Reviews Summary

Reviews for El Patio are highly polarized. While some praise the food and attentive service, many others describe experiences marred by poor hygiene, disappointing food quality, and extremely slow or unfriendly service. The outdoor patio ambiance is often highlighted as a positive aspect, but significant concerns about cleanliness and value for money are frequently raised.

"(Translated by Google) One star is a lot. They charged us a lot for what they served us, leftover roast, 4 portions of French fries, 5 portions of mixed salad, 7 and a half liter sodas; There were 13 of us and they charged us $7300. The bathrooms impossible to use.
It's really a shame because the location is very good.
Bad service, we had to repeat the order. There was no chimichurri, no criolla, no wines.
Regrettable.

(Original)
Una estrella es mucho. Nos cobraron una barbaridad para lo q nos sirvieron, sobras de asado, 4 porciones de papas fritas, 5 porciones de ensalada mixta, 7 gaseosas de litro y medio; éramos 13 y nos cobraron $7300. Los baños imposible de usar.
Realmente una pena xq la ubicación es muy buena.
Mala atención, teníamos q repetir el pedido. No había chimichurri, ni criolla, ni vinos.
Lamentable."

Paola Friedenberger

"(Translated by Google) Awful! The service is terrible and the food is disgusting. The soda was expired, we complained and they didn't bring us another one because they were all expired. A horror! The disgusting bathrooms cannot even be used.

(Original)
Horrible! La atención es pésima y la comida asquerosa. La gaseosa estaba vencida, le reclamamos y no nos trajeron otra xq todas estaban vencidas. Un horror! Los baños asquerosos ni se pueden usar."

Brenda Ignacio

"(Translated by Google) There is a lack of staff, they do not remove the plates from the unoccupied tables and the truth is that 1 hour for them to give you the food is quite discouraging. We do not recommend the place at all.

(Original)
Falta personal esa no retiran los platos de las mesas desocupadas y la verdad 1 hora para que te den la comida desanima bastante. No recomendamos el lugar para nada."
