" I will admit, I was skeptical of eating at a mall, but La Patrona blew my expectations out of the water! I got the chicken nachos, and they were fantastic. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and bursting with flavor. The atmosphere fits the mall setting, but the competency and cheer of the staff made me feel welcomed. I will be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Phenomenal tacos! I had the al pastor and it was simply perfect! The spices were just right, making each bite enjoyable. It's a bummer that the setting is a mall food court because the smells and sounds can be overwhelming, but the quality of food makes up for that. I'll definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited La Patrona after hearing so many rave reviews. I had a steak burrito and was blown away by how flavorful it was. The accompanying salsa was perfect! The only downside was the mall atmosphere, which felt a bit lifeless, but the staff was friendly and helpful. A little gem in the food court for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for La Patrona after hearing good reviews from my friends. The birria tacos were absolutely the highlight of my meal – flavor-packed and very authentic. The atmosphere wasn’t much to shout about, being in a mall food court, but I didn’t mind. I'll make this a stop every time I’m in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing flavors! I tried a mix of their tacos and was blown away by how authentic they tasted. Fresh, flavorful, and filling, I could tell the ingredients were high quality. The food market vibe was bustling, but that just adds to the experience. Can't wait to go back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Patrona has been a fantastic find. It’s tucked away, but don’t overlook it if you're at Eastland Mall! The tacos are packed with flavor, and you won’t leave hungry. Great value if you're looking for something tasty on the go. The atmosphere isn't fancy, but their food is worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family loves La Patrona! We often get together there for lunch as a quick and tasty option while shopping. The tacos are our favorite, with generous servings and the best flavors. The service is efficient, and even if the atmosphere isn't fancy, it's cozy enough to feel good about eating there. " (*Curated Review*)
