El Patio Mexican Grill - Bakersfield

Cute little spot; been here forever, can't believe we just found it! Good service, intimate atmosphere

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant. I absolutely love the seafood enchilada plate, and my husband loves the chili verde.

The food at this restaurant is excellent with a wide variety of options. I just wish it was closer to my home. I have visited twice and tried two different dishes, both of which were fantastic. Even my hard-to-please wife was very satisfied.

I would give this spot 0 stars if I possibly could. Walked inside to find out how long the wait would be and the host was nowhere to be found, and once she finally showed up, she acted like I was dumb for not writing my own name down on their wait list (I 've never been there before, so how would I know I need to do the hosts job? . After being told the wait would be 15-20 minutes, we ended up waiting for 45 or so. Once finally seated, the service was initially okay, but it all fell apart after we ordered our food. The waiter was nowhere to be found for refills, and our food did not get brought out for another 45 minutes. Chili verde was cold and tough as leather, half our orders were wrong, and I had to ask for the check multiple times even though they could visibly tell my toddler was needing to leave. I most definitely will never step foot in the door again, and I wouldnt recommend this poor claim of a mexican food restaurant to anyone. Waiting 2 hours for garbage food and service is inexcusable.

I am disappointed because every time we try to have dinner here, the restaurant is either closed or 30 minutes late. They should update their website with accurate hours. Providing misleading information about their hours is frustrating, especially when we don't have all day to wait. I hope they read this message and make a change.
