WOW, People are Going CRAZY Over a New Mexican Restaurant in Tyler, TX

Now, it's no secret how much people in Longview and Tyler, Texas ADORE Mexican food. Whether Tex-Mex or authentic Mexican, we really, really, REALLY love it.

Thankfully, we have a plethora of delicious options to choose from all over East Texas. Even so, when we hear a significant buzz about a new place that's opened in one of our East Texas cities, our pretty little ears perk up like hummingbirds hovering around a gallon of sugar water.

I was particularly struck by the rave from one Tyler-area resident on a local social media group page. Michelle Seelbach had this to say about her first visit to La Patrona:

"YALL!!!!!!!!! A friend from out of town tagged me on a newspaper article about LaPatrona. [...] We went but didn’t expect anything new compared to allll the rest of the Mexican places in town and the fact that nothing ever can stay in that location. OOMMGG!!!!!!! Every single thing was fantastic. This is our new go to place!!"

Wow, that's a heck of a rave, don't you think?

Seelbach went on to say how much she and her husband enjoyed meeting the owner and the staff, who she said were very friendly. She said she loved hearing about the area in Mexico where he lived and learned how to cook the local Cuisines.

Located in the Off-Broadway Shopping Center at 2301 South Broadway in Tyler, people who've had the chance to dine here have been raving all over social media about their experience.

Recently, an article from TylerPaper.com described La Patrona as "a new family-owned authentic Mexican drive-thru restaurant with a variety of unique platters," that will be serving their delicious options from 9 a.m. until 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Dine in, out on the patio, or head home after ordering from their drive-through.
