The food was SO good, especially for the price. Expected to pay around 20$ per person! The service was excellent and the decor they had in the restaurant complemented the whole service nicely. I would recommend, if you're having more than 4 people in your party definitely make a reservation!

Ordered take-out. Was quoted 15minutes for my pescado (fish tacos). Took more like 20minutes but that was okay. Staff were very nice as I just waited in the entrance area. There is a small patio and I overheard that you cannot reserve it (first come first serve) and you can only sit in groups of 2. Restaurant was 70% full Tuesday at 7PM. Tacos were super fresh. Didn't really like the corn tortilla flavor but I like they use 2 wraps per taco. Fish was a good portion but $18 for 2 tacos + tax + tip it becomes quite pricey. Had to choose between beans and rice as a side and chose beans. I really liked them, good texture, great flavor. I was happy they threw in a small hot sauce as well. Tacos themselves had a little spicy kick which was really nice. I liked the dressing and slaw mix. Overall, a decent Mexican option.

Well, this was the start of a great date night. Busy so good thing wife made a reservation! We came hungary, and left barely able to breathe! Our server was SUPER nice, and the drinks and food took us back to Mexico times. Even after all the food, we had to make room for CHURROS!! D - LICIOUS!!!!! Inside decor and music also gives it the authentic Mexican vibe. Definitely my favorite Mexican restaurant I have been to locally! I didn't really care for the Bulldog, but I don't usually like margaritas, so not sure what I was thinking. Just got caught up in the moment haha... definitly not taking a star away for that though.... give this place a try!! Make sure you make a reso or you'll be waiting!

Chicken Tacos

Holy smokes- I have to say, this is easily the best local Mexican joint in the YEG area. It doesn't look like much from the outside- when I rolled up I kind of wondered if I was in the wrong place. We had a 7:30 reservation- our table wasn't ready, we had to wait about 10 min. I wasn't too flustered though, the fact that they were packed on a Sunday night just reinforced that we were in foe a delicious evening. We started with the flauntas for an appetizer, which was delicious. Highly recommend. I had the chicken tacos. The flavours were soooo good. The tortillas were perfect. I will say the hot sauce is not hot. I like really hot sauces, so this was my only complaint- flavourful nonetheless. We finished off with churros and oh dear lord were they amazing. The only thing I will say is that our waitress, although she checked in on us sufficiently and made sure we had what we needed, I got a very unfriendly vibe from her. That said, I couldn't put my finger on what it was- maybe facial expression or tone... but not blatant enough to affect my score in any way! 5 stars! Maybe even 6! Will definitely be back again and again. Top notch Mexican experience!

Vegetable tacos

A hole in the wall for authentic Mexican food! La patrona is a Mexican restaurant located in Sherwood park. I ordered the vegetarian tacos. They had refried beans, veggies and avocado. The dish has rice on the side. The tacos were very well seasoned and portions are great. As a dessert I ordered the churros which were delicious. Overall the restaurant is great. The only only thing would be to have more clear vegetarian options.

Quesadillas Doradas
Abby S.

The food is good quality and massive fair portions. The service was efficient, available and nice. The environment was busy, lively and filled with happy smiley customers. Highly recommend this amazing place!!!!

Guacamole, pico de gallo, tostados
Janis M.

Friendly service, a little slow but table for 14 came shortly after us. Excellent guacamole and pico de gallo. Tostados were crisp and light. I had pastor tacos w refried beans. Hubby had quesadilla special (2 chorizo, 2 beef). Really excellent. Middle of the day so we didn't have drinks but the list is extensive and looks great. Desserts look tempting but our entrees were filling. Definitely a place to try when hankering for authentic Mexican. Chef is from Mexico City. 1 app and 2 mains w 20% tip, $86.

The menu @ La Patrona

Heard about La Patrona from a coworker of mine. I can't believe I didn't find out about this place sooner because IT'S FREAKING AWESOME. The food is top notch - good portion sizes and it tastes amazing! The horchata? Made in house, and you can totally taste the difference; no chalkiness to it whatsoever. I'd buy it by the jug if I could. They do, however, sell their sauces by the bottle. We were there on a Wednesday, which was tamales night, available in house or you can take some frozen ones home. (tamales got the two thumbs up from my husband) Nice, efficient service. The servers are Spanish speaking, which I feel lends to the authenticity of the restaurant. I would most definitely come here again, even just for the horchata. Ample free parking. Free wifi available.

I was in the Sherwood park area and found this place on google with high reviews. My partner and I were able to get a seat at their community table (a long table where you share with other customers) without any reservations. We tried the Asada Torta with fried egg and the Suadero Taco. Both were delicious!! The meat was juicy and flavourful. The sauces complemented the food. The portions were filling and reasonable for the price. It's definitely ranks high among the Mexican restaurants in the city. The only problem with my experience was the long wait time. We probably waited 30-40 minutes for the food. The server apologized to us for the long wait time and said it isn't usually like this. I hope she's right because I do intend to come back in the future.

Tortilla soup
Michelle M.

My first time here. I love the ambiance of this place. Great music and it smells delicious. Ordered a Paloma. It was the best one I've ever had. Next time a spicy margarita. Had their chips, salsa and guacamole. I tried the tortilla soup, I found it too spicy for my taste, with all that said I will definitely go back and try some of the other amazing food. Then to end our dinner we got their churros. I love that they are served hot with a chocolate mousse. Perfect way to end the meal.

Came with a healthy helping of hype to this spot. Had to pick up a reservation, not a problem at all. Fail to plan as they say. Food took a while to come out but should be expected around five o'clock on a Saturday so with that in mind, make sure to give a drink or two a go. Our server mentioned the feature cocktail enough to pique the interest of the whole table. If you're driving or simply don't partake settle into good conversation with your dining mates, because it's as cozy as can be. Location is charmingly small but adds quality intimacy, it's a tad dark and so are the menus so don't fear your flashlight if you forgo the QR code menu option. If you look to the right of the bar you can glimpse the inner workings of the kitchen, they do well to hide their secrets despite the view. In short, try it before everyone else does. They're doing big things in a small space.

Taco Platter
Teresa S.

Really enjoy this restaurant. The food is absolutely solid. We didn't realized on Tuesdays that they have a taco platter for $44 which allows you to pick 3 different kinds of tacos. Great way to try a few kinds for a great price. We enjoyed the chorizo, al pastor and shrimp. The shrimp is breaded just so you are aware. We picked it because we wanted lighter option but it ended up being the heaviest! Not a complaint, just an observation. We added cheese but I don't think the al pastor or shrimp needed it as they were delightful on their own! Chorizo and cheese were a match made in heaven. We had the fresh chips, salsa and guacamole to start. It made me feel like I was taken away to Mexico. Delightful flavours. We sat in the patio and it was quiet and lovely. The inside is so fun and has a very cool vibe. Service was friendly and prompt. Food came out very quick in our opinion. Will be back.

Chicken and Chorizo Empanadas
Garrett M.

This place by far has the best tacos in Sherwood Park and in my opinion second best tacos in all of Edmonton. Today they were advertising their empanada Thursday special so we decided to try for lunch, we were not disappointed. We ordered two empanadas each and got free churros for dessert, it was more than enough food for the two of us. The service is always amazing, the people working are super friendly and super helpful.

So the Ambiance isn't the best here, it looks a little fast foodish with little colour which is…read moresomething I admire in Latino establishments. However, it makes up for it in the food and service. By far one of the best Latino eateries in the Edmonton area (Luna is another favourite). A really great diverse menu and you can find something for everyone. Also a great place for beer, Mexican soda, and cocktails. We started out with Papa al Ajilo - Creamy potatoes sautéed in tasty garlic and guajillo peppers, seasoned with a mixture of Mexican spices, served with Chipotle sauce. These were good. The potatoes were well cooked, although I could have used more peppers in there to me it wasn't spicy enough. However, the chipotle sauce was lovely. I went with the Haurache -Handmade with corn flour and stuffed with refried beans topped the meat of your choice, fresh lettuce, sour cream, onions, feta cheese and avocado sauce. I asked the server to surprise me with the meat. I should have asked her what she ordered for me, but it was delicous and had pineapple with it, so I am assuming pork? Anyway this was the first time with me trying a huarache and it was so freaking delish that I will order this every time I go. My husband ordered the Tacos de Bistec - Three corn tortillas with grilled beef steak, topped with diced onion and fresh cilantro. These were also good but for sure the Huarache wone out. Service even though it was extremely busy was attentive. Honestly what a gem!

Not sure what to say but everything about this place is awesome…read more Killer food, incredibly nice staff
