I took my grandma and grandpa here on Friday, and this place exceeded my expectations. My grandma…read morereally enjoyed her tacos, and my grandpa liked his food too--although he thought the salsa was a little too spicy (I personally loved the kick). The tortillas were amazing--soft, fluffy, and delicious. My molcajete had great flavor as well. My only personal preference was that the steak was cooked more well-done than I typically like, which made it a little dry for me. I understand that may be how many customers prefer it, but it could be nice to give guests the option on how they'd like their steak cooked. The beans were creamy, the rice had great flavor, and overall everything tasted fresh and well made. It does get busy, so parking can be a little difficult, and it can get pretty loud inside during peak hours--but that's also a sign that people clearly enjoy this place. Overall, delicious food and I definitely want to come back to try more items on the menu.

I was confused when ordering online because I felt as I might over order since everything they sell is by the pound. When we walked in there was only one other table that was finishing up. the staff were welcoming and nice , we were helped with right away too. The food was amazing I literally have been telling everyone about this place now and tell them to forget Bag O Crab this place is better and for the price too it's worth it specially if you like sea food boil this place is amazing and I made the mistake of putting light cajon seasoning because it was sooo good and perfect spice too. Plan on doing another take out order on Valentine's Day! I can't wait to eat your food again ;)

But refusing to give gloves because it's a to go order is just bad customer service. Is this place hurting so bad you can't give up 2 gloves? Oh and to top it off I asked one of the employees for gloves and she grabbed them as soon as she told me no like she thought I was going to take some I guess? Yes although they were right in front of me I didn't just take them I asked. I can afford to buy food here believe me I'm not trying to steal some gloves. Just bad experience overall. Guess my scrubs made me look like a thief.

I lived in the Bay Area for several years, and this is honestly the closest you'll get in flavor. There is usually a wait, but that's the same experience at Boiling Crab.

We visited Patria in to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday, and it was a hit for all of us. We…read moremade reservations ahead of time and were seated promptly. The restaurant has a great drink selection and a great menu. We were pleasantly surprised to learn they offer a Tuesday dinner special that includes an appetizer, entrée, and dessert for only $32! This menu also had a special drink selection. I ordered the house salad, prawn risotto, and chocolate lava cake. The salad was very fresh with spring mix and butter lettuce, which I especially enjoy, and it was topped with a light vinaigrette style house dressing that was light and delicious. The prawn risotto was creamy, flavorful, and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. The chocolate lava cake was rich and very chocolatey, a bit too rich for my personal taste, but still enjoyable. It also came with vanilla gelato, which was delicious. As a table, we also ordered the tableside tiramisu, which was such a fun and unique experience. I am a tiramisu connoisseur, so anytime I see it on the menu, I ordered it. It is my favorite dessert. Although this was not my favorite one, I very much enjoyed the experience. I will mention the espresso needs a little more time to fully soak into the ladyfingers, but the presentation and experience alone made it worth trying. The ambiance was lovely with nice background music, and the service was attentive and welcoming. Everyone in our party truly enjoyed their meal, especially the birthday girl. Overall, Patria is a fantastic dinner spot in Salinas, and I would absolutely return and highly recommend it.

I'm glad to report that last night had some music in the bar, it was soft and sounded like Italian folk (Frank Sinatra would've been nice too) but it was perfectly fine because it broke up the atmosphere in a positive way. Calamari appetizer was great and my pork chop was too. Service was equally great as it was prompt and accompanied. I'll be back soon, so if you haven't tried Patria yet, you should.

OKAYYYY but why was this place SO GOOD ‍‍ Honestly, thee…read morebest food everrrrr. Mojarras already have my heart, so I ordered the Mojarra al Ajo + a ceviche tostada (which was BOMB btw). First of all... they do NOT play with the . Lemon lovers, you're safe here. Now the tostada??? You literally need ONE. That's it. One and done. You could share it... but let's be real The flavor was STRAIGHT . The mojarra gets a 4.5/5 from me -- only because I personally like it extraaaa garlicky. BUT the amount of meat on that fish was WILD. Like... not playing around. Freaken GOOD. And they hook it up with tortillas, rice, beans, and salad. I usually ignore sides at other places because they're mid, but here?? I ATE EVERYTHING AND THEN -- plot twist -- it was karaoke day and even the employees were singing. The vibes were immaculate. Food + fun + good energy all in one. This little hole-in-the-wall really takes care of you. Great food, big portions, fun atmosphere. 10/10 will absolutely be back
