Central American spot on Aurora in North Seattle. We went in during lunchtime and were immediately seated. Our servers were helpful, friendly, and attentive, providing excellent service. We ordered only one entree since my friend told me that the last time he called the Desayuno especial, he couldn't finish it. We also ordered two pupusas to accompany our entree, unaware that a single pupusas came with the meal. My favorite team from the entree was the sausage. It had a lot of flavor. I also liked how all the other items added different tastes to it. Man, I loved the pupusas; they were soft and had lots of cheese. I do wish it had some other item besides cheese in it. Our meal was enough for two, and we had to take a pupusas or two home. Overall, I like this Central American spot and will try to come back to try other items on the menu.

The food and service is amazing I truly recommend just about every item in the menu. I have been coming here throughout the years and have never had a complaint.

Place was jumping and all the waiters were very attentive, everyone made you feel very welcomed. Had the pata soup, good flavor, I was expecting more pata like other places I've been to.

Omg this was the best tradition breakfast I've had in a long time. Diego & Stephanie we're my servers and they did an awesome job. The plantains were so sweet, the crema paired well, and a little piece of the fresh cheese! The steak was tender, those beans may look runny but god damn the flavor was incredible. Everything on my plate was exceptional. Thank you chefs!

Good solid brunch/lunch spot with parking lot in the back! I met my friend here for pre-holiday gift exchange and lunch as it was midway between the two of us in terms of fighting holiday shopper traffic. I'm so glad we chose this spot! When we arrived, there were few open tables, but they quickly filled up! Argentina had just won the World Cup and the owner/manager got on the mic to cheers the winners over France. There was lively music played throughout our meal and families gathered for a delicious meal together. I had the spinach and cheese pupusa and a taco salad, and my friend ordered the beef enchilada. We, of course, started with chips, salsa, and guacamole. We probably ordered too much food but it was all very flavorful and better than we could have hoped for. I always think a pupusa will be small and not filling and then end up having too much to eat! I look forward to future visits here so I can try some of their camarones dishes!

This was my first time trying pupusas and El Patio, but I absolutely loved everything I ordered. I ordered the Pupusas Revuelta, which you can choose from maíz (corn) or arroz (rice) flour. This particular pupusa is filled with cheese, pork, and beans. The pupusas are served alongside curtido (cabbage slaw) and tomato salsa. Each pupusa is $4.50 and for me, two pupusas was more than enough! The tamale was soft, rich, and flavorful and the same price as the pupusas. You can choose either chicken or pork as your protein. Each bite melted in my mouth and had the texture of almost butter. The Platano Frito is fried sweet plantain served with beans and cream. It was not too sweet and went well with the sides. I preferred eating it with the beans and didn't think the cream was necessary. This was a good portion for the price. I called in my order, but you can definitely order online via Grubhub for pickup and delivery. El Patio seems to have happy hour deals quite often and amazing drinks (both non-alcoholic and alcoholic). I'm interested in trying the Atol de Elote and Horchata de Morro. El Patio is located on the busy main street of Aurora Ave N, but I believe they have limited parking in the back.
