El Patio
What the experts agree on
El Patio trades an intimate colonial setting and atmospheric dining for inconsistent service and aggressive street vendors. The lobster is worth the splurge; seating options vary between the cathedral plaza and interior patio.
“It might be hard to pick a spot here: tables are either out on the Plaza de la Catedral or in the patio of the colonial house in which the restaurant is located.”
– Fodor's
