We had an excellent dining experience at Villa's Patio Mexican Restaurant, with prompt and attentive service that made us feel like we were part of the Family. From our delicious meals to the flavorful drinks, every aspect of our visit was delightful and left us eager to return for another visit. We come 1x/wk

Always enjoy everything about being here. The margaritas are amazing and the customer service from the staff is always over the top. Erica always is quick to refill a drink or make sure everything is perfect. Only downside is they close to early some nights when I get off work late.

The moment I walked into Villa's Patio Mexican Restaurant, I knew I was in for a treat, with the tasty aroma of sizzling fajitas and fresh salsa filling the air, accompanied by the cozy ambiance and friendly staff, and also had the pleasure of enjoying their mouthwatering tacos, quesadillas and nachos with exceptional margaritas. Our waitress Christina is absolutely amazing, 100% service every time, above and beyond. We eat here at least once a week

Always good authentic Mexican food and always great service. Their margaritas are some of the best around!! We like the one that the tequila is soaked in a whiskey barrel first....SO good!! Free chips and salsa. Their menu is so big with such a variety of foods along with lunch specials and ala cart... and they have a great kids menu also.

Since moving to the Cedar Rapids area, I've tried several different Mexican restaurants. I won't go so far as to call myself a connoisseur, but I do have a loving affair with the cuisine. After eating at Villa's, I no longer remember the name of any other Mexican restaurant that I've eaten at. I intend it to stay this way. Amazing food, great service, no notes. 10/10

The tacos and burritos at Villa's Patio Mexican Restaurant were exceptionally flavorful, while the guacamole, chips, and salsa added a delightful presentation and tasting experience to our dining experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and warm hospitality at this family friendly restaurant with outdoor seating. The margaritas are AMAZING! My favorite place to get margaritas!

Our experience at Villa's is always a 10. We love the shrimp tacos, enchiladas rancheras, pablanos fajitas, and jumbo margaritas - always served by an amazing staff. If someone asks what my fav Mexican around here is, I do not hesitate to recommend Villa's Patio.
