Another unexpected stop on our way to Great Lakes Crossing on Friday. We rolled in around 11:30 and were the 3rd table of customers in the restaurant. Fortunately, it did start to fill up while we are there. The service was top notch - our chips and salsa were on the table before we sat down and before our drinks were ever half way gone there was a waiter asking if we needed a refill. As nice as this was, honestly, it did start to get a bit annoying after awhile.

The salsa was very tasty and we ordered a chorizo and cheese appetizer, which was also very good. Ira ordered huevos rancheros which he liked alot. I have only had authentic huevos rancheros in Texas and Mexico, so I was a bit hesitant, but the meal was quite good. I ordered my standard (and safe) cheese enchiladas. I was a bit disappointed in these, they seem to lack flavor to me. However, since everything else was good, I would be happy to return and try a different dish.

Ira gives them 4 1/2 stars and I give them 4 stars, so we give El Patio a 4 1/4 stars.
