Patrias Ceviches Tapas Restaurant
“Unlimited sangria specials (I always leave drunk)
Their tuna tartar is the best I've EVER had!”
“Normally, I like white sangrias more than the red because it is typically lighter but theirs tasted too orange-y for me but their red sangria was good – not heavy at all.”
“Our favorite was croquetas de bacalao, described as a fritter but really a croquette of cod.”

The place is beautiful and waitresses are friendly. Food is not bad – serves in large portion and price is reasonable. Maybe a little salty I guess…. Coz I drink much water during dinner! Another thing inconvenient is they don't accept any cards but only cash…..
Things I ordered here: grilled shrimp appetizer, beef empanadas, chorizo paella, and a very nice bottle of red wine. It was more of an attempt at dinner than tapas, and while the food was good my favorite was the grilled shrimp which were served in a delicately spicy garlic sauce that went very well with it.
On a Friday night we were lucky to get a table without reservations. I would recommend making a reservation if you're dining on the weekend, this is a popular spot in New Rochelle. My friend had the ceviche, which I tasted and thought was amazing. I think next time I come here I will order different things off the menu, like the ceviche. I thought the empanada was dry, I would stay away from those.
I really like the decor, modern but warm, dimly lit and an inviting intimate space. Look forward to more dinners here.
I was devastated when my beloved Cholo's Kitchen closed, but Patria is doing a nice job in its place. It's becoming a regular on my New Rochelle restaurant rotation.
The atmosphere is elegant but casual, intimate and warm but sharp and modern. You can usually walk in without a reservation, yet the place isn't awkwardly empty either. The waiters are super nice and helpful as well.
The food is quite good. I really enjoy the ceviche Peruano, although it's not quite at the level Cholo's ceviche was on (also a slightly smaller portion). The tuna tartare and empanadas are also great. In addition to the main menu, there's always a separate specials menu that's pretty extensive. The only thing I've had that I didn't like at all was the chicken soup, which I found to be bland.
Overall I definitely recommend this place for a nice evening of tapas and drinks! With time, I'm confident that it can reach the 5 star quality of it's predecessor, Cholo's Kitchen.
I came here last Friday night with a dear friend of mine. The spot wasn't hard to find and it's away from the busy parts of New Rochelle so it was actually relatively easy to find parking. When I got there, the place wasn't that busy yet. The décor of the place is casual – a good spot to go with friends and small groups but I wouldn't label it as romantic. We ordered five tapas – the patatas bravas, the fried artichokes, the vegetable empanadas, the broiled shrimp with garlic and butter, and the cod croquettes. Most were absolutely phenomenal. I liked the cod croquettes and the fried artichokes the best. The empanadas were good but it could have been better. Also, I thought it was a bit too expensive for one empanada ($4). We also ordered the red and the white sangria. Go with the red here. Normally, I like white sangrias more than the red because it is typically lighter but theirs tasted too orange-y for me but their red sangria was good – not heavy at all. The meal was very filling and we stayed for quite a while because it was a very comfortable atmosphere.
My only critique was the waiter that we had. When we placed our order for the tapas, he mentioned that he noticed we were ordering all fried things – may he suggest some salad to break it up? We said no, we weren't in the mood but thanks. After that, he kept pushing for us to order a salad. It makes me think he needs additional sales or he was calling us fat. Just annoying. But if you don't count the waiter, the experience was fun!
Also note, it's a cash only place! I didn't know until I got there.
