El Patio Mexican Restaurant Reviews in Troy

  Fast service. They bring chips and salsa to the table  and the salsa is very good.
The lunch specials are fantastic. We ordered the fajita, chicken and steak. Food arrived in just under 10 minutes!

  Good homemade Mexican food. Have eaten here several times -- always tasty food, friendly staff. Many options for my vegetarian daughter, too!

  This place used to have me under its charm but after my most recent visit I don't think I'd ever think twice about dining here again.

The warm chips and delicious salas were good as usual but that's about where it ends in my book.

We ordered the chicken quesadilla rellana and a nachos that had beef, chicken, and beans but I'm forgetting the name.

The quesadilla was approximately 4in, wasn't cut, and was so watery that the entire bottom part of it was soggy and disgusting. We didn't even eat it because no one wants uncut, watery, and sogged out quesadillas.

The nachos had an easy 1/2in of liquid collected on the bottom of the plate that sogged out that entire layer of chips (1/2 of the order was garbage because of this).

Because the food here is so inexpensive we didn't want to complain or send it back we simply asked for extra chips to eat the toppings of that second layer of soggy nachos with and the waiter completely flipped out and said that we can't have anymore chips and if we didn't like the food to send it back when it came out.

Needless to say, we won't ever be dining at this place anymore. Only saving grace is the chips and salsa but even that isn't enough to bring me back. Too bad we were so irritated and disgusted with everything that we walked out before I remembered to take photos of the hot mess they call Mexican food.

  I have been here 30-40 times. I loved it, best food, great service and never to packed.

Today everything changed. My wife, brother, mother, and I sit down and order dinner. Food comes fine, I take my first bite of my burrito and a *bleeping* toothpick is in my food! I notify my waitress and wash it off as a cooking error. My brother then says a fly is crusted to the inside of his glass, again we just put it behind us. Never got angry at all.

I go to pay and tell the male waiter/manager about the food and he gives me attitude as if im trying to rip him off? He says well you ate the food didnt u with an attitude, if i didnt file that toothpick under cooking error and under someones toothpick, something or someone would have gotten hurt, thats why i still ate it.

My wife gets home, 2 hours later, food poisoning.

Long time customer and I will never ever go back.
