El Patio La Quinta — Restaurant in La Quinta

A good friend of mine recommended this spot, and I have to say it really exceeded my expectations! The ambiance is cute with an earthy, colorful vibe and an open half-kitchen concept. The chips and salsa were very flavorful, and we started our meal with house-made margaritas -Tamarindo, Jamaica, and Mango with Tajín. They were all delicious, but I think the mango was my favorite! I wasn't in the mood for meat definitely had seafood on my mind, so I ordered the octopus tacos, while my partner got the fish burrito. It was perfect because we could share! The service was great throughout the meal, but we hit a snag when it came time to pay.

Really nice looking Mexican restaurant with unique decor. We sat on the patio which was really nice. The servers were also very friendly! And checked up on us regularly.

The food and drinks though were unimpressive. I ordered a Pina Colada which was decorated really nicely and came in a unique glass. However, it tasted very watery and was not a good Pina Colada at all. We also had the watermelon margarita and the Jamaica which were better.

We shared the Lidia and Guanatos tacos. We found them very plain, and were disappointed they were not like the tacos and food we have had in Mexico. The beans had no flavor, it would have been nice if the tacos came with cheese, the meat could have used more flavoring, etc. We did not like the food at all! And we did not think anything was...
