I love to eat: El Patio (4351 Township Ave. Simi Valley, CA)

Apparently there's an El Patio and El Patio Cantina. This review will be based on El Patio (the original). I remember coming to this place back in the early 2000's. I had frequent this place with my friends Stephanie, Aimee, and Sarah when I hanged out with them back in the 2000s. Wish I knew were the girl Sarah is at. Anyways, hanging out with three girls in Simi Valley gave me a new experience on things. One of those things was food and El Patio definitely played a big role. This restaurant is situated in a very old plaza. The parking is very huge, the restaurant does need some renovating, but all I can say is that the food is definitely worth the trip. It's definitely difficult to find a really good (any kind) of restaurant nowadays. Outside doesn't really look appealing and it doesn't look like a Mexican restaurant until you enter inside. Usually when I had come here with friends, we sat outside. But, this time I wanted to sit inside and it definitely felt like any other Mexican restaurant. The vibe just was so magical, that it had reminded me all the times I came here to eat by myself or with my friends. I ordered the one plate I always order when coming here which is the 1 1/2 pound chimichanga and cherry coke with extra cherries. They always add a lot of cherries to the coke, which is my favorite drink to get. I don't drink soda often, so this is a great treat when I do. The chimichanga is also great here. 1 1/2 pound of meat and cheese is awesome! You can't beat a treat like this anywhere else. Of course the chips and salsa are appetizing until you get the main course. I think if the restaurant had done more renovating outside and a little more dim lights inside, this restaurant is the perfect date-restaurant for the young and mature audiences. I love this place, and will definitely make a trip back here!! 5/5 for the food, 4/5 appearance of the restaurant. Check them out when the have the Sunday Brunch. I might check it out and let you all know how it is. Thanks for reading my blog. Like it, have your friends check it out, and like my posts!!
