very very Poor Service & unreasonable service
15 Jan 2013On 13th Jan 2013, late evening, My sis n her hubby were looking ard for nice place to chill & watch soccer after a heavy dinner.
They settled at El Patio & ordered drinks from the mgr.
The mgr told them that they had to order some food, appetizer or main. So they DESPITE being very full from dinner, ordered chicken wings.
After drinks were served, the mgr then tell them they had to order $15 per pax.
Only becoz the couple wanted to continue watching soccer & had started on their drinks & some nachos, they ordered more food.
After which they checked with another customer next them if they ordered $15 per pax, they were shocked to discover they did not ordered $15 per pax as claimed by the mgr.
what was shocking was the "terms & condition" of ordering $15 per pax was not highlighted on the menu, neither during the initial order.
My poor sis was forced into ordering so much food when she couldn't even finish the chicken wings she initially ordered.
This is unexpectable service in Singapore!

churros... yum.
29 May 2012we've walked by this place a number of times and was drawn by the negro modello so we decided to try it out the other night
good number of tables out doors makes good seats for people watching.
service was ok.
the baby chair was clean and having the whole table as a drawing area was key.
would we return? yes. but only for the negro modello and the churros and ice cream dessert.
the burrito was tasty as was the fajita but just not very good value. i don't need a monster plate of food but at the same time, 24 bucks for the fajita just didn't seem right. we tried and and know what it's like but just not for us...
at the end of the day i kept this as a 'Recommend' basically for the churros and good overall ambiance to just relax and have a meal. it was also family friendly so that works for us...

Apalling Service
03 Mar 2012I have been here a couple of times. The food is regular Tex Mex nothing outstanding. The service is terrible. I tried to book a table for a Saturday and she gave me so many instructions and conditions that I decided not to go.
The staff is sullen and discourteous and smug that they are so busy. Not a pleasant experience!
