"Second time ordering and can confirm that La Patrona isn't bad, and also it's not great. Their carnitas are unconventional and very well-seasoned. No crispy ends, and they use small chunks instead of large, juicy hunks, but there are hints of citrus andmaybe cardamom ??? . They're pretty good. 4 stars. Their grilled chicken isn't my type, as they keep the chicken cut intolarge, hunky strips that are dry and lack flavor. 2.5 stars. La Patrona's rice is verrry pale. One of my main complaints, as itlacks flavor. Their beans are meh. Very bland black beans with no extra thought. The nachos never have enough chips ormoisture. And while their chips are house-fried, they're incredibly thin. They'll almost dissolve by the time they make it toyou. I've specified that I'd like extra in my order... Fortunately, I always have extra chips and salsa on hand to turn theseinto a pretty decent, certainly large meal. $12, 3 stars. Patrona offers a taco salad, and I love that! Actually this is one ofmy favorites, just because it's difficult to find. Because the rice and beans are bland, this dish won't astonish you. But thegreen salsa otherwise wayyy too salty makes for a good dressing. $12, 3.5 stars."
