My son got one with a variety of meats. Our wives got pozole. We LOVED the food! Generous potions of really hot (temperature) food. Perfectly cooked. The service was good. The ambiance was nice.

You'd have to go as far as Chicago to find another Mexican restaurant this good. Well done La Patrona!

La Patrona is a fantastic restaurant in Freeport. The staff is always friendly and attentive. The…read morefood is absolutely fantastic. Prior to moving out of Freeport I used to eat there on a regular basis. Everything we ordered was always delicious. We would take out of town family there as well as our kids. It's my opinion that La Patrona is the best Mexican Restaurant in Freeport. A couple of shout outs off the menu. The Queso Fundido is a must. It's absolutely delicious and has resulted in playful table fighting over whom gets the last of it. It comes with tortillas, but we like to dip chips in it. My favorite meal is the Enchiladas Suizas. They're so delicious with a great sauce and the beef and chicken was always flavorful. My lady's favorite is the Pollo Loco. She likes it so much that if I had to order for her, I know that I can get this and not have to worry that she won't love it. It's a total win. The only issue I have with El Patrona is that it can get very loud, and it makes it hard to have a conversation with others at your table. Other than that, it's a great restaurant with amazing food. Definitely worth eating at.

My friend and I decided to spend the weekend in Freeport recently. We found The Wagner House on…read moreYelp. It really is the coolest place in downtown Freeport. It's housed in the historic Wagner Printing building. They did a remarkable job renovating this space. Urban industrial keeping but updating much of the original space. The bar area is filled with high end gins, vodkas, whiskies, and wines all displayed in wooden shelves and cubbies. Relaxing lighting and comfortable bar seating. The bartenders and waitstaff are so nice and accommodating. I had a gin from France that was excellent. We had dinner afterwards. The dinner space is dimly lit and relaxing. Nice for a date night out. We ordered the Greek style ahi tuna and the pan seared steak. The tuna was cooked perfectly medium rare. The steak was well seasoned but I would ask for less gravy or have it on the side so you can put less or more on it to your liking. The chocolate ganache cake was very good. Very rich. Good for sharing. The upstairs space is soooo nice with comfortable vignette seating, tv's, a ping pong table, live music space, upstairs bar area. Beautifully updated with wooden floors and brick walls. This place makes it worth a trip back to Freeport. Thanks!

So there has always been a lot of hype around this restaurant in Freeport, and I was looking…read moreforward to taking my mother out for a nice meal. Our entire party was very disappointed. The food, while edible, was not up to par with the pricing. It's as if the restaurant wants to be high end, but doesn't quite hit the mark with the food. Our appetizer, baked Brie with apples, was served on a black plate that honestly, looked filthy. The rim of the plate was greasy and smudged all over. The Brie had some limp, mixed lettuce as a garnish (that should have been a clue as to the level of attention the kitchen pays to presentation). Further, there wasn't any melted Brie in there, but there was Brie rind. The onion mushroom soup was salty, and all the onions and mushrooms were invisible, having been pulverized into the broth. The servers brought the food out like they were dropping a book on the table. One of the salads ordered, was not delivered with the rest of the food- not sure if the waitress of the kitchen screwed that up. The drinks were okay- they were the only thing not sub-standard. I'm giving this 2 stars because the building interior is historic and beautiful, the chairs were comfortable, and the cocktails were fine. It would be a nice place to have pre-dinner cocktails, but I strongly suggest you go somewhere else for your dinner.
