SINCE 2017
AUTHENTIC MEXICAN CUISINE
AT LA PATRONA, EVERYONE IS FAMILY
Chef Carlos grew up in Mexico City in a food culture as diverse and unique as any in the world. After leaving Mexico when he was 19, he spent many years working in kitchens across the US and discovering his passion for creating food that everyone can enjoy
Hard work and dedication through his training at Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts Institute landed him a highly coveted gig at a Michelin-starred restaurant in California before he finally made his way to Canada.
In Edmonton, Chef Carlos and his business partner - Janette, started the Casa12Doce food truck. Set up for many years in various parking lots throughout the city, Casa12Doce became not only a staple of the food truck scene but also of the community.
The delicious, authentic food created a following so loyal that when Chef Carlos and Janette decided to open a restaurant in 2016, it did not take long for the place to fill up regularly. Now, they are looking to the future, as they have been so fortunate to have such amazing clientele. In the meantime, they will always look forward to seeing you at the restaurant and the truck.
“If you are coming here, you are welcome. You are coming to my home.”
– Chef Carlos
