultimate favorite are the Asada Nachos. Among my favorite foods are their Beef Fried Tacos, their Supreme Asada Burrito, Menudo, and Carnitas Soft Tacos. If I didn’t live in the valley I’d probably eat here all the time. Their smoothies are so good too!

Juices, smoothies, frappes, and the coffees are so delicious and so fresh! The girls who work there are always with a smile. Love it.
And for the food– TO DIE FOR. Asada burritos are life! My favorite combo plate has to be the 2 Hard-​shell taco plate. Fresh beans always make my tongue happy.
