Native Tejana Patricia “Patty” Arredondo celebrates the power of food to create shared experiences and heightened awareness of places and people. She has more than three decades of experience in the restaurant industry and her career spans diverse roles and projects that are linked by a consistent, passionate-fueled quest for cultural connection.

She helped spearhead and is the GM at the border cuisine, El-Paso inspired Mexican restaurant, Rancho Lewis.

Patty firmly believes all experiences can be aided by good tequila and unfiltered laughter and is delighted to share rich border cuisine and culture with the Charleston community and beyond.
