The food was good but the service was horrible. No refills. The server was never there.

The tacos here are some of the best I’ve had, but the wait here is extraordinarily long. Food is worth it if you have some time for them to prepare it for youm

I have been going to Taco Patio since it opened around 1996 and I love it! The staff is friendly and remembers regular customers. The food is always delicious. Try the ground beef tacos — they’re wonderful!

The quesadillas will fill you up before you’re even half way done with it ! But it’s so good you will force your self to keep eating

very disappointed of this Place, been coming to this place for years and tonight I was treated poorly by one of their employees, I always order the same and today they wanted me to charge extra for lettuce and tomato for something that come with that!!! ridiculous !!! I asked to spoke with the person in charge and they refuse to talk to me. I don’t recommend this place, don’t even bother to come and have that bad experience

0 Stars. Rude Service people like this shouldn’t be in business. I have been here before and every time I come there is always something with them that goes wrong. So this time I will write about my experience and will never go back. There is a lady that seems like is the one in charge but would not own up to it by the name of Maria. My wife had asked for a dish and for them to hold the onions, when the dish came out it had onions we brought it up to the waitress she took the plate back and when it came back it was the same dish but the cook had picked out the onions by hand. Rather take my business somewhere else.

This place is the best authentic Mexican food around. Get the Orange hot sauce. Yum!

Very poor service. If I had a option for 0 stars. that would be my pick. I have been to that place couple times… waitresses don’t ever get your order right. The food seriously sucks. I would not recommend to anyone this tacaria. Los Burritos is the best in this area.

When it comes to Mexican food, we take it so serious! Honestly, we find it rather hard to find a Mexican restaurant(take out) that uses fresh ingredients, and it always taste the same! You are never left wondering, umm, that was not as good as I originally thought. With that being said, we’ve never been disappointed! Very large serving sizes. The tacos are filled to the top of the shell. Burritos are what we call«super sized». Super tasty, loaded with meat of your choice and variety of toppings. Tamales are always very fresh and tasty. Loaded nachos are seriously loaded to the top of the box! So many toppings, you cannot even see the chips. Box weighs almost five pounds. I kid you not. We usually get take-out, but have stopped in to eat, and experienced the same wonderful service as we do when getting take-out. When eating in, you are served chips and two types of salsa. Average wait time for food is 10 – 15 mins(if that) Menu has a very large selection, and priced just right. Especially for the amount of food you receive. Place is pretty clean, minus the«occasional» funky smell in between the outside door, and door leading into the restaurant. I’m usually not a huge salsa fan, but I do enjoy their red salsa.

Restaurant review Inexpensive mexican food is a huge plus at this location. I had the steak chimichanga which has ample amount of beef. The dinner comes with rice, beans, and some gauc/sour cream which usually cost more at other restaurants. Service is fast and made to order. You can order carry out to save on tips, but you miss out on the free salsa and chips. Overall a step up from Taco Bell. Pro: large portion size, friendly staff Cons: greasy Hidden gem: None

Great steak burritos. Their burritos are just a little more expensive $ 5.95, but they have daily specials and really pack the tortilla.

I was in the mood for tacos, but wanted to try a new place. Enter Taco Patio. I haven’t been in the area long enough to know what this building was before TP, but I’m speculating that it was a Taco Bell, right down to the booths. I came in expecting to order at the counter, but I was told by an employee to have a seat and she would serve me. Okay, cool. I was greeted with chips, salsa, and a smile. I decide to order the 3 taco dinner: I chose 3 different meats: chicken, beef, and pork. The dinner also comes with beans, rice, and guacamole. The chips and salsa were fresh and tasty, and assisted with my wait for my food(which was about 10 minutes). I also enjoyed some silly Spanish-speaking soap opera on Univision. I am not as fluent as I’d like to be in Spanish, so most of the dialogue was lost on me. I could only understand the doorbell ringing and someone’s mother laughing. The tacos were very good, with tender meat. And also very filling. I also ordered a cola(I forgot whether it was Pepsi or Coke) with my meal, and I neglected to ask about refills. As such, I was charged for 2 drinks since I got 2 refills(you only get one refill for free). So that was my boo-boo. This is a nice place, with friendly people. Even though I still have a favorite taqueria near me, I’d come here for lunch/dinner if I’m around this way. It’s pretty cool.

(2.5 stars) We’re seriously considering finding another tacqueria as our latest experiences at Taco Patio have been disappointing, largely because of the inconsistency of the quality of the food. Sometimes the guacamole looks old and sometimes it’s very sour. Sometimes the meat will be tender and sometimes it looks dry. Sometimes they put a lot of rice in the taco meal and sometimes there’s barely any. I don’t get it. About the only thing that is consistent is the staleness of the chips. Perhaps it’s because they put the chips in the same container as the tacos, thus steaming the chips with the heat from the tacos. The chips should really come separately anyways. Nobody wants stale chips.

Pork torta was very good, wirh warn, fresh bread. Chicken tacos were a little bland. The salsa served w/chips was pretty good. Peeve alert: in otherwise empty dining room, when you come by to ask how everything is, STICKAROUNDFORTHEANSWER.

In my mission to find chimichangas as good as those at burrito house, this place makes pretty good steak ones. I just have to have them fry mine«well done» so that the shell is crispy enough, but other than that, this is a good substitute for my other fav mex restaurant.

Pretty Tasty! My friends and I just wanted something quickly that we could pick up and take to home to nosh on. We went in on a Saturday night and we called in our order ahead of time and everything we ordered was warm, ready, tasty and CORRECT! And we had a lot of congested restrictions etc… They had really nice portions and everything looked and tasted fresh and of course better than your typical Americanized Mexican joint. The prices were pretty good as well. We got a mixture of chips and salsas to nachos and a lot of stuff in between. The only issue I had is the little waiting ordering area is tiny and tight especially when there are a lot of people ordering or waiting for their orders. But after you partake in the yummy goodness that kind of goes to the wayside… Come and get your taco on you won’t be disappointed!

Very, very good food. Hadn’t been here in about 15 years and it’s just like I remembered. Very tasty food and good service. I had the chicken enchiladas and my fiancée had the chicken burrito. Both were incredible. The green sauce and the red sauce(in bottles) are awesome. The salsas they bring out with the chips aren’t real good. I wouldn’t eat them, but everything else was fantastic. I can’t wait to come back. Great food.

Taco Patio is awesome… This is one of my favorite spots to grab a giant Torta and tacos. The torta is ridiculously huge and they give alot of meat. Their tacos can come american style(lettuce, tomato and cheese or you can get the mexican style, onions and cilantro). Pretty much these are my staples, but today my girlfriend and I wanted to partake in some of the traditional food. My girlfriend ordered the Tlacoyo. ITWASOUTSTANDING. Tlacoyo is a blue corn tortilla stuffed with cheese and on top is a mountain of steak, nopales(cactus) and cheese. Holy nikes batman!!! I got the Carne en su Jugo. The literal translation is «Steak in Juice». I have to say it was spicy, with steak, scallons, beans, in what I can only describe as a mexican phở minus the noodles. it was spanish photastic. Prices are reasonable the Tlacoyo is only $ 5.99 and my Carne was $ 7.99, but you can get tacos, burrito, or the giant torta for around 5 – 6 bucks. They only think that makes me not give a 5 star is the orange pork dishes are not my friends. Recap: Huge Portions, Great Prices, Traditional choices. Taco Patio. You make my life better.
