I came to this restaurant with hopes of a delicious meal, I had a delicious meal, however I was a bit disappointed with a few things. The agua de Jamaica was delicious but it was in a literal pitcher as you'll see in the photos. I also ordered birria tacos with cheese and guacamole. I felt really jibbed at this point because the 3 tacos that cost $19.99 did not come with a broth as I am used to getting everywhere I eat birria. The guacamole appetizer was $18.99 a small bowl of guacamole which was not anywhere on the menu I received. I felt so disappointed because the least they could have done was show me the price of the appetizer guacamole. Also I have never seen a restroom so small with a ceiling that looked like it was going to cave in once someone opened the door. I also was seated at a high top table which was fine but they brought me a basket of chips and salsa then once brought the guacamole they gave me two plates and another basket of chips, so this along with the menu the waiter never took after I ordered left me with absolutely no comfort to enjoy my $55 dollar meal. Mind you I was by myself. I would not recommend this place to anyone honestly. The music was nice tho.
I love the food the first time and the second time. The service the first time was excellent, unfortunately not the second time. I live a good hour from the restaurant, and I am not sure that I will be making the drive again. To us, the service is very important and I can't leave my hard earned dollars at a place that doesn't satisfy me 100%.
El Pueblito Patio is under new ownership. The staff helped make our experience the best it could be. Manager Luc, Waitress Cindy and Alejandro did their best to accommodate me. Which was an extreme disappointment as we love the Cuban dishes that we have experienced for years. The patio and service are still outstanding 👏 The food is ONLY birria. I enjoy Birria but I didn't like this. They offer Lamb, goat and beef but won't give you a small taste test to make sure you ordering the right Birria for your taste. We order QUESO, they called it cheese dip and we were confused until it arrived. It was the nacho cheese you get out of a can with added spices 🤮 I tried to make the best of the experience but overall despite the total fail with the food! The Male manager wouldn't even let me take an alcoholic drink to go even though Texas law says it's legal. He was mad that I made them take the cheese "dip" off the total
Will never go back! 😭 They also own plenty of restaurants around Texas so I expected the Birria to be better. The dipping sauce had chickpeas in it and they were soo hard, like the didn't simmer them in the sauce.

Beautiful and charming place to be with family, friends,love one or by yourself. The service is so great and lovely. The food so tasty,delicious and very good quantity . Muchas gracias a Verydiana por sus atenciones
The food is good but to be honest I go to this place for their Margaritas. I rate them as the best frozen Margaritas in the city. They do an excellent job on their Margaritas and serve them on carved Coconuts/Pineapples. They have a great outside seating setup that allows you to enjoy a quiet conversation. If you want to grab a Marg and sit outside for a chat or just to enjoy some solo time - I would recommend this spot.
This place has been around for over 30 years, serving muy delicious food. The guacamole, flautas rice, seafood selection was just yummy. The detail to all the handmade decor made this place a tropical getaway.
This restaurant has a great patio, wonderful Guatemalan and Mexican dishes and excellent coctails. We enjoyed live music several times.
Excellent customer service by the owner (Eduardo) himself, as well as his staff. On this particular night, Emilia was our waitress and she took care of us and was very attentive. It felt like a very personal dining experience because Eduardo took time to have a conversation with us (like always), and asked for feedback on the food, etc. The food and drinks were excellent, and the presentation of the food was superb (look at the photos). It’s always such a pleasant dining experience at El Pueblito Patio - and the food is delicious! Absolutely love this place - and even more so when we can dine outside in the cabana seating area. Recurring customer here ♥️♥️
