La Patrona Mexican Cuisine, a 9-month-old family-run restaurant east of downtown Mesa, was destroyed in a massive fire overnight.
The restaurant was on the north side of Main Street, about halfway between Stapley and Gilbert, in a freestanding building that formerly was Casa Ramos.
According to various media reports, the building was unoccupied at the time and is a total loss.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
