El Patio Restaurant

I love this place! Just like the name says, El Patio, it has the best one in town. They have some of the best Mexican food, but the patio and the TV at the bar, and especially their margaritas, from what I've heard, is why everybody goes. Sometimes the service can be a little slow, but they are very friendly and accommodating. Get there early, especially in the spring or summer or early fall, because it gets packed.

We came on a Friday night at 6 and there were lots of people. We got lucky and found a table immediately. The service was very attentive, and while it took some time to get our food, we saw that no one else got their food before us. Our server joked they had go catch the cow. Food was very delicious and I would go again if I'm in the area.

As good as any family style generic Mexican food I’ve had in New Mexico, Arizona, and the Desert in SoCal. It’s not going to win any awards, but the price is right, the plates are hot, and the margaritas aren’t too watered down. Kids are welcome and the patio, appropriately, is a centerpoint. I had the Chile Verde plate with flour tortillas. I’d like it to be a bit spicier, but understand we’re in Simi Valley, not Oaxaca.

Local hot spot known for authentic great tasting food and relaxed atmosphere. Good prices too.

I Love El-patio they have really great food. The enchilada salad is absolutely 💯 delicious. They have great Cadillac margaritas 😁. The chili verde burritos is yummy too! Some of my family and I went for my son's 10th birthday beginning of February. El-patio had heaters outdoors for the customers ,and one young gentleman was moving them around accordingly. Great customer service. I recommend to anyone who who is in the mood for Mexican food🤤
