The Patio is a fantastic new spot for Mexican food in Baton Rouge! The restaurant has a very clean and inviting aesthetic, and the service was top-notch—super friendly, always available when needed, but never pushy. The menu has great options, and the food was outstanding. I had the lunch chicken fajitas, and my friend had the taco salad—both were impressive. We’ll definitely be back!

Our first time here since the new owners. The food was very good. Service was a little slow considering the restaurant was mostly empty. We had the carne asada and the beef fajitas. Both dishes were served with ample fixings. The asada was the better choice, though both were good. The margaritas are ample and taste great.

This new restaurant is a must! Great food that is made fresh. There were four of us and we tried everything. The tuna tostadas and ceviche is absolutely the best in town. Their tamales are very moist and are the closest to authentic that I have ever had. Well worth the drive.

The Patio Tex-Mex Fusion is a welcoming Tex-Mex restaurant located in Baton Rouge. While the indoor seating is somewhat limited, as the name suggests, they offer just as much outdoor seating as they do indoors. We were greeted promptly, seated immediately during the lunch rush, and provided with menus. It was impressive to see two different staff members assist us before our server arrived; I really appreciated the teamwork among the staff! For starters, the queso was genuinely cheesy—not runny—and, most importantly, delicious. We sampled two different margaritas: the house frozen and the top-shelf on the rocks. Both were excellent and left us wanting more. For our main courses, we chose the Birria tacos and the lunch combo fajitas. Honestly, the fajitas were outstanding! The Birria tacos were beautifully presented and larger than any I’ve had before. They contained no fat and had a generous amount of meat, making them delicious, but the fajitas truly stole the show. Our main server, Alex, was attentive, knowledgeable, and kind, but everyone we encountered was friendly. The music featured popular songs that complemented the atmosphere perfectly. Prices are average for the area, but the quality of the food makes it worth every penny. Don’t miss out on this hidden gem!

I went here for the first time tonight with my wife and it was an amazing experience. Our waitress Joey was extremely polite and knowledgeable of the menu. She made our night even better. The atmosphere and food was great. Bathrooms were very clean. I recommend the fried ice cream for dessert. We will definitely be back!

First time visiting but really had a great experience. Margaritas were some of the best in the city, especially their standard house margarita. The red white and blue margarita flight was fun and a good value. The tres leches was among the best I've ever had!

VIBES, FLAVOR, AND $1.99 MARGS?! Say less. Obsessed! The vibes are top-tier! Like Frida Kahlo meets modern lounge. Super friendly and diverse staff. I had the Southwest egg rolls (SO good) and the birria tacos that came with consommé, rice, and beans, chef’s kiss. Bonus? $1.99 margaritas mid-day! Run, don’t walk.

I've been coming here since it opened. I consistently patronized, trying everything on the menu while the restaurant awaited its permit to sell alcohol. Once that happened, my visits here increased because the margaritas are GREAT!! The atmosphere and intentional touches to the bathroom deco could spark envy among restaurant bathrooms in the vincinty. It's so classy chic. I've been served by multiple staff members here, and they follow the example of the owner Ton, who is extremely friendly, welcoming, and hilarious. He never hesitates to visit my table and the tables of all his guests. He shares updates on the food and drink menu. I appreciate his cultural approach to the overall functionality of his restaurant. Here, I get traditional Mexican with an Asian touch, which makes the flavors of the food unmatched. I've introduced this place to many of my colleagues who share in my sentiment. My favorite dish is the Mahi Mahi with grilled veggies. I love the updated menu, and today, they said fresh sushi was soon to be added as well. Today, I had the taco salad, and it perfectly complimented my Azul frozen Margarita. As long as these doors are open, I will be walking through them.
