El Patio De Mario - EL TUITO

Fantastic food, lovely atmosphere, family-owned and run. Sit in the courtyard, near the parrots.!

Staying at a little B&B not far from town and decided to walk to town for lunch it was about 3pm they had a few tables sitting on the sidewalk and we had been the only ones inside. They have birds, fountain and a beautiful court yard with flowers. Ordered some local dish as an appetizer had no idea what is was but when we got it it was a lot of what I believe is some type of cheese it has a tofu texture and very little taste ended up taking that back buying an red onion, crackers and tomato to eat it) we had chicken enchiladas with a nice flavor and sauce. I had chicken fajitas and I've never had any like it, it had bacon, chicken pineapple and vegs served with homemade tortillas. Also a few per-funk beers and then great margaritas with lunch.

A delightful dining experience!! El Patio de Mario was a lunch stop during an El Tuito (and environs road trip. And wow was it good!! The restaurant has a couple of sidewalk (smaller tables, and about 6+ (larger tables, set in a lovely courtyard in the back where we sat for our lunch, amongst the trees, flowers, and caged caged parrots and doves. There was no written menu, our server told us what was available for the day, and we placed our orders. And what a meal it was!! What we had: beers, lemonades, and agua frescas, served with appetizers of dried/unsalted flour tortillas, salsa 's, and creamed cheese (yum!!! , plus, a plate of fresh fruits (mango, orange, lime and entrees of: an East Indian style beef dish, with tomatoes, onions, and etc., and rice coconut shrimp, huge, jumbo blue shrimp, eight of them on the plate!!, with rice, and etc. red snapper fillets, large portion, both sides of the fish, with rice, and etc. All dishes were served up with baskets of toast and corn tortillas, and very friendly and accommodating service!! The total cost for our 'feast ' was 579 pesos, for the works, for five of us!! A wonderful meal in El Tuito good food, well prepared and presented, inexpensively priced, and great service everything so much enjoyed. We could not have found a better place for lunch that day!!
