Needless to say, a Mexican buffet is somewhat rare – at least in South Carolina it is. We’re not sure why that is, but we stumbled upon this amazing Mexican eatery a little off the beaten path – and every Sunday they feature an incredible Mexican buffet. Sounds like the perfect day trip, right?!

El Patio opened in 2001 in Conway in a large restaurant just off US 501 on the south side of Conway and enroute to Myrtle Beach.

Inside, you’ll find a bright and airy festive restaurant with traditional, authentic Mexican decor and plenty of room to accommodate small or large groups. All of that room is a good thing… especially on Sunday afternoons…

… that’s when El Patio hosts their weekly Mexican buffet filled with all your favorites and always topped off and ready for another visit.

Fill your plate with the traditional Mexican fare you’ll find on the menu and pile your faves into a heaping pile. El Patio’s regular menu features plates filled with loads of delicious Mexican fare, but at the buffet you can pick and choose your own combinations!
