Great authentic Mexican food. Good size portions and service was very nice. It's too bad more people don't know about this place. Maybe because from the outside it looks kinda blah but inside is traditional Mexican atmosphere and kind service. read more

Easy to find. Needs better decor outside. Two entrances, 'Bar' and 'Restaurant'. We chose the restaurant. We went for a late lunch. No other patrons. Quite a selection of drinks. They quickly brought out tortilla chips with a homemade salsa and hot sauce. I chose the chimichangas in queso sauce. Hubby had the enchiladas in mole sauce. Mine was ok. I wasn't expecting the food to be drenched in sauce. If you like queso sauce, this is for you. The rice was ok, but felt like it was missing something. My husband's enchilada tasted good he said. Service was fine. They did check on us to ask if everything was good. Appreciated that. This was a lunch, and there were no lunch offerings. Found that surprising. Could offer that and plate smaller portions. I mention that because lunch was over $50. Overall, could use better decorations outside and inside. And perhaps offer more reasonable lunch options. Our opinion, but was worth visiting. You never know when you'll find a diamond in the rough. read more

Can't speak to the dining experience but I've ordered takeout from La Patrona and was always happy with the food. Give them a try!

Food was delicious had a lot of flavor! Service was excellent the place is very cute & we will be back!

Great atmosphere and place to chill by yourself or be with friends. The hot chicken and waffle was so yummy... But the buttermilk souffle pancakes were something special. They came out so hot and moist and ooey gooey! Great flavor, not too sweet. The cocktail "The Winona" was cool but there was nothing special about it in its taste. read more

Enjoyed the food here better than most Mexican we've been to. . Service was very good. Will return.

I normally come on here to air bad experiences at restaurants but that's quite the opposite for this review. I will preface by saying I eat at many Taquiera's / Mexican food spots between dutchess Putnam and Westchester county. La Patrona has better food than Las Mananitas for sure. Guacamole is delicious and so are their pork tacos. Service is quick and helpful and the ambiance is nice and relaxing! Definitely recommend read more

The food was amazing here and the drinks were good. We loved the chips and salsa and will definitely be coming back. Good for groups too. read more

Stopped here for lunch on a road trip. Randomly found this place on Yelp and had good reviews and figured we would stop. Glad we did. It's a cute little place looks authentic. The service was great. Their was one guy working and he worked really hard and did a great job taking care of the whole restaurant. Onto the food. We had the table side guacamole. It was made perfect. The chips and salsa are homemade and really good as well. I got enchiladas for my meal and it had three different sauces on it. The verde was my favorite. Mole I didn't really like because it was too sweet for me. The rice and refried beans were both really good as well. The chicken in the enchiladas is diced not shredded and I prefer shredded so that would be my only complaint. read more

I've been driving past this modest-looking gem for months. NAH, said I. And that was my bad. Very bad. After all, my shelves are lined with Mexican cookbooks, Diana Kennedy is a household god, and my chili has won awards. I don't bother going to just any old roadside Mexican restaurant. Fortunately, I finally ordered from La Patrona last night and I'm blown away by the quality of the food. This is a seriously real restaurant serving surprisingly good food. And bite by bite, it gets even better than that. This first order was modest. a simple dinner for me and my bride. Carnitas Burritos for me, Carnitas Michoacanas for her. The overly generous servings of well-seasoned pork were slow-cooked, tender, and lightly charred on the edges. Sorta the way real food is supposed to be made, but rare from all but the very best restaurants. The taste was even better. There were three different and distinct salsas, from mild to bright. with a fresh pico de gallo, generous portions of well-flavored refried beans and uniquely prepare rice (made with corn and bits of unctuous veggies) and a seriously good serving of guacamole. There's obviously a real chef in the kitchen. I'm torn about posting this. I'm afraid there'll be long lines and a waiting list next time I go. This place deserves no less and I'll definitely be back, long lines or not, for the rest of the menu. Maybe I'll bump it up another star. This is, hands down, the very best Mexican restaurant I've found anywhere near here... ----- A brief update since my last visit. Because the crowds may be sparse (for reasons beyond my comprehension), it's best to ask what's freshest before ordering. Some things on the menu may be more recently prepared than others. if Pedro is your waiter ask him. He knows. He also makes the best margarita in town; ask for that, too. read more

La Patrona - he interior of the restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Brewster, New York

Whoa what a hole in a wall for sure!!! I had a shrimp taco , chorizo taco , res taco and birria taco with consome. Each were delicious and did not disappoint. The salsa , guacamole, and chips were delicious. The white sangria was tasty and more importantly they did not hold back in making it strong !!! That is rare to find a place that won't water down your alcohol beverages. I noticed they never gave salsa verde which I asked for but waiter said they don't make it there BUT they had a red sauce that was given and that sauce was just as delicious. I didn't even need the salsa verde. The waiters were attentive and made sure our table was satisfied. I also did get to go at night which I was worried it wouldn't have been quality food but nope totally impressed. Will be going back for sure!!!! read more

Food was excellent and the staff was really nice. The orange hot sauce that was served with the opening chips was outstanding. The red salsa that was also served was very flavorful. I had the Chile Relleno, (one chicken, the other cheese), the presentation beautiful. My Dad has the beef Tacos that he loved. read more

This is a total "hole in the wall" type place but definitely delicious! I had the Chile Relleno it was a huge double portion with two stuffed peppers, rice and bean with side of tortillas. My co worker had the steak Milano that was also a double portion. The chip and salsa is the best I have had outside of SoCal and very spicy if you like that! They were doing a lot of takeout orders so the dining room was not busy. I spoke with the son of the owner and he said it was his grandmother's recipe. Hmm I will be back when in the area! read more

With Mexican food starting to be as prevalent as pizza places and deli's around here, its getting harder to distinguish average, good and great! This place is easily GREAT! I make the 30 minute trek to come here (Brewster) after unexpectedly driving by about a year ago. Extremely fresh and never had a single thing I didn't at least 'like.' Continuously experiment with the menu but often revert back to their skirt/flank steak. EXCELLENT ceviche, guac, margaritas and mojitos! And their hot sauce (yellowish/green) is actually 'hot!' A little out of the way from where I come from but well worth the drive, which I do somewhat regularly! Dimly lit beautiful interior with plenty of parking. The restaurant sits by itself. Literally. read more

I'm going to be honest - I wasn't sure I would be able to trust what appears to be the singular mexican restaurant in the area...but my expectations were more than exceeded! I ordered the mole chicken which came with a heaping portion of rice, sauce, and chicken along with a side of tortillas. My fiance ordered the green chile chicken enchiladas and we were also given a few sides of sauce, salsa, and tortilla chips. The food was truly exceptional - robust flavors in the sauces, tender melt-in-your-mouth chicken, fresh tortillas. I will definitely come here again! read more

Highly recommend! Delicious guacamole appetizer made fresh table-side. You can choose what fresh ingredients they add to your guac. Enchilada dish with 3 sauces was great and chicken fajitas were excellent. Festive atmosphere and clean - fantastic and friendly service. Would definitely come back! read more

Drinks and food are on point!! Great service as well. Been to a few others in the area, but after coming here I've found my place. read more

Food was amazing! Food was authentic! Save room for the churros for dessert! Reasonably priced and we had enough to bring home for another meal. read more

This place was good. there was a birthday and they celebrated it nicely. the dessert and burrito was also great. great service also.

I came here because of the reviews on Yelp and although the food was good, I was disgusted. The bathroom had no soap or toilet paper. When I spoke to the staff, a staff member took toilet paper in but not soap. I tried to mention again the soap part and she said "the soap was lost yesterday" while walking away from me as if I was not speaking to her. Seriously??? So everyone, staff included, who used the bathroom isn't washing their hands? I will never return to this restaurant and think the Health Department should probably surprise check this place. Additionally, the waitress put a steaming hot ceramic plate in front of me that didn't look hot and didn't warn us and I burned my hand trying to move it over. read more

Food, Service , Ambiance a perfect 10!!!! Drinks were amazing!!!! Jonathan Thank you so much for your attention and amazing customer service. Like they say people always remember how you made them feel . Candi mil gracias a ti y tu calorosa sonrisa.... read more

We loved the chips and salsa. Good margarita and food was excellent. Staff were very helpful and kind. Highly recommend!!

I have driven past this neighborhood gem many times and finally decided to give it a try last night. Food was excellent. Delicious and fresh. Service was great. Menu is large so we asked our server Pedro what he recommends. Everything from the quesadillas, frajitas, and pollo diabla, was great. As were the margaritas :) Will definitely be returning again and again. read more

Very clean restaurant, prompt friendly service, food cooked to order and tasted great.

Our second order from La Patrona did not disappoint... in fact, fabulous and on point! Delivery fast ( UberEats) and everything we ordered was just as specified! I'm a (literally) PIA customer... called ahead, a thousand modifications to menu items... perfectly executed. Thank you, La Patrona!! read more

Food is great - always crowded here , I was hoping for a coupon . It's a bit pricey . I sometimes get an item off the appetizer menu and bring my own pb&j. The new menu has priced me out now . I still recommend eating here if you are affluent . It's worth it. read more

Had a Sunday night dinner at this off the beaten path authentic Mexican. Quality eats including ceviche and healthy portions of tortilla chips with tasty salsa. The tacos with freshly fried hard shells were yummy! Staff were friendly and responsive, though we we were the only diners there on this particular night ;). The only thing that holds me back from a higher rating is the seating area inside appears dated and smells musty. read more

So I got home from work late last evening with a yen for Mexican food. I googled "Mexican food near me" and discovered that there was a new restaurant on Rt. 22 called La Patrona. It's where the infamous La Frontera used to be, about half a mile south of Jaipore for those of you who know the area. So we checked out the menu and ordered take out, we were NOT disappointed. Let me start by saying that the place is not inexpensive, but the portions are very generous. The food was authentic and delicious. My kid went conventional and ordered the chimichangas. Three nice sized rolls of fried tortilla filled with beef and accompanied by rice, beans and guac. He enjoyed them. My wife ordered La Parrillada, a huge container of grilled flank steak, chicken breast and chorizo over peppers, onions and shrooms. It was delicious and she couldn't finish it. The chorizo had a nice kick. My only knock on her dish was that the flank steak was overdone, which could easily be a result of getting take out so I won't hold that against them. I ordered the Bistéc Tampiquena. It was a nice shell steak (still medium rare even after the trip home) accompanied by a cheese mole enchilada and the inevitable rice, refried beans and guac. It was delicious! The refried beans were, all joking aside, very tasty. The order came with chips and salsa. The chips were still warm, and the salsa had a nice little bite, but not over the top spicy. Anyway, it's nice to have an authentic Mexican place so close to home. I hope they succeed despite opening in the middle of a pandemic. Looking forward to sampling more of their menu, and even eating AT the restaurant when this insanity ends. read more

We ordered take out. We had Beef Burrito's. The food was very good. Ordered the soup as well. That was outstanding.

Fantastic!!! It can be difficult to find a restaurant that suits a family of vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters alike but La Patrona fills that order perfectly. The food is fresh, flavorful and beautifully prepared. The wait staff is lovely. Do not drive past this wonderful place. You will leave delighted! read more

If you are looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant try La Patrona. The key word for the food and drinks is balanced. The margaritas were delicious and didn't taste like a glass of cheap tequila. I had Enchiladas DeMola . It comprised a rich Mola sauce with all of the traditional side dishes. My wife had Pork Fajitas. The spices in the dish were flavorful. Her only complaint was the pork had too much fat for her taste. The walls are covered in interesting paintings of flora and fauna of Mexico . We will definitely return to this gem from Mexico. read more

This is the best Mexican restaurant in the area by far! Very friendly attentive staff and delicious authentic Mexican food. We went on a Thursday night at 6 and almost had the place to ourselves. Guacamole is made table side - as fresh and delicious as can be! read more
