We went to LaPatrona last night and enjoyed it very much. The food was good. The ambiance is very nice, with a view of the harbor there. Last night there was a man singing, at a lovely LOW volume. They had a pretty decent selection of wines by the bottle for $16 or $18, can't remember which. There was a complmentary tostata with beans. I had the chicken Tampico and Eric had the red enchiladas. Both were good, although I thought my chicken could have benefitted from a white sauce, although perhaps they run light on sauce in general there. Eric cleaned his plate, so he must have thought his was pretty good. We had the flaming coffee and the bananas flambe The young gentleman who was doing the 'flaming' was very nice , but seemed kind of inexperienced. They have some seating out by the side, with some gas firepits, which were nice. I would go back, although I don't think I would pay for the flaming coffee again. Afterward Eric went to check out the sports bar and was disappointed. Inside there was a bar with some seating and maybe 4 or 5 tables, outside about the same amount and 4 or 5 TVs. He said it was very small.

It's at Simpson Bay Resort, where Los Gauchos was, years ago, and the Steakhouse before that.

We parked at the lot which is on top of the Marina building, directly across from the casino. We told them we were going to La Patrona and they let us in. Actually, to me, Buccaneer and Green House have a decent amount of parking. Again, though, it is traditional pure Mexican, NOT Tex-Mex, so don't expect Tex-Mex.

As far as I know, there's not an elevator that goes all the way to the Marina level? If so, I would love to know where it is. We took the elevator to one floor above the Marina level and then walked up and down that one set of stairs.

Technically, it is for people staying at SBR, but we asked and said where we were going, and they let us in. That lot was NOT full at all. Of course, it's off season.

I honestly don't think authentic Mexican is very spicy?? It's a beautiful setting, for sure. We went to Mario's last night, and I have to say, for the price, it didn't blow my skirt up. We had better presentation on our burgers for lunch today at LaPlaya than the presentation of the food last night at Marios.. Service at Marios was outstanding though.. Service at LaPatrona, not so much.
