When I tell you I just ordered two orders of steak tacos, thinking cause this place had high reviews it wouldbe better. This is maybe the WORST tacos in NYC I've ever had! It was the tacos that had about 3 or 4 extra toppings, which Iwas thinking it would give it extra flavor. When I SAY YOU'RE BETTER OFF EATING THIS WITH COVID! It might taste better! Therewas ABSOLUTELY ZERO FLAVOR, there was no taste for the sour cream. No taste for the cheese. No taste for the flour tortilla. Notaste for the steak. Steak actually tasted boiled. I'm so disappointed in the food in NYC, and this place just adds to theproblem. I'd never try this place again. Ridiculous is an understatement for the lack of taste! NY air pollution has more flavorthan these oxygen tacos! How embarrassing. The Bodega makes a better Chicken Cutlet Salad than this! Would it kill you to addsome Sazon to the meat? Adobo? SOMETHING!

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.
