Birria Breakfast Burrito

I was stressed when I first walked up. There are so many great breakfast options, I wanted to order one of each. My heart chose the Birria Breakfast burrito with quac, pickled onions, red salsa and green salsa - yes you need to get both salsas, both are bomb. It was easy to order on their little kiosk and didn't have to wait long Yummy yum yum

Birria fries

ONE OF THE BEST FOOD TRUCKS My husband and I ordered the birria fires and birria nachos. It's honestly the best we ever had! The ordering process was easy. You just order on the device at the window. The service was also quick and friendly. The ambiance was great. The truck was parked in front of Camino Coffee in Gilroy. There was plenty of seating and shade. We will definitely be back again!

Decided to give this place a shot after a few hours of working from inside Camino Coffee and WOWWWW. I was honestly blown away. I ordered the quesabirria quesadilla and they also generously gave me a taco to sample as well. I took ONE bite and texted everyone I know in Gilroy to come check this spot out. Loving the food trucks that have made their way to town and La Patrona is now very high on my list. Thanks La Patrona!

Birria fries

This food truck slaps. The Birria tastes fantastic. I loved the quesibirria pizza. Was a good price to feed a few friends! The staff was really friendly and helpful with questions too! Do yourself a favor and hit up the best Birria spot in Southbay!

We caught the food truck when it stopped by our apartment complex! We were interested by the horchata special but just ended up getting 3 quesabirria tacos to share. They make their birria with beef and it's slow cooked and then cheese added to form a taco. The meat is super tender and flavorful and I love the crunch of the tortillas. We were a bit disappointed that it didn't come with consommé but the salsa verde was pretty good and had a nice kick to it.

BEST FOOD TRUCK IN THE GILROY/MORGAN HILL AREA Everything is perfectly authentic and delicious here. Both quality and presentation are top notch. My favorite is the avocado toast with egg on top :) Not to mention, great and quick service as well. Kevin and Brandon are awesome Can't express how badly I recommend!

Cucumber juice... so delicious
Barbara R.

We just flew in to San Francisco from Georgia, going to SLO. Passing through Gilroy, I looked on yelp for some good Mexican food, and La Patrona popped up with a high rating. We stopped and had their cucumber juice, and I forgot the name of this taco with steak, cactus, rice, beans salsa.. OMG!!! Delicious they also let us try a free biria taco, had to get another one!!! Their food is the best I have taste in a good while. The customer service was A+. If you're in Gilroy or near Gilroy it's a MUST you stop. They close at 3:00 so get there early!! They won't disappoint.

Truck

Stumbled across this truck after dinner and on the way to get some boba. It was located outside Taplands bar in Santa Clara on a Friday. We tried one quesabirria taco and birria fries, both were delicious. I do wish the taco was crunchy, but that's just a personal preference. The fries were fried well, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The menu is digital with QR code, would love to try more items next time on an empty stomach. Service was good and food was cooked to order, would recommend!

We absolutely loved the Birra Grilled Cheese, hardy, enough to spilt. The person taking our order was very friendly!

Excellent flavor for the Huarache. Flavorful salsas. I had to order food to take home on my way back to the East Bay.

The sushi was okay, and we also enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa. They have a great selection of seafood dishes, so there are plenty of options to try. Service was okay, and the live music created a fun atmosphere, although it was extremely loud and made conversation difficult. Overall, we enjoyed the food and will definitely return for the ceviche and to explore more of the seafood menu.

For me, I am not a huge seafood lover- unless I am in Monterey or San Francisco. The vibe of this restaurant is pretty interesting. Think Dia de Los Muertos in a discoteca. I think this place better serves as somewhere to get drunk which makes the food seem better. The food is not bad , just doesn't stand out from anywhere else. On my visit, I opted for the chile verde with their handmade corn tortillas. The chile was spicy enough for me and the tortillas were fantastic. Shout out to the tortilla lady preparing those fresh all day! The refried beans were really runny- I should have asked if they offered whole pinto beans as an option. Service was pretty good, although I wasn't quite sure who our server was . We had multiple people come to our table during our visit. I think this restaurant is fun and interesting with solid food options. Would I be back? Yes, if I want to drink, listen to loud music and eat some damn good tortillas!

Good service and good food! You place your order at the counter and find a seat and wait for your…read morenumber to be called. We ordered a few tacos, a corn tamale(an uchepo), and a kids taco plate. The tacos are loaded with a ton of meat and the tortillas are delicious. I tried the carne asada and loved the taste. Many restaurants have soggy carne asada from cooking in large batches. Not the case here. The rice and beans were just okay in my opinion, and I could have passed. The corn tamale flavor was nice but a little on the dense side. This is a no frills place. However I did not question the cleanliness at all. There were plenty of workers cleaning/wiping down tables. The salsa bar was clean and the open view of the kitchen appeared clean as well. Tacos are a little pricey, about $5 each, however they are quite large.

Wow! So delicious. Got the super nachos and the street tacos, loved both. The meat was really tasty…read moreand not super oily like some can be. Loved the addition of cotija cheese on the nachos and the portion was huge, which I appreciated since they were not cheap. At the salsa bar they have 4 spicy options (2 green, 2 red), a pick de gallo with jalapeños, onion/cilantro, cucumbers, and cut limes. Chips are sold separately. They have inside seating and outside too. Some picnic tables by the road with a good amount of shade. If you're looking for delicious Mexican food in Gilroy, congratulations you've found it!

Served in a soft corn tortilla with cabbage, tomato's, pico and green sauce on the side. Super yummy. The salmon/lemon roll was excellent. No skimping on the fish. Rolled well. Came with a roasted pepper which was an excellent touch. Sides of chipotle, and soy sauce. Super yummy lunch. The service was quick. My order was ready when I arrived and the person who greeted me had a huge smile. The music was super loud but there wasn't anyone in the restaurant at that point so I'm sure it was to keep the vibe good with the employees. All in all a good experience

There's a sign that says "Wait to be seated", but no one came out to seat us and a group of people walked past us to go inside, were sat right away. A girl who sat us ended up being our server but took a very long time for her to come back out to even take our drink orders. I had to ask the guy bringing water and tortilla chips who our server was. Once our server arrived she was very nice and answered our menu questions. I ordered the the spicy Mamacita and my friend ordered the pina colada. Both drinks looked cool but mine was very sweet, not really spicy at all and was tiny for $15. I think I mostly paid for the presentation part...flower, popsicle, etc. We both ordered the 3 taco trio and the food came out before long. I had a mahi mahi, carne asada and a taco macho. Again, the food wasn't that great: rice and beans had an off flavor, octopus was chewy in the taco macho, and the mahi was a bit fishy. We took half our food to go and checked out. All in all I would not come back unless it was out of convenience due to the location. The food and drinks have a nice presentation, but the taste of everything wasn't there for me. Although our server was really nice and my friend and I were busy chatting, the service was slow.
