Austin's Favorite Tex Mex Restaurant Since 1954!
Check out our new Bar Menu! Click here!
We will be closed on Saturday, April 20, 2019 in observance of Easter.
El Patio Restaurant maintains a long tradition started by Paul C. Joseph in 1954 who was one of Austin’s early pioneers in the Mexican food business. His policy “merely to serve the best” is carried on today by his wife, Maryann and their children, David, Roseann, and Renee and their staff who have worked at El Patio for over 25 years.
Thank you for your patronage and we look forward to serving you for many years to come.
Family Owned And Operated Since 1954
