September 14, 2026
Arsenio and Maria Rodriguez, the husband-and-wife team behind La Patrona. Maria runs the front of house while Arsenio commands the kitchen, and together they've built La Patrona into a place that feels like home — the kind of restaurant where the food carries the weight of family tradition and every plate tells you something about where they come from. We're excited to get into their story, what La Patrona means to them, and what's cooking next.
