update, 6-30-12, food still passable, but last 2 times service has been terrible, got there 5 minutes before a couple pulled up to the front door in a jaguar, guess who got served 1st? guess who didn't get tipped, we are very good tippers and i am ashamed for doing that but it was so obvious they went for who they thought would be a better tipper and put us to the side i hope owners read these plus i live next to the owners brother, i hope they correct this or we won't be back, i said the food was good not the greatest in town

very good, chili relleno was great, there is still hope for mexican cuisine in wichita, try, you will like, portions could be bigger but not bad for the price, one of the best i have tried in wichita

used to be excellent.... i have ate at el patio for over 8 years. i will no longer be going there and here is why:

the service has gone downhill recently. it seems like it is ran by teenagers now that could care less about doing their job. last few times i have been they will not refill my drink until you wave your arms and shout at them. several people had to do this while i was there. they always sit at the center table and eat or play with their phones. they act like you are a nuisance and inconvenience when you ask for basic service. it is a shame because i loved thisplaceand used to eat there on a weekly basis. please note that this is based on many recent visits, not just one poor experience.

not anymore. i will miss you el patio! it was good while it lasted.
