El Patio - Alachua

The food was delicious. The waiting staff were talking and laughing loudly, even though they weren't very busy. Many of them were standing around chatting. Our waitress was good, but we did notice a lack of attentiveness. This was my second time dining here and the service was better the last time we came. Hopefully they can focus on the food and reduce the noise level next time.

We always come to this restaurant as a family. Stephanie is absolutely amazing! She makes us feel like part of the family. Everyone does that, but this is our favorite spot. The food is fantastic, especially the hot sauce. We can't wait to visit El Patio again!

The ambiance of the seats and tables is vibrant and lively. The service was excellent as well. I may have found the food a bit fancy for my liking, but my wife thought it was delicious. The menu was extensive and the presentation of the dishes was impressive. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant.

I always go to el patio when steph tends bar. she is very attentive to her customers. I never have to wait long for a drink. big bartender, friendly and always polite. always had a great meal and brought to my table beautiful and hot.

The wife and I were traveling down to University of Florida to take our daughter home for the summer. This is the 2nd time we have stayed in Alachua but our first visit to El Patio. I had the Chimichanga fajita with steak. It was fantastic! My wife had the Taco Salad with beef and she loved it. We also a couple of Margaritas on the rocks which were very tasty! Service was great as well. Anytime we are in the area we will definitely be eating at El Patio in Alachua!
