Review of El Patio from 14 April 2013

My husband and I have been in Munich for one year and have tried many of the Mexican eateries in town, having come here from Texas we compare what we know and we simply LOVE the food, drinks, and service at El Patio. The owners George and Verena introduced themselves on our first visit and explained the menu to us. They are from Mexico City so the food is very authentic. We brought friends there last night and everyone enjoyed the food and the margaritas. Looking forward to their Cinco de Mayo event at 2pm. This is a favorite of ours in Munich.

Review of El Patio from 7 August 2012

Horrible service from the get-go. Based on the good reviews, I hunted this place down and arrived about 4:50. Instead of being invited in, I was told that they were not open until 5. I asked if that meant I had to leave and come back at 5, to which the waitress replied that I could sit outside and order a drink, but I could not receive the "happy hour price until 5 pm" (a whole ten minutes later). When I finally got the happy hour margarita (5.50 Eur), it was tiny and warm (no ice). I can't believe they normally charge 8.50 Eur for that! Later when I wanted to order some food, I asked if I could mix the different enchilada sauces, even if it meant paying a little extra, but the waitress firmly replied "no, that is not possible." Their perspective on service is all wrong and they'll likely find that customers won't return somewhere that their business isn't appreciated.

What is so hard to understand, when they say, that they open at 5pm?
And remind: From waiters you always get out what you put in. Be friendly, then they are friendly. :-)

I’d recommend you give it another try…I had ice cold margaritas, great food, and wonderful service both times I’ve eaten there. Looking forward to their Cinco de Mayo event.

Review of El Patio from 17 July 2012

As a native Californian, at first I was very skeptical to try El Patio, because my experience with Mexican restaurants in Germany was always rather disappointing. But I was ASTOUNDED at the quality and taste of the food here. Not only was the food authentic (and delicious), but the owner was so nice! Even better, he gives out free champagne with gummy bears on ladies' night on Thursdays. WHAT MORE COULD A GIRL ASK FOR?!

Review of El Patio from 15 October 2009

This is the ONLY Mexican restaurant that I have found in München. Nothing else (I've tried them all) comes even close to the food here. It's not 'real' Mexican food because if it was, the food and drinks would rate a 1 Pound mark instead of 3 Pounds.

In any case. Jorge is a very friendly host even if his wife can be a tad... well, unfriendly. We love their Happy Hour and their drinks.

Again, compared to everywhere else in town, El Patio is definitely the most authentic and easily the best tasting. I just wish it were about 1/2 the price.

I wasn’t treated good at all and the food is nothing special. I will not repeat this one, there are better mexican restaurants in Munich.

Review of El Patio from 23 May 2008

This is in my personal opinion (and im from mexico:)) the best and more authentic mexican food, they just not only have delicius food but also real mexican tequila of the best quality like “tequila Don Julio” or “Tequila Corralejo” in München i never had a good tequila before in any other restaurant.
