Meet the Family Behind One of Austin’s Longest-Running Tex-Mex Restaurants
In 2019, the team at Eater wrote this article to share the story of El Patio and our family history that is intertwined with it. Erin summarized our history well when she said “ El Patio’s combination of attentive service and homemade Tex-Mex food has stood the test of time for 65 years. The Austin institution has just one location at 2938 Guadalupe Street, but it counts its customers in generations. It’s a place for grandparents to bring their grandkids, for college students to cure a hangover, and for anyone to be treated like a human, not just an order number.”
