El Patio Original has been a Mexican food staple to Fremont for the past 30 years. The Lopez family began the restaurant in a hole-in-the-wall located in the Glenmoor shopping center which no longer exists. Over the years they began to expand into the next available unit until they took over four units.
In 1998 they reopened the doors to El Patio after a year of renovation and construction at the Fremont location. Their loyal customers have passed the El Patio tradition over generations.
An airy setting with traditional fare like burritos & enchiladas, plus a variety of tequilas. Based on 984 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.0 stars. Price $$

My Shrimp Super Burrito with cheese being wet was outstanding. My wife’s Mexican Shrimp Delight was equally perfect. The Churros were a great finishing crescendo of delight.

The food is good but it’s also very pricy. I really liked the salsa that comes with the chips. The flautas were fine. The customer service was good.

This is a convenient location and plenty of parking. More importantly, the margarita menu is impressive and a pitcher is reasonably priced. The food is fresh; however, lacks some spice (hence the four stars). Service is always attentive and the ambiance is fun.

Having grown up in Fremont I should have been aware of this fine restaurant years ago. However I now live in Sonora for the past 30+ years and haven’t had anyone tell me about them when visiting family and friends in Fremont until my recent visit for a celebration of life. They catered to about 50 of us without a hitch and it was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend you try them if you’re in the area.

The food was really good here. We met friends for dinner. The portions were all family style huge. Kinda like a visit to Grandma’s.

The food was good (steak fajitas), sizziling tender, and no grizzel. Margaritas was tasty and potent.

The food here is very consistent and good. Portions are slightly on the large side. Prices are also a bit on the high side. They don’t have a separate lunch menu which answers the slightly higher prices. If you want lighter fare, order from their ala carte section of the menu. Parking is ample. Very loud and family friendly. Always music in the background. They can handle larger groups. Reservations recommended for dinner. Service by Jessey was first rate. A go to consistent place to eat.

After a long time went to a Mexican restaurant. Margaritas are too good, liked it a lot after trying to drink at several places. Chicken soup is too good and not able to finish a bowl. Combo platter is so good and can taste different varieties and cannot be finished by 3 people.
