"I can’t rave about this new neighborhood spot enough! My spouse and I have been obsessed with the quality of service, the incredible food and even better margarita deals on Sunday! Highly recommend giving this place a try."

"Excellent service, the salsa, guacamole and carne asada was flavorful. Gave it 4 stars because for $27 for carne asada, I expected bigger steak. Usually when I visit restaurants with carne for over $20 I have tons of leftovers."

"This was our first time at La Catrina. The service was exceptional! Our food was absolutely delicious. Our main courses came out soon after our appetizer and they kept it fresh and hot for us in the kitchen. Pictured: empanadas, tamale dinner, and tostada dinner. Our beverages were freshly made iced tea and a premium margarita with an orange liqueur. Every single thing was delightful. We'll be back."

"Had the best Watermelon Margarita! Didn’t taste sweet - was perfect! The food was delicious. I had a steak burrito and my friend had a taco salad. Both seasoned perfectly & very tasty. The staff was very attentive & the owner, herself stopped by to chat. Will definitely be going back."

"Great experience! The highlights for me were the rice and beans and the mango margarita. I would recommend the steak or enchiladas verde. Our server was friendly and attentive. Prices were high in comparison to other places in the area, but overall I would dine here again!"

"Stopped by this taco spot and was really impressed. The food was very flavorful and the portions were generous. The tacos were fully loaded with well-seasoned meat, fresh toppings, and just the right amount of cheese . The rice and beans tasted fresh and complemented the meal perfectly instead of feeling like filler sides. The salsa also had a nice, fresh kick. My daughter had the margarita. She said it tasted just as good as it looks, well mixed, refreshing, and not watered down. Overall, everything was so appetizing and delivered on taste."
