Master Critic Review

Las Patronas 7.6
Astoria (North)-Ditmars-Steinway
Las Patronas is a sit-down Mexican restaurant on Steinway that replaced a prior taqueria with a slightly more polished dining room and a menu built around tacos, enchiladas, and flautas. It reads as a neighborhood option rather than a destination, but works well for casual dinners when you want table service and cocktails.
Must-Try Dishes: Birria Tacos, Chicken Flautas, Enchiladas Suizas

What makes it special: Steinway sit-down Mexican with flautas, tacos, and casual cocktails.
Who should go: Local groups wanting a simple, seated Mexican dinner.
When to visit: Weeknights or early weekends before Steinway gets crowded.
What to order: Birria tacos, chicken flautas, enchiladas suizas with extra salsa.
Insider tip: Ask about off-menu taco specials; the kitchen often tests new fillings.
