What People Are Saying About Patio Loco

In Short – The eponymous patio is on a sloping parking lot, mostly under a tent. The tables are surrounded by benches and folding chairs. Inside, it's stucco walls, concrete, brick and tile floors, funky barstools and lots of windows. A downstyle, bohemian-cool cantina. The empanadas are accompanied by a smoky-hot chipotle salsa. If it's on special, try the pabellon: Juicy shredded beef served with black beans, rice, fried plantains and a crispy corn cake.
GLAD IT CLOSED
by christa713
I am glad this place closed, Leroy. The owner of Patio Loco (Leroy) doesn't even pay his employees. They all quit after a couple of months, when they realize that either they are never getting a pay check, or the checks they do get end up bouncing. Don't eat at any of his restaurants...he's a horrible person!!
- Pros: The food is okay, at most.
- Cons: The owner doesn't pay his employees. Apparently he uses their money to do renovations/ remodeling.
Thank you !!

THE BEST I HAVE HAD
by jhgsc
Not being from there and looking for a place for dinner, we really got lucky finding this place. We expected "just another Mexican place" but this was a lot more... the food was outstanding and can best be described as Mexican with an international flavor. All the food was unique, tasteful and spicey without being "hot".... We enjoyed our dinner so much we wanted to compliment the chef and we eventually talked to Leroy, the owner, and he is very passionate about his work and wants everyone to to enjoy his food. And the marquaritas are real.... not some package mix. Thanks again, Leroy.
