The restaurant is next to a convenience store and it is pretty large with plenty of seating. They do to go orders as well. I ordered the grilled chicken and a chicharron taco.

The daughter was our cashier and she was very knowledgeable on the menu and answering all of our questions. The menu definitely needs an update.

Don't be like me and order there, you'll end up waiting 30mins on a busy night...watching everyone else pick-up their delicious smelling bags of food. Steak, chicken, Barbacoa, and potato tacos. Steak burrito. Extra hot sauce. Horchata. Filling is abundant, tacos are pre-sauced, limes on the side, good prices for the quality and quantity of the food. Great location with decent parking availability as well. Super cozy under the oak tree. I absolutely housed the tacos. They were really good, not typical flavors in my opinion. Maybe like a different regional flavor of the standard al pastor and carnitas that we're used to but really really good. I used to live in LA and these would almost be better than the ones at my LA spot...if Francisco's made their own fresh tortillas. Don't let the tacos sit for long, they get soggy and the tortillas will tear. My new favorite, go-to spot. So sorry to fiesta Mexico in Apopka.

We brought our family friends here for a Taco Tuesday-style dinner, and La Patrona absolutely delivered. Being the closest spot to where they were staying made it convenient, but the food made it unforgettable. The dishes were incredible -- packed with flavor, generous portions, and that authentic birria experience we were craving. La Patrona didn't just meet our expectations, it blew them out of the water. If you're in the Orlando area and looking for tacos that hit different, this is your spot. Highly recommend to anyone who loves bold, delicious Mexican food.

He also offered us samples of their shredded chicken, a definite plus . I decided on getting the beef tacos American style with Mexican rice, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese and in house made hot sauce. Delicious! The interior decor is simple and clean with a hand painted accent wall. The flavors packed a punch, which means we will be back again soon. Thanks for a great lunch, and at $10 for 3 tacos it won't make you feel like you got robbed.

As you can see from my photos, I've tried a few of the different foods from the menu, and all have been pretty tasty. I especially like the American tacos. Which is weird to say since I'm from California and usually prefer street tacos lol. I had the horchata for the first time yesterday, and it was TO DIE FOR! The only problem was that it was the largest drink I've ever had, so I was unable to finish it. Every time I've gone inside to pick up my order, the cashier and server have been polite, attentive, and ready to help. The restaurant has traditional decor, and you truly feel comfortable coming in. I'll continue to come here as long as I'm around!

Santa Rosa has quickly become one of my favorite local Mexican restaurants…read more The food is always good. The service is also exceptional. Even on a busy day like Cinco de Mayo, the staff really held their own and remained friendly and attentive. The overall vibe is usually a bit more chill but on holidays it does get lively. In fact, Cinco de Mayo was one of the busiest and most lively I've seen the restaurant. Even with all the extra foot traffic, quality service was still upheld. I finally ventured out and tried their hard shell tacos (with beef). They were a little on the plain side but for $9.00, 3 hard shell beef tacos did what they needed to do. With some cilantro, queso and salsa, the tacos were brought to life. As always, the margaritas were great! I usually only need one - so that's always a good sign. Price points are incredible. I really cannot rave more about how affordable this local spot is. I'll continue to visit and try more of their menu. They got a long term fan out of me!

We were craving Mexican food and decided to try this independent local place. The servers were…read morefriendly and helpful. The complimentary chips and salsa were fresh and tasty. The house margaritas were too sweet for my taste. I was excited for the birria tacos after the rave reviews but the beef was dry. Same with the chicken in our other dishes. And everything seemed a bit bland. Weirdly, the next days leftovers tasted better. I want to give this restaurant one more shot. I'll ask for my margarita to be less sweet, and I'll go later in the evening to see if the meats are fresher cooked and more juicy and tender.

If you're driving too fast on the 436, you will easily pass it. It's tucked back off the road, look for their blue sign or the inflatable tube man (that is usually waving its arms in the wind). Service is excellent, super friendly and welcoming. The spot is always very clean and inviting. Traditional Mexican music videos playing on a few tv screens, nothing too distracting...adds to the ambiance. We've tried quite a few dishes here and have never been disappointed: chicken enchiladas with house "special sauce", shrimp and mushroom enchiladas, the chicken tortilla soup is really flavorful and LARGE, grande burrito, chimichanga, and we always order guacamole. They never have a lot of customers (I would assume because of the set back location), I hate sharing one of my local favs but, I definitely want them to stay in business!

We were greeted right upon entry and there was plenty of seating around. They have a diverse menu with plenty of options for people who both enjoy spicy food and non-spicy food.

They do have some very colorful decor around as well. Staff was friendly throughout. I opted for the burrito and it was ginormous and I definitely couldn't finish all of it. Definitely well worth the price point for the amount of food that you're given. Everybody was very happy with their meals and drinks and I'll definitely be returning to this location. Overall: A+ Easy to see why this is a local favorite. Definitely will be back for more off of the menu!

It is always busy after work because the place is that good. On our recent visit we ordered a beef dip to have with the chips and salsa. They also have a tasty guacamole on the menu. For drinks we've gotten the pitcher of margaritas our last two visits and it really is the perfect amount for 2 or 3 people. Each person gets at least 2 glasses full which is a great value for the price. Things we like: Pastor Tacos, Nortenos Tacos, Tacos Gringos, queso dip, and the rice and beans with the main dish. Service is always wonderful, the staff is attentive and helpful if you want recommendations. If the dining room looks full, try sitting at the bar and you'll be right at home.

Wow, fantastic dinner! I've been seeking the best Birria tacos for over a year since my grandson…read moreturned me on to them. I have good and not so good in hunt. The grandson recommended Queso Loco so we tried it. Definitely not disappointed. There were three main birria options, the birria quesadillas, birria tacos, and quesabirria tacos. I had the quesobirria tacos and the wife had the Barria quesadillas. Both were spot on delicious. I enjoyed the taco version better because they were like tiny quesadillas that were crispy all over. The consommé was flavorful and not at all greasy. The wife refuses to dip her food into a broth and make it mushy, but she tried it and was enjoying that consommé on the remaining bites. The service was fast and friendly. It started to get crowded but we never felt rushed. The place is decorated well with vibrant Hispanic motive. I can't forget the chicken quesadilla that the daughter had. She said it was also full of chicken, cheese, and goodness. We live nearby so Queso Loco will be our go to spot.

Got the Chios & Queso. That queso was really good. I haven't tried it before. So creamy and the bacon in it adds a good touch. I got the Quesadilla with Chorizo. Wow... that chorizo is soooo good. It was crumbled chorizo and it was a little crispy from being cooked on the flat top. I love that crispyness to it, just like on a good corned beef hash. The quesadilla was packed with meats, veggies and cheese. I wish I got a picture of the cheese being gooey when I pulled it apart. My husband got the nachos with chicken. The fresh sliced jalapeño's were not spicy (after we took the seeds out) and it was packed with flavor. The nachos were layer... which is the ONLY way to enjoy nachos. 10/10 he would get them again he said. Overall, great food experience. Can't wait to indulge again.
