Mexican food love affair
Patrona
Why locals love it
The food. Oh my god, the food. It's fresh, zingy, authentic and crafted with love and real sensitivity to the tastebuds. It's just amazing. The menu isn't huge, but it's great quality and really well thought out. You can have the 'street food' options and keep the cost quite low, even at dinner time, a rarity in Helsinki.
Why you should visit it
First this expat family business had a tiny place, always full of loyal supporters ie. anyone who had ever tasted their food. Now they have a place 10 times the size - and it remains brim full of loyal local supporters! Lovely, delightful Mexican food, chefs and owners! Book ahead as they are understandably packed most of the time!
Special tip
Order two of the "street food" options instead of one main. Same price, just as filling and you get to try more flavours.
