The Journey of La Fiesta Patio Cafe
La Fiesta Patio Cafe was established in 1974 at 1421 Pat Booker Rd, Universal City, TX 78148. It was one of the first Mexican restaurants that focused on serving health-conscious meals. The fresh ingredients, authentic as well as Tex-Mex recipes, and a welcoming atmosphere made it a staple for locals.
Over the years, the home-style cooking and dishes like fajitas, enchiladas, and house-made tortillas made the restaurant one-of-a-kind. The restaurant used to offer both dine-in and carry-out options from Tuesday to Saturday. Cooking with 100% pure peanut oil and offering lunch specials on weekdays added to the restaurant’s appeal.
Despite the expected remaining days, customers looked forward to a final visit. This sudden exit marks the end of a heartfelt chapter. Now, if the restaurant reopens in a new location, it will be a moment of pride and celebration for San Antonio’s culinary scene.
