This restaurant was empty when we arrived but it was surprisingly good. I liked the food and the service, the restaurant was quiet. Food came out quickly, and it was hot. The molcajete Guadalajara was super hot and delicious. Tortillas are handmade. Frijoles charros were so good, one of the best I have tried.

Came to visit Brownsville all the way from San Antonio. My husband and I searched for a restaurant that wasn't so greasy nor make us feel bloated. Fortunately, one of the restaurants that popped up was La Patrona. The restaurant was beautiful and had a wonderful vibe. The nice tables and chairs were comfortable. The colors and decorations gave the relaxing feel. Our server was very polite and helpful as well as very responsive. The food, I'm normally a salmon person, but something told me to get the tacos. I ordered the Sirloin tacos, and my husband ordered the fajita tacos with the cucumber water. They served us a cup of their caldo, which was flavorfuI. Then the tacos came. 4 tacos to a plate. Served with avocado, onion, sautéed onion, cilantro, and salsa. The cilantro and onion served over marrow on the bone. I loved everything all the way around. I wish I took more pictures. This will be my go too spot when I visit Brownsville. I hope they expand to San Antonio someday. Also, don't forget to check out their Corn husk wings! So picture worthy!

Very slow service… i know its a new business but we waited over an hr for flour tortilla with egg Lots of people look upset- only 2 waitresses and one comes out once in a while the other one is in the kitchen never came out. One party of 3 walked out after waiting over 30 min. A large table took super long to get their food and everyone got it 10-15 min apart.. some people have very limited time for lunch so need to be prepared and quick. Also I ordered molletes and no salsa- asked for some and she never brought it.. lots of people coming in and most will not return. Wish them the best but they need more staff.

Found La Patrona Steak House in a Google search. We were greeted at the door by the waitress. The menu has many options to choose from. Not your typical tex-mex restaurant. Definitely go try La Patrona Steak House for yourself. Their corn tortillas are hand made and delicious. While we waited for our order, we were treated with a bowl of fresh seasonal fruit. Will definitely be back.

We went for a birthday party. It was a bad experience although we spent a lot of money. We had reserved a table a week prior to the birthday. When we got there the owner had given our table away to someone else. The meat in the tampiquena plate was burnt. The meat on several of the plates we ordered was burnt. Will not return to this restaurant.

Service was slow, and the food was ok. I had it for lunch. Maybe breakfast is better. In addition, this Mexican place has pasta on the menu, and it was horrible. Some places can pulpit off notbthis one.

Love the fresh made corn tortillas. The fajitas are tender and tasty. My wife loves the sopa given as an appetizer.
