El Patio, a Mexican restaurant that opened its doors in 1954 at 2938 Guadalupe St., Austin, will close its doors next month. Paul and MaryAnn Joseph opened the restaurant near The University of Texas, and their children are involved in the day-to-day operation of the restaurant today. According to a release from the Joseph family, the restaurant's last day will be Aug. 9. The family said in the release it made the decision to retire because it is ready to "move onto other endeavors." "Our hearts are heavy because we will miss our beloved customers, who are truly extended family," the Joseph family said in the release.
