This place has the most amazing Mexican food in all of northern Illinois outside of Chicago! The…read moreselection was extensive. I got one of the molcajete bowls with seafood. My son got one with a variety of meats. Our wives got pozole. We LOVED the food! Generous potions of really hot (temperature) food. Perfectly cooked. The service was good. The ambiance was nice. Very clean, including the bathroom. It was elegantly decorated with a Mexican flare to it. I've not had Mexican food the good anywhere nearby. You'd have to go as far as Chicago to find another Mexican restaurant this good. Well done La Patrona!

La Patrona is a fantastic restaurant in Freeport. The staff is always friendly and attentive. The…read morefood is absolutely fantastic. Prior to moving out of Freeport I used to eat there on a regular basis. Everything we ordered was always delicious. We would take out of town family there as well as our kids. It's my opinion that La Patrona is the best Mexican Restaurant in Freeport. A couple of shout outs off the menu. The Queso Fundido is a must. It's absolutely delicious and has resulted in playful table fighting over whom gets the last of it. It comes with tortillas, but we like to dip chips in it. My favorite meal is the Enchiladas Suizas. They're so delicious with a great sauce and the beef and chicken was always flavorful. My lady's favorite is the Pollo Loco. She likes it so much that if I had to order for her, I know that I can get this and not have to worry that she won't love it. It's a total win. The only issue I have with El Patrona is that it can get very loud, and it makes it hard to have a conversation with others at your table. Other than that, it's a great restaurant with amazing food. Definitely worth eating at.

We had a…read morebig group of about 9 people and were able to seat us in a few minutes after putting a few tables together. Service was great. You can practice Spanish if you'd like and the servers are very helpful and are well spoken. Decorations were very on point, colorful, and festive. I had a hard time picking out what to try so I had the server help me out. I tried the Corralejo plate that came with chicken steak and shrimp on a bed of stir fried veggies and Spanish rice. It was so good and had a generous portion. They were also generous with their chips and salsa. Margaritas were huge. My friend tried it and did get a bit tipsy from it. I'd say best horchata in Wisconsin! Not too sweet, not too creamy or milky. It was the right combo of ingredients. Would definitely come back!!!

Taqueria Los 3 Molcajetes is among the most authentic you can get around here. A limited menu but everything is good. The prices are cheap thankfully. Found out where this place was after seeing it on the map and looking for it. It's actually located in the Petro Shopping Center along with a few other restaurants. This is barely more than a counter and a few tables. A few things made to order. There's others that are premade. It's $3 for mango pineapple juice. There's fruit pieces in it too. A lot of authentic flavors. It's $3 to get a taco. We got the Cactus and the Potato Tacos. Lots of spiciness after putting the hot sauce on. The potatoes were the better ones and we got more stuff. Got to check this out if traveling through here. It's closed Mondays. They have options for vegetarians.
