From the outside, Las Patronas Mexican Restaurant looks like a very small establishment, but when you go in, the restaurant is pretty spacious and it is beautifully decorated. I went on a Tuesday night so it was packed as it was Taco Tuesday and they have $1 tacos, because of that, when I came in the restaurant, I felt like I was not totally acknowledged and did not know what to do. I waited a few minutes and decided to go to the cash register at the bar. I still had to wait to be acknowledge, but when the server came to take my order, she was very polite and helpful. I placed my order and it came out quickly and on my way home I went. The tacos are small but pretty full. I had three small tacos and a sour cream salad and that was enough for me. My apologies but I was starving and forgot to take pictures of my food. read more

Las Patronas is a literal hole in the wall. It's smack in the middle of a small L-shaped plaza and its tiny storefront can easily be overlooked but please don't sleep on this fantastic Mexican restaurant. The interior is magic with vibrant decor and the menu is full of variety. We plan to return and try new menu items each time but everything we ordered today was delicious and the service was exceptional. This establishment has indoor seating along with carryout options. It's tucked into the joint of an L-shaped plaza and has a shared parking lot. It's at the intersection of Dean and University on the same side as Discount auto parts (on the opposite side of University from the Publix and DMV). read more

Las Patronas Mexican Restaurant - $1 taco Tuesday - Mexican Near Me - Orlando, Florida

The staff was very friendly and welcoming! The menu is pretty straight forward. I thought it was going to be slammed because it was Taco Tuesday, but it wasn't bad. I ordered a taco salad bowl and it was smaller than I expected, but I really didn't need leftovers anyways. The venue is pretty small, but they were able to accommodate our party of 13. read more

Las Patronas Mexican Restaurant has recently opened in an older and somewhat decrepit shopping plaza on the corner of University Boulevard and Dean Road. Walking in, the place does have an overall pleasant vibe and we were seated pretty quickly. We went over the menu and I ended up going with the birria tacos. I also had a chorizo taco. They also brought us chips and salsa. My birria tacos were pretty good and most of my party thought that the food was decent to good. The menu was a bit weak and the service, sadly, was not the best. In fact, it was pretty abysmal. She was not rude or anything, but she was unattentive and seemed rather distracted. She also made an error and overcharged us and kind of was not letting it go. We had four adults and one child and she was trying to charge us for five adult soft drinks and a children's juice. I tried to tell her that she overcharged us and she was refusing to accept it. She finally relented, but still it should have been easier. All in all, it is a newer restaurant and I hope that they work out the kinks. With the bad service, I will give it four stars. read more

Taste: 5/5 Value: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Las Patronas is a hidden gem. The restaurant is small but vibrant, giving you a lively setting to enjoy your meal. Great place to check out if you're looking for some authentic Mexican food and a colorful atmosphere. Everything was delicious and very good portion sizes. Free chips and salsa were a nice touch that we fully enjoyed. Our server was very friendly and got our food out quickly, even though we came during the dinner rush. Overall, great spot to check out and enjoy a tasty meal. Warning: The server did tell us beforehand, but be warned that there is a 3% charge if you decide to pay by card. read more

We were in the area early to celebrate the life of a close friend. This place was suggested by Yelp so we ventured in. Initially it was hard to locate. There is a number of construction projects occurring. We were told that this is a new restaurant as they were previously known as a food truck. The food was fantastic. I ordered the Biarra Tacos Excellent flavor . read more

3-3.5/5 Little Mexican restaurant in the old Naroodle spot. Loved the decor inside it gave the cozy vibe of sitting outside a cafe in Mexico. The lady who I presume is the owner was so friendly and nice. We came for Taco Tuesday where they had tacos for $1. It seems like they change the selection and today's was ground beef and pulled chicken. We ordered ground beef tacos, birria tacos ($3) and elote. The ground beef was quite good and tender although the tortilla broke on me twice. The birria was pretty good but could use a bit more sauce. The elote was yummy and creamy ($5.99). The tacos are a bit small but for a $1 it's definitely not a bad price. Tacos are yummy and cheap and the staff is nice. Noticed that we didn't get chips and salsa like other tables but I think it might be because we didn't get entrees. Nothing super special but for that price and the ambiance, would def come again next Taco Tuesday. read more

Their $1 taco special is fabulous. I would highly suggest visiting on Tuesdays to try their tacos. The service was great. Go early to get a table. They fill up fast. read more

Came to this place because we were craving "Mexican" food and read the good reviews. We ordered the following: Enchiladas with pulled beef: Nothing extraordinary. Flautas: Nothing extraordinary. Chorizo Chicken: It was ok. Tasteless rice. We ordered the Michelada after one sip we asked the server we wanted something else so we ordered a sprite. Even though, we had one sip and the michelada was returned; we still were charged for the michelada. When asked the server why we were being charged, she said "you ordered it" (in a not friendly way). This was the first time that we order a drink that we don't like and we still get charged, event though, we had one sip. **Be mindful you'll be charged about $2 fee for using your credit card. We will not be coming back. read more

Las Patronas Mexican Restaurant - One cochinita pibil taco, carnitas and steak. Horchata water - Mexican Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Located at the corner of University and Dean, this charming spot is tucked away. Walking in there was music playing and I loved the bright colors inside. Our servers were friendly and welcoming. We went on Taco Tuesday where they have 4 options for $1 tacos! I tried both pork options (carnitas and cochinita). Both were amazing! The cochinita was marinated in orange juice (I'm not the biggest fan of orange juice) but the flavors were delicious! I also ordered the house margarita which was purple! I tried the supreme nachos and the guacamole and everything was amazing! I can't wait to go back! read more

Prett horrible all around. The food wasn't good. Very oily. The burrito was absolute nasty with the sauces. Hardly anything in it. The server was never around the manager was nice and tried. They charge for chips never a good indication. It smelt bad too. read more

PSA...Take cash or be charged an extra 3% for using a DEBIT CARD!!! We've been on the hunt (for more than a year) for Mexican food that is so yummy, we want to keep coming back. I can't say that this is the spot, but it was good. The vibe is colorful, but a very tiny space. Mostly empty, except for one person when we arrived. There were some items that were tasty and items that were just meh. I usually judge a restaurant by how delicious their rice and beans are. Then I move onto the entrées. Rice and beans were both very uninteresting and bland. The rice just tasted like white rice. On the flip side, the Pollo Chorizo dish was delicious! The chorizo was not greasy and had great flavor. Especially since it sat on top of a delicious queso and pounded chicken breast. I was super interested in trying their Birria tacos, along with their chicken mole. The waitress said I couldn't have a side of the Birria gravy, nor could I have mole on my enchilada if I ordered the combo plate. So I opted for the 4 combo tacos. I asked about Birria gravy for that one taco. She finally relented and gave me a side of it. She said she would charge me a dollar but instead it was $2.99. Def not tasty at all. I will say the Tripas taco was the best one of the 4. Perfectly cooked, with a bit of crunch, and a bit of chewy. I also tried the Conchita, the Carnitas, along the Tripas and Birria ones. Finished off with the fried ice cream. Delicious! Their chips and salsa were just the right amount of heat for this little sissy. My husband got the spicier salsas and enjoyed them. Skinny margaritas were too sweet to finish. Went to pay with my debit card and had no idea they were going to charge an extra 3% for using a cash debit card. Honestly, this is probably the reason we will not return. Last minute up charge pricing is not my thing. No heads up, no info on the menu regarding this up charge. If it was on the menu, it was hidden pretty well. Moving on. There are literally hundreds of places to try. read more

All in all I'm very very shocked how good this Mexican food was! Wow I feel like it's always a hit or miss with Mexican food but this one was by far my favorite! The street tacos were juicy and tasty! The steak was delicious! They were perfect. We ordered the carne asada plate, which is Thin sliced grilled steak with grilled on. Fresh cut and served with rice, beans, pico de gallo, sour cream salad, and tortillas. So good!! The steak was not salty at all it had this little spicy kick to it which was great! The rice and beans were amazing! I will definitely order again or go eat here. read more

Went on a Saturday night and hardly any customers, but plenty of seats, quick service and delicious food. The waitress suggested several type of margaritas or pina colada. Pina colada is made with agave so I opted for water. The quesabirrias were delicious and very filling. 3 tacos for $14, stuffed full of meat and cheese. Came out nice and hot. I honestly was full after eating those, but got the churros anyway The churros were served warm. It's a personal preference but I would like caramel over chocolate, but still good. read more

I walked in to see if I could eat with this establishment since I've always been wanting to try it, and I stood at the front for over 10 minutes and not a single person said hi to me or acknowledged me. People from the back kitchen stared at me and a woman who seemed to be running food did the same. Not being acknowledged or said hi to at all. I understand it's busy but for me to be standing there for over 10 minutes being stared at by employees making me feel like I'm a burden or like they want me to leave instead of me being there. after 15 minutes i was told "give me five minutes" by the woman and then I waited another 5 and I just left. Would've been nice to try. But I don't think I will. read more

Ordered meals a few times from this Mexican gem while in the area. The tacos birria are a must. Tender beef and the dipping gravy are addictive. Love the chicken enchiladas and the chips and salsa too. One of the things we really appreciate about this restaurant are the many vegetarian options for those in our family who do not eat meat. All the traditional dishes, burritos, tacos, enchiladas and such with fresh prepared veges and not just rice and beans. Of course the rice and beans are delicious here too. Besides the amazing food, what we like best about this family owned restaurant is the service. We often order family sized orders of various dishes and they are prepared quickly, accurately, and with super friendly service. read more

Quiet Thursday night at center. Las Patronas is kinda hard to find, but so worth the search. Cute decor inside, super friendly owner/server. Warm chips and fresh salsa. Menu has family recipes with interesting combos. Seafood, steak, vegetarian, great selection. Unable/forgot to take food pictures because the food was so good. I'm a mole fan, and those enchiladas were great. The Mrs. finished off my bowls of beans. Owner said she wanted to move out of food truck, and foind this cute, clean and delicious hideaway. Open about 6 months here and we'll be back. Picture is us leaving after a delish meal. read more

I love this place, it's hard to find really good, authentic Mexican food on this side of town and they deliver! The staff is always friendly and the food comes out fast and you can tell they take a lot of pride in their restaurant. They make a mean michelada as well. I love the music they play as well, if you haven't been here yet you are missing out! read more

inattentive servers, subpar food, little to look at on the walls in terms of decoration. go somewhere else, nothing tastes right here

Server didn't speak English. Most of the food was smothered in tomato sauce. Very bland. Lunch was Combo 2 for $11.99. Had a side of guac and a soda. Bill came out to nearly $30. I'll let you do the math. Won't be going back. Tex-Mex? Not even close. read more

Very cute on inside lots of colors and music. I have had their food now twice (in the last week - so good) I went my first time on the way to the airport and had to bring my family back when I came the second time! Staff was so kind & I believe maybe the owner was our waitress the last time & she was telling us about the background of the restaurant which only a few months ago used to be a food truck. The house marg is purple which is adorable & matches color scheme inside. Both times I tried a pork dish w pineapple (that's already incredible) & the second time the cooks catered even more to my liking by adding things they'd think I'd like & my picky friend was even beyond satisfied with his street tacos & queso proclaiming to be the best he's ever had. read more
