Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Good authentic Mexican food. Usually very busy. We order out from here a lot. Recommended.

Best Mexican place in town. If you want to experience authentic, this is the place to go. There is a reason why El Patio has bee open for many years and has a good standing with the local community. I highly encourage anyone to try a burrito and or the tacos. Regardless of what you get I'm sure it will be 5 star quality.

We've been hearing about El Patio for a year or so and we finally made the trek over to West Liberty. It was totally worth the trip as they've got the best classic and Americanized Mexican we've had since I moved from Central Washington! A group of 4 started with some tacos for an appetizer. Very similar to Michoacana in Iowa City, but the tortillas are better here. The list of meats isn't as exhaustive, but it's more than you'll need and they are incredible! It's the sort of place you take a bite and then high five your waitress. For a main course my better half had a Chimichanga - the first decent one we've had in 4 years! The folks here got the memo that cheese sauce doesn't belong on this Mexican delight! I had a chalupa and an enchilada to test the classic waters - there was no looking back. When I took a bite of my chicken chalupa, it was like happiness had laid a golden egg in my mouth! The enchilada was also a delight - key point, pork is available, but you have to ask for it. A carnitas enchilada is straight up Boss. As with Michoacana, the attached store has everything you need, if what you need is Takis, a Pinata or some Margarita mix. Truth be told, we bought some sweet bread and it was a nice ending to a great meal! Totally worth the drive to check this place out. Incredible food made by folks who actually know how to make it.

Restaurant with a mini grocery store attached. Pretty popular place by the looks of the full tables each time I've went. I had three tacos with asada, pastor, and chicken. All were very good and seasoned. You have a choice if authentic street style or American. So you can have it your way. The salsa and guacamole were pretty good. There is two house hot sauces that were pretty good, they are not too spicy though. This is a good spot if you are in town, they are a sit down place with a good menu. Only downside is that service can be very slow, had quite a wait each time I went here.

My family and I are regulars here. The tacos carne asada are great Mexican style. My father is a huge fan of the tostadas. The ground beef burritos are pretty good as well. The refried beans and rice are kind of bland, and the salsa is lackluster. It can be very busy (with a long wait) depending on when you come. The attached grocery is a good place to pick up Jarritos, but avoid the pastries; they tend to be stale. All in all good, cheap food.

This place totally sucked. Service was the worst I have ever seen. They had teenage kids as servers who were more interested in other things other than waitressing. Ordered two tacos which took 25 minutes to get and only because I had to tell them they were sitting on counter ready to go. They were cold. Flavoring was horrible which didn't help. Highly do NOT recommend this place. Rather go two blocks up the street to Gabys burritos. I actually only give half a star.

Con: We had a really long wait for our food. Pros: Everything else! I had the the Al Pastor Mexican style taco. It pretty much ruin all other tacos for me. Delicious!!!! Even though it took time for us to get the food, the server was attentive and brought a refill of chips and salsa and more drinks when we asked.

If I were rating the tacos, this would be an easy five star restaurant--they are phenomenal (be sure to have them the Mexican way--meat, cilantro, onions, a slice of avocado, and a spritz of lime juice)--the best in Eastern Iowa that I have had, and we have some fgood places--the pastor is my favorite, but they have the traditional lengua and cabeza that a more main stream place might shy away from. The tortas and the enchiladas are excellent as well. Less stellar are the refired beans--very disappointing--the quesadillas, and the chili rellenos. The chips and salsa are great, and don't forget to ask for the bottles of red and green salsa to go with the tacos!

Delicious! Carne asada is td4... Pastor tacors are another favorite.

I always have to visit this place when I am visiting my family in Iowa. I love their tortas and their tacos. They also have really great chips and salsa. Their prices are extremely reasonable and the service is good. It is a no-frills place (half of the space is a restaurant, half is a grocery store), but it has awesome food.
