Great find!. Took a multi-generations family (no easy feat) and everyone was happy with the food, great service staff (Victoria). Cold Peruvian beer, great spicy sauces, good tamal (could use a bit more meat). All and all, we will be regulars here for sure! Buen provecho ~
VERY good food, exellent, friendly wait staff and very reasonable prices.
Who could ask for more?
Excellent food, family restaurant. Wewent there on a Saturday night and enjoyed the great food and service. The ceviche was great as so were the main courses. We will definetily come back.
Yummy Choice. I'm always on the hunt for an alternative to the tons of chain restaurants in Ft Myers, so, based on the positive reviews on Urban Spoon, I gave El Patio a try for lunch today and was pleased! The location is in a strip mall opposite Edison Mall...not posh by any standards, but, the interior was clean and the server was pleasant and helpful. This was my first go at Peruvian food, so, we leaned on the server for some help with our selections. We started with the house ceviche. This dish was fresh, filled with loads of seafood - octopus, fish, bay scallops and cockles - served in a lovely dressing of lime and spices, combined with thinly sliced onion. Delish. We followed that with the mussels. They were served cold, topped with a delicious blend of onions and coriander and packed the same acidic punch as the ceviche - well balanced and tasty. We finished with a large spicy seafood soup. Again, the soup was chock full of a variety of seafood with a vaguely gumbo like consistency. The peruvian dried, fried corn was a perfect salty/crunchy condiment for all of the dishes and the duo of sauces (green and red) added a nice extra layer of spice. I'll be back!
Excellent Peruvian food. Our server was very helpful and polite. My family enjoyed a variety of dishes. Great food and very affordable.
A great find delicious food, authentic
Oasis in city devoid of fine international cuisine. Excellent Lomo Saltado, the Cau Cau (tripe) was good, and I'm not normally a fan of tripe dishes. The Chicha is FANTASTIC and the flan was tasty if average.
Outstanding Peruvian Food. A fantastic restaurant in the sometimes abysmal Fort Myers. We ordered the stuffed avocados (shredded chicken, corn, tomatoes, vegetables and sauce), Tacu Tacu (chicken or beef / and rice dish - wonderful smokey flavor), Aji de gallna (shredded chicken in delicious yellow sauce with rice), and a whole roast chicken with fritas. All of it was "lick your plate clean". Tacu Tacu was the crowd favorite. (Pro tip: arroz con pollo only available on the weekends).
I will be recommending this place to everyone I know to try to make sure it is one of the restaurants that makes it here. They have outstanding lunch specials - full entrees + drink for only $7.
Do not be put off by the strip mall/mexican dive appearance - it is outstanding.
This is a fine Peruvian restaurant; good food and very affordable prices, especially for lunch. Seafood is excelent

I love this restaurant! The food is amazing! The service is good. A variety of dishes to choose from. I am so thankful for my former coworkers who told me to try this place because I have been going here ever since. I did not know how much I love Peruvian food, but El Patio has truly made me a fan of Peruvian cuisine.
1st time, I had Tacu Tacu. Wow, great taste and flavor. Steak was perfectly tender. Rice and beans perfect flavor as well.
Recommend trying.
Me and my husband had our wedding dinner here on Saturday. We reserved their private room. Let me tell you, the service the food and the decoration was amazing. Everyone who served us was so nice and wanted to make our dinner as special as possible! I couldn’t have been happier. Thank you so much especially to Vicki who was so detailed and patient with all of our questions. If you’re looking for somewhere to host a party or an event this is your place. Or even for lunch or dinner their food is amazing!!
Don't let the outside fool you. This place is out of this world. The bar makes top notch drinks. You are greeted at the door and shown to your table by a welcoming host. We we offered two for one happy hour drinks which we truly enjoyed. We had some ceviche which was absolutely perfect. My wife had some thinly sliced fried fish which was also excellent. At the end I had a delicious cup of espresso. We plan on going back to this place and also to bring our South American friends there soon. Don't miss this diamond, it is a real sparkler.

The food and service was great, they have tons of options and you can tell it's a local hotspot for good hearty meals. I love the food here! My waitress was amazing and super sweet.
Back again after 2 years, had the snapper which was a amazing highly recommend if your feeling fish!
Best food i had had in a while, love the location and atmosphere, waitress was beyond hellful and reccomended 2 great entries for my husband and I, we love it all and pińa colada was great, and to end the flan is a must have.
Great selection of Peruvian cuisine. We had the tamale which could have had a bit more por meat and not so much fat, the ceviche was good and the chupe were also good. The service is great. The place needs a bit of a make over to make it even better.
GIVE ME SOME MORE!!! Y’all this place is so good the food is fantastic. As a matter of fact now that you’re reading this I bet you can’t beat me there. Ready. Set. Go! It’s incredible so much flavor they take their time and make the food with love. If you go and you don’t invite me I will be offended! Enjoy

Wow, Authentic Peruvian at its best! My son recently visited Peru and said hands down this is simply like stepping into one of the restaurants there! Amazing fresh foods, exotic tastes and textures to please even the most discerning palate! The ripe plantains and yuca were my favorite and the colorful ceviche was the highlight. Friendly welcoming service and not too bad on the budget. Highly recommend if your looking for Peruvian fare! Top on list, plan to return!
