“ Fantabulous food. If you think this is another cheap, rice, beans, and 50 different tortillas kind of restaurant you will be wrong. Each dish is thoughtfully crafted and so very good. Had to go 2 weeks in a row. Family friendly. Definitely my new favorite Mexican restaurant. ”
“ So glad they chose to add this location in Grassfield. If you live in Grassfield you know there are not that many choices to eat out, this is a great addition to our neighborhood. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful and well thought out. The menu is the same great menu as their other locations. I used to drive 20-30mins to eat at this chain, rather than the ones closer to home, just for their authentic mexican dishes (yes the food is that good). The service here is top notch and the food is even better. They have only been open a week and I have already dined in or out 5 times, every single time the food was fresh and very flavorful. The create your own combo is very reasonably priced and that is my go to meal. In fact the whole menu is reasonably priced and I can see them really cornering the market with Mexican food in Grassfield. Please be patient as they are still training new staff and getting their feet wet here at this new location. Welcome to the neighborhood, I hope Grassfield treats you all well! ”
“ This restaurant has the most attentive staff, colorful decorations, and the best Mexican food! I had the birria bombs, a mango daiquiri and churros with ice cream for dessert! The vibes were awesome. Definitely recommend coming here. You can tell the cooks make these meals with love and rich flavor. ”
“ My husband and I came for dinner last night after my pickleball friends were raving about it. First off, the restaurant is gorgeous inside. It’s wild that it’s in Great Bridge. It’s one of the only Mexican places (that I’m aware of) that has an outdoor patio space. I ordered a cucumber jalapeño margarita along with two street asada tacos. The green sauce that came with the tacos (had a jalapeño kick) was fantastic. I’m clearly still thinking about it. Can’t wait to go back again, bring friends and enjoy a marg on the outdoor patio! Thank you for being a great addition to Chesapeake! ”
“ Everything was top notch. The food was great and definitely fresh ! Our waiter, Jose was outstanding and friendly. Highly recommend! We will definitely be back. ”
“ Great looking place. Food is good but pricey. I loved the Burrito Loco I had twice. Second time was a little salty. Service needs to be worked on especially at the bar. The bartenders disappear and I notice employees eat at the bar which is a no no to me. There is an event room in the back and if not being used is where employees should eat. Otherwise they tend to congregate at a table which doesnt look good either. The food does take longer than expected. Everyone is nice though and still trying to find their way which is normal for a new place but I can see this place getting crowded and them being overwhelmed. I live around the corner in an adult community with 500 homes. We could give this place huge business if the service gets on track. ”
“ The new Taqueria La Patrona location is awesome! They’ve created a cool, open space that feels modern but still keeps that authentic Mexican vibe. The staff is always friendly and welcoming — I even recognized a few familiar faces from the first spot, which made it feel even more like home. The food? Still just as incredible! I had tripas, lengua, and al pastor tacos, and every single one was packed with flavor. The hand-pressed tortilla option is a must, and the frijoles de la olla were absolutely perfect. Plus, the aguas frescas are the best way to cool off — fresh and super refreshing. I'm so excited to have a new spot to hang out and eat some of the best tacos around. Definitely planning on coming back again (and again)! ”
“ Just went and checked this place out finally! We will be back for sure! The food/drinks are pricey but it was delicious. It’s got an upscale feeling with the cool decor inside. We had a California burrito and nachos. Both were delivered to the table rather quickly. Service was great and the tall manager was actively engaging with guests and making sure everything was running smoothly which I appreciated. This is a great addition to the Grassfield area!! ”
