Drove out from Rockford to try out La Patrona's food. Every dish brought to the table was excellent. Well worth the trip. We asked La Patrona to open a restaurant in Rockford.

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.
