First time coming to La Patrona and it did not disappoint. The service was excellent and we got everything we ordered quickly. We ordered the ceviche to start, and it was really good. The tamales are some of the best I’ve ever had in my life. The al pastor tacos were very tasty as well as their margaritas! Would come back here again, the food is great a the staff are very nice.

Owner is people friendly and open minded. Service and food is never disappointing. I love the La Patrona Punch made with rum. I would love to try as much on the menu as possible. Everything I had so far has been very satisfying!!

This place was amazing. The guacamole was sooo GOOD! We had chimichangas, burritos, margarita pitchers everything was so good! The fries were also good, the quesabirriawas amazing. We had a great time and it was so busy, people coming in and out, the bathroom was super clean and well catered for. They were constantly busy.

So I drove almost 2 hrs from Chicago to Freport to visit this place. So this is what happened. 4 samples of margaritas, I only liked 1. Micheladas were well prepared.

I think the

Congratulations to Gustavo and Claudia on a successful two years of business. I am hoping they have many more successful years. They have brought something to Freeport that has been missing for a very long time. Many nice restaurants have come and gone over the years without any new ones coming to life. You can tell the owners of La Patrona are dedicated to creating exceptional food and drink menus while constantly working to deliver stupendous service. The menu can be a bit intimidating at first, but the servers are going to help you understand what you want to know. Do not be afraid to take your time and ask questions. If a dish ever comes out wrong, the staff at La Patrona are going to want to fix it and ensure you receive exactly what you are expecting. To sum it all up: the decor i
