El Patio - (Near Palm Springs, CA)

5 /5 Ian F: El Patio was a pleasant surprise! We got seated fairly quickly despite what appeared to be a long wait. Our server was super friendly, and the food tasted really good. My son got the Tacolgado (four birria & cheese street tacos) and the three of us adults split two fajita dishes. It was a lot of food. I would definitely go back.

5 /5 Jarred Flores: El Patio ended up being one of our favorite stops in Palm Springs. We came in for a casual drink and ended up staying for three rounds of margaritas because the atmosphere was just that good. The space is colorful, open, and relaxed without trying too hard. It feels like a place that knows exactly what kind of experience it wants to offer—good drinks, good food, and a patio that makes you want to linger. I ordered the chicken and cheese quesadilla, which was simple but done really well. The tortilla had a crisp edge, the cheese was melted perfectly, and the chicken was flavorful without being dry. It came with fresh salsa that was probably the standout of the meal. Bright, spicy, and clearly made in-house. We ended up asking for more and used it on everything. The margaritas were strong, well-balanced, and not too sweet. Each round was consistent, and they came out fast even though the place was busy. Our server was friendly and casual, which matched the vibe of the place. No pressure, no rush—just easy, attentive service. If you’re in Palm Springs and want a spot to enjoy a laid-back afternoon with solid drinks, great chips and salsa, and a breezy outdoor setup, El Patio delivers. We’ll definitely be back.

5 /5 Steven Erkman: We recently visited El Patio in Palm Springs to catch up with a friend we hadn’t seen in four years, and it was the perfect setting for a long-overdue reunion. The moment we arrived, the vibrant outdoor patio and lively atmosphere set the tone for a relaxed and fun evening. Whether you choose to sit under the shade of the trees or enjoy the warm desert air, the ambiance here is one of the highlights of the experience.

5 /5 Amy Boarman: Anyone that puts less than 5 stars is a Karen. This place rocks. The bar is on point. Tried the shrimp and pepper appetizer and house made pico/salsa. Everything was just awesome. Elias is one of the most personable bar tenders ever. Awesome!
