El Patio Mexican Grill - Mexia - Mexia (TX)

5 /5 Kerri Nowowiejski: We decided to take a different route home from Ft Worth to Cypress/Houston and stopped in Mexia for Mexican food and let me tell you, it’s the best Mexican food I’ve had in a while and we frequent the Mexican restaurants around Cypress. Husband agrees. I had two beef enchiladas with queso sauce, rice and charro beans. Husband had the Chili Relleno with queso sauce, rice and charros. The enchilada wasn’t dry and probably the best I’ve had- the corn tortilla was perfection. The Chili Relleno was made authentically and was so so good. Charros were delish with lots of ham, onion etc- great flavor. The rice- I usually don’t care for the rice at 99% of Mexican restaurants, but theirs was perfectly seasoned and fluffy. The young waitress was excellent and had a beautiful smile. Ambiance was normal for this type of small restaurant and it seemed clean. We may have to go off the beaten path again to come back! 5 stars for the food!

3 /5 Margaret Kelley: Very clean. Service was good but nothing special. Plates were hot food was not. Lots of food on the plate though. Lunch special Monday through Friday 10 AM to 3 PM. Unfortunately, the server failed to ask if we wanted beef or chicken on our lunch selections. I got beef by default and I don’t eat beef I eat chicken so that was disappointing. On the positive side, as the pictures will show, the inside was relatively clean bar was beautiful. Extensive bar menu bathrooms were clean although the door knob was broken on the ladies room. Overall typical nothing special Mexican restaurant but I’ve been to worse and I’ve been to better so try it. Just don’t set your expectations very high and you’ll have an enjoyable experience.

5 /5 Megan Bitner: Nice little place was a bit pricey for just some average food but our server was on point and we in general had a great time.

5 /5 MichaelnJamie Lovejoy: All I can say is that the food was delicious!!! I ordered the Speedy for lunch and everything was great! The service was on point. Definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone traveling through Mexia, Texas. My wife ordered the chili relleno
