Me and my family enjoyed the meal here . The food was delicious, and tender meats. The only downside was our server put onions for my wife when she asked for no onions. Very minor inconvenience and we totally understand as they are busy. However the entire meal was of good quality, fresh ingredients and decent portions. I found the price fair enough. Nice atmosphere and decor. 8.3/10

My wife & I discovered this cute little Mexican restaurant in the industrial side of Sherwood Park nearest Baseline Road back in September 2024. We really enjoyed ourselves from the moment of arrival. They took us in with no reservations. Good thing it was early enough for this. Really enjoyed all the wall art and the exposed kitchen. Our server was really friendly and walked us through the menu. She suggested the Sangria to start which we ordered. One of the best we’ve had in the city. Our food was incredible, and full of flavors. The sides were on the small side. Having run a kitchen many years ago. I know the cost of making rice n bean dishes, and it’s a very minimal food cost. The owners should reconsider talking to the chef regarding side portion sizes. We ordered extra sides which were still small at full price. Don’t be cheap! That was my only complaint. Everything was amazing and flavorful. Done remember the names of all the dishes so my pics will need to do. 5 stars if portion sides were a little more generous.

Tatiana our server was amazing, friendly and extremely attentive. She made our son's 17th birthday amazing before going back to Calgary. Food was delicious, authentic and loved the presentation. Best Mexican food in Alberta for sure! You will not be disappointed as we even made room for dessert. Tres leches was not too sweet and perfect for me. My son ordered churros and he loved how it was made in house with a soft texture.

Destination birthday dinner did not let us down. Food and drinks were absolutly delishious. It's too bad we didn't phone ahead for a reservation which would have been smarter. Dinner felt a bit rushed at a 'borrowed' table. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation, it's not the biggest dining room and the patio can be weather dependent.

La Patrona offers exceptional service and serves some of the best tacos I've had in the Edmonton area. Each dish was bursting with flavor, showcasing the authenticity and care put into their food. The friendly and attentive staff made the experience even better, ensuring a memorable visit. I’ll definitely be coming back for more.

Will absolutely go here for the food again! The Al Pastor was so flavourful! It was my favourite. The tres lechè put me in a food coma. The food was very filling, made us very happy. If there’s one thing that would have made my birthday dinner perfect is the service. It was quick, efficient and polite but just lacked the warmth (I cannot think of another word). It’s very in-eat-out. I loved the vibe of the restaurant and would definitely come here again.

Of all the Mexican food I have tried (take this with a grain of salt as I’ve never been to Mexico) this is by far the best. Each dish provides an amazing experience, clearly lots of effort and card has been placed into the creation of each. I recommend the Cochinita Torta and Jalapeño Chocolate Cake. The Torta was the perfect size to enjoy it to the fullest, an amazing dish to any metric and the Cake was the perfect mix of flavours. I was sceptical of Chocolate and Jalapeño but they complimented each other surprisingly well. The service was great, our food did not take long and you could tell it was clearly freshly made. The waitress was helpful and ensured we had help with whatever we needed. Overall a high recommendation if you ever find yourself in Edmonton.

La Patrona in Sherwood Park is a delightful little gem! The restaurant has a cozy feel with an impeccably clean kitchen. Their cocktails, especially the margaritas, are top-notch. Both the chicken and beef tacos were bursting with flavor. The service staff was excellent – attentive and friendly. Given how busy they were on a Sunday at lunchtime, definitely make a reservation to avoid disappointment. Highly recommend giving La Patrona a try!

Great spot, I d definitely go back!

December 16, 2024

This was the WORST restaurant I ve been to. The service is terrible. Takes 15 mins to get drinks. The appetizer came out FIRST before the drinks. The food tastes oily and like a d-list restaurant. The server was very impersonal and didn t explain the menu. The food is sub par. Would never visit here again.

December 16, 2024

It is a good restaurant, but lately we go there and they never have spots available for walk- ins. Which is very inconvenient. We used to go there often and we didn t have that problem they just asked us to wait because it was first come first serve basis.

La Patrona serves up delicious, authentic Mexican food with great flavors and generous portions. The tacos are fantastic, and the salsa adds the perfect kick! The ambiance is casual and welcoming, making it a great spot for a relaxed meal. The only thing I d suggest is a bit more variety in the menu. Overall, it is a solid choice for anyone craving tasty Mexican food!

Great food... But seriously, you cant provide Cutlery and napkins for takeout? That doesnt even make sense. At the very least, it could be on hand and offered if customers need it. I could get better service at a fast food drive-thru. Update: Thank you for your response but that wasnt my experience at all. The girl at the front very clearly and repeatedly said they ran out of cutlery awhile ago and never restocked so they dont give out Cutlery anymore. Followed up by a few sorrys at my look of confusion and annoyance. I even asked how I was supposed to eat my food, to which she kind of just shrugged. Its not a big deal if its a one-off and ran out unexpectedly, but she seemed pretty sure it was an ongoing and usual occurrence, and that they regularly refuse cutlery to customers as I very clearly asked for it.

I might come back again but Im not totally sure. Mom and I got the big plate of nachos and 2 drinks and that totaled to $55, not including tip. I think there might have been a charging error but Im not sure. The nachos themselves were very disappointing. They were built very strange, hardly had any toppings, and there was way too much of what I think was refried beans. It was kind of disgusting actually. I dont think this is the quality of the food they usually serve, according to other reviews so Im not sure why our nachos werent good. The service was very friendly and quick, and it was a nice cozy place. Just sucks that our nachos werent good.

My friends and I wanted to try out some Mexican cuisine, and we decided to go here. I will say that you must reserve a table if you have any hope of getting in. We arrived about 20 minutes early, and saw at least three groups get turned away. Once we were seated, I looked around and found the decor was modern with a splash of Mexican art and style. It was smaller then I pictured, but was well laid out and had a great atmosphere. We ordered the Nachos with guacamole, the beef Hambre, and the Pollo tacos. I must say, I want to go back, just to have more nachos. The tacos where just as good, but the nachos stood out to me for how much better they are then most others. I definitely recommend dining here.

I ordered the Al Pastor tacos. They were plated beautifully but I honestly felt like they tasted a little dry. I could barely taste the pineapple on them. The spices on the pork were good though.

We really missed some good tacos! Always remember the ones that we had in California from Mexican restaurants, food truck and cafes. Found this place with high reviews, thought to give it a try. Food was ok..The meat was dry, when we were offered cheese we thought it would be sprinkled on top, being melted ruined it so much, and there was waaaay to much cheese. Salsa was okish too, guacamole was good. It was not a love from the first taste..Left the plates more than half full.

I heard rave reviews about this place so a friend and I had dinner there last night. I was really disappointed with most of our meal and the service. I ordered a mango margarita which was really subpar. I wanted to order a double but in a tall glass. Our server said that they didnt have tall glasses (wth)? We ordered Tortilla Soup which was the highlight of the evening! Served traditionally and the taste was exceptional! Unfortunately, nothing else about the evening was a good experience. We ordered Pollo Adobado as a main to share. It was disgusting. The chicken was so overcooked it tasted like eating sawdust. The meal was drenched in chopped onions and served with a little tiny dish of sauce that didnt taste like much. And one sliver of lime. In hindsight, I should have sent it back to the kitchen. That is if our waitress ever came by. Really poor food and poorer service. We ordered coffee after our meal, but our waitress was nowhere to be seen with refills. When we did see her she kept forgetting that we wanted cream. I finally went up to the bar and the bartender was kind enough to give me a glass full. I dont think that I will be returning to this restaurant any time soon.

La Patrona has the best Mexican food around Edmonton in our opinion! We went there again this weekend and while the food was great, the service isn t quite as good and the tables are verrry small. We were seated at a table next to the wall and after ordering margarita flights and an appetizer and entrees, we literally did not have enough room on our table for our order. So if you re looking for great Mexican, go here but if you re looking for an all around great dining out experience, you may want to try elsewhere.

Delicious food and cute patio. I would recommend this place.l and would also come back. My only comment to management would be is regarding extra charge for salsa. We asked for their hottest salsa and the waitress brought us 2 salsas (which was about 1 to 2 tablespoons of salsa each). I don t know exactly what the up charge was because we didn t get a printed bill but it was about $3 per salsa. This seems like a lot for the quantity. If you are going to charge for this, there should be something on the menu or mention from serving staff to help avoid the surprise for customers.

Food - food was decent, definitely more fusion than authentic Mexican food. The demographic of customer definitely gave it away that it s a fusion Mexican place.

Atmosphere - tables are too close to each other, music is too loud and place is a little dim/dark

Love this place! It took us forever to visit here despite reading rave reviews, and it definitely lived up to the hype! Fantastic flavors, great service, and a fun atmosphere. Everything was completely stellar! We had several servers check on us, answer questions, and recommend things. The food was incredible; running the gamut of flavours: spicy, savory, sweet, acidic/bright, and all-around a delight! The drinks were great too, authentic margaritas are a highlight - along with an extensive selection of tequilas and even mezcal, which is a bit rare here - which I happily indulged in after dinner. The sangrita that accompanied it is made in-house and was so good we asked if we could buy it, which they said we could if we ordered ahead! If you dont know what it is, its very different from sangria - its like a fruit and vegetable cocktail with spices. Amazing palate cleanser and so good you could drink it on its own. You can make it, but it does have a fair few ingredients. Everything was presented very nicely, and the portions were very generous. The tacos seem to have quite a bit of variance in size though, so be sure to ask your server about that. Either way you will no doubt leave *very* full, and probably packing leftovers! Best thing to do is share everything so you can try more of the menu. The only slight complaint might be the churros, they were a bit doughy/soggy inside. Weve had better. But the chocolate whipped cream is a nice touch, and it could of course be different than when we went. Speaking of, it was filling up fast when we went at 4:30 on a Saturday, and it would have been better if we made a reservation - we were told the place was fully booked within an hour and a half. We took an hour so it was fine, but a big party was trickling in mid-way towards the end. La Patrona is not a well kept secret it seems, so expect it to be busy at peak times and surprisingly in off times as well. Im glad that theyre so busy & popular though, they certainly deserve it!! Highly recommended. Vegetarian options: Quite a few vegetarian options that are just as good as their carnivorous counterparts. No lack of flavor here! Kid-friendliness: Seems great for kids, plenty of babies and younger kids around with no issues. A fun atmosphere during the day, maybe better without kids later at night.

Really great food and customer service. We made a take out order over the phone when it was super busy and when we got home we realized one of the items of our order was missing. We called back and spoke to Tatiana who was super helpful in getting us a refund for the item we didn t receive (too far of a drive to pick up the missing item). Tatiana and the manager Alejandro were really helpful and we will definitely be back Dietary restrictions: My girlfriend has a gluten allergy and has never had a reaction to anything in the multiple times we ve eaten here. It s become a regular spot for us because they seem to have a good protocol to limit cross contact.

I have dined at La Patrona plenty of times and have always been blown away with how amazing their food is. I decided to have them cater a party for me for 30 people on April 12/24. I reached out to them through their website and received an email from their Director, Janette immediately. Janette was very helpful, and was always super quick to respond. Janette recommended for me to get the nachos, salsa, guacamole, Mexican rice, churros, and told me all the protein options I could choose from for our tacos. I ended up going with the Pollo, as well as the Brisket. The girls who delivered the food to my home were super professional, polite, and helpful. The FOOD! I am not lying when I say everything was amazing! I was told by plenty of guests that the guacamole was the best theyd ever had... the nacho chips were homemade and so delicious. I paid $24.95 per person for 30 people (this was based on each guest having 3 tacos...I can tell you one guest had 6, and we still had plenty!), and we had more than enough food. I would highly recommend having La Patrona cater your next party!

This restaurant is a small little gem that I have missed so many times visiting the complex. The atmosphere was very comfortable and inviting, with delicious food. It would be and will be a place to repeat visit to try all the items on their menu.

For a Sunday I couldnt believe how busy they were. Which is always a good sign. Staff were very accommodating considering a last-minute reservation with a wheelchair is not always doable when your super busy. Parking: Free parking in a huge parking low with any large free lots across the street. Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible entrance and low square tables near the front. The bathroom and patio are also accessible

I ve been going to this restaurant since I was a kid with my family and I ve had phenomenal service and food always felt comfortable until we got a server named Tatiana I believe who mocked us to the kitchen staff after we asked if there was 8 corn tortillas that was said on the menu instead of the 7 we got because we were sharing our meal after having a first date night out after having a sick toddler for so long and I watched her do it and they both looked back at us which made us so uncomfortable that we got our food to go after and left. I didn t want to give this entire restaurant a one star review because this is a first bad experience there for us and they really do have great food and drinks. We don t normally ask things like this but we were sharing and set a budget for our date night out since life is so expensive lately so we were just asking what we were paying for. She did some more things that sucked but I think the mocking was enough said on here. I get people have bad days but that was really bad service.

Made reservations to eat here with work team for lunch at noon on a weekday. Place was packed. They did have a large enough table reserved for us, but service was so slow (more from the wait staff than from kitchen) that two from our party left before ordering, as they were worried they couldnt wrap up the meal with enough time to get back for a meeting. Probably better for dinner than lunch, unless you dont have plans right away. Food was good.

We got the taco platter that gives you a choice of three different tacos, where you get three of each. We got the combination of camarón, the asada, and suadero. Suadero was my favourite. Juicy. Flavourful. Delicious. I also got a nonalcoholic p na colada that made me want to buy a ticket down south. But this is the only place I can afford.

When we arrived the restaurant was far from busy and there were 3 half booths available and about 8 tables available. I specifically called and made sure they had half booths available before we went in because we had my 3 month old with us, they confirmed over the phone it wouldn t be a problem to get a booth for 3 people. When we arrived the woman at the front started speaking in another language when I requested a booth and then had her colleague try to seat us at a table after I explained the bassinet wouldn t be stable on a chair and we needed a booth. They explained they wouldn t provide us with a booth as there were only 2 people in need of seats. Im extremely disappointed as we love the food here. But clearly they don t welcome or accommodate for families.

We ordered nachos as our appetizers, and when the waitress brought over the nachos the top tipped over as she placed it down from the table. She then said oh let me get some napkins for you. Ran over grabbed napkins and just placed them on the table. She didnt apologize for dropping our food or anything and then she saw our confused faces for her to be like oh you can clean it yourself or eat it off the table, the table was sanitized and we said yeah but were not eating off the table only for her to be like thats why I brought you napkins. Ive never experienced that in any other restaurant. If they drop food they either try to fix it or offer you a new plate. Instead she expected us to eat it off the table that Im sure they use the same wipe for every table, and then expected us to clean the mess... not good service. We were not happy. Aside from that, they brought us the wrong salsas but she never came back to ask how the food was until we were finishing up our food.

This is officially a staple for fantastic food! I have been here 6 times now and everytime has exceeded my expectations. Consistency! Presentation! Delicious Food! You dont want to pass up a meal at this wonderful establishment. Traditional food, modern twists, fresh ingredients. 12/10 will eat here again. Vegetarian options: There are veggie options, I cannot speak on how equipped they are for vegan options. Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free options, are very receptive to allergies etc. Parking: Lots of parking, massive buisness park on Sherwood Park. Wheelchair accessibility: Theres ramps, standard one floor one room restaurant/cantina.

They were knowledgeable about gluten free items and as a celiac I appreciated that. Items are not marked GF but the waitress goes through it with you. Everything was fantastic. The price is probably higher for the quantity that you get which is why the 4 star instead of 5 but everything else is great.
