El Patio has some amazing Central American and Latin American-inspired cuisine, friendly staff, and a vibrant atmosphere. Given the proximity to a movie theater, I found this delightful place to offer quick services and even better food. The pupusas are filled with cheese, and while not completely authentic, their use of ingredients makes it reminiscent of an almost pupusa. Furthermore, the arepa is pretty much a faux pupusa/quesadilla, which also tasted heavenly. Standouts include beans, rice, pork, chorizo, flank steak, and plantains. The Bendeja Paisa is an excellent platter to share for two with some plantains. A few negative include finding a dead ant in a drink, the staff needing to learn what happy hour is, and the high volume of the music. Other than those misgivings, I look forward to returning.

Good food, tremendous portions. Restaurant was really cold during winter, so bring a sweater if that’s when you’re visiting.

El Patio is a pan-Latin American restaurant that serves a huge variety of foods. Their menu is enormous and they have variations from various countries down south. The setting is authentic and although the menus are in English, the staff here try to encourage you to use a little Spanish when you can which is great. Their portions are huge, prices are good for the size and the quality of food is fantastic. They have a lot of seating inside and it’s kind of a hole in the wall location, so parking is in the back. It can get crowded weekday nights though, so either go earlier or later for dinner.

Easy parking in back. I had the pollo asado platter. All parts were delicious. The house-made corn tortillas were great. Plenty of seating, with comfortable chairs. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Great to have this place in the neighborhood!

Yummers! Sat at the bar and drank a house margarita, delicious, while waiting for my to go order. Staff very friendly as were the other customers. I ordered the Pupusas Maiz / Queso con Jalapeño, cheesy spicy deliciousness, and Taquitos Hondurenos, full of flavor!

As a long-time customer, I can confidently say this is one of the best restaurants I’ve found in Seattle. Excellent for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The Pollo con Tajadas is one of my favorite dishes here.

Some of the best nachos I’ve ever had! Tons of toppings, one of the few times I thought I may need more chips, opposed to more toppings. A lot of other great dishes on the menu, can’t wait to try.

Huge portions and good prices. Didn’t have a vegetarian section on its menu but I ended up ordering sides and made it as a plate. Food was flavorful and fresh! Service forgot my friend’s order but food didn’t take too long!
