La Patrona — Restaurant in Carlsbad

Spanish speaking only.... Very small portions...

We had a 4 taco plate $13.00 they had very small tortillas with very little meat, they were supposed to have guacamole but only 2 had it and it was a dab or equivalent to 1/2 a teaspoon... The Beans were undercooked and the Rice was ok....

2 Chile relleno burritos, they we both both good..

1 Enchilada plate with Picadillo which was very hard to eat as it was way too spicy 🔥 we told the cashier and she just said sorry and smiled... and we told the cook and he just started laughing and said it would give you strength 💪...

If they would've tried to make it right, at least we would think of coming back....That's was not the case...So suffice it to say...They have lost a customer.

If you're thinking about eating here, if you can't handle too much spicy food..I would suggest you try someplace else.. If you like spicy food? This place is for you.

Oh yeah... No...

When I say looked like a good place- it appeared to have been there for a while, the menu was posted on the exterior and was easy to read, there were lighted photos of many of the dishes, and there were locals in and out like bees.

I got a taco plate with carnitas and The Husband got their version of a Cuban sandwich, and I didn't even get pictures because we inhaled everything.

Literally everything in the to-go box was delicious, the chunks of pork were fried to perfection, the rice tasted so good I finished it and I almost never do, and the refried beans had so much flavor.

I don't know if we will be back by that way, we were just passing through, but we would...

These people claim to close at 8 but when you call at 7:30, they don't pick up the call, they just let it ring and sometimes theyll pick up the call but just remain silent in the background not wanting to take the order. What a ridiculous service. It's always like that. Then I call at 7:53 and they answer and tell yes can I help you, and they tell me that they are already close when I told them ive benn calling since 7:30 and the owner tells that they are close and that they dont take orders after 7. What kind BS service that is. Then why say at their homepage that they close at 8 but don't take orders after 7. That's ridiculously stupid of them That's the last time I'm...
